NEW INDUSTRY TO
TAKE CARE OF THE
SPOILED POTATOES
By R. C. Stewart,
- tA comparatively new j industry
that will be of distinct benefit to
the Oregon farmer will convert cull,
spoiled, surplus or frozen I potatoes
into starch or flour. Besides this a
stock food la made that is well liked
by alt classes of livestock. J - -
The potato flour and starch plant are
run on a semi-cooperative plan, each
man who wshes to deliver his cull or
surplus potatoes must hold a cooperative
certificate." The plant ln operation at
Gresham "is making only the potato
flour and stock feed, but some of the
.new plants- to be installed will make the
potato- starch as well. The Gresham
plant has a capacity of three tons of fin
ished flour per day, requiring 18 tons of
potatoes or six': tons 0 raw products to
make one ton of-flour. - '
Potatoes that have been damaged by
freezing: or water, spoiled potatoes or
mall, unmarketable ones are all rood
enough . tor . produce the best flour or
starch. '
PROCESS IS EXPLAINED . -
The potatoes are dumped- into vats
from the wagons and are first washed.
They are . then ground up and 'again
washed, the water, passing over settling
tanks and leaving the. starch in the several-
tanks. '-; v- -.
Fine screems are used to catch the
coarser portions which are later turned
into stock feeds.' Centrifigal -force is
used to separate: the flour and starch
from the water and 30 minutes of dry
ing, in a very moderate heat, is all that
Is necessary jto bring out the powdered
form of the finished product. During
the processing the gravity system, is
used. The finished product is carried
by elevators to, the fifth floor to be
placed Jn packages. Very little man
labor is required, machinery being used
wherever possible. v -i
MAWAGEB GIVES DETAILS ". . .
Concerning the securing of. the pota
toes the following ; is quoted from the
manager of the Gresham plant: "Hav
ing established a factory at -Gresham,
Or., for the purpose of taking care of the
waster product of the farm, we are" ask
ing the potato grower to obligate himself
to the extent of agreeing to plant from
one to five or a' high as -115 acres of
potatoes each year for a period of five
years, and to deliver to us at our factory
at 'Gresham, or to the nearest factory
to the vicinity in which.the potatoes are
grown, one-third of. the crop grown
upon said land which constitutes the
Cull or unmarketable potato. We exact a
toll of one-third of the finished product
for our share foi the1 manufacturing end,
giving them two-thirds. Now if we can
make good on one-third of - the finished
product and pay all the operating, ex
penses what can,' they do on two-thirds,
with no expense except the hauling to
the factory? , - " " ' : l- - -
"Our contract or agreement is very
broad and .obligates them to the extent
of their waste or unmarketable potatoes.
On the other, hand, we stand ready to
t'.it, Vr. An M ,a ti-fT frnm thA numhAnf
acres. signed up for;- in case they cannot
find a better market ' for-them on " the
outside.-." -.'- - -.;
A(iEEEME5T IS LIBERAL ;7 -'
. Thn again, suppose they sign an
agreement to plant, eay six acres of pota
toes per year for flveyears. jThat will
entitle them to plant-18 acres and deliver
the culls to us; on !.the other hand,
should they not? find -' it convenient, to
plant the elx acresf t6r any one year
during the life of the contract of agree
ment, they could plant two acres and
deliver thei entire field run to satisfy
tre contract."
' Saving the .potc s that have always
been a cotnplete when frozen or
water " soaked, and . the culls ' that have
in most cases been a waste, will mean an
increased profit for the ' grower. This
will furnish an outlet for potatoes at
any time when the market is 'glutted
and the price drops to nothing, thus
Stabllcing the industry. ' ,v .. ...

the county last yeair. ) As ' a. result,
1400 acres have been planted to sun
flowers and approximately 130 silos
have already been contracted for.
Union eountyj with 116 silos, is now
the banner silo: "county; approximately
30 silos will be,cctructedv ther this
spring. Wallowa cbdn'ty is. making' an
effort to replace Union as the leading
silo county of , eastern Oregon. An in
crease of several hundred per cent will
be attained In Umatilla county as a re
sult, of. the silo, tour, and meetings here
.and there. j ; . v-.
In Deschutes county 700 acres of sun
flowers have been planted and between
50 and 60 silos are already planned.
Several communities in Deschutes county
were interested! in concrete silos and for
a time it appeared that there would be
30 or more of the "Monuments to Prog
ress" ; erected. . Because of labor diffi
culties, however; it appears that ten or; a
dozen only Will be of ; concrete, the re

"i Previous to last year there was not a
silo in Klamath cbuntyj a leading live
stock county., A ptt silo was constructed
last year and. as a result of this demon
stration ten or a dozen silos will be
erected this year. x
' Iri Lake county, where the livestock
industry is. extensive, Jhere is not at
this time a single silo. Arrangements
have, been made by County Agent
Richards, - however, for the erection of
six or eight in different communities in
the county which will serve to demon
strate ,-the , economy- of ensilage under
Lake county conditions, j, If was in this
way that the silo became an important
factor in Union county agriculture, the
first one being erected .there upon . the

Two . essentials in the poultry yard
during the hot Weather, are plenty of
shade and drinking water. Without
clean, cool water the hens will rapidly
drop off . in -r egg production .. and 'the
young flock -will fail to make satisfac
tory gains, .i
When the-grasses, start to dry up, the
farm flock shoOhi -; be -provided - iwith
some substitute - - feed, ; - like cabbage
leaves,, kale, rape, or. If ' these are "not
available, sprouted oata. j s --''
One means "of controlling, the grass
hopper is to provide portable coops -for
the flock and keep moving ithem about
from 'place to place in the pastures and
stubble fields. The hoppers are -very
nutritious ami? the " birds do", well tn
them. .. ; . :
The object of a community egg circle
is to secure and improve better strains
of poultry ; to produce ; more eggs of
good color and size to handle eggs
more carefully in order to avoid waste ;
to nack -a Uniform srrarie of clean.
fresh eggs in order to be,' able to
guarantee . them ", and thus create - a
reputation ; to market same more di
rectly, to the r consumers ; 1 to purchase
supplies In a cooperative way, .and to
do such other things as may prove ' of
benefit to the members of the com
munity. " J " . i h.-.
The poultry yard should -be stirred or
spaded up . frequently if not in 'sod.
This will not only tend to keep down
any odors which might arise, but also
allow the droppings to be absorbed into
the . soil more readily and therefore
keep the yard in better condition . tor

SCRATCH GRAIN FED
HTANDMORNNG
By C.. S. ; Brewster .
The consensus of opinion at this
time seems to be that the best prac
tice is to "feed scratch grains morn
ing and , night "in; a deep litter i of
straw, - at the same time, keeping- a
dry mash before the birds in hop
pers at all times. 1 Special attention
should be called to the importance
of feeding early in the moi'ning and
late at night in order to shorten the
long .'rest period '"during the night.
The night feeding of grain, 'however,
should be given early enough so that
the fowls may have plenty of time
to clean it up before dark.
It is the practice 0f some feeders to
feed a. small amount of moist mash at
noon, . which . results in greater mash
consumption and therefore stimulates
egg production. This plan is particu
larly valuable in the early .fall ' in get
ting pullets started to laying or in the
late spring and summer months when
by increasing the mash ' consumption in
this way it is often possible to keep
the egg production from dropping as it
normally will at that time of the year.
VIEWS PIFEER i
. Some make a practice of feeding the
evening grain feed a little earlier in
the day and' then giving a feed of moist
mash; others give moist mash about a
half hour before , the evening grain is
fed. . .,-; - - U;f ' ,
In addition, the hens are givn cli 'the
fresh, clean water, they can i drink ' and
a plentiful supply of grit, oyster shell
and charcoal is kept before them In
.hoppers at all times. Where the hens
are not running outside, as is often the
case in winter timet green 'feed must
be supplied, being - generally fed be
tween 10 a. m. an-i noon. , - .
A common question is: "How much
shall we feed V la general, this ,is
rather difficult to .answer, as the amount
of feed needed by any particular flock
will, vary greatly, depending upon the
breed, activity, . or . age of .the fowls,
methods of housing and yarding, time
of year, rate of production,; etc The
amount most commonly given is 24 -or
25 lbs. per day per 100 hens, or about
four ounces per fowl., ; " . .
MASH IS CHEAPER - , " '
Until recent years, the practice has
been to feed about twice as much, grain
as mash. However, the experience of
practical poultrymen of the Pacific
coast, : which - is substantiated by the
results f feeding experiments . at the
New , Jersey - experiment station, - indi
cates that better results will be secured
by feeding about equal parts of grain
and ma8h. In the late spring and, sum
mer months and during the molting sea
son," even a greater proportion of mash
may toe fed with good results. Masn is
cheaper than grain. and therefore its
greater use tends toi lower : feed costs.
Mash also contains more protein, which
is the egg material, and hence its great
er use tends toward greater production.
The amount of mash eaten may be reg
ulated by the- amount of grain -fed.
Theyr prefer the grain and will eat that
first, but "if the grain feed is cut down,
they will" eat mash to take its place
in order to satisfy .their ..appetites. .
The following table has been prepared
by. the New Jersey Experiment station
as the result of ? their experiments to
show the - proper amounts of grain to
feed layers during each month. With
the amount -of grain : given they will
normally, eat the balance of their re
quirements in the form of dry 'mash,
possibly supplemented! with some moist
mash," during the . summer-and molting

Many- poultrymen feed, by measure
rather than by weight,' but it is a com
paratively easy matter for ' them to
check up-'thelr feeding j by weighing the
feeds fed occasionally. In order to check
on the ' comparative amounts of grain
and mash feed, one method is to empty
one 100 pound sack of mash into the
hopper and then keep track of the grain
fed until that is gone. , Do this about
once a month or so.i :i

CREAMERIES
CALL
FOR BETTER BUTTER
Increased use of. butter substitutes
in the last few years Is due to their
uniform good flavor and . to lack of
this r quality in butter, says V. D.
Chappell, manager of the 0.; A. C.
creamery.j in a letter to creamery
men of Oregon.
i "Creamery men do not realize the
seriousness of the proposition confront
ing them," Professor Chappell declares.
Quality, regardless of cost, Is the de
ciding factor these days, especially the
last nine months. If you expect to keep
your , nose above water in the butter
game you will have to get down -to busi
ness and make better butter by using
uniform methods." --i "- :.
A card has been sent to the creamery
men of the state with a request that it
be filled out and returned. The card,
calls for information on acidity of cream,
temperature at churning time, : tem
perature of wash water, number of
revolutions butter is worked in water,
per cent of moisture and salt and some
other vital factors.
All information called for can be found
in rightly kept churn records,' which Pro
fessor Chappell says are essential to uni
formity of methods, upon which uniform
good' quality depends. '
. Information - in the reports will be
used in conducting experiments at the
college, which is doing everything pos
sible to improve the grade of butter in
Oregon.

THE EARTH IS DEFILED
Because of Transgression
"By Dr. JAMES
Of the Council of the Twelve, Church

In a fateful prediction concernlns; ffie last days, the days In whirh the Iird
would "pnsleh the boat of the bieh ones thst are on hltrh, and the klnea of
the earth apoa the earth," Isaiah thus voiced what was shown to him in
prophetic vision: - . - ?
- 'The earth also Is defiled ander the Inhabitants thereof! beaaae thejr have
tranaa-resaed the laws, ehanired the ordinance, broken the everlaatio covrnant,"
(Isa, 24 :5 ; see also verse 2L)
In the time of turmoil ; and shaking-, lnvolvlnjr men, institutions and' the
planet itself, in the days of pitfalls and snares whereby mankind would be
deceived and entrapped, there would be some to rejoice in-the rf-ornltion of
an overruling Power; even In the dire events recorded, some would praise the
Lord despite the din of world disturbance. Bee verses 13 to 15.
'.The earth is pictured as t defiled abode this .br-raone of the Inhabitant
thereof, whose lamentable state is depicted as the direct result cf sin, which
is the traasgreegloa of the law. -
We cannot rationally construe the transgression here1" mentioned as en
clfically a violation of tbe Mosaic Law ; for that is nowhere in Scripture allr.d
an everlasting covenant. Quite the contrary, the Law, in the sense of the
Mosaic code, was temporary and preparatory in character, and was abrogated
and superseded by the Oospel (see Oal. 3:23-29); but the shed Mood of 3-nno
Christ is distinctively called "the bIood of the everlasting coTeaanC (lleb.
13 :20.) .
Isaiah looked beyond the establishment of the Oospel through the ministry
and atoning death of the Chrlpt. and saw the falling awey of the people as a
result of sin. The sad conditions then existing In- part and to reoccur in
greater literalness, were seen also by Jeremiah, through whom the Lord spake,
saying: , , - - .
"For my people have eommltted two cvlltt tbey have foraaken me the
fosataln of living waters, and hewed them est citterns, broken cliterni, thst
can hold water." ( Jer. 2 :13.).
The history of the declension of the Primitive Church furnlwhefl evidence of
a painfully literal, fulfilment. As with the priest so with the people thy did
traaarrraa the laws, change tbe ordinance and break the everlattlng covenant
embodied in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. ,
Soon after the close of the apostolic ministry, the Church underwent rapid
Internal deterioration, and developed a state of increasing perversion. Among
the-certain-symptoms of this deadly malady were the following:
(1) The corrupting, of the simple principles of the Gospel by the admixture
of the so-called philosophic systems of tbe-ttmes.
(2) Unauthorised additions to the rites of the -Churdi and the Introduction
of vital changes in essential ordinances. -.
(S) Unauthorized changes m church organisation and government.
- These were .at once- causes and effectsevery succeeding manifestation of
growing apostasy being the result of earlier declension and the cause of later
and more pronounced departure. - y
Mystery Was thrown 'about the simple and Impressive ordinances of baptUm
and the sacrament of the Lord's Supper, and pagan ceremonials were combined
therewith. Pomp and pageantry supplanted tbe soulful worship of earlv days,
and .-. oratory was elevated above inspiration and testimony, by which holy
men of old had spoken as they were moved by the Holy Ghot. (See 2 Peter
1 :21.) . . . ..... ,4..-.. - -
The - Church. 1 thoroughly reprobate. ' created offices at pleasure and laid
claim to secular . authority. - notwthstandlng our - Lord's avowal to Pilate.
"My kingdom is not ef this world." While still boasting its Divine origin r.n
founded by Jesus Christ, who refused earthly kingnhip. the Church lifted
itself above all kings .and rulers, arid arrogated to Itself supremacy in the
affairs of nations. . .. ' - . - . ,
There could be no rejuvenation of 'an institution so corrupt, so thoroughly
devoid of the gifts and graces of the Spirit, so wilfully guilty of having
transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
The reestabliahmenf of the Church by direct conferment from Jesu Chriwt
became Indispensable to the salvation of men. The Church of Jenns Christ of
Latter-Hay Baints affirms that restoration, with a restitution of all tbe earlier
ordinances of the Gospel, and tbe renewed proclamation of the everlasting
covenant,--and this through IMvlne commission. By men's acceptance of this
Gospel and compliance with Its requirements, the earth may be cleansed from
Its defilement and mankind may be saved. And there is no other way,.
