Page Eight THE BANNER-COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1922. AGRICULTURE AND LIVESTOCK NEWS Up-to-date Information to Help Develop Progressive Farming STATE COLLEGE AT FAIR MAKES UNUSUAL EXHIBIT Students of agriculture, the home, trades and industries, Oregon farmers and home-makers . and military, men and florists, find an appeal in the four groups of exhibits staged at the' Ore gon State Fair by the agricultural col lege. These groups show student and military training, the latest and most helpful findings of the experiment sta tion as to crops, livestock and poultry, horticulture, and farm plans in Oregon, and ecnomic floral design. " Campus training in agriculture, home economics, commerce, mining, forestry, pharmacy and vocational ed ucation, are graphically represented in the educational pavilion. Brilliant transparencies show the observer the principal activities as they are car ried out by student and staff. IaL formation booths will supply literature and offer consultation to those in search of information. The station in four large booths shows what farm crops to grow and which to let alone in various parts of Oregton, -soil fertility, moisture and management, farm plans and land clearing by new burner method, grow ing and caring for fruit, including new economic prune drying, and classes, types and breeds of farm animals and poultry, with feeds and management for improved stock and profits. How the country's soldiers live in war and in peace camps, means and arms of attack and defense, Banitary living in .training and field camps, modern army transportation and other important military features are shown in the military display. The floral arts exhibit shows some methods of making the best use of the flower friends and. presents sugges tions to practical florists in the con duct of their business. The entire exhibit is by far the most complete and helpful ever staged by the college. Concrete Tank For Liquid Manure A. 2000-gallon concrete tank has been built and arranged to catch all the liquid manure from the dairy barn on the E. W. Van Tassel Ayrshire farm at Wenatchee, Wash. The concrete gut ters are extended through the barn lot and join at a point near the pit. A pitcher pump is used to pump the liquid into a 200-gallon tank, which is hauled on a truck to he orchard and the manure sprfjntyled; on the soil. Mr. Van Tassel estimates that this form of manure is worth about $7 a load, based on the fact that all solid manure from the dairy herd is sold readily at $3 a ton at the farm. There is a waiting list of orchardistg who want the manure and much more could be sold if it could be supplied. For his own orchard Mr. Van Tassel used an alfalfa cover crop, which is disked under every spring for a mulch. With this plan there is little use for the solid manure when the liquid can be supplied in large enough quantities to fertilize the crop. How To Avoid Colds And Roup The cold nights will soon be here. With them will come colds and roup in the poultry flock, unless prompt measures are taken to prevent them. In about nine cases out of ten these troubles come from lack of fresh air in the poultry house or coop. The chickens will not take cold just be cause the weather is cold. They are more likely to take it when they are too closely crowded together in a small coop with -little ventilation. They become overheated at night and when the cold air strikes them in the morning they catch cold. Give them an open shed to roost in and spread the perches not less than eighteen in ches apart. With plenty of fresh air, which is only secured in an open-front house with wide-apart roosts, the flock will suffer little or none from colds and roup. The fresh air treatment is the only sure preventative or cure. BUFFALO HERDS INCREASING ON FEDERAL GAME PRESERVES Forty-six new buffalo calves are re ported on tfcree of the four game pre serves maintained by the Biological Survey of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture for the special protection of buffalo. On the National Bison Range, in Montana, there are 417 buffalo, including 28 calves born this spring. - Fifteen calves are re ported at the Wind Cave preserve in South Dakota, and three at Niobrara, Nebr. - . The department has been 'very for tunate in maintaining the herds es tablished at these three points and at Sullys Hill, N. Dak. There are rela tively few large buffalo herds now scattered over the country, and the Biological Survey has made special efforts to provide suitable ranges and protection for what threatened a few years ago to become extinct species of native American animal. , Fall Breeding of Mares PLAN FOR IMPROVING STOCK Progressive Firm of Butchers In Ohio Hit on Novel Scheme to Build Up Quality. (Prpara hr tha United Statu Department . of Acrleultura.) Recognizing that live-stock improve meut is beneficial to the meat trad as well as " to producers of animals, butchers are becoming Interested In the better-sires idea. A progressive firm of butchers in a small Ohio city seeks to better the live stock of that locality by a plan described In the fol lowing letter to the United States De partment of Agriculture: "While we have never made a busi ness of dealing in purebred live stock," says the writer, -'we have always en couraged their use. We try to keep a line on well-bred young bulls In our vicinity, and whenever we buy an ani mal for slaughter we use our best ef forts to have him replaced with some thing better. We believe this plan will help to build up the quality of cattle in the neighborhood, to the ad vantage of both ourselves and the farmers. "When we kill an animal that has an exceptionally good 'dress' we dlB play the carcass In our window, giving in a card the age, live weight, dressed weight and the percentage of dressed meat. In this way we advertise to producer that they get more live weight and we get more dressed weight from well-bred stock than from Inferior stock of the same age. We have demonstrated also the superiority of veul calves from well-bred parents, and have shown that they mean More to the farmer In dollars and cents than the other kind." In commenting on the plan, live itock specialists in. the bureau of anl nal industry point out that small town butchers are In a position to help First Cross Snoqthorn Steer Obtained by Using a Purebred Sire With a Common Cow. in influencing the quality of future generations of cattle and hogs that come to their cutting blocks. The plan as presented by the firm of butchers quoted is In accord with methods of live-stock improvement advised by the department. MARKET HOMI GROWN FEEDS Farmer Should Determine Number of Head of Cattle to Keep by Available Feed. The number of live stock which a farmer feeds on his farm should be determined by the amount of home grown feeds which he has on hand, and the price which he can get for these feeds if sold on the market. As a general rule live stock will market home grown feeds at a profit if the live stock is given a square deal; but it is out of. the question toexpeet scrub stock to be ec onomlcal users of. feeds.

Phone 70 Oregon City There appear to be many good rea sons for breeding brood mares in the fall in preference to the spring season. Farmers who have their cows bred for fall calves will find that many of the advantages in favor of this prac tice will also apply to the breeding of brood mares. In a recent statement, George R. Rothwell, of the Canadian Department of Agriculture, points out that a mare bred for fall foaling will be available for more work in the busy season; that foals will be stronger at birth and will get a better start, and that the older foals will survive their first sum mer better than those produced in the spring. The disadvantages -of fall breeding are that in some cases a stal lion is not available, and that occa sionally a mare will be found almost impossible to breed out of the spring season. If a mare foals in May or June, she is necessarily idle for some time be fore and after the foal is born. Under best conditions for the foal, the mare should really be idle for several weeks before the foal arrives and for a con siderable length of time afterward. Where the mare does not foal until late fall, her services are available when they are most urgently needed, and she raises the foal during the win ter, when she would be com paratively idle on practically every farm. This is a more efficient ar rangement than when a mare foals during the corn planting or earJy hay ing season. ' - - Weak foals are usually ascribed to lack of exercise or heavy grain feed ing of the mare during the idle winter period. If the mare is judiciously worked while pregnant, the unborn foal is bound to benefit from the exer cise. Horsemen who breed for fall foals believe that the exercise of the mare accounts for the higher percent age of strong foals in the fall. They also believe that it has a considerable, effect in reducing the percentage ot joint-ill cases in fall foals. The fall-born foal is usually active at birth and can got much exercise during1 the fall and early winter. It does not suffer from heat and flies, or from having to follow a hungry mare over a dry, bare pasture. A good box stall and a barnyard with a shed af ford a desirable environment for the foal during the winter. When the foal is weaned in the spring its growth and age will enable it ot withstand summer conditions much better than a new born animal. RECIPES Contributions to this column are . invited . - Make Your Own Soap If rinds are salty put in warm water for 24 hours. To each five and a half pounds of rinds and cracklings use one can of lye in one quart of water and be sure to let it cool, then add it to the rinds with two -and a half or three quarts more of cold water. Let this mixture stand ten days, or three weeks will not matter, but stir occas sionally. Place in a kettle and boil from one to two hours until it drops like syrup from the paddle. Ten minutes before removing from the fire add three tablespoons of kero sene; this will make the soap lather, and four tablespoons of salt will make the residue sink to the bottom; one and a half tablespoons of soda makes soap whiter. In 24 hours cut into de sired pieces and lay out to dry, being sure to cut away the settlings from the bottom. . . ." If jthe soap isn't to your satisfaction when finished add more water and re boil.

EXPOSITION WOULD .BENEFIT ALL OREGON "California's most rapid growth was from 1910 to 1920," and we believe we can cite this as being partially attain ed, at least, by the Panama-Pacific ex position," says Guy E. Leonard, secre tary of the Fresno chamber of com merce, in a letter received at the Ore gon 1924 exposition headquarters, tell ing of the great benefits the entire state of California received from the 1915 exposition. The subject is of especial interest at this time, as Oregon is in line to reap similar benefits from the 1925 ex position, which is to be an Oregon ex position, and not one for Portland or any other one section of the state.' The entire state is to vote on Novem ber 7, on the proposition to give Port land authority to tax itself for financ ing the exposition. In the course of his letter, Mr. Leon ard saysr" "There were a number pf very definite faenefits derived from tat exhposition," referring to the Panama-Pacific exposition, which was used most extensively to advertise to the world the resources' of California. Among the benefits he names "the pub licity that attended it, publicity that extended to every corner of the United States and that was worth in itself the price of the exposition. Of even great er benefit was the" result of this pub licity, when thousands of eastern visit ors came to California." "Oregon can achieve results in state development; as gratifying as those which have come to California, if the entire state maintains a united spirit," declares Mayor George L. Baker of Portland, who is head of the iommlttee conducting the campaign for the amendment to be voted on iff Novem ber. "We must all get together and work for Oregon as California has for California.- This state has the attrac tions for tourists, who can be drawn here by the thousands; it has agri cultural, commercial and industrial op portunities and resources, the same as California, It takes only some big movement such as the 1925 exposition to start the ball rolling."
