Oregon Agricultural College Demon
strates Success "With Which Hogs
Can Be Raised on This
Kind of Pasture.
CORVALLIS, Or, July 7. (Special.) A
profit of $27.51 an acre for pasturage on
alfalfa for three months has been proved
to be a possibility by an experiment on
the college farm. There will remain yet
during the season three or four months
more of pasturage on the same Alfalfa
field, and Dr. Withycombe, who Is direct
ing the experiment. Is confident that
more than t50 an acre will be realized
from pasturage of the field during the
Bummer. The showing is considered to
be of great value in that it is believed
an almost equally favorable demonstra
tion can be made on clover, rape or
vetch. The results are of striking value
in illustrating the possibilities of Western
Oregon in the field, as the profit to be
gained by the plan is more tier acre than
lands on which it can be done sometimes
ell for.
In the experiment hogs were used.
Thirty-two of the animals were put on
a two-acre field of alfalfa April 1. All
but five of the pigs were picked up in
the open market, 'and were of ordinary
grade as to breeding. Up to July 1 they
had made a net gain of 1630 pounds. Be
sides alfalfa, they had consumed during
the three months' period 11,850 pounds of
skim milk, and 1420 pounds of chopped
wheat. For the skim milk, which was
produced on the college farm, 25 cents
per 100 pounds was allowed, aggregating
$29.62. For the chopped wheat, also
grown on the farm, 1 cents per pound
was allowed, aggregating $21.30, making
the total crfst of food, aside from alfalfa
pasturage. $50.92. At cents live weight,
the present market price of hogs, the
value of the increase in weight Is $106.95,
leaving a net balance for th alfalfa pas
turage of $55.03, or $27.51 per acre.
Meantime the large profit obtained
from the alfalfa pasturage, together with
that, yet to be realized during the next
four months in which the pigs will re
main on the field, is not the only profit
in the demonstration. In addition, the
Bklm milk produced on the farm went
at 25 cents per 100 pounds, and did not
have to be hauled off the premises. The
wheat the pigs consumed brought 90
cents a bushel, Instead of the 50 cents
that has been the market price until re
cently. Above and beyond all, however, is the
process of restoration of the land to its
originality by the growing of leguminous
crops and the presence of livestock on
the field with its fertilizing influence.
The alfalfa field used has never had a
pound of commercial fertilizer on" It, is
ordinary wheat ground on the upland,
and has been subjected to no treat
ment that is not easily possible on any
Western Oregon farm.
WHEAT HARVESTING BEGUN
Southern Washington Crops Will Be
Large This Year.
KIOXA, Wash.. July 7. (Special.) The
harvest is almost ready to begin in this
section of Benton County. In the Iowa
ettlement on Rattlesnake Mountain,
about nine miles from Kiona, the grain is
ripe and harvesting will begin Monday.
In fact C. H. Corbitt, who has about 400
acres In wheat, has his header already at
work. On the south side of the mountain
the grain Is not quite so far advanced,
but work will begin probably within a
week. The yield, it is estimated,- will
run from 15 to 25 bushels to the acre.
In Horse Heaven harvesting will com
mence about the 20th of July. Prospects
there are good. I C. Rolph, who has
been a Horse Heaven wheat grower for
many years, says that it is difficult to
estimate the average yield per acre, as
there is a larsre acreage of volunteer
wheat which will not yield heavily. The
growers are counting on about 16 bushels
an acre, but some fields will yield nearly
twice that amount.- It is now believed
SWIFT PACKrNG COMPANY DREDGE
that even if hot winds come the wheat is
too far along to be injured. The wheat
farmers in this locality have been hiring
help for several weeks whenever it of
fered itself, and most of them now have
full crews engaged for the harvest.
Wages are gpod, running from $2 to $4
per day.
Klona celebrated July Fourth, being the
only town within a large radius to
observe the day with a public celebra
tion. A good programme was carried out.
Judge B. S. Groscup, of Tacoma, who has
large property interests near Klona, was
orator of the day. About 50 people came
down from Prosser and a large number
from other towns and the Horse Heaven
and Rattlesnake country. '
The Seattle Grain Company will put in
a warehouse here at once, with U. S.
Dickey as manager. This will be the
third grain-buying firm to be represented

Grain Crops In Columbia County
About Ready to Harvest.
DAYTON, Wash., July 7. (Special.)
The prospects for fine crops in Co
lumbia County are now looking much
better than was expected on account
of cold weather, and the yield wlll be
about the same as preceding years.
Fall sown wheat will yield from 80 to
40 bushels to the acre and will be
ready for harvesting by the last of
July. Spring wheat is very late ana
at present It is hard to predict any
thing about the crop. Harvesting will
commence about the usual time, July
20. The Spring grain, which is nearly
all barley, varies greatly, and is short
and thin, but with exceedingly well
filled beads. The yield will be "between
30 and 40 bushels to the acre, and on
Summer fallowed ground it will yield
between 50 and 60 bushels to the acre.
With the straw so short harvesting
will be made much cheaper and the
grain will be easier to handle.
Owing to the scarcity of labor a
large number of- farmers have, this
year, purchesed combined harvesers,
with which five men can do the work
that would by the other method take
a force of 20. More horses, however,
will have to be used. Wages this year
will be about the came as last, when
a raise was made, $2.50 to $5.00 per day.
LUMBER TRADE WILL PICK UP
Manager of Aberdeen Mill Believes
Situation Will Improve.
ABERDEEN, Wash., July 7. Special.)
W. B. Mack, manager of the big Slade
Mills, is more optimistic than most of the
mlllmen as to the future of the lumber
market. Although the Slade Mill is run
ning about half a crew and other mills
likewise, he says that he does not ex
pect a general shutdown, and that an
improvement in conditions within the
next. 60 days will be noted.
As to foreign trade, Mr. Mack eays he
does not think it amounts to more than
6 per cent of the entire output on Gray's
Harbor, and that the mlllmen are not
looking to It for any prospective relief.
Gray's Harbor has been a pretty big
seller for some time and a falling off
was to be expected, especially as the
many new mills have added largely to
the output.

Syndicate Will Develop Valuable
Southern Oregon Property,
ROSEBURG, Or., July 7. (Special.)
About 80 acres of land lying eight
miles south of Roseburg, known to
contain a valuable, deposit of lime
stone, was today sold to a syndicate
composed of Mr. Riedel, of Portland;
Mr. Moore, of Ogden, and C W. Nibley,
of the Oregon Short Line. It is the
announced intention of the company
to develop the property, and to this
end hundreds of laborers will be em

This property was developed some
years ago sufficiently to test its merits
and its opening up at this time means

MILLS OF LINN COUNTY TURN
OUT MUCH LUMBER.
All Sem Prosperous and Number of
Plants Is Constantly on the
Increase. "
ALBANY, Or.. July 7. (Special.) There
are now 31 sawmills in Linn County.
One-third of them were established in
the past year and at least one-half were
placed in operation in the past two
years. All are reported to be successful
industries.
Most of these plants are small and are
operated principally tor local demand
for lumber. But a great many of them,
even those not located in towns, now
manufacture for export, having in
creased the size of the plants since their
establishment.
Practically all of the mills are located
right in the timber, with plenty of ma
terial available. This makes it neces
sary to haul the finished product some
distance to railroads. The newer plants
are being located in the towns of the
county, where transportation facilities
are better and where arrangements can
be made for floating In logs.
Thirteen of the Linn County mills are
along the South Santiam River and its
tributaries, nine being In the country
tributary to Lebanon, ne at Sweet
Home, one at Foster, one at Cascadia
and one between Foster and Cascadia.
There are nine mil!" In the "forks of
the Santlam," not including some of those
which are more directly tributary to the
South Santiam. These are tributary to
Scio. Crabtree, Lacorab and Shelburn.
Seven mills are in the country centering
at Brownsville, three of them being near
Crawfordsville and two near Holley.
There Is one mill at Peoria. Though all
of the mills of the county have their
outlet through Albany, this city has no
sawmill in operation. Work on Wie big
Wheeler mill is progressing rapidly, how
ever, and the plant will begin work
next Fall.
After being closed three weeks on ac
count of lack of cars,- the Scroggins saw
mill, at Lebanon, will resume operation
Monday. A big float of logs, brought
down the South Santiam to Cheadle
Falls and thence to Lebanon by the Leb
anon Canal, has been received at the
Scroggins mill.

Mayor, of a beautiful silver medal to D.
P. Smith, a citizen of Little Falls. This
medal, with certificate of award from the
United States Volunteer Life Saving Corps
of New York, was presented to Mr. Smith
for the timely rescue from drowning of
O. T. Cook, who was accidentally swept
by high " water over a dam in Olequa
creek, December 6, 1906, and badly in

which recognized Mr. Smith's bravery.
The medal is suitably engraved, and is
highly appreciated by the recipient.

FRUITGROWERS ENCOURAGED
Fine Cherry Crop and Good Prices
Bring Prosperity.
ALBANY, Or., June 30. (Special.)
Five tons of Royal Ann cherries were
grown this season on a two-acre orchard
owned by Cyrus H. Walker, near this
city. Walker has contracted to sell the
entire crop at 5 cents per pound,
realizing an income of $500 on the two
acres. This is but one Instance of the
remarkably large cherry yield in this
vicinity and ' the exportation of cherries
now In progress from Albany will mean
quite an item financially for this city.
In past years, the two acres of Royal
Ann trees in the Walker orohard have
yielded about two tons annually. This
has made the trees very profitable, but
a yield of five tons, with the present
price, makes cherrygrowing a most no
ticeable profit-yielding industry.
A great many cherries are being
shipped from Albany now. The Royal
Ann variety are being sent to the can
neries at Salem and Puyallup, Wash.,
while Royal Ann, Kentish and lng
cherries are being sent direct to the
Portland, Seattle and Astoria markets.
A good many cherries are being shipped
from this city to the various points
along the Corvallls ' & Eastern Railroad.
Black Republican cherries are Just now
beginning to get ripe, and will soon be
marketed with the other varieties. Royal
Ann cherries are bringing 5 cents per
pound everywhere, and the other varie
ties 4 cents.
All cherries yielded bountifully this
year in this part of the state.. There
are only five or six commercial cherry
orchards In thlB vicinity, but every farm
house has its orchard and almost every
yard in Albany its Kentish or v Black
Republican tree. The demand for cher
ries has also been stronger this year
than ever before and all cherries fit for
marketing will be sold. The yield and
demand this season have demonstrated
the feasibility of the commercial grow
ing of cherries in this vicinity and this
year's experience will probably lead to
greater things here in this Industry.
