Farm Reminders
Mixing wood ashes or any form of
hydrated lime with poultry droppings
is not advisable as it liberates the
plant food, nitrogen, in the form of
ammonia, which is lost. The best pro
cedure is to add superphosphate which
prevents the loss of ammonia and in
addition increases the phosphorous
content of the droppings. Wfiere su
perphospate is not available land plas
ter can be used to prevent the loss of
ammonia.
Manure containing shavings is not
as good as manure containnig straw,
as the shavings break down very slow
ly in the soil. This is especially true
where the shavings contain pitchy ma
terials which resist decay. Where
shavings are used for litter, smaller
quantities of this type of manure
. should be used than in the case of
straw litter. This is particularly true
.when the manure is used only on san
dy soils.
Oregon Panetta K of the Oregon Ag

in their class. ,
SHORT COURSES LISTED

the work on the farm is least press-j
ing.

that the applicant must be at least 18
years of age, and must have completed
the eighth grade of the public schools,
or, by practical experience, have ac
quired the ability to carry the work
successfully.
Courses offered are as follows:
Tractor mechanics, January 2 to
March 17, 1923; General Agriculture,
January 2 to March 17; Horticulture,
January 2 to March 17; Dairy Herds
man's cojrse, January 2 to June 10;

WET LANDS NEED DRAINAGE

tioii, even though the crowd had as
semble . The birds in the latter In
stance were not in condition to be
culled intelligently because they had
been negleced. Mr. Crosby points out
that successful culling depends upon
successful management of the flock
during the preceding season and that
accuracy in culling bears a close rela
tion to the kind of care the flock has
received. The records of a cow test
ing association mean very little un
less the cows on test have been prop
erly fed and have been given a chance
to produce. Culling poultry when they
have been poorly fed, housed and
managed, is beginning at the wrong
and of successful poultry management.
That it is possible to cull accurately
was recently demonstrated by Mr.
Crosby on the farm of Mr. and Mrs. W.
H. Thompson, in the Canby community
in Clackamas County. The birds culled
out were -shown by trap-nest records
to be low producers without exception,
the best hen thrown out haying laid
only 137 eggs the past year. "

Really One of Oldest Methods
Crops for This Purpose Were
Used by Ancients.
Green manuring plowing under
green crops as a means of soil im
provement, although It has been em
phasized in recent years, can hardly
be called a new discovery, says the
United States Department of Agricul
ture. . It is really one of the oldest
methods. Crops for this purpose were
used by the ancients, the Romans us
ing lupines, which were sown in Sep
tember and turned under in May for
the benefit of the following crop.
In Germany the use of lupines be
gan in the middle of the Nineteenth
century and has proved an important
factor in reclaiming the sandy lands
of parts of Prussia. In England
legumes and other plants are com
monly used; in India and Japan the
farmers gather green plants of many
kinds, .sometimes even cutting twigs
from the trees and carrying them to
the rice fields.
In the United States the use of
special green-manure crops is much
more general in the South than In the
North. Under irrigation they play an

Now that the winter rains have set
in, drainage of wet lands in Oregon is
a question of the hour, says F. B. Price,!
extension specialist in soils at O. A. C.
Each year more underground drain
age systems are installed. You don't
have to wait until finances permit til
ing wet lands to do drainage work;
Clean out the drains so that they can
help drainage. Clean out the old
ditches that were constructed to take
care of the water after these heavy
rains.
In some districts a plow and steel-V-ditcher
may still be used to open up
surface drains. Frequently an hour
or two with a shovel and plow will
connect up dead furrows and other de
pressions so all surface water can es
cape freely. It is such practices that
will save much of the large winter crop
acreage of wet areas from drowning
out this winter.
Free outlets must be provided for
the many tile drainage systems that
have been installed. Now is the time
to inspect these outlets and let the tile
work to capacity,

Tomato Soup.
Seven quarts of ripe tomatoes, 7 stalks
of celery, 7 stalks of parsley (this may
be omitted), 4 stalks of bay leaves, 10
whole cloves, 4 onions (leeks are bet
ter if one has them), pound of but
ter, 6 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon black
pepper, cup sugar, 1 .cup flour.
Cook the tomatoes, celery, parsley,
bay leaves, cloves and onions together
till all are tender, melt the butter and
blend with the flour, add the pepper
and sugar, put with the pulp, cook a
few minutes and seal. When ready to
use take as much of the tomato as you
wish, add a pinch of soda and after it
foams add an equal amount of milk.
It is better to heat the two in separate
pans. This is excellent.

FOR YOU AND UNCLE SAM
Oregon horticulturists are not quib
bling as to which ia more important,
growing or marketing their fruit, nuts
and vegetables, but planning to take
them both up at their annual conven
tion at Corvallis, November 23-25.
"Just so the grower can make more
money and surer money, it makes lit
tle difference to his income whether it
is by cutting down the cost of produc
tion or by selling with less expense of
handling, commission, hauling, stor
age and speculation," is the way. the
officers regard the problem.
So they are going to get the best
growers and scientists and dealers to
meet with them at the convention and
try to unravel the tangled threads of
getting good stuff cheaply and putting
it before the consumer economically.
This involves study of the land and
plant, and the handling and selling
agencies, warehouses, factories, cold
storage and shipping.
All these subjects will be considered
by the best informed men to be bad.
Some results of science at work will
be seen in the hort. show.
The program is the biggest ever put
on by the society, which is in its 33rd
year.
Give The Hen a Chance
The practice of poultry culling is
rapidly becoming established as a

This is a grand old world, -With
all its trials and woes;
Sweet happy hours for me
When I wore my boy-hood clothes;
For many a weary year
Was the pride of dad and mam,
Now I wonder what they'll say
Since I'm the pride of Uncle Sam?
When I was a little boy
All at once I understood,
When I was of legal age
And work for them I would;
Some how I've changed my mind,
Since living in this land;
Now I bid you all farewell
And work for Uncle Sam.
'Tis our land of liberty
With its sunny skies so blue;
You are a bright shining star .
America, how I love you;
In pleasure and in sorrow,
You are my own native land;
And I'll sail the briney deep
For you and Uncle Sam.
Long wave o'er land and sea
Stars and stripes for ever more;
God send your gentle dove of peace
To that dark and far off shore;
I'll help bear the daily- cross
For comrades that are slain,
I'll answer when the roll's called
And stand for Uncle Sam.
