SPUD DEMAND IS
SOMEWHAT BETTER
There is a slightly better demand
for potatoes, but no improvement is
showing in the price. There are
fewer arrivals, owing to the bad con
ditions of the roads, making it almost
impossible for many growers to mar
ket their stock at this time.
There is no shortage in offerings,
but the demand is better because
nearby growers are no longer supply
ing the bulk of the retail trade di
rect. A small movement in the potato
trade is still showing with Califor
nia, but the call is not pronounced
enough to force any change in the
price. In fact, as soon as the roads
are good enough for growers to of
fer their stock generally, the market
will again be overfed: This is the
reason why buyers are not forced to
offer above the former price. Grow
ers are very glad to let go, and the
only thing that kept the movement
down previously was the lack of de
mand even at prevailing low prices.
Prevailing Oregon City prices are as
follows:

SAVE THE FODDER
Although it is too late In the season
to consider doing anything with the
corn for ensilage purposes we should
not overlook the fact that to save the
fodder which we. have already cut is
not only our duty but is very impor
tant from the standpoint of having
sufficient feed for our livestock dur
ing the winter months.
Of the many ways to save the .corn
crop the use of the silo Is perhaps the
best, and yet only a few of the farmers
in the corn belt have taken advantage
of this means of saving the corn crop
this season and we should begin
right now to investigate the silo
problem so that we can erect
one next year. The silo not only
saves 30 to 40 per cent of the corn's
nutrition that would otherwise be
lost, but it affords a green and suffi
cient feed during the winter months.
Crop reports sent out by the govern
ment show that the farm value of
hay as quoted October 1st, is some
what less than it was October 1st,
1911, but yet it is higher by a con
siderable amount than usual. In other
words this indicates1 that the amount
of rough feed available throughout
the country is. less than normal and
for this reason we should put forth
extra efforts to save all the fodder and
other rough feed we have as it will
come in mighty handy before spring.
When we consider the increased farm
value of hay and the fact that if
fodder is left standing in the field
from 25 to 40 per cent of its feeding
value is lost we will realize how im
portant It is to form our plans now to
save this fodder in the best possible
shape.
Perhaps you have not done so, but
you have seen ypur neighbors leave
the corn fodder in the fields during
the winter months and haul it in day
after day as it was required. This is
bad practice, to say the least, and we
hope that no reader of the Service
Bureau will be found guilty of this
practice this season. Late fall rains
coupled with occasional sleet or snow
storms not only waste a considerable
amount of the fodder but make it
extremely difficult to handle if left in
the field. Fodder left exposed in this
manner loses its feeding value through
the loss of protein caused by the
action of the elements and by the
wasting of leaves due to handling.
The next best practice is to stack
the fodder as soon as the corn is
picked. It is a good idea to locate
tho stack somewhere convenient to
the feeding rack or on the south side
of a grove where the fodder can be
led during the cold winter mornings
by scattering it on the ground where
the animals will be protected from
the cold northwest winds.
This brings us to the subject of
shredding fodder, which is the most
important and by far the best way of
saving a fodder crop. The husker and
shredder new in common use cuts the
stalks in longitudinal sections, into
small bits -hich puts it in a much
more palatable form. It has been
found that live stock . will eat much
more of the stalk when shredded than
when fed whole. The machine used
for this purpose will deliver the corn
in a husked condition. The cost of
shredding varies, of course, in differ
ent localities, but figuring the aver
age cost of husking corn and storing
it, the expense of shredding Is prac

tically the came. Then. you will not
only get the corn husked and stored
but you will have your fodder In a
ronvienient form for storing and feed
ing. It is a good plan to store the
shredded fodder in the hay mow or in
some place where it can be. covered.
If it is impossible for you to do this,
stack the shredded fodder close to
where you intend to feed it. This
will not only .save labor, but will re
duce losses in handling and hauling
the shredded fodder. Another advan
tage of shredding the fodder which is
often overlooked is the convenience
in handling the stable manure. It is
perhaps unnecessary to call the Corn
Belt farmers' attention to this fact.
Let us 'plan right now to at least
stack our fodder and If possible use a
shredder.
TURKEY SUBMITS TO
WILL OF POWERS
CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 22. Tur
key submitted today to the will of
the powers. The grand council of the
Ottoman Empire, decided in favor of
accepting the proposals of Europe for
a peace settlement between Turkey
and the Balkan allies.
As officially announced, the grand
council approved the governments
point of view, declaring its confidence
in the sentiments of equity voiced by
the great powers and expressed the
wish to see the promises and propos
ed assistance effectually realized.
It also asked the government "to
exert all its efforts to insure in the
future the safety of the country "and
the development of its economic in
terests. "
The question submitted today by the
Turkish government to the grand
council was: "Should the recommen
dations contained in the note of the
European powers be accepted or re
jected?" The government frankly confessed
itself in favor of agreeing to the
suggestion made by the powers.

Parsee Burial Customs.
A Bombay correspondent, writing of
the burial customs of the Parsees,
says: "The approach of that transition
we call death is a signal for the"rela
tives to leave the presence of the dying
one, the priest alone remaining to
whisper Zend-Avesta precepts into his
ear. He in turn passes out of the room
and admits a dog. who is trained to
gaze steadily into tbe face of the dying
one. A dog is accounted the only liv
ing creature that can terrorize the evil
spirits, so the "sas-did. or "dog stare. is
the last sight tbe Parsee has on earth.
No human shadow must intervene; oth
erwise the guardian virtue of tbe dog's
gaze is annulled."

IMPROVING THE TIME."
Hundreds of thousands of dollars are
being spent in the effort to find one
sixteenth of a second that is missing
in tbe calculations of the world's as
tronomers.
A special building fitted with appa
ratus was erected- because in tbe hour
glass of time one small grain of sand
was missing;
Tile fracfion must be found.
Because tbe world's longitude Is cat
ciliated ou the sun's time as recorded
nt Greenwich and Paris and Washing

count for every atom of time.
If not?
If not every meridian line on earth
would need to be shifted, every bound
nry line between countries and states
changed atid every map of the world
made over.
And the movements of the. planets
would be variant!
Do you see the tremendous Import
of an instant of time? Time Is now!
All tbere is of time or ever will be is
comprehended in that now. The past

Therefore:

We cannot turn back the dial, neither
make tbe sun stand still. We cannot
measure the value of the time we have

The present is potential.
He who best improves what he has

He is too busy for regrets over tbe
