' the state expressly exempts farmer or

BURNING OF STRAW
PROFLIGATE WASTE
"Scores of straw stacks have been
burned the laBt few days in the Wil
lamette valley a profligate waste
of feed, litter, nitrogen and organic
matter," says W. L. Powers, chief
of soils at the O. A. C. experiment
station.
The soils specialist quotes K. L. Pot
ter, animal husbandry head, to the ef
fect that the feeding value of oat straw
is 1 a ton when hay is selling at $10 a
ton. In actual test at the Eastern Ore
gon branch station, Union, plenty of
straw roughage supplemented by two
pounds cotton seed cake per head per
day carried stock through the winter in
good condition.
The digestible nutrients of straw com
pared with those of oat and vetch bay
are given by Henry in "Feeds and Feed
ing" as about two thirds as much in
fats, fully as much in carbohydates and
one sixth as much in crude protein. Clo
ver straw contains as much carbohy
drates and about two thirds as much fat
and protein as oat and vetch hay.
The feeding value of the straw may
be preserved in Western Oregon by use
of strawy sheds.
MTRO0EX CONTEXT VALUED
"The nitrogen contained in straw is
too valuable to be sent off into the
clouds," says Professor Powers. "Fig
ured at. fertilizer prices, 25 cents a
pound, a ton of oat straw contains $2.90
worth of nitrogen."
The value of nitrogen in one ton of
other straws is : Barley. $2.80 ; wheat,
$2.50 ; rye, $2.40 ; clover straw, $6.
"The rotting effect of straw is needed
fn Western Oregon soils." Professor
Powers declares. "This decay is asso
ciated with the activity of beneficial
bacteria.
"Active decaying Organic matter Is
needed on most all our soils, as it re
leases phosphorus, potash and other
plant foods from Its own substances
and from the mineral particles of soils.
It mellows the soil and increases its
sponglness and its capacity for retain
ing usable moisture.
"Our worn grain lands and heavy soils
of Western Oregon more often need or
ganic matter than mineral plant foods."
MAKES GOOD FERTILIZER
Straw should not be left to occupy
tillable land, says Professor Powers.
Neither is it often justifiable to burn it
to destroy weeds. The following prac
tice is recommended :
By use of a straw shed or exercise
shed straw can be fed and used as bed
ding to absorb and convey liquid manure
back to the land. Or, by means of a
straw spreader, it can be scattered over
the grain, fields of the farm, where it
may be disked, and plowed under.
The early heavy rains of this fall will
help greatly in hastening decay of the
organic materials where they were well
cut with the disk before being plowed
Into the wet soils.

Fall Plowing Gets
Under Full Swing
Leisyville, Or., Oct. 2. Fall plowing is
under way now, and some have sown
rye already in this district. The early
rains have been a benefit to those wish
ing to get their plowing done, as the
ground is now in 'splendid condition, but
it has made the ensilage-cutting very
late. Some have used sunflowers for en
silage this year for the first time, and
they promise to be a decided success,
for they yield a much greater tonnage
per acre, and their feeding value com
pares favorably with corn, making them
a valuable crop. The Mammoth Russian
Is the variety sown Aere, and attains a
height of 15 feet.

PLAN TO BATE
The farmers living along Willow
and Rhea creeks in Morrow county
met in the I. O. O. F. hall Saturday
afternoon to discuss what action
could be taken toward developing
more water for irrigating the lands
along these streams. The county
agent pointed out that a preliminary
investigation showed that "there
were several reservoir sites that
could probably be improved so that
water could be provided not only
for the lands now receiving water
but for considerable new land as
well.
There are about 6000 acres of land
now. under irrigation and it is thought
that probably about 1500 acres of new
land can be added.
The general impression 1b that a com
plete water right will add at least 20 per
cent to the value of the land.
A committee was appointed to pro
ceed with the organization of an irriga
tion district at once. The Morrow
county farm bureau has taken a leading
part in this step.
Knockers never win and winners never

IRRIGATION MEET
Baker, Sept. 25. Two of the dele
gates from Baker to the Northwest
Irrigation congress held at Seattle
last week have returned and report
a very successful and beneficial
meeting of the irrigation ists.
A. A. Smith and W. A. Steward ap
proved the plan outlined a year ago by
the meeting of the Western States Re
clamation association.
The Smith-Fletcher bill which is now
before congress, and which seems most
likely of any of the reclamation acts to
be adopted, was indorsed by the meet
ing, although a direct appropriation was
looked at by delegates as the most de
sirable. The Smith-Fletcher bill pro
vides for 'reclamation work by guaran
teeing the bond sale of all irrigation
projects and will benefit the entire coun
try alike.
A permanent organisation was per
fected at Seattle and the Northwest Re
clamation league formed. Four vice
presidents in addition to other officers
were elected from each state. A. A.

ALFALFA FEEDING
TO LAMBS PAYS
By R. A. Ward
Lamb feeding tn Central Oregon
is a new industry. The work on an
experimental scale was carried on In
Deschutes county last year, in co
operation . with the First National
Bank of Bend, which purchased the
lambs and. supervised the feeding
tests. This year, with a great sur
plus of excellent alfalfa hay, as well
a Ihe opportunity of purchasing
some 75,000 feeder lambs at reason
able prices at the Bend stockyards,
lamb feeding promises to become
quite an industry in the Deschutes
valley.
The bank records of last year Indicate
about what financial returns can be ex
pected when ' feeding alfalfa hay to
lambs.
FED HAT STRAIGHT
The lambs that were fed hay straight,
made a daily gain of about one fifth of
a pound, over a 60 to 100-day period.
Those fed hay and some grain made
gains of from one-fourth to one-third
pounds per day.
The hay fed to lambs lat year brought
the feeders all the way from $30 to over
$50 per ton. The larger return resulted
from buying lambs at a very cheap price,
and making full utilisation of the alfalfa
and stubble pasture, which frequently
furnishes feed until November 1. Most
of the lambs went into the feed lot
weighing from 55 to 60 pounds per head.
and came out weighing from 70 to 85
pounds apiece.
Basing estimates on the results of last
year and figuring alfalfa hay at $15 per
ton, and feeder lambs at $6 per head
(about the prevailing prices at present)",
feeding the hay to lambs will bring the
hay grower from $20 to $25 per ton for
his crop.
INCREASE POSSIBLE
Careful feeding and good lamb buying
will likely Increase these amounts, but
