Highest Aim of Organization to
Make Soil Production More
Profitable; Pertinent Ques
tions Asked.
The Farm Bureau Is an organization
fif fn 'trier of the Nation having for Its
purpose the betterment of rural con
umous, aiming particularly to make
farming more profitable. It is the
latest attempt at getting the farmers
together for their own benefit and
built on the experience of other sim
ilar organizations of the past. It now
has th ('National organization, the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
made up of the various State federa
tions, and they in turn of the County
Bureaus, which are built on the com
munity organizations, the foundation
of which is the individual farmer
members. Thus the success of the
whole plan depends on what the In
dividual farmer does.
Are You Doing Your Part?
Unless each individual farmer be
comes an active 1 Integral working
unit the other parts of the whole or
ganlzatlon are slowed up. In Lincoln
Clunty we have about two hundred
members, but as yet but little activity
on the part of the iniiivMiiM mombers.
What we need is Farm Bureau lead
ership. Can't you start something in
your community?
The Program of Work planned by
the Lincoln County Farm Bureau co
operating with the O. A. C. Extension
Service is given below. Progress is
bnlng made on many of thpse projects.

July 14 Set for
Meeting of Goat
And Sheep Men
Meeting to Be Held at Eddy
ville; Co-operative Plan of
Predatory Animal Eradication
to Be Urged.
Considerable publicity has been
given to the necessity for eradicating
the predatory animals from the goat
and sheep ranges of Lincoln County It
we are to maintain the Industry. The
past bounty system aud hunting meth
ods employed in the county have prov
en themselves unequal to the occasion
and in keeping with the same methods
employed elsewhere, the assistance
of the Predatory Animal Department
of the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture, has been enlisted.
Government hunters, Williams and
Jackson, arrived in the County the
first of the month and have been study
ing the coyote situation particularly
since that time. They have become
much Interested In the damage done
by bear, and participated In a bear
hunt at Nashville last week on which
occasion Mr. Stokes of Toledo was the
lucky party member and bagged the
bear.
Mr. Wiiliams advises that the coyote
and bear situation can be handled io
a much better advantage by the use
of traps than by hunting, and it is
probable that his recommendations at
the giat and sheep meeting to be held
at Eddyvillo the afternoon of Fri
day the 14th will be along this lino.
It Is probable that financial assis
tance and supervision of the work will
be offered by the predatory animal
department, but In order to prosecute
the work it is likely that additional
funds will be necessary from Lincoln
County, and the Lincoln County Coyote

ASH BEDS PROVE IDEAL
FOR STARTING PASTURES
Seed Covered In Dry sh Germinates
With First' Rains and Usually
Makes Vigorous Stcr.d.
Ideal pasture seed beds are provided
by the ash beds left after many brush
and forest fires, together with the
burning of slashings, reports G. R.
Hyslop, chief In farm crops, Oregon
Agricultural College Experiment Sta
tion. '
The seed covered In dry ash germ
inates with the first rains and usually
makes a vigorous stand. Experiment
stations results show-that such grass
es, properly pastured, remain useful
many years.
A good pasture mixture for western
Oregon well-drained lands as recom
mended by ProfeBJor Hyslop consists
of 6 pounds of English rye grass, 3
pounds orchard grass, 3 pounds Ken
tucky blue grass, 3 pounds meadow
fescue. 2 pounds timothy, 3 pounds red
clover or spineless bur clover, and 1
pound white clover.
From 18 to 20 pounds of the mixture
should be seeded per acre If the seed
1s of good quality. This will usually
be 140 to 150 live seeds per square
foot, If the seed Is good.
Sounds good to hear the big mill
whistle at Toledo.
AL STEVENSON OF
CORVALLIS WILL BUY
COWS AND HEIFERS
Many farmers are seeking a sale for
their extra cattle on account of the
short hay crop. Al Stevenson advises
that If we get listings together he will
come over if he can get any apprecia
ble lots. Send In your listings to the
County Agent's office.

Early Seeding

ing. Occasionally there are exceptions to
the rule that early seeding, whether in
the fall or spring, pays best; but the
average figures compiled for a series
of years give an advantage or at least
two to one In favor of early seeding,
especially on the well drained and up.
land soils. This season oats early fall
sown are showing good yields, and the
early spring sown oats are far In ad
vance of those la t sown. In many
Instances this year, not only in Lincoln
County, but throughout the Willamette
Valley, late spring crops are practical
ly failures. In the Farm Bureau Pro
gram of Work for 1923, fall seeding of
oatf or rye, or vetch and oats on our
uplands, should be especially stressed.
This year should be a good year to
emphasize the practice for It Is likely
that we will not have forgotten the
poor results secured from te spring
seeding.

Directions for Growing Ladlno Clover
The following description of La
dlno clover has been prepared by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture and
the seeds that are being distributed
were secured from the Forage Crop
Investigations, Bureau of Plant In
dustry. "Ladlno or giant white clover Is a
very large form of the common white
clover so abundant In bluegrass pas
tures and lawns throughout the Unit
ed States. In every respect the La
dlno clover Is similar to the ordinary
white clover except that In favorable
locations it grows 10 to 20 inches high
and is two to four times larger In all
Its parts. Extended culture of the
crop has been limited by the fact that
it seeds very sparingly In the eastern.
state? and dependence has had to be
placed on high-priced seed Imported
from Italy. Recently, however, very
good crops of Ladlno clover seed have
been produced In Idaho and sufficient
seed for domestic use will probably
be available before long at a reason
able price.
Doctor Lytlo stating that Doctor Der-
flinger had been assigned again to
Lincoln County and that we would be
able to start the work August 1st. It
is hoped that all of the portions of the
county not heretofore tested will be
covered this year and retests made in
those territories where reactors were
found. In order that the work may be
facilitated territories will be tested in
the order In which they make appli
cation to tho ccunty agent's office -aud
which have complied with the request
of the State Veterinarian that the
cattle owners sign an agreement that
they will Nve their cows available Rt
the time the tester arrives and will
otherwise assist the tester In getting
over the territory as fast as possible.
The following form is suggested as a

worth while to try Ladlno ctover on
any sandy or gravelly soils that dry
out badly during the summer. It is
not quite as hardy as comraon white
clover and may winter- kill If subjecst
ed to alternate freezing and thawing.
It will probably be a good thing for
Willamette Valley and coast demon
strations to pasture off or clip off this
clover In the late fall so that It does
not have too much top growth during
the winter months. This precaution
is unnecessary In Eastern Oregon.
For demonstration purposes, tt Is

Culture
' The seed bed should be free from
common white clover, should be plow
ed as early as possible In the spring
and worked down to a fine, firm seed
bed. It should be thoroughly rolled
in order to get the seed bed quite firm
and so the surface will be fine. The
seed should be put on at the rate of
five pounds an acre, although for seed
production three to four pounds Is
probably better. The seed may be
broadcasted and harrowed In lightly
if the surface soil is moist. If the
surface soil Is dry. It will be beBt to
cover by going over the land with a
corrugated roller instead of harrow
ing. May or early June seeding is de

Canary Grass
Canary grass Is rank growing leafy
plant particularly well adapted to '
poorly drained soil. It Is perennial
and will stand pasturing while the soil
la yet very wet. It can be pastured in j
the spring, a crop of hay or ullage ,
grown and then a good fall pasture
secured. I
The crop has proven very valuable
in Coos county and was the most out
standing crop shown on the O. A. C.
Experiment Station this spring.
Seed can be secured from J. l.
Smith, Coquelle, at 12.75 per pound.
The seed is high priced because of the
large demand for it and the fact that
it must bp hand stripped. A small
patch may be . seen growing on the
C. and C. Christiansen farm of Toledo.
A number of large trials are being
made this year at different points in
the county.
