Two Weeks' Course in Horti
culture Is Opened.
PRODUCTION SPEEDED UP
Increase In Ilood River Output by
Better Management Inspires
Further Deliberations.
The two weeks' course In horticul
ture which opens the series of short
course, in connection with the an
nual farmers' ween at Oregon Agri
cultural college began Saturday. Or
chard and orcnard soil management
will be given prominence In view of
the showing made by improved man
agement methods In the Hood River
district, which increased production
from 216 to 314 boxes of packed ap
ples an acre for a three-year average.
The Improved management also
brought improved quality of fruit of
a higher commercial grade.
The changes brought about by the
new methods result In improved soil
fertility and soil tilth, lessened ero
sion, increased soil nitrates and re
newed vegetable growth. Ail these
factors make for permanent produc
tion as well as better profits and
more fruit. The new policy of or
chard management grew out of in
vestigations conduced by the experi
ment station and with suitable modi
fications have application to all the
leading fruit districts of the state.
They will he fully explained at the
short course for the benefit of grow
ers who stand ready to apply science
more largely in Increasing quantity
and quality and lowering costs of
production.
New Trim-lilies Developed.
Spraying, thinning and pruning
have all been modified by the prin
ciples newly developed by the sta
tion specialists who will offer them
to the growers at the short course.
Like improvements have grown out
of the station work In vegetable
growing, which is listed for short
course work under Prof. A. G. Bou
quet and his assistants. A nation
wide contest in celery growing on
the basis' of quality, yield and low
production cost on half-acre plots,
was won by Frank B. and Elmo B.
Chase of Eugene in the contest just
concluded at Albany, N. Y. Elmo
Chase is a sraduate of the college
in the vegetable growing department,
and Frank Chase has not missed a
single short course so far held by
the college. The work on classes
of vegetables best suited to the dif
ferent districts of Oregon, most prof
itable varieties, and planting dates
with cultural methods, such as
brought success in the celery con
test, will receive attention in the
short course.
Product Inn Speeded I' p.
The winter short courses are prov
ing of great value to the farmers in
speeding up production. They are
arranged especially for the benefit
of the man who has had experience
in tilling the soil and who is anxious
to learn scientific phases of farming
not obtained by experience. They
are intended to give the farmer and
grower Information to place him in
a position to get the most out of his
farm.
Other short courses to be given at
the college are:
Two weeks' grain grading course,
January 9 to 21.
Four weeks' course in bookkeep
ing, January 30 to February 25.
Eleven weeks' course in tractor
mechanics, January 2 to March 18.
Short courses In dairy manufactur
ing. January 2 to 28. and January 30

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, Dec. 4. (Special.)
An average gain of more than 100
per cent in money invested was made
by the six boys and girls who led In
the Portland union stockyards spe
olal contest. The average cost of the
four pigs for the entire period of their
growth was S72.S7 with a net return
of J154.96.
The Portland union stockyards ap
propriated prizes totaling $400 for a
pen of four pigs exhibited in the Pa
cific International Livestock exposi
tion by Oregon pig club members. It
was required that the pigs be entered
in the contest at the start of the
feeding period and that accurate feed
and weight records be kept for a pe
riod of at least three months. The
Judging was based on individuality,
gain In weight, cost, and complete
ness and accuracy of the records.
The average daily gain of each pig,
according to data filed by the young
sters was 5.65 pounds. The average
weight of each pig at the beginning
of the contest was 65 pounds. Each
pig averaged 226 pounds when the
contest closed after 90 days.
The state was divided into three
districts for the contest. Alta Dahl
hammer of Gresham placed first in
district No. 1, Melville Richey and
Leslie Lynch came second and third,
respectively. Emeline Bloom took
first place in district No. 2. Wayne
L Swaggert and James Waugaman
placed first and second, respectively,
in district No. 3.

Last spring Pickering & Sons dis
tributed beet seed to a number of
farmers to test their growth here.
The beets have flourished, reaching
a huge size in some instances. J. H.
Taylor of the Wynooche valley and
John E. Hill of Montesano were
among the most successful growers,
one using bottom land and the other
bench land with equally good results.
Some doubt Is expressed, however,
about the sugar content, some fear
ing that the beets are. too large.
There is said to be no finer dairy
feed than the residue of sugar beets,
and a refinery located In the midst
of a dairying country such as Grays

CLUB WORK PROFIT TO STATE
Boys and Girls Clear $31,000 Cash
in Work for Year.
A profit to taxpayers of $31,000 last
y?ar was realized from the results
of club work among boys and girls
of the state, according to H. C. Sey
mour, state leader of boys' and girls'
clubs.
'!...-.: year the entire expense to
clcb members was $55,000, and the
value of things produced $111,000,"
said Mr. Seymour. "This does not
include $19,000 won In prizes, nor
does it touch the educational value
to the club members. The overhead
cost to the sta te was $25,000."
In the 15 projects 10,282 members
were "enrolled. Sewing and cooking
projects under Miss Helen Cowgill
were the most popular with the girls,
while the pig and calf clubs led by
L. J. Allen drew the largest number
of boys. The 400 members in the
canning project canned 28,799 quarts
of fruit, vegetables and meat.
"Club work has helped Improve the
quality of stock raised In Oregon."
said Mr. Seymour. "Four years ao
at the state fair only 17 animals were
exhibited by club members. Four of
these animals were registered. This
year they exhibited 200 registered
animals.
"Portland clubs were financially
successful in a marked degree."

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis. Dec. 3. (Special.)
The next meeting of the American
Association of Instructors and Inves

be at the Oregon Agricultural col
lege. Word to this effect has been
received by A. G. Lunn, acting head
of the department and president of
the organization. The date of the
meeting has not been announced.
The organization, started in 1908,
now has 400 members in the United
States. It has never met west of
Iowa. The fact that these poultry
specialists are coming to the north
west is said to be particularly sig
nificant, inasmuch as the northwest
has taken the lead in production of
heavy egg-producing strains.

WARNING AGAINST FIRE GIVEN
Heating Devices of Certain Kind
Menace to Fruit Warehouses.
OLYMPIA. Wash.. Dec. 4. A warn
ing to apple growers and warehouse
men has been Issued by Deputy Fire
Marshal Groce against the use of
temporary heating devices In the
fruit warehouses.
"In view of the heavy losses during
the last few years," said Mr. Groce,
"this department deems it Imperative
that fire prevention measures be In
augurated prior to the cold season.
The so-called "coal-oil stove has been
the most prolific producer of losses.
All warehouses should be equipped
with substantial brick chimneys so
that haphazard devices may be elim
inated." There are about 440 public apple
warehouses and probably 500 private
ones in the state, according to Mr.
Groce.

Sllverton Sets Out Walnuts.
SILVERTON. O.-., Dec. 4. (Special.)
Weather conditions which have pre
vailed so far this year will undoubt
edly necessitate some reseeding of
fall grain next spring, according to
a series of timely farm pointers is
sued by the agricultural college. This
reseeding. It was declared, should al
ways be made with a similar class
and quality of wheat whenever pos
sible. Thus, for reseeding Turkey Red,
Marquis is probably the best variety,
and when reseeding fortyfold, an
early spring variety like Bart or
l luestem Is good, as these three are
in the same class. For reseeding
white club use hybred 143 or Jenkins
club, as these have the same spring
habit, mature moderatley early, and
are In the same class.
The best results In berry growing
call for the application of the equiv
alent of 10 tons of barnyard manure
a year, says the chief of horticulture
at the experiment station. The fer
tilizer must be used if the Oregon
berry grower Is to succeed in keen
competition. Commercial fertilizers
are best mixed In order to be In read
iness for application when spring
work begins. Moderation in appli
cation of nitrates is essential to avert
undue tenderness in the canes.
The best developed ears of sweet
corn should be saved for e ding next
spring, to be planted in a plot by i
themselves. This corn wfll constitute
the breeding stock from which the
Lest selection is made each year. Ears
slightly inferior to the best ones can j
oe usen tor growing tne general crop.
Thus by keeping a special seed plot
the value of the. strain will be main
tained and Improved. Seeds ears of
Portland Market sweet corn should
be about eight Inches long, 12 row d,
grains In straight rows and com
pactly "arranged, and with butt and
tip ends square and well filled. Gold
en Bantam ears should be six inches
ong, 10 to 12 rowed, well shaped and
a good golden color.
In feeding grain to hens during the
winter one-third of the daily ration is
i'est fed In the morning and two
thirds at night. Be careful not to
over feed as the layers must be kept
busy. When they show signs of not
oeing hungry cut down on the amount.
Fall freshening cows yield from 10
to 20 per cent more milk during the
ear than those freshening in the
spring, and their greatest yield comes
at the season when prices are high
est, which makes this a profitable
dairy practice. Breed cows as far as
practicable in December. January and
February for freshening in Septem
ber, October and November.
Fruit trees may be planted In west
ern Oregon from now on whenever
soil and weather conditions permit.
Obtain well matured trees and then
prune the roots carefully before set
ting to make smooth cuts that will
heal over quickly. Watch the roots
carefully while pruning, and reject
fees showing signs of wooly aphis,
crown gall or mushroom root rot.
Winter setting allows the trees to
get well established for early spring
growth and brings the work at a time
when labor is abundant,
Because of the low price of grain
and the strong demand for hogs, It
Is reasonable to expect history to re
peat Itself that Is, there will be so
many sows bred that the supply will
exceed the demand In a couple of
; ears. The safe hog production pro
gramme Is one based on a proper bal
ance with other industries on the
farm. A few sows maintained year
In and year out will be a source of
profit on practically every farm.

ALBANY, Or., Dec. 4. (Special.)
A dairy herd record o.ufc which has
been organized at Shedd by Fred N.
Williamson, Linn county club leader,
is the second organization of this
kind among the boys' and girls' in
dustrial c'.ubs of the state. The only
other club of the kind is In Klamath
county. This new club started work
last week with five members. Edith
Pugh was elected president, Clarice
McConnell vice-president and Stan
ley Satchwell secretary. The other
members are Harvey McConnell and
Ralph Malson.
Another new club formed in Linn
county Is a sewing club In the Oak-
about Menlo. Yakima hay growers
find themselves swamped with a
surplus of several thousand carloads
of alfalfa for which they are unable
to find sale at remunerative prices.
Accordingly they are buying milch
cows and shipping them into their
own country to use the cheap feed

with 238 acres last year, according to
F. H. Gloyd, supervisor In the depart

acreage is said to be due largely to
the demand shown for certified stock
last season when growers received
from 50 to 100 per cent above the
market price for certified potatoes.
"Yakima makes the largest demand
for certified seed of any section of
the state," said Mr. Oloyd. "Most of
the seed used In this district at pres
ent Is shipped from middle western
states, but with freight rates exces
sive, there Is no reason why growers
in this state cannot hold this market
against outside competition. The
growers In Spokane territory are
making a determined effort to gel
this trade, and with approximatelj
220 tons of certified seed availabli
this year will be able to make a good
start. Clarke county, while furnish

Would you like to get into a business that Insures a
good earning power and employment anywhere in the
civilized world?
The publishers of America want you to work for them
if you have as much as a good grammar school educa
tion. The work is very nearly the same as operating a
typewriter for six or eight hours a day.
The atmosphere surrounding the work nowadays is
as agreeable as that of a counting room, and the associa
tions are just as pleasing. It is attractive to talented
women as well as to ambitious men, from 18 years old
upward.
A school for the purpose of training you thirteen
weeks has been established at Macon, Ga., in connection
with the Georgia-Alabama Business College. This paper
is interested in the school because it sees the great need
for the graduates. Employment at unusually high pay
is assured at once if you but join the school and work
faithfully to perform the tasks assigned to you.
