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

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.

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

- 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. Mrs. C, L. S.

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."
