This announcement was made at the meet ing held at the club Saturday.. Only a few attended, however, which tends , to show that the Interest in cows is not as great as rhe club believes it should be. Secretary Scott explained the club's plan to those present. He said they wanted to encourage the ranchers to keep cows. The latter declare it is ; very difficult to get them. The club therefore arranged w ith Professor I Kent of the O. A. C. fop shipment of a carload of cows here if they proved i to be in demand. He recommended : i Jerseys and said he could arrange to ship graded stock of this breed. It was stated that there would not be enough cream to warrant the starting of a creamery before there were about 700 cows in the valley. It is estimated that there are now about 400. The club wants to help increase the latter number with a view to the establishment of a creamery. It was proposed that enough cows might be kept In the meantime to warrant the establishment of a route and that the cream could be shipped either to the creamery at The Palles or else to Portland. The club al o proposes to assign in organizing a dairyman's association if there are enough inter ested persons. U. B. CHURCH ADDS MEMBERS Rev. J. D. Parsons o.' the V.

WRONG CULTIVATION MAKES PLOW SOIL Improper cultivation, especially of Irrigated orchards, Is one of the most prolific causes of trouble with trees according to C. U Smith, agricultur ist of the O.-W. It. & N. Company. He says in part: Let me caution you who have this fine basalt soil, "volcanic ash," we sometimes call it. beware of cultivat ing this when It is wet or cultivating twice at the same depth. . Either one of them is likely to cause trouble. I found one fine orchard two years ago making a splendid growth during the month of June, and the leaves turning yellow in July. It was being cultivated every week or ten days, and the man wondered what was the matter with his trees. They had water to Irrigate, but it was expensive. A number of well qualified persons had stated that on such soils properly handled, the orchard did not need irri gation until it tame into bearing, and yet In July he found the leaves turn ing yellow. What was the trouble? I was very much surprised when I went over the orchard where I had found moist dirt only a few days before, when I set the spade In and put my foot on it, to find it would go down only about four Inches. I then cleaned away the loose surface soil, and I found not only that it was all dry, but this crust wa9 dry and hard. I tried to go through it with a spade and could not. Finally I got a piece of a brok en fence post and managed by using that as a mallet, to get a hole through about four and one-half inches of the plow bed that had been made by two successive seasons of drifting and har rowing about two and a half inches deep. This crust was absolutely air tight, none of the moisture from the winter rains had gone through it. The top soil had been moist; the harrow ing and drifting had conserved enough of its moisture to last up until the first of July, and then it was sudden ly gone, and the trees practically iso lated from food and drink. Let us go over that again so we will not forget. First, put your soil in such condition In the fall of the year as will get as much of the sur face as possible In contact with the air and the frost, and also In such shape that It will receive and hold the largest possible amount of mois ture. Then In early spring, before the weather gets liot enough so that there Is any preceptlble loss by evapora tion, get on there with a harrow or cultivator. Let the first cultivation be very shallow. I like to use a spike- toothed harrow set as slanting as possible. I do not want to go down deep, because at th-ee inches I may get into soft slush, which Is not de sirable, but If I run over it with that spike-toothed harrow, I get a dust mulch there and do not pack the lower soil. The next time I would cultivate a little deeper. In summer cultivation, I would not go more than three or four Inches d"ep, especially where you have the fine ash soil. On sandy soil I think that is deep enough, too. And if you are going to irrigate, that is deep enough. I want to say this for irrigation, and I believe It Is the key to the whole thing: Irrigation Is a good thing, the best thing we know anything about, and it is the worst abused and mis used. Cultivate your orchard just ex actly as thoroughly as though you did not have any water to Irrigate it with, and then when it needs irriga tion, irrigate plentlfu'ly.
