Fall Potato Plantinn? Weill
1 a -
"Shall we plant potatoes" this fall for
early potatoes next spring?" is a ques
tion asked of the farm crops depart
ment at the O. A. C. Experiment Sta
tion. "If you do, plant whole, medium
sized spuds five or six inches deep," is
the reply. Spring planting is general
ly better, it is said, wherever land can
be worked early in spring. The po
tatoes in the ground over winter are
more subject to loss from rotting, and
injury from wire worm, gophers and
other enemies. .
Bulk Grain Handling Grows
Bulk handling and "exportation of
grain are stealily growing at Portland,
says G. R. Hyslop of the state experi
ment station. As the conveniences
and economy of bulking becomes bet
ter understood every important grain
growing dstrict will want bulk eleva
tors and bulk grain bins for farm stor
age. "Many a farmer's sack bill is as
high as his taxes," says Hyslop. Sack
handling is more expensive and labori
ous than bulk handling.
Wheat Dusting Needs Machine
"No farmer should try to test out
copper carbonate dust for wheat smut
control unless he has rigged up some
such dusting machine as a closed drum
wth projecting cleats inside, to pick up
the grain and powder as the drum re
volves and let them fall back again
and again to insure that every gram
is completely coated." This is the
recommendation of H. P. Barss of the
Q. A C. Experiment Station, who is
recommending that initial tests with
records of results be made of the new
smut control treatment. The grain
should be revolved slowly enough to
permit it to fall from the sides, and
for about two minutes for each batch.
The proper mixture is two ounces
high grade copper carbonate powder
' to one bushel of clean wheat.

MEANING OF THE WORD VEAL
Department of Agriculture Frequently
Called Upon to Decide Between
Veal and Beef
There seems to be a marked varia
tion of opinion as to what is meant by
the word veal. Ordinarily, when on
hears the word uttered, lie thinks ot
Jhe carcass or meat of a young bovine.
In most cases this conception of the
meaning of the word veal Is sufficient
and it can be dismissed from the mind
without further consideration; but,
when one is called upon t state just
what constiutes veal, there may be
some difficulty experienced in .deter
mining when a bovine carces3 is or is
not to be regarded as veal. . ."
Departments of .agriculture are
sometimes called upon to decide
whether or not a rather heavy car
cass should be classified as veal or
beef and the decision conforms to the
conclusion of authorities un the sub
ject, which is as follows: .
Calf carcasses weighing Jess than
300 pounds, with comparatively light
colored, fine-grained flesh, are classi
fied as veal.

A WOMAN'S BACK
MISTAKE WITH BEEF CATTLE
. 0
Many Producers Handle Cows in Same
Manner as High Producing
Dairy Animals
The function of beef cattle is to con
vert cheap roughage into a product
that can be utilized by man. Many men
entering the business of beef produc
tion make the vital mistake of hand
ling their beef cows in the same man
ner that a high-producing dairy herd
is managed, and, because, they fail to
realize a profit, condemn the beef busi
ness generally.- The same thing would
happen, however, to the dairy busi
ness if dairy herds wre subjected to
the conditions necessary for profitable
beef production. The- only difference
is that few dairy herds are ever placed
under these conditions.
In managing a herd of beef cattle,
the overhead expense in the form of
labor, equipment and concentrated
feeds must;be kept at a minimum if a
substantial profit is to be realized.

I axes AjOvernor
When a candidate for the high office of governor bases his candidacy on certain
claims and promises as to what he will do if elected, the public is entitled to have his
claims analyzed and examined.
In this campaign, Walter Pierce has gone
about the country melo-dramatically tearing tax ,
bills in two by way of illustrating what he will
do to taxes if elected.
The voter, then, should analyze the tax mat
ter to the extent of becoming informed as to
just what part the governor plays in imposing
or reducing taxes.
In the first place, the voter should know that
the t al levy in Oregon for 1922 is $40,473,906.
This is' a reduction of over $1,500,000 from
last year, .so that it will be seen the high cost of
government following the war is already reced
ing. . - .
Of this 1922 levy of 40 million, over 81 mil
lion was for county, city and school district
purposes, over which the governor could have
no possible control whatever.
Of the remaining 9 million for state purposes,
only zy2 million are taxes over which the legis
lature has any discretion,, and of this amount;
only Vi million are for the actual expenses of
state government and might, therefore, in even
the remotest degree, be charged to the methods
employed by the governor in administering the
state's affairs. .
In passing, it should be noted that this state
levy is an increase of 41 per cent, since 1918,
and not several hundred per cent, as stated on
various occasions by the democratic candidate.
It should also be noted that less than half of
this 41 per cent occurred during Mr. Olcott's
administration. This ability to keep down the
cost of the state government to so small an
. increase, when living expenses in the ordinary
home in the same period increased over 100 per
cent, is a most creditable showing. .
MR. PIERCE'S TAX RECORD
It is proper at this point to examine Mr.
Pierce's own record on taxes and see if past
actions as a legislator square with his words.
Of the $3,376,289 of state taxes for 1922,
which include the millage taxes, MR. PIERCE
SPECIFICALLY HAS APPROVED OF
$8,564,039, or 92 p'er cent. He had no chance
at most of the other 8 per cent
- Of the 1922 state taxes, Fierce introduced
bills accounting for $1,429,126, or 15 per cent
In addition to this, he voted for tax bills
introduced by others to the amount of $6,114,-
109, and he has given his public approval on
numberless occasions of measures passed since
he was returned from the legislature causing
taxes amounting to $1,020,804, making a total .
of state taxes approved by Pierce of $8,564,038,
or 92 per cent of the total 1922. There is no
telling how much of the remainder he might
have approved if he had had a chance, and it
may be significant that the state taxes have
decreased over 11 per cent since Mr. Pierce was
retired from the State Senate.
Mr. Pierce has always been a consistent tax
booster. He voted against only three per cent
of 'all the appropriations of the 1919 session of
the legislature and voted for all the appropria
tions of the 1920 special session.
In 1917 Mr. Pierce introduced a bill to exempt
money, notes, mortgages and accounts from
taxation. Yet he poses as - being anxious to
take the burden off real estate!
He voted for submission of $400,000 bond
issue to build a new penitentiary.
, Mr. Olcott, at no TAX expense and with
prison labor, has fixed up the old penitentiary
in excellent shape for another 25 years. -
Mr. Pierce voted against accepting road ma
chinery from the' government That machinery
now amounts in value to $1,800,000.
GOVERNOR OLCOTT'S RECORD
The above are but a few of the extravagances
of Pierce. Mr. Olcott, on the other hand, has
conducted the business of the state in an eco
nomical, sane and business-like manner. He
has saved the state thousands of dollars because
of his level-headedness and his intimate knowl
edge of state affairs. He built a new Boys'
Industrial School Building by diversion of a
millage fund, and therefore, without a single
cent additional tax. He has insisted upon devel
opment of the various state farms connected
with the state institutions until the present year
shows the unprecedented income from this
source of $491,511. He is no talker, no politi
cian, no idle promiser and is not seeking re-election
under false pretenses nor catering to preju-
dice, but is going to the people' on his own
splendid record, confident that if he can but get
that record and Mr. Pierce's record before the
voters of Oregon that he will be vindicated on
