10 THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2T, 1920 AUG E STOCK By FEED PROCESS Alfalfa Feeding Alone Proven Fallacious. SILAGE PRODUCTS ASSIST Weight Gains Twice as I tap id and Cost, Greatly Cut, According to Kxpcrimcnt Tests. Feeding practices that produce Cains on young steers twice as rapid ly as feeding alfalfa hay alone, and at about one-half the cost, have been determined by the eastern Oregon branch experiment station at Union. The method, how it is applied, exact results and a store of related informa tion that will enable stockmen to know more nearly under what condi tions of feed and feeder costs, and market price of finished stuff, they can buy range stock to fatten for market at a profit, are explained tr a new station bulletin. "Fattening Steers." Just off the state agricul tural college press. The feeding tests on which the re ports are founded were conducted at the Union branch by Robert "Withy combe, superintendent, in co-operation with 10. L. Potter, head of animal husbandry at the college. Professor Potter outlines the experimental data as follows: Testa Cover Six Tear. "The eastern Oregon experiment station at Union has just closed a six year series of tests in fattening steers which throw a lot of new light on this industry as it is conducted in th alfalfa districts of the west. In the first place It was found that since but few of the cattle being fed in the northwest were weighed in and out and since the few that were weighed were often weighed in shrunk and out full, the stockmen had rather ex aggerated ideas of the gains which could be expected on alfalfa hay alone. "The Union station found that through a long series of tests two-year-old steers on alfalfa alone were fed 37.7 pounds of alfalfa a day and of this they refused 4.9 pounds. On this ration the average daily gain was .88 pound. In determining this "gain the steers were weighed in as nearly as possible the same condition as regards fill at the beginning and at the end of the tests. The steers on alfalfa alone improved in condition while being fed but did not gain as rapidly as was desired and as a rule were not In nearly as good condition at the end of the feeding period as they should have been considering the cost of the feeding. The only chance of a profit was in a rise in the market. The improved condition of the cattle would not normally pay for the feed consumed. Other Methods Tried. This situation led to trying out other methods of feeding which might Increase the gains without being as expensive as full grain feeding. One idea was to supplement the alfalfa with five pounds of rolled barley a day. Another was to save all the barley until the last end of the feeding period and then feed ten pounds a day. Theso tests showed that one pound of rolled barley fed under these conditions made as much beef as three pounds of alfalfa hay. "This did not help the cost any as normally in the cattle districts one pound of rolled barley costs more than three pounds of hay. The gains were 30 per cent greater when the grain was fed. but at that were not good enough to make the steers in eood marketable condition with 100 to 120 days feeding. "At the same time some tests were made with chopping the alfalfa. In these it was found that the improve ment in the value of hay resulting from the chopping was 28 per cent when the alfalfa was fed alone, 14 per cent when fed with grain and 7 per cent when fed with silage. The cost of chopping was about $3 a ton. "As compared with feeding long hay alone the chopping was some ad vantage, but when fed with grain or silage the improvement in feeding value did not pay the cost. Varied Combinations Used. "Then silage and hay was tried The results in. this case were remark able. The hay and silage cattle made twice the gains that were made on hay alone. To be more exact the steers ate 23.5 pounds of hay and 25.5 pounds of silage and gained 1.93 pounds daily. "The silage used was of fair qual ity. Some was corn that had been frosted and some was peas and bald Parley. A little was alfalfa silage. Jt all gave good results. Not only did the steers show a big gafti over the scales, but they showed a far bet ter condition than had been the case In the previous feeding. "The cost of producing one ton silage was estimated as the same one half ton of alfalfa. On this basis the cost of feeding the steers per day was the same with the two method since, for every pound of silage they ate. they ate one-half pound less hay. "The cattle shipped very well and dressed out well, although not as well as if they had had a full grain ration. The cost of making the gains by this method was approximately one half that of any other method tried. "The amount of silage in different tests varied from 15 to 30 pounds and with good results in all cases so that It is not yet proven that the amount of silage within these limits makes any difference. Of course it will be understood that when less silage was fed, more alfalfa was eaten. Thirty pounds of silage Is about all a two-year-old steer will eat when he has all the good alfalfa he wants. Of course on poor hay he will eat more silage. "Qn the whole the results on the silage were so good that we feel safe in saying that in a very few years j feeding on alfalfa alone will e a thing of the past" bis time. However, up until Bummer this ear they had Increased almost double over ast year. The greatest activity has been it the construction of low-Drlced dwellings. factories and garages. Labor Cost of labor has Increased 10 to per cent over 1919. Productivity has ncreaied In some trades, while in manu- acturing establishments It has slightly ln- rcased. owing to better selection ot sKlliea workmen and restoration of plants to pri- ate ownership. There is a slight short age in skilled building trades, but common ador is plentiful. No evidence or unem ployment exists at this time. General business Wholesalers and re tailers expect good business this fall and winter after crops are moved, but are buy- cauttously. In this district manurac- turing plants are well filled with orders and In a majority of cases are running to ull capacity. Generally there is no. short age of raw materials, but delivery has been hampered In some cases by transpor tation problems. Some improvement has manifested itsell the shortage of freight cars, but the sit uation still remains perplexing, and, un fortunately, general transportation con ditions do not seem to be improving with any degree of certainty. Industrial concerns are apparently carryi ng their customers paper for moderate amounts and also in the majority of cases are discounting their bills and obligations. me sentiment in Oregon is against gov ernment ownership of railroads. General co-operative movements are not looked upon with favor unless organized with the purpose of stabilizing business in general. financial Banks have funds to lend at and 8 per cent for the taking care of the movement of crops and necessary com mercial undertakings, but in general are we:i loaned up.

A single mill yard there has Its stock of lumber insured for $1,600,000. Klamath Palls OrowlnK. "During the gas shortage Klam ath Falls was in a peculiar situation be cause allocations were based upon consumption of the preceding year. But when the manager for the. local plant of the Standard Oil company made up his totals he found that we had used 65 per cent more oil than the previous year, but had. received only one-third of the amount needed. This is the best indication of the great increase in use of motor cars and trucks. "The town is gT-owing at an aston ishing rate. Two five-story business blocks are .in course of erection, and a new theater is to be four storfes. There are about 40 buildings in pro gress of construction in the business district, exclusive of residences, and I think it can be said without fear of contradiction that Klamath Falls is having the greatest building move ment of any town in Oregon, In pro portion to population."

TTurlftiness seem to be Increasing in this territory, as stLvin-ga accounts have greatly increased. The excels profits tax seems to be In disfavor and general business is for the gross tale tax. Protested checks have not increased In number. This is caused primarily as a result of the tendency against extravagant cost of living. AgriauJtUTe farmers in Oregon are prosperous and crops are reported good nd all expect a good year. The wool and sheepmen have suffered by poor markets for their products.

Eight Judges Engaged, "Who Arc Said to Be Orators as Well as Expert Judges. Notice of the annual meeting of the Oregron Purebred Livestock asso ciation, to be held at the state fair grounds September 29 at 8 P. M., has been sent out by Secretary Maris. Eight livestock judges have been en gaged by Secretary Lea who are said to be orators as well as exp,ert judges, and these men. as well as local speak ers, 'will be on the programme, Mr. Maris states. All the visiting- judges have been asked to attend the session. Mr. Maris has sent the following letter to each judge: "Some judges have lost their reputations and stand ings in livestock society circles yea. their lives after failing to regard the demands of our association that they remain' during the whole of fair week and attend our annual meeting and banquet. "We sincerely hope you will not take any such desperate chances on your future existence." While this letter is rather threat ening and should have the desired effect, Mr. Mariss says it is mild com pared to what he said to the judges In his invitation letter last year Much good has been accomplished by the organization in increasing purebred livestock. Stanley, manager of the Klamath county chamber of commerce, who is stopping at the Benson hotel while in Portland. "Tule lake is about 35 miles south east of Klamath Palls and the land on which this great crop of grain was grown has been reclaimed by the di version of the flow of Lost river to the Klamath river, the control of flood waters at Clear lake and re clamation of the acreage by evapor ation. The land was leased to farm ers and seeded to wheat, barley, oats' and other crops. The wheat is yield ing from 35 to U bushels an acre, barley 80 to 110 bTisheis and the oats correspondingly heavy. The grain will be hauled to the grain ware houses at Klamath Falls by motor trucks. Hre Yield Heavy. "On the Caledonia marsh, bordering upper Klamath lake, rye Is being har vested that Is yielding 65 bushels an acre. Here also was grown the ex perimental crop of mint, to which 30 acres was sown. It is producing 40 pounds of oil an acre, and the present market price is about $8 a pound. The u-acre teat has proven conclusively that It is a profitable crop and It is the intention to set 1000 acres to the roots next spring. the potato crop Is good and the growers are now considering the ad- visaouity or building a potato ware house for storing their product. Al- raira was an unusually good crop and there is an abundance of hay in the valley for sale. The Fort Klamath section harvested an immense crop of timothy and alsike, nearly all of which was sold at picture prices. Wool Clip Exceptional. The annual wool clip was of" ex ceptional quality and is nearly all still in the hands of the growers. Livestock forms a big source of an nual revenue and there is a distinc tive growth in the production of the best grades of cattle, sheep, horses and hogs. The Klamath Indian reser vation is stocked with thoroughDred cattle, the development of a campaign extending over several years during which the Indian citizens have taken a foremost place among breeders of the section. It is the Klamaths of this type that are vigorously joining witn tne Dusiness men of the com munity in the movement-to have the reservation opened to settlement and to enable the residents all to become citizens. "Klamath county has 45 sawmills, box factories and wood manufactur ing plants. The cut of timber this year will produce about 500,000,000 feet of lumber. Two new sawmills County Lumber company, which has purchased a mill on Fall creek and has acquired a large tract of timber on that stream. The mill will be re fitted with modern machinery and will begin to operate soon. The new corporation has been chartered by W. C. Fellows and James K. McGowan of Portland and W. J. LIchty of Eugene.

Picking cranberries in Oregon is fast becoming an art. Since the baby- industry of Oregon has come into bearing the cranberry fields are in hot competition with the hop yards and apple orchards. Cranberries are closely allied -with America's great national holiday, when the entire country bows its reverence to a period of thanks giving for all the bounties a wise providence has bestowed. The Oregon cranberry marshes are located along the Clatsop plains, be tween Astoria, Warrenton and Sea side. Summer tourists to the seashore now include a visit 'to the marshes as part of their vacation. Naturally the cranberry is becoming well ad vertised and is constantly growing in demand among local consumers. The entire Pacific coast Is the mar ket. Both Oregon and Washington participate in supplying the de mand. The output on the coast is ade quate to the needs of the people. The eastern berry, known as the Cape Cod product, is seldom seen on the markets of the Pacific coast now, because of the excellent Quality of the home-grown fruit, and the readi ness with which the trade can be supplied vith berries, fresh from the vines. The crop .this seasonls large com pared with last year. The quality is above the average, and householders may look forward to receiving a standard grade this year, as every box packed will be inspected, graded according to size and entirely frea from chaff or soft berries.

The companies operating marshes along Clatsop Plains are better equipped to take care of their pickers than ever. Comfortable little houses have been provided that contain fresh straw beds, cooking utensils, running water and lights. Pickers can make from $3 to 57 per day. Those who endeavor to make progress usually receive the big pay checks. The long evenings afford visits to the ocean beach, where bathing can be indulged in when tides allow; others form in groups and hold open forum. Like the hop fields, there Is always someone capable of supply ing an evening's entertainment. The cranberry, marshes are like a well-kept lawn. The vines are about a finger's length and contain two to half a dozen berries on each. They grow close together, have no prickers or spurs to annoy the worker, and with pleasant weather forms more of a delightful vacation than a laborious one. and at the same time profitable. Portland is considered the biggest labor market in the state; hence the call to the metropolis for aid. Head quarters of the cranberry growers has been placed with Mrs. L. Vivianne Scott, Henry building, Portland, who will register pickers and give full directions. BOARDMAN FAIR SUCCESS A. L. Larson Shows 31 Varieties of Products From Brush Tract. BOARDMAN.
