application, mixing. 1 part of arsenate
of lead with 9 parts of air slaked lime,
sifted wood ashes or a similar dust

one-half days of demonstrations and
lectures will be given.
HONEY OUTPUT OF STATE '
AMOUNTS TO 60 CARLOADS
Sixty carloads, or what would
amount to a good sized freight train is
a conservative estimate of the amount
of honey produced each year in the
state, according to H. A. Scullen, spec
ialist in bee culture at the Oregon Ag
ricultural college.
The state now has 100,000 colonies
of bees, managed by nearly 10,000 bee
keepers. The largest honey producing
section in the state are the irrigated
districts in eastern Oregon, Umatilla
and Malheur counties leading. With
300,000 acres under irrigation and 1,
200,000 more which it is possible to ir
rigate, Oregon is able to furnish past
urage for many more colonies than,
she now has. Five acres are consider
ed sufficient pasturage for one colony.
The clear, water white honey, the
best grade, is made from the nectar of
alfalfa, sweet clover, alsike and white
clover, and firewood blossoms. It is
this grade that is produced in eastern
Oregon. . From 15 to 20 carloads are
produced in these leading counties,
some large producers selling as much
as one or two carloads.
In the western part of the state bees
are pastured on berry blossoms and
clover. Fruit trees are of minor im
portance, the spray used in many cas
es being injurious to the ' bees. Much
honey is produced from the fireweed
found in the large burned over sections
in the Cascade range. ,
As much as 75 per cent of the state
production is sold through the local
dealers, or passes through th hands
of a jobber. Most of it is consumed
within the state, some being shipped
into Washington and other near-by
states. Money from other states and
the tropics, of an inferior grade is
shipppd into the state,, labeled and sold
as the Oregon product.
The honey placed on the market is
graded to some extent, but grading is
not efficient enough to prevent loss by
the producer. The cheaper grades are
blended in with the clear white grade,
bottled, and sold as Oregon honey. A
large percentage is extracted and sold
in bottles, bringin ga fancy price, al
though some is still sold in cakes as
taken from the supers. Prices. vary
according to the grade and the amount
to be sold. -Large quantities sell for
The Time to Buy
Is when others are not buying
when money is rather close
and prices are low.
When spring opens there Is
always a buyers' rush, and
prices always follow demand.
If you want a city home, a
farm or any property, look them

as low as 10 cents a pound, while
fancy honey in small lots brings from
35 to 30 cents.
Steps are being taken through the
college and extention service to con
trol disease among bees, and to in
crease yields of honey.
RECIPES
Baked Potatoes Take medium size
potatoes, smooth skinned and of a uni
form size, scrub thoroughly with a veg
etable brush and trim off both ends to
allow the steam to escape. Bake from
45 minutes to one hour in a medium
hot oven and serve as soon, as done.
To Make Crisp Toast jThe secret
of making crisp toast lies in having
no moisture in the bread. Put the
slices in the oven for 15 minutes and
leave the door open. The bread1 will
then toast quickly and well.
Bread Puddings Old and New
Dry bread is bound to accumclate
but no waste from this source is nec
essary If the cook will resort once or
twice each week to the making of
bread puddings.
For the plain pudding one takes, of
course, a cupful of crumbs or one and
a half cupfuls of small ppeces of bread.
They are placed in a buttered baking
dish and a mixture of one slightly
beaten egg, three or four tablespoons
ful of white or brown sugar, one salt
spoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of
butter, a litle nutmeg, and a pint of
scalding milk poured over them. . The
dish should stand on the cool part of
the stove jhalf an hour, if convenient,
then bake about an hour in a rather
slow oven. We may make it with fruit
or without, or we may add half a cup
ful or so of apple sauce before baking,
to the improvement of flavor and rich
ness; and we may serve it with whip
ped cream or plain cream, or various
sauces.
Great Damage Done
By Fruit Maggots
Recently there has been miyjh com
plaint from owners of cherry trees,
who have found their ripe friut in
fested by small maggots or worms.
The .following might be of interest to
those persons. "
"The cherry fruit maggot, occurs as
a small white maggot, inside the ripe
fruit. If the regular arsenate sprays
are applied for -cherry slug control
they will usually serve to check the
maggot However, the Standard spray,
as applied in the form of a poison bait
for the adult fly is: sodium arsenate.
one-half pound; syrup or molasses, two
quarts; water, eight gallons. Three
applications should be given ; the first,
when the adult flies appear. This will
be about the time the Royal Annes
show good color, or about June 8 to
20. A second application should fol
low ten days later, and a third one
week after the second. Two applic
tions will probably suffice if carefully
timed and no 'showers of rain inter
fere. Rains will discount the "effect
of previous applications and necessi
tate a repetition of the spray.
The spray should be applied at the
rate of about one pint to the tree, ap
Plying the solution as fine droplets to
the upper surface of the outer leaves.
Seedling trees and adjacent foliage
should receive the tretment s well."
It is suggested tht next Spring this
matter be taken up with the (County
Agent in Oregon City, who will be
glad to supply the necessary informa
tion for control of this- pest.
BUREAU ARRANGES
CAMPAIGN AGAINST
. TUBERCULOSIS
Examinations Under Direction United
States Department Of
Agriculture " .
Announcement of the Clackamna
county farm bureau arrangement with
the government for tuberculin tests of
the dairy herds of the county has been
maoe ty county Agent W. A. Holt
Clackamas County Farm Bureau has
completed arrangements whereby all
cdiue in tne county may foe tested for
tuberculosis by Federal testers' Ruv-
ers of dairy cattle every where are de
manding that the animals be examined
for tuberculosis, and the county that
does not take advantage of the oppor
tunity control the disease shnnM h
classed as a back number.
Under the plan worked out for Clack
amas County there will be the very
small charge of 15c (fifteen cents) per
head for all animals examined, the
tee to be paid at the time the test is
made. Any animals that the tester
finds to be tubercular will be subject
to slaughter or quarantine. They will
be appraised by the examining veter
inarian at values not to exceed $50 for
grades and ?100 for purebreds. The
meat value Of the animal is also taken
into consideration. 'This means that
the owner will be partly or wholly paid
for any cattle he may lose and at the
same time remove the disease from
among his healthy cattle and greatly
reduce the danger to his family and
others.
This will he an excellent piece of
work for the cattle owners of Clack
amas County and every effort should
be made to effect a thorough clean-up.
Every dairy animal in the county
should be tested. .
Examinations will commence, Aug.
7 in the territory west of the Willam
ette river. There are approximately
10,000 head of dairy cattle in the coun
ty and the program will necessarily
consume a large amount of time, but
will be carried to a satisfactory con
clusion.
The examining veterinarian will be
under th direction of the Bureau of
Animal Industry of the United States
Department of Agriculture. For furth
er details address or call the County
Agent Office at Oregon City.

"i Nut "Crop Adds to Income.
'On many American farms by-products
or small crops make Important
additions to the income, and in many
localities nut trees planted about the
farm buildings, along the highways, or
in other unoccupied spaces, or old
trees that have been left in the clear
ing away of the original forest, are
depended upon to add noticeably to
the bank accounjt. Forward-looking
farmers want to make their trees pro
duce the best nuts and in th greatest
possible quantity.
First of all, every tree intended to
bear nuts in quantity needs ample
space, 60 feet being none too great an
Interval between trees of equal rate
of growth, and larger trees, unless on
the shady side, should be 100 feet
apart. A fertile soil that is reason
ably moist is best for nut trees, well
drained clay loam being the most de
sirable. Variety is next in importance to soil
and location. Experienced observers
know that nut trees do not come true
to seed, and that the only way to
reproduce a variety or an identical
type is by grafting or budding, as Is
done with apples, peaches, pears, and
other fruits. Nurseymen in the north
ern part of the country are now propa
gjiiing several varieties of black wal
nuts, pecans, hickories, and butternuts
by these methods, but due to the fact
that active interest began only a de
cade ago, none of these varieties has

been given much opportunity to
demonstrate its usefulness as a
money-crop producer. However, sev
eral varieties are promising.
Mature native trees that are well
situated may be made more valuable
by top-working. By "top-working" is
meant the replacing of the original
top; with a new top of another variety

It has been practiced for a long time
by fruit growers to increase the value
of seedling trees and trees of inferior
varieties, and owners of nut trees are
now adopting the method. The steps
to be taken are: (1) The selection of
trees, taking into account the things
just mentioned; (2) the choice of
varieties to be used, and the making
sure of scions or bud sticks at the
proper time; (3) the cutting back of
the tops during the latter part of the
dormant period or very earty in the
spring; (4) the actual process of
grafting or budding; ,and (5) the
subsequent care. oX tfea.new growth;
