HOW AND WHAT TO GROW
IN GARDEN, IS PROBLEM
Plans for Cropping Land Continuously
to be Brought Out in Short
Course at O. A. C.
Plans for continuous cropping of
garden lands in parts of Oregon, along
with adaptability of different soil types
to vegetables, -will be brought out in
the llw eeks' short course at O. A, C,
beginning January 28. Community pro
duction of particular vegetables in car
lots cabbage broccoli, onions, celery,
lettuce, melons to put them into con
sumers' hands at less cost, will get
much attention.
"No little attention will bo given to
means and methods of marketing vege
table crops to better advantage," pays
A. G. Bouquot, in charge of the work.
Harvesting, grading, packing and
selling will cover the perishable vege
tabel crops.
Growing all kinds of vegetable seed-j
lings under glass for field setting, and
growing such crops as tomatoes and
cucumbers to maturity under glass,
will be gone into. Storage equip
ment and best conditions for keeping
vegetable will be presented.
Use of fertilizers and irrigation for
quality produce will be explained, as
well as the comparative value of varie
ties of each vegetable and seed strains
of those varieties.
BALANCE THE FEED
BY USE OF ALFALFA
"THE LITTLE DAIRY COW"
ENTITLED TO BEST HELP
Oregon dairy cows have done their
part better than those of any other
state, but Oregon butter used to be the
bunk for quality. . That was not "the
little mortgage lifter's" fault, and the
better class of Oregon dairymen insist
that she be given the best and wisest
help possible in boosting for Oregon.
So lots of improvement has been made
lately in the quality of butter, and
there is no good reason why it should
not be brought up to the high rank of
Oregon cheese.
Care of the cream is the start for
high grade butter. This means prac
tical as well as general cleanliness,
pasteurization of sweet and sour cream,
ripening the cream, use of starters and
churning. Milk and cream testing,
moisture of butter salt and fat deter
mination, need be 'understood. Those
are all taught by instruction and lab
oratory practice in the big commercial
creamery at O. A. C, in the short
course, January 2-27.
Cheese making and ice cream mak
ing, along with refrigeration and gen
eral creamery management, will also
be given the once-over.
GOOD FARM MANAGEMENT
ESSENTIAL T.O SUCCESS
If the roughage which you are feed
ing consists of such feeds as grain or
grass hays, corn or grain silage or
roots, so it is low in protein, it will pay
you well to buy such high protein feeds
as linseed oil meal or soybean meal
to balance your ration.. In a feeding
test which was carried on last winter
on a farm- where the "herd Nwas feed at
least as well as the average, the owner
was able to Increase his net profit $2
per cow per month by adding linseed
meal and soybean meal to balance the
ration. .
If the roughage which you have on
hand is not sufficient to last you thru
the winter, so that you will have to
buy alfalfa hay In the spring, you might
well buy the alfalfa now and feed it
with the roughages which you are feed
ing, so as to raise the protein content
of your roughage and allow for the
purchase of less high protein concen
trate for your grain ration. Digestible
nutrients are fairly cheap in alfalfa
compared to most other feeds on the
market. In alfalfa at $20 per ton, a
hundredweight of digestible nutrients
costs 1.92. In corn at $40 per ton a
hundredweight of digestible nutrients
costs $2.33. In mill run at $34 per ton,
a hundredweight of digestible nutri
ents costs $2.79.
If good alfalfa is chopped a cow can
consume considerable more than if it
is not chopped and so be able to secure
in alfalfa a good portion of the protein
which she needs. However, it is better
not to buy the alfalfa ground, but to
grind it yourself, in order to avoid adul
terants and a poor grade of alfalfa.
The average 1000-pound cow which
is getting 10 pounds of alfalfa hay
daily will also eat about 15 pounds of
oat hay or its equivalent, such as five
pounds of oat hay and 30 pounds of
corn silage. If she is in good condi
tion and it not giving more than 10
pounds of 4 per cent milk per day
she does not need any concentrates.
If she is giving from 15 to 25 pounds
daily of 4 per cent milk one pound of
corn for each six pounds of milk would
be a good grain ration at tre present
prices. If she is giving around 40
pounds of 4 per cent milk daily a good
concentrate mixture would be six parts
of corn to one part of linseed oil meal
or soybean meal fed one pound of the
mixture to four pounds of milk.
MANUFACTURERS NOW USING
APPLES TO THE LAST SEED.
Some do and some don't make
make money from farming.
Some factors are not heyond the
farmer's control, and some he can set
for himself. It is important to Oregon,
as well as to the former that he under
stand as well as possible the best use
of agricultural resources. For the
farmers who cannot take a full degree
course in agriculture, a special winter
course has been arranged at the state
college, January 2 to March 17.
Selecting and growing the most prof
itable farm crops for grain, forage and
special purposes, and feeding and man
aging the farm stock, cattle, horses,
sheep and hogs and giving the right
. relation to those industries by scien
tific farm management are taught by
instruction, training and experience.
Inquiry of the college registrar, Cor
vallis will tell you how to Join.
The thoroughness with which the ap
ple is now worked over and utilized by
some manufacturers makes it compar
able with the packing-house pig that
leaves only a futile squeal. The apple
is not transformed into such a variety
of products as the pig, but all are use
ful, and when the last of the series
has been made hardly a smell is left.
In many of the apple-using factories
the apples are first pressed to produce
cider, which may be sold as such or
may be manufactured into vinegar,
After thorough pessing the pomace is
treated with hot water to remove the
peetin . wmcn, arter purirication, is
sold in either liquid or solid form to
manufacturers of jellies and similar
products and to housewives. The much
wasted and squeezed residue is dried.
ground, and sold as cattle feed.
Bad Orchards Spread Pests
"No progressive orchardist should
stand for the neglect of orchard- trees
adjacent to his property, which will re
sult in the development of diseaess and
pests which will spread to his own
trees," asserts H. P. Barss, plant path
ologist at the Oregon Experiment Sta
tion. "Such pests and diseases make
the problem of producing clean fruit
and healthy trees more difficult.
"The state horticultural law provides
the method by which such cases can
be handled. Appeal to your county
fruit inspector or to the State Board of
Horticulture, who have the enforce
ment of the law in charge. Roep after
theni Until the offending property is
cleaned up."
Pest Controi Panaceas Risky
Three types of insect and disease
pest remedies are often hawked about
Oregon f arms, endangering real con
trol, says H. P. Barss, plant patholo
gist of the experiment station. One
type of these fake panaceas is merely
harmless, having power neither for
good or bad; one is actually dangerous
to the crops it is said to protect, and
the third is largely ineffective because
the remedy is not in suitable form for
the designated use, and is high priced.
Steps were taken at the annual meet
ing of the state horticultural society to
have legislation enacted to stop the
practice. j
Plans for making the standard
grades and packs of fruit and , vege
tables and their products uniform in
the three northwestern states, are un
der consideration by the Oregon State
Horticultural Society. It is thought
that this can best be effected by plac
ing the matter of enforcement in the
hands of the state board of horticul
ture.
'Listen for the singing hen," advises
P. E. Pox of the Oregon Experiment
Station. "If you haven't any in your
flock, the chances are that you are
getting very few eggs. Change the
conditions of food and care, if neces
sary, to bring this about."
A palatable wet mash will bring pul
lets into production when they are slow
to lay. It is advisable to feed it in
such a manner that the activity of the
bird will not be interfered with during
the day. A hungry hen is a working
hen.
Placing. the roosters in the breeding
pens this month is advisaole in order
that they may become accustomed to
their sunoundings and acquainted with
the balance of the- flock before eggs
are saved for hatching.
Poultry Co-op, Prospers.
The Pacific Co-operative Poultry pro
ducers are now admitting new mem
bers, reports E. J. Dixon, manager.
Prices that are generally satisfactory
to growers are also being returned,
the manager says. This is one of the
"big six" co-operative bodies that rep
resent eight thousand Oregon farmers
who sold more than $7,000,000 worth of
farm products co-operatively in 1921.
Draughty houses and damp poultry
litter are to Je guarded against, par
ticularly at this season of the year.
IRRIGATING VEGETABLES
GIVES DOUBLE CROPPING
Two vegetable crops 'a season and
use of cover crops to maintain soils In
physical and fertility conditions, are
advantages of irrigating the vegetable
garden, as practiced by Chase & Sons,
Eugene. Oats and vetch or winter bar
ley are good cover crops, they find.
"If you have water you have a crop,
if you don't sometimes you won't," says
E. B. Chase. "Irrigation is part of the
good farm practice that aids in control
of aphis and other crop pests."
Quality and size are improved by
water at the right time. It will enable
the growing of one crop at least not in
competition with general growers, In
suring a good market. Irrigation crops
hit the market both earlier and later
than unwatered crops.

The Festival Cake.
The festival cake, or the Spanish
Torta, as it is made in Spain is truly
royal, and is the seme of delicious-
ness for the holiday season. Here is
the receipe:
One-half pound of pineapple glace,
V pound of blanched shreaded al
monds, yt pound of citron, pound of
pistachio nuts, pound of fresh coco
nut, pound of cherries 1 pound of
sugar, 1 pound or butter, 1 pound, of
flour, 4 teaspoonfuls of baking powder,
the whites of 3 eggs, 2 gills of grape
juice, or apple juice teaspoonful of
almond extract, teaspoonful of rose
extract, the juice of 1 lime, tea
spoonful of salt.
Put the fruits and nuts through the
food-chopper and dredge them with
pound of flour. Cream the butter
and sugar, add the fruit juice and fla
voring and, lastly, the whites of the
eggs beaten to a dry froth with the
salt. Add to the chopped fruits and
nuts dredged with flour. Sift 4 tea-
spoonfuls of baking powder with a part
of the remaining flour and add during
the mixing of all the ingredients. Bake
in a moderate oven.
Where there are children the Christ
mas stocking should never be forgot
ten. Nothing can take the place of 'it,
for nothing else arouses quite so much
speculation and pleasurable anticipa
tion as what Santa Clans will put into
that homely article.
The general distribution of gifts may
well take place after breakfast is out
of the way; 'but no child can be ex
pected to wait very long for the "feel"
of something Santa has left. . If all his
gifts are given immediately on waking
excitement will run high, and dressing
and 'breakfast will be gone through
with great difficulty. Also, a consider
able quantity of candy and nuts will
have vanished before the morning meal
is served, and with them will have dis
appeared all signs of an appetite.
As a means of avoiding these condi
tions the Christmas stocking serves a
good purpose. Carefully filled, it will
satisfy the child's longing for "Christ
mas the first thing in the morning "
will give him a taste of Christmas
goodies without distroying his appe
tite for breakfast, and will leave suffi
cient expectancy concerning , the other
things coming so that he will readily
submit to being properly bathed and
dressed. .
An orange for the toe of the stock
ing, some especially-desired toy which
will prove of untold' interest, some ar
ticle of dress in which he can "parade
around," a handful of pop-corn, a small
box of animal crackers and a stick or
cane of pure sugar candy should make
a stocking sufficiently bulging to please
any child. All the food it- contains can
be consumed without continual warn
ings of "Don't eat too much now," or
"Better save the rest until after break
fast." The toy and the one other gift
will hold the child's interest until every
one is assembled for the big distribu
tion, which need not be hurried.
