THE " OREGON "DAILY " JOURNAL, - PORTLAND OREGON. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 5, 1820.- Prdss Is a trig Gos Agricultiiral v v - ' ? i .. " 1 Big Factor m Spreading Better Farmi pel 1 FARM PRESS AIDS ! AGRICULTURIST TO MODERN METHODS SUNFLOWERS MAKE GOOD SILAGE By It. C. Stewart "In the past few years meani of communication have bo improved that new Ideas may be given to the public for their consideration in a .remarkably short time. When ideas ' were transmitted by word of mouth only, naturally they, traveled slowly and but very short distances. The farming '0duatry, through lack of coordination and publicity medlumi, naa been the last of the primary in dustries to adopt new and systema tized methods, but since the agricul tural press has been developed ideas have spread rapidly and now 'the 'average farmer demands a rneeium which will bring to him news and .up to date ideas the same week in which they develop. 7 Without the agricultural press few Jpeople could be reached with a new idea tend none of the several beneficial move ments could have, gained any volume. The agricultural press lias bee a clear ing house for all the valuable informa tlon that has been gained, it has been , a school to the multitude. Some of the farm papers have fathered every movement and encouraged every enter prise started for the benefit of the agri culturist. 'DEVELOP Kl.V BBANCHES The day I" past when the general Idea 'prevailed that the farmer needed no any other line of business resorted to 'farming to eke out an existence. Farm ing today requires a broader arid more "thorough education than any of the trades, and some of the professions. Farming, as It Is used in this article, Idoes not mean merely following the plow, it means the combination of good .tillage, clean harvesting, and successful ..marketing. Factors to be taken Into 'consideration under good tillage are Jproper fertilisation, drainage or Irriga tion, crop rotation, and scientific culti vation. Clean harvesting not only means the Having of all parts possible of crops that mature. It means also the elimina tion of disease and pests that destroy jiortlohs of the crop. Successful market ing la not attained when the crop la de livered te the nearest storehouse or market. Other matters to be taken into consideration are : Have the returns paid for alt the labor Involved In producing the crop? Will the present crop increase, the market for the next year's crop and whether cost of production, overhead and - .interest on the Investment have been .entirely covered. The agricultural college and experl 'ment station have been the fountain head from which much of the good has ."sprung. They have met and conquered the problems that have faced the farmer. ,They have trained the forces, the young men and women, who are new setting the example In every community, that lare lending their hands to assist a ."neighbor who has not had the advan tage of special training. They have been ' to the agricultural Industries vs a bal "ance wheel to a watch, ever keeping It In, true time, exerting a vast Influence ?upon the entire organization. COO Pt RATION BEGUN In the last few years the county agent ..has come Into existence. The county -agent has been an expert adviser, an originator of helpful Ideas, and has taken an . active part In the organisation of the farm bureau federation, which Is now 'well under way This Is the most embl- tious effort yet made to gather atl the ' 'farmers In the country under a single , banner. Some of the ablest men to be ' found compose its corps otofficers and 7 Its board of directors. Tne federation ls trying to develop a sound national agricultural policy at the same time that It Is building up Its membership. , The cooperative movements that are sweeping the country from end to end 'are the direct outcome of this great awakening. They distinctly show that ; the vast majority Is not content to stand by while someone, that neither works nor spins, gambles with the crops they have raised,' names the prices and by foul or , fair means forces the producer to meet J their (the speculators) market pries for produce and the retail price for any i necessity the farmer must buy. The speculator and the manufacturer ; have demanded "cost plus" the plus has often times been the largest The pro- ducer has asked for cost of production, but his voice mixed with the many other thousands has caused but a babble, each ' voice added causing more confusion. By forming cooperative associations, the . voices from the multitude have been "synchronised ; they now gain in volume . by every voice raised. MIST BE PROGRESSIVE The farmer who believes in standing "by old. antique methods and ideas is gradually being forced to take up some other means of gaining a livelihood. He .'cannot compete with the up-to-date agri culturist. In most cases he does not -know why he Is forced out, only thinking llhat farming Is a poor business. The fact of the matter is he has forced him self out by his stagnant methods. The .awakening is gradually- eliminating ine :i-:'!'y.r'-.4 i if If . t W. f " -f t '' w .T : -'.a.

Read the advertisements on the' farm pages. They contain many helpful hints on better farming.V In answering adver tisements always mention The Journal. By lJ. Ii. Parberry, Sisters. Or. I obtained through the First Na tional bank of Bend last spring 80 pounds of sunflower seed, of the Russian Giant variety, which is about the same as the Mammoth 1 Russian. e I planted the seed about May 15 with a grain drill in rows 28 inches apart, about IS pounds to the acre, which was altogether too thick. I had my drill set for 61 pounds of oats. Next season I am going to set my drill for 41 pounds of oats and have the rows 36 inches apart. By planting In this way I -expect to get a much larger yield than I did this year. I had In this, year, about five acres from which I put Up about 60 tons of ensilage. This ensilage cost me, put In the silo, hbout 82 per ton. This is allowing for plowing, cultivating, irrigating: and putting In. I cultivated once and Irrigated twice. My sunflowers were up and had from four to six leaves when we had the hard freeze last spring, but it did them no harm. My pond was coated over with Ice three times this fall before I srot them in the silo. I have been feeding the silage now about a week to my dairy cows', about 25 or 10 pounds to the cow. They are eating sbout half the hay they were eating before I started them in on the ensilage, and I can notice an in crease In the amount of milk already. I first gave them a very small feed with a little grain placed on top. but now they eat the"ensilage straight and seem as anxious for it as a horse does for his gram. I think sunflowers are an ideal crop for this section and I do not doubt but what .we can raise from 25 to 35 tons per acre with the proper method of pointing' and cultivation. I .suppose It will be a revelation to a great many people to know that sunflowers are be lng raised In Iowa, Ohio, Nebraska and Dakota for ensilage. Sunflowers going 36 tons per acre and corn nine, I figure that my five acres of sunflowers pro duced for me this year, about $600, or better than $160 per acre. t . ,v Alfalfa Growers of Columbia Basin Form New Organiation Hermiston, Sept. '25. More than 100 alfalfa producers met at the public li brary and organised what will be known as the Columbia Basin Alfalfa Growers' association. Representatives were in at tendance from Columbia. Hermiston, Umatilla. Irrlgon and Boardman. County Agents Benton of Umatilla and Hunt of Morrow were present to assist in this new venture. The object of the organi sation is to promote development- of the most profitable system of alfalfa pro duction and marketing. The principal office will be located in Hermiston and the business Will be transacted through a board of directors. The membership fee is to be $1 per year in addition to the annual farm bureau fee. A meeting is called for September 28, when a con stitution and by-laws will be adopted and officers elected. - TO HOLD MEETING Secretary Marls of the Oregon Purebred Livestock association, in sending out notices of the annual meeting, says: "The war is over long ago, but the stockmen's after-war troubles are aplenty. Let us discuss remedies at the annual meeting of the association. September 2 at 8 p. m., and ratify the solution at the banquet the following evening." Eight livestock judges have been en gaged by Secretary A. H. Lea, and he says they are all orators as well as exoert ludres. but in order to make sure of a spicy program some of the local sandwiched in. It is to be hoped these Eastern six of the eight judges are from the East) judge will not fall to attend our meet ings, as they have sometimes done in the past. Remembering these experi ences and hoping to avoid a repetition of them. Maris has sent the following letter to each Judge: "Some Judges have lost their repu tation and standing in livestock so ciety circles yea, their lives after fail ing to regard the demands of our as sociation that they remain during the whole of fair week and attend our an nual meeting and annual banquet "We ainceely hope you will net take such desperate chances on your future existence. 'Our annual meeting will be held on the state fair grounds at Salem p. m., Wednesday. September 29. "Banquet tlve following evening, and place to be nual meetjng Maris says orators will be at 8 hour announced at the an- Extendinc the courtesies of our as sociation and wishing you a safe trip. a nleasant time and a 'hard Job of Judjfina-.' I am," etc. While th is letter Is rather threaten ing and should have the desired effect. it is mild compared to what was sata to the Judges last year. Much good has been accomplished by this organisation and every breeder is urged to attend the .meetings and take an active interest. Renew your mem bership and bring in one or two new members. Organisation and coopera tion, are the stockman's salvation. BELIEVES APPLE MEN .SHOULD ORGANIZE ASSN. A' ' . - ' J.

NOTES O.A.C A new site with land enough te make the experimental irrigation werk of the Umatilla project truly representative for the near 106,000 acres of like lands in Oregon, is said te be a need ot the Her miston project, by James T. Jardine. director of the agricultural college ex periment stations. Not only all Oregon but the entire West must back this and other worthy land reclamation projects if national aid is successfully enlisted. . Bees carry four things Into the hive. says H. a. Scullen; bee man er Oregon and specialist at O. A. C. : Nectar col lected from Cowers and made into honey is carried In the honey stomach ; pollen collected from flowers and largely fed to the young as bee bread, is carried on the legs; water largely teteed the young is carried in the honey stomach, and propolis collected from such sources as buds of trees and used to varnish the inside of the hive and step up oracka, is carried on. the legs. The good potato hill for seed Is the one that is vigorous, has no disease In top or tuber, and has a good number pt fair sited potatoes smooth and true to type. By maming the nina now ana ex amining the tubers at harvest time the grower can get the very best seed his crop holds. Thig will help get a good crop of marketable potatoes next year. Out of 57S1 cow tested by Oregon as sociations in July, 12 were branded aa boarders and fired off to the butcher. The average production of all cows waa 32 pounds of fgt, while the best cow gave 105 pounds. Nine associations tested during July, and a new one has since formed in Columbia county. their quality beat In the field where they grew. If they are of the right kind and reached theip superior place In normal conditions in hUls of average plant food, water, ir, room and light environment they are good seed stock. Mark them now, pick, before hard frees. dry out and st ere in dry place. They win repay you many times next year, U used for eeed.

And it's the right idea, says ISe COUNTRY GEMTLEMAM That's why you find this great national weekly championing every cooperative venture among farmers it knows that whether it be in the purchase of farm machinery, the canning of milk or the shipping of hogs, working together is the plan that pays. The Country Qen tux mam's stories of co operation among farmers are famous the country over.

Unto Adam and later prophets the Father spaas, affirming the Oodshlp of the Christ and the fact that the Hon was the fore, appointed Savior of mankind, (Bee Pearl of Great Price, pp. ji. . s, 15, 34 etc.) On ths occasion of our Lord's bsptlsm In Jordan, the fathers voire was heard saying: "This Is Mr beloreiT Hob, In Whim t am well pleased." 'Matt. S:17.) At the transflaliration, a similar testimony was Riven by in tMr (Matt 17:6). On an occasion yet later, while Jesus prayed In anguish of soul, submitting; Himself that ths Fathers purposes be fulfilled and the Kathera name glorified.
