THE O REG OTT DAILY' JOURNAL, PORTLAND, OREGON Much Grain Is Saved by a 'IF'ew Precautions :andyA.djmsimnispf VAST. QUANTITY OF GRAIN SAVED BY . By It. CStewart A very considerable saving of grain may, be assured ' by proper precaution at the time of harvest , lng. During , this period i of high prices not only for grain ; but fpr labor required to raise the prop, no one can well afford to overlook a chance to save every bit of the grain raised. Loss from scattered straw lr the shock rows runs as high as two to five bushels per acre. This can be saved by using a rake after the bundles have ; been " taken op. Boor adjustment of the machine will waste enough grain in a day to have paid the costs of raising tlys grain, i Every farmer "can save "a great deal of grain by the ;' following y methods : 'Raking the shock rows; using a tight ot torn ed wagon tor naming ' Dunaies ; Jby a careful and thorough clean-up around the machine,' the use ef a large iftsnvai finrfio A nn fha BTMind under the feeder to catch the grain which shat . tera put In the process of feeding and that which leaks out arouna me ironi end of the machine and by watching: the adjustment ft the separator at all times, marking occasional testa to see if grain is going over. ' ADJUSTMENT IMPORTANT v . Here in the West, where much mois ture, prevails, ; the adjustment' of the machine should be watched closely throughout the day. In the morning the grain is apt to be moist and not easily shelled. If the machine - Is ad Justed to overcome this condition, it should be readjusted in the afternoon . to provide for their dryer condition of the grain, "if not so adjusted to meet the changing condition, grain; will be wasted. - - .: ' , : . Thrashing Is looked upon generally as a very, distasteful operation. This fact is to blame for waste in many Instances., ' The farmer is anxious to have It over with and speeds up the work as much as possible. Haste makes waste in thrash ing In many ways. Care should be taken In pitching from the wagon. If the ma chine' is fed. too fast or carelessly, it can not function 'properly. Mt.CH naiis WiSTGD " Probably more grain is wasted from failure to clean up at the end of a set ' ting than for any other single cause. 1 Just as much care should, be taken in cleaning up all the unthrashed , straw .' and loose grain that pa accumulated -. around the machine as has been' taken with the rest of the Job. Even with the best of care, a considerable amount of , unthrashed straw will . accumulate around , the Jt eeder In the course of the . day's work! If the straw is very dry, , much grain) will shatter from the heads . as it is being pitched from 'the. wagons or stacks onto the feeder. . A; little wasted grain does not seem to amount to very much, but it on stops " and figures up how much it would aggregate If only one bushel is wasted for - every aerie thrashed here in . this state it appears in a different light. A bushel saved' is better than an extra ' bushel raised for it has not taxed the : land to raise the extra bushel. Lack of proper culling thus far has proved to be, in the majority of cases, the principal reason why a flock is not profitable. Forty per cent of the hens in the average farm flock today are non productive, and should be sold or eaten. It costs about 12 a year to feed each hen. If she does not produce more than that amount in eggs she is unprofitable. 1 Take the rooster away from the sum mer laying flock. He Is no help to heavy or - continued laying, but is a great bother. The hens will lay at least as well - without him, and the eggs will keep longer, either packed or marketed fresh. Green feed for laying hens and little -chicks is a daily need. If cut Into short bits less Is wasted. Any green such as grass, lawn clippings, garden remnants and palatable weeds, is good. Feed on clean ground or on boards. ;" The Oregon pen of five college Barred Rocks leads the 95 pens of heavy layers In the -Western Wellington .contest.

If the burn occurs .during July, August or eaTly; in September, the seed should be sown in the early fall before the ashes have been settled by the rains. : If seeded in. the unsettled ashes, the first rains that come will cover the seed sufficiently to- secure good germination. If the- burn occurs so late in the fall that the seed can not be sown until during October, it is best to sow the grasses then and wait until in February or March to sow the clover. - The heaving of the soil during the late fall and iwlnter, a condition caused by alternate thawing and freezing, often de stroys . young clover - unless it is , sown early enough- in the fall to get a good start. - If the fall-sown clover Is de stroyed in this way it may be reseeded during February or March. When sown in the early spring the heaving of. the soil helps to cover-the seed. -; Spokane Dairymen ' j Commence Drive s- ': - ..- , .- -, v :V : i . ' Spokane, Wash.; July 3.

BEST TIE TO CUT HAY IS SUGGESTED Hay in Benton county and other parts of Oregon is often allowed to get too ripe before It is cut, points out W. S. Carpenter, of the Oregon Agricultural college farm crops de partment. This causes losses in dol lars and cents. ' : j ' - . In irrigated alfalfa districts weather is generally good for cutting and curing hay, but the crop ia often purposely left to ripen when it is to be sold to stock men by stack measurement. This late cutting gains "some weight for the crop, but often damages the next crop by clipping the young sprouts. J " . V The best time to cut the alfalfa- Is when about one tenth the blossoms are open, "or when the new sprouts of the following crop begin to appear. ) Clover is best cut when one third of the blooms are turning brown.. Vetch and oats make the beet hay when the lower : vetch pods are 1 half formed. ! ' Grain hay im ready to cut when in the soft dough stage. ': ' ' In all hay making it Is well to guess the weather: right and then rush from cutting to stacking. - It should lie in the swath just long enough to wilt, then be raked : into windrows, where it- Is cured. If a loader is used. : Otherwise it is shocked directly from the windrows and allowed to cure. ., NOTES F1KDM Green feed is essential to heavy, pro Irnrted economical milk flow, and the silo is essential to a year-round green feed supply I at minimum cost, 'A big silo boom is! on in many parts of Ore gon, and progressive, successful , iarm ers are building silos. s .. ,. , j " i . :;i' ; . - ' Canned goods even slightly discolored or, off normar appearance should not be tasted, as a very little toxin of this bac teria will cause serious illness or even death.

Maloney went in debt- for his last cent to lease a small tract of land and ob tain an outfit so that he might raise wheat on the Umatilla. . reservation 10. miles from Pendleton- He- sold his. first crop of wheat, a paltry of fering in these days, for 55 cents a bushel. , Today, J. W. Maloney .is president of one of Pendleton's three banks, owns .and farms nearly 2400 acres of this same reservation land, and holds contracts for a portion of this year's crop at $2.50 a bushel. "Strict adherence ,ta business methods in the ; operation of my farms . and a faith in the future of this county. which made me buy land whenever the opportunity afforded, brought about my success, . Maloney explained, it is saia that he can tell probably more accur ately than any wheat grower in the county, how much it cost each year to produce wheat : per busheu t KEEPS FARM BOOKS There is no guesswork about the cost. of doing " business ' on the Maloney ranch. Close account of costs, con sideration of all the factors of doing business, such as insurance, rent, in terest, investment, wages, etc., - is kept The farm books are just as accurately kept as the books of the bank of which he ts head. ' A resident of Umatilla county since he came from Missouri a lad of 12, Maloney has had faith in the farming possibilities of this section. He paid $100 an acre for land a few years ago that others kept their hands off because they thought the price too high. That same land this year Is producing 50 bushels of wheat at $2.50 a bushel, or $125. . It is now valued at $250 an acre. : : Although he shared a crop In 1900 While he lived at Athena, Maloney does not record his entry in the wheat busi ness until 1905. In the 15 years he has been a producer, he has been chiefly a business manager over his ranches.' He has kept closely in touch with adminis tration while leaving actual work to younger heads. His son resides ' on one of his ranches and does the actual farming. MIXES BASKING WITH FARM0O Alwiys in connection : with ' farming Maloney has, mixed business. In 1905 when he started out, he was cashier of the old Pendleton Savings bank, headed by W. J. Furnish. In 1908 he gave up banking, "shortly to become county re corder. In 1910 he was elected county Judge, serving - until 1914. n 1919 he was instrumental in organizing the new Inland Empire bank here which now requires a large share of htsattention. Over the state Maloney is also known in business and fraternal ; circles. In 103 he : was grand chancellor of - the Knights of Pythias grand lodge and continuously since serving that term he has been grand chancellor of the ex chequer. ; In civic affairs he takesan active part . and his ; business.

This con dition the Lord had foretold as surely as He had predicted His own death and resurrection; and the portentous prophecies of the Apostles were no less wpecific - Many scriptural passages demonstrate that the great falling away had lerun even while some .of the Apostles remained in the flesh ; and soon after their departure It developed with .ravening- rapidity. The causes of the latest and greatest apostasy of history .were both exlrraal and Internal, ; From the outside the batteries of persecution were unceasingly active. The Primitive Church suffered under both Judaistic and Pagan -cruelty. Virulent defenders of Judaism as a system, upholders of the Mosaic Law and determined Opponents of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, all persecuted the early Christians with relentless fury, and effectively enlisted the aid of heathen powers. Horn reveled fn the slaughter of .Christians, with periodic orgies of wholaale butcheries from Nero to Diocletian. - ; , In this devil-lnsptred brutality, special effort was made to kill off the leaders of the Church, the ordained ministers of Christ ; and the Apostles led the gruesome procession of martyrdom, followed by multitudes of less prominent but devoted believers. . . i . Frightful as was the persecution from without, the Internal conditions of schism and anarchy as to organization and government were even more potent tn disrupting the Church. Writings of the-early Christian, Fathers attest this fact,' and acknowledgment of spiritual declension is abundant. ' Early In the fourth century, Constantino the Great professedly espoused the cause of Christianity, and took under his imperial protection the degenerate and turbulent organization then calling itself the Church. Intense competition for ecclesiastical preferment was an Immediate and inevitable result. A bishop was rated higher than a general, and an archbishop than a prince. To ignore what passed for Christianity in those days was to invoke ostracim and persecution. The emperor, though himself unbaptized, was the real head of the Church, and pretended ordinations to what was blasphemously called the priesthood were given at his pleasure. , " Thence onward to the sixteenth, centurr. the Church grew Increasingly rapacious, until it came to be a secular autocracy, rich ;n scarlet, fine linen, gold, and Jewels, boastfully claiming Jurisdiction over the souls of men, punishing or pardoning for real or alleged guilt, selling parchment scrolls as Certificates of remission of alns, or as licenses to commit sins already planned, and assuming to set up or overthrow earthly government. Read 2 Thees, 2;.3-4, and observe therein that the reign of the son of perdition was foreseen. See the author's Great Apostasy 177 pp.-for comprehensive treatment. . The apostasy of the Church was as truly an event of history as was the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ. An1 as surely as the Savior's immortal Spirit returned to earth has His Church returned. It has been given again from the heavens, with all Its ancient privileges and blessings ; and the power of the Holy Priesthood is once more operative among men.' iiuch the Church .of Jesus Christ of Litter-day Saints affirms itself to be. .- The seeming defeat occasioned by the apostasy Is superseded by the assured victojy of the restored Church in this, the Dispensation of the Fulness of Times.
