Prosser Farmer Finds Purchasing

PROSSER, Wan.. Dec. 26. (Spe

bred stock on the farm has been dem
onstrated by H. T. Smith, one of
Pressor's most practical farmers who
ha.3 built up a dairy herd second to
none in the valley.
In the fall of 1914, H. T. Smith
bought bis first pure-bred cow to
start a pure-bred Holstein-Frieslan
dairy herd. A few weeks after her
arrival she gave birth to a heifer calf
which was named Prosser Johanna
Gluck. On the 29th of October last,
Prosser. at the age of 6 years and 19
days gave birth to her sixth calf and
wus put on official test and continued
for 15 days. At the end of that time
was found that her best seven-day
record is 29 1-10 pounds butter, which
is within less than a pound of the
hiphest seven-day record ever made
in the Yakima valley.

Financing of the Portland Vege

what may be done here on a big

The successful financing of this
large project, it is pointed out. is
true indication of the faith Portland
people have in the future of this city
and is a test also of their loyalty to
such a cause. It is ail the more bib

There is a feeling of optimism in
financial circles here and it is gen

Western Oregon," and is sending cop

Western Oregon is well suited in
soil and climate to the production of
soiling crops. The soil and climatic
conditions make the practice a nec
essary adjunct to the pasturage and
silaare systems of converting field
croDS into animal products, and util
izing the byproducts in maintaining
soil fertility.
Chief GItm Ontnlon.
"We do not recommend either of
the three systems to the exclusion of
the others." wr Res G. K. tiysiop,
chief of farm crops, in the bulletin, of
which he is- the author. Tne im
Dortant thing is that whatever the
system it shall provide good succu
lent food in cheap form to farm stock

Rich, high-yielding pasture is de

available. Silage presents many ad
vantages wherever silage crop pro

getting succulence to the stock is by

Vetch and rye seeded early in the
fall affords the earliest spring leed
ing crops-. Since rye grows woody
rather early small plantings are ad
vised. The crops' are solid during
late March and early April.
Crimson clover for soiling should
be started some time in late spring
or earlv summer on warm, well-
drained soils. Jt should be planted
early enough that it gets a start be
fore too great droutn prevents

Jtiver Orchard District.
With a view to determining the best
fertilizer for apples, pears, straw
berries, potatoes and clover on dif
ferent soil types in Hood River valley,
Gordon G. Brown, of the Hood Kivei
experiment station, is making an
orchard survey of -that district. In
addition he has been doing special
research work for the past four
years at the experiment station.
The outstanding feature of these
experiments is that nitrogen has been
the limiting factor under. Hood River
valley conditions. Commercial nitro
gen has been supplied by small an
nual early spring applications of
nitrate of soda at the rate of three
pounds a tree.
Of late years where leguminous
cover crops sucfl as clover or alfalfa
are grown in the orchard, the re
sponse from tho nitrate of soda appli
cations has' been less striking than
when the experiments were started.
It is expected that the tests may
prove that commercial nitrogen may
be dispensed with altogether.

ing Qnalities.
KLAMATH FALLS. Or., Dec. 26.
(Special.) Experiments by John Spro
lek, Malln farmer, have given the
Klamath basin a new variety of
wheat, especially adaptable to this
climate and possessing exceptional
milling qualities, according to J. D.
Howard, local miller.
The wheat matures earlier than
other varieties, contains approximately
15 per cent more gluten content and
apparently yields heavier. Mr. Spro-
lek harvested 35 bushels to the acre
this year of this variety, about ten
bushels -In excess of other wheat
yields of the neighborhood.
The new variety has been termed
the Sprolek fife, but whether it is a
true fife variety or not Mr. Howard
does not pretend to say. There are
several epecies of the. fife family,
and the Sprolek wheat shows such
advantages over other fife wheat
grown here that it is believed that
some freak of climate, cultivation or
environment may have produced an
entirely new variety.
Mr. Sprolek started with two neaas
of wheat 'which he brought from the
east, and by careful selection over a
Dpriod of several years kept the
strain and this year had seed for a
considerable acreage.
The bluestem variety or wneai
has been grown in the Klamath basin
for several decades sjnee wheat
farming first became a large indus
try here. In late years the stock
has become sn mixed with club and
other varieties that it cannot be de
pended upon to produce the true blue-
stem. The necessity tor a new va
riety of wheat has long been in evi
dence and it was to overcome ine
disadvantages of ordinary seed that
Mr. Sprolek was led to undertaae nis
experiments.

HUE RIVER COWS LEAD
HIGHEST STATE HONORS WON
DURING NOVEMBER TESTS.
District Ahead, With 35 Milkers
Giving More Than 4 0 Pounds
of Bulterfat Per Month.
Rogue river dairymen won highest
honors in the Oregon Cow Testing as
sociation aa the result of tests made
during November, according to "re
sults which have just been given out.
That district also led others with 35
cows yielding above 40 pounds of but
ter fat for the montn.
The average yield of milk and but
ter fat for the herds of the associa
tion is the lowest of the year, owing
to a large number of cows being
nearly dry. In this connection E. B.
Fitts, extension dairyman of the agri
cultural college, declares that more
attention should be paid to having
cows freshen in the fall.
"This will cause them to give from
IS to 25 per cent more milk in a year
and the longest flow comes at the
season when the price is the highest,"
he said.
The highest yield of butter fat from
a pure-bred cow and 68.85 pounds
by a registered Jersey owned by P. A.
Lux of the Bandon association. The
