Drain Oregon's wet lands, clean them up and put them to work pro ducing useful crops at a profit," Is the programme of agricultural 1m provement outlined by the confer ence of western and southern Oregon county agents held at the agricul tural college October 21-22. The campaign provides for co. operation by the Oregon experiment station, college extension service, county agents and such state, county and city organizatipns as are willing to Join. in the work of Increasing the agricultural wealth of the state.

Reclamation Held Important Many of the delegates to the con ference declared the problem of tam ing these wild lands and getting them to work to .be the most pressing new facing agriculture, and all consider It a major factor In necessary develop ment. Transformation of waste lands Into productive acres is as essential to the appearance of Oregon scenic at tractiveness as to Its Increased pro duction, leaders of the movement de clared. The -effect of wide stretches of Idle lands on tourists and prob pectlve home builders was said to be most depressing. "Although It will take many years to work out the programme. It is hoped that enough will have been accomplished by the time the 1925 -exposition opens, If It is held as con templated, to Improve materially the value and appearance of much Ore gon farm lands," said Paul V. Maris, director of the extension service. "It has been demonstrated that a great deal of the water-logged lands are susceptible to reclamation by draln 'age and soil management, and can be brought Into profitable production." Six Types of Wet Land. Not more than six types of wet lands have been uncovered by the soil survey work, which Is now six-tenths complete, and chemical analyses of these types have been worked out by, tile station department of agricultural chemistry. These analyses, together with field trials on tiled lands car ried by the soils department, serve as a guide as to the practicability of most wet lands of the valley. In the projected campaign the soils department of the station will supply data on the reclalmable areas of the state by counties, give sources and costs of ditchers and tilo. provide data on costs of reclamation for completed districts and on results of drainage, supply county agents with publicity material arid help strengthen the state drainage association.

FILBERT HELP BEST CROP WILLAMETTE VALLEY CONDI TIONS DECLAUED RIGHT. George A. Porris Gives Address at Weekly Luncheon of Eugene Chamber of Commerce. EUGENE, Or., Oct. 23. (Special.) It is the betlrf of George A. Dorrls. after 18 years of experimentation and development, t hK the filbert i the het crop that can be grown in the Willamette valley, he told the mem bers of the Eugene chamber of com merce at the chamber's weekly lunch eon. Mr. Porris' first filberts tfrere put out 18 years ago, and of this first planting only 2f trees were Barce lonas. which he has found to be the most profitable variety. In fact, he says it is the only variety to plant with a few exceptions to be used as pollenizers. Just as Waterhouse cher ries are planted in an orchard of Rayol Anncs. These 25 trees pro duced this year at the rate of 3600 pounds of nuts to the acre or a -net profit at this year's prices of a little better than 600 to the acre. At last year's prices, the net profit per acre would have exceeded $1,000. His 14-year-old trees, of which he has a larger planting, yielded at the rat of 300 pounds to the acre and his eight-year-old trees at the rate of 2000 pounds an acre. The trees come into profitable commercial bear ing, he said, at five or six years of age, and continue to increase their production after that time until they attnin their maximum size.

BCTTERFAT AVERAGE GAIXS Increase of 3.58 Pounds Each Cow Over September Report Shown. OREGON AGRICfLTURAli COL LEGE, Corvallis, . Oct. 23. (Special.) With an average production of 29.2 pounds of butterfat for Septem ber the 2529 cows In cow-testing as sociations showed a marked gain over the average yield for Septem ber, 1920, reports E. B. Fittsi. in charge of cow-testing association work for the Btate college extension service and the federal division of dairying. This was a gain of 3.58 pounds per cow as compared with the Sep tember. 1920, report. It lacks only eight-tenths of a pound of bringing the average yield of fat for all cows In associations up to on, pound of fat a day per cow. The average milk yield likewise showed a heavy gain over the cor responding period for last year. For the 1921 period the average milk flow was 631 pounds per cow, a gain of 98 pounds. "This Increase in butterfat totals 9054 pounds for association cows," says Professor Fits. "This Increase continued through the 12 months ag gregates 108.64s pounds, which, at the moderate price of 40 cents a pound, . amounts to 43.459 a year. This sum. averaging 917.18 per cow, is a bonus to association members for following association methods of feeding, breeding and handling dairy cattle."

BOISE, Idaho. Oct. 23. (Special.) Idaho is closing one of the most bountiful harvests in its history. A report just issued by Julius H. Jacob son, Idaho's agricultural statistician, forecasts the smashing- of many rec cords. The crop is estimated larger than before. "Idaho's crop promises to exceed all previous records." says the report of Statistician Jacobsen regarding the apple crop. "It grained 11 points in condition over September, making it 80 per cent of normaU or 3. 33. 000 bushels. There is such a demand for Idaho apples that 4100 cars will be required to move the commercial crop. There is an immense crop in the Boise and Payette valleys of highest quality. "Idaho's potato crop Is holding up well, though frosts have had their effect on October estimates. Killing frosts were responsible for reducing Idaho's crop to 9.1 98.OO0 bushels from the 9.4S4,(M)0-bushel prospects Sep tember 1." The wheat crop will total 24,518,000, Mr. Jacobsen estimates.

PORTLAND MANUFAC TURERS AND JOBBERS Rasmussen&Co. rvrr N.E.Comor SECOND and TAYLOR ' First Step Is to Take Out Canes That Bore Last Year, Says College Professor. "Full Instructions for the pruning of red raspberries are contained In ' a communication received from C. E. Schuster, assistant professor of pom ology at the agricultural college. The Instructions, which were prepared in response to a query irom Li. r. blun ter, follows "The first step in pruning will be to take out the canea that bore last year, if this has not already been done, although It is a better practic to cut out the bearing canes as soon as the bearing season is over. "The next step is to thin out the canes that will bear the fruit the coming year to five to eight canes to a hill. The best success In growing red raspberries has been found In confining the growth to the hill and thinning the canes from five to eight canes to a hill. "Other pruning than this Is not necessary from this point on. It has been the practice among some grow ers to head back the growth to a height of three to four feet. Experi ments have demonstrated the fact that, heavier yields are obtained by leaving the canes the full length and allowing the canes to bear to the tip. The better bearing surface of the cane is In the middle portion, and by heading back severely, as has been the custom among many growers, the best part of the bearing surface is removed, thus reducing the crop."
