SEARCH OF GOOD
L0GGE0-0FF LAND
; Homeseekers are now focusing
their attention upon the large areas
in th$ West that are at present non
productive. These areas consist of
logged-off lands, swamps and land
that, would be tillable If irrigated.
Such lands have been lying' dormant
in- the past as there has been no in
centive to go to the expense of put
ting these lands under the plow.
S With the dividing up and settling: of
moat of the available farm lands, home
seekers are beginnlnjr to cast their eyes
upon the land which is at present non
productive. The large amount of money
required to put the untillable lands under
cultivation has been the main draw
back to the development of such lands
Into farm homes.
lOC(iEI) USD OFTEX GOOD
Logged off land has many natural ad
vantages for the home builder. It pre
sents but one problem to the settler and
that is to get the land cleared' and
leveled, after which it is merely a ques
tion of which crops are the best adapted
to the soil.
Some of the richest land In the West
Is now lytngf non-productive because of
the stumps which have In the past pre
sented such a big problem to the logged
off land owners.-. Some of this land has
been seeded down and is good - gracing
land, while a big share of it is In heavy
brush or fern, which prevents the grass
from growing to advantage.
.COATS AID I3T CXBJLRI1TO -s
' 5 Goats will keep down the brush but
f1" unfortunately . they can not be induced
1 to acquire a taste for stumps. True
enough the stumps will rot out if given
enough time and if the sprouts and
brush are kept down meanwhile the land
will eventually -be tillable, without much
hard work being done on It
, r A farmer who Is depending on the soil
I for his living can not wait very many
' years for profits to start coming in and
it is an uphill; proposition to try to
make a living from a stomp patch. Very
Tew logged-off land owners have money
with which to clear the land. If they
could secure loans , that would permit
them to go ahead witn the clearing, the
land, once in a productive state, would
- soon be paying off all obligations.
STATE "WITHHOLDS AID
In Oregon, the state has provided for
the guaranteeing of interests on bonds
Issued by irrigation and drainage proj
ects, but as yet-no assistance has been
given owners of logged-off lands in
financing projects to put their land un-
der cultivation. ,
Logged-off lands are in most case's
more easily Improved than are swamp
or dry lands. Swamp land in many cases
must be cleared of stumps a well as
ditched. Even after it is drained, the
ditches require constant attention to
keep the land in a tillable condition.
Irrigable land requires a certain
amount of clearingand leveling as well
as ditching. If It is to remain produo-
live for a great number of years, it must
also be drained. There is a constant
upkeep expense upon, the ditches, .and
water rights must be bought -and paid for
from year, to year.
SEV METHODS HELP
The development of stump pullers and
new methods of land clearing has m
- tnaly reduced the cost of clearing land."
T here are many hand power stump pull
'rs upon the market which may be se
cured for a small sum, that are of great
assistance in clearing email tracts of
land. Power stump pullers, donkey en
gines and other pulling rigs offer the
best means of clearing land but are too
expensive for owners of small tracts to
consider.
However, If the owners of a small
piece of land would combine with others,
he could secure the use of. modern and
powerful implements with which to. do
his clearing. If the same state support
could be secured, for land clearing dis
tricts that is now given irrigation and
- drainage districts, modern machinery
and. expert help would solve the prob
lem of the logged-off land owner.
Hundreds of Farmers
At Extension Course
. .The Dalles, Keb. 5. Hundreds of
rarmers from all parts of the county
braved the bad roads and came here for
the extension courses presented during
Farmers' week under the auspices of the
county agriculturist. Various topics are
taken up each day, livestock, poultry
raising and accounting, potato and grain
crowing and other subjects having been
touched upon. The subject of fertiliza
tion of lands of the kind in Wasco
county was discussed at the meeting.
i nursaay by leroy Childs of the Hood
River experiment station. Spraying and
pruning of fruit trees is being covered in
the afternoon meeting. Specialists from
Oregon -Agricultural college attended all
the meetings. .
New Era in Orchard.
Culture in Offing
Eugene, Feb. . 5. What Is hoped will
prove to be the beginning of a new era'
in orchard culture has heen inaugurated
in this section by Clayton I Long, hor
ticultural expert of the Oregon Agri
cultural college, who is conducting a
series or orenara demonstrations in con
junction with the county agent aiia the
,fruit inspector. He states that the six
demonstrations so far held, have been
among the most successful he lias had
"in the state. Kvery phase of orchard
ork will be taken up with a view to
increasing the productiveness of the
orchards which In past years have been
much neglected.

DONKEY! WILL AID
Sod ro Wooley, Wash., Feb. 5 .
S. McTntyre of this city is the inven
tor of a donkey attachment for the
Fordson tractor that promises to
revolutionize methods in land clear
ing, road building and light logging.
The -plant is a simple combination of
the old donkey engine of two drums, and
the Pordson power "plant, the two being
mounted on regular donkey engine skids.
The range of power developed is from
3400 pounds at a speed of two miles an
hour in hlghf gear to 18,000 pounds at
0.4 miles in low. The haul-back drum
develops a speed' cf 8 miles an hour
in high. 3.2 miles in .intermediate and
1.8 miles in low. This M. A. C. tugger
heist, as it is called, carries 1000 feet of
"Wnch main line and' 2000 feet of -inch
haul-back cable. The frame -is cast
in one piece open hearth steel, rigidly
braced, and the inventor's company, the
Skagit Steel and Iron works, guarantees
it against breakage with the -inch
cable.
The inventor says of his machine:
"The hoist requires but two men to ope
rate it, the engineer and the hook tender.
Running continuously on average work,
it consumes a maximum of 10 gallons
of kerosene per day. Besides a mini
mum amount of oil. The only other oper
ating expense is the wear on the cable
and a very, small depreciation per year
on the donjiey, as it has no boiler grates
to burn out, nothing to break, and parts
that are subject to excessive wear are
inexpensive, to replace?"
Winter Bee Food
Formula Offered
H, A. Scullen, Oregon Agricultural
college bee expert, gives a good substi
tute for the natural food of bee colo
nies, which need supplementary feeding
at this time of the year. Following is
the formula for preparing the . food :
Six pounds good granulated sugar,
pound liquid glucose, 2M cups water
(20 oz.), : i teaspoon cream tartar.
The sugar, water and glucose should
be mixed together and stirred until ready
to boil. The cream of. tartar is- then
added and the stirring stopped while
the mixture comes to a good boil. , It
is 'very important not ' to scorch the
sugar, since scorched sugar kills bees
in the winter time. When the mixture
Is thoroughly cooled and beaten it should
be poured into an empty wire frame
with a close fitting board nailed to one
side and placed in the hive next to the
cluster of bees. ;
Lambs Wax Fat on
Deschutes Alfalfa
Central Oregon lamb feeders are dem
onstrating that Deschutes valley alfalfa
in-combination with sunflower silage will
make satisfactory gains on the average
feeder lamb. ! Rasmus Petersen, who is
feeding 500 lamba-9t Deschutes, reports a
gain of hi pound per head per day. when
the lambs were put on alfalfa pasture.
Thl: gain has declined to one-third pound
per day since the lambs have gone on a
straight alfalfa hay and sunflower silage
ration. The lambs are being fed all the
alfalfa they will eat with about two
pounds of silage. The . Petersen lambs
are weighed every 30 days and a careful
record ; of ' the gains and costs is kept.
Othersj feeding Iambs in the Deschutes
district ere Hans Mikkelsen, Ole Hansen
and W. L. Bergstrom. Some 2000 fat
lambs will be shipped Out during the
next two months. .
Scappoose Expert
N To Aid Fruit Men
Warren, Feb. 5. Charles Koutek of
Scappoose has been appointed fruit In
spector for this , district. Koutek is a
fruit grower; of some repute and has
stated . that he will wage war against
the 6trawberry' root- weevil, which has
made it prohibitive ta ship any plants
from this section. . He has also stated
that he will try to eliminate the "leaf
curl," which : has "caused peach growers
so much trouble. The doubling of the
annual appropriation for fruit growers
by the county court , is proving to be
an incentive to .the growers of this-section
. and they have promised to take
better care of their shrubs and trees.
Koutek succeds A. L. Mqrris,-' who has
served in the capacity of fruit inspector
for the past three years.

be made to point out the ears with
kernels that are sound as I well as
merely growable. j
With the rag doll tester as used by the
O. A. C. experiment station and some
glazed fiber paper, growers may insure
their crops against failure from dead or
even diseased seed. ;.
On a piece of muslin 12 inches wide
and not more than 56 inches long, rrjfirk
off inch squares, leaving six inches
unmarked at one end. Number the first
cross row of spaces t and so on up to

POULTRY BUSINESS
GROWING
RAPIDLY
.By II. E. Cosby
Extension Poultry Specialist
A great many people are' going
Into the poultry business in Oregon
forthe first time. The bulk of the
Increased production is perhaps due'
more to increases in established
flocks than to the new flocks; being
started.
Interest in poultry keeping is not con
fined to any particular section of the
state, yet due to climatic conditions the
greatest numerical increase is confined
to Western Oregon.
A poultry farmer with 1000 hens at
tracts quite a little attention from the
poultry interests of the state and com
munity. In that immediate community
probably 3000 hens are found in smaller
units on the general farms kept' merely
as a side line industry.
George W. Kable, county agricultural
agent of Benton county farm bureau,
arranged ' for seven poultry culling
schools to be held in September for the
benefit of both large and small poultry
units. A total of 800 poultry keepers
attended and took active part in culling
poultry. Eighty-five men expressed
their intention of doing their own culling
work.
The poultry project committee of the
farm bureau, desiring to check up on
the work, asked the people to send a
report of their culling efforts. A great
many failed to submit any report, but
31 cooperators did report Aome interest
ing data.
These 31 flock owners examined all
their hens, or a total of 3264, and reT
moved 833 low producing cull hens from
their flocks. An average of 25.5 per
cent of the hens examined were thrown
out as unprofitable and resulted in a
net saving of grain of. $500 to the pro
ducers. The greatest number of hens
owned by anyone reporting was 180.
The average number of hens per farm
was 106.
The cull hens were kept only a short
time after culling to check up on possi
ble errors. Twenty-three cooperators
reported no loss in egg production after
culling; six reported a loss of one to
three eggs a day, and two reported an
increase in production by the hens after
culling .out the boarders.
The farm bureau does not indorse cull
ing as a "cure all" for the poultry busi
ness, but emphasized its importance
only when followed up by better feeding,
breeding and housing of poultry.
DnilTTPYf
I a. . . v-mAw
i rora O. A. C.
By culling out as poor layers one
fourth of all their hens 81 Benton county
farm bureau members with an average
of 106 hens, report a net saving of $500
in feed. Xo loss in egg.production was
reported by 23 members who culled, a
loss of one to three a day was reported
by six members, and an actual gain in
output was reported by two members.
Better results are obtained when fowls
are fed according to annetita than ac
cording to rule. There are no best
jjouiii-jr leeas ..or . rations except , those
that supply the necessary food elements
most economically. Hens
on a whole grain ration. . -
Early egg laying is a characteristic of
the good laying hen. Late laying is an
other characteristic of a good layer. Se
lection of good layers thus lengthens
the laying period both at the beginning
and end of the year. -
Ashland Fruit Men's
Exhibit Wins Prize
In Southern State
Whenever Ashland's famous fruit Tias
been exhibited in any part of the coun
try it has never failed to attract the
most favorable attention.
One 'of Ashland's expert "fruit growers,
Albert Johnson, sent to the Mississippi
Valley Fruit Growers' association ex
hibit a small display of apples from his
Ashland orchard recently and has al
ready received notice from Stark Bros.
nursery that he is the recipient of first
priae on several ofViis offerings.
Ashland peaches have long been noted,
but Johnson has succeeded in raising
some of the finest specimens - of the
Delicious apples ever seen, and in com
petition with fcuit from all parts of the
country this lsa splendid recognition of
Johnson's ability as a fruit grower.
Johnson is nearly 80 years of age. He
came to Ashland and started in the fruit
business at the age of 65 and has
achieved the most notable success, in his
occupation. .

PASS DISEASE TEST
Bovine tuberculosis eradication
has made rapid strides in Oregon,
according to accredited herd list No.
3, which has just been issued by the
department of agriculture. This list
shows a total of 31 herds in Oregon
that have passed three semi-annual
tests without a tuberculin reactor or

In addition to the foregoing Oregon
also has 263 herds of pure bred cattle
that have successfully passed one tuber
culin test in the process of accreditation.
A number of these herds have already
qualified for the accredited herd list
since the publication of the last report
of the bureau and -will be announced in
the next edition, which will be Issued
within a few weeks.
The last available figures show that
there are now 5013 accredited herds, rep
resenting more than 80,000 cattle, and
27,842 herds, representing more than
440,000 cattle that have passed one suc
cessful tuberculin test. Many more
herds are on the waiting list and bureau
officials express the opinion that five
years more of active work on the part
of both federal and state authorities
will result in almost a complete eradica
tion of bovine tuberculoma in the United
States.
.Deschutes dounty has started work
on its plan to have every herd of dairy
and pure , bred cattle on the accredited
herd list by the end of three years. Dr.
Gardiner of the livestock sanitary board
arrived in Bend recently "and started
testing the pure bred Shorthorn herd of
A. J. Harter of . Tumalo. Harter, who
is president of the Deschutes Valley
Shorthorn association, has succeeded in
signing up all the cattle owners in the
Tumalo district , on a petition for the
tuberculin testing. Other petitions have
been circulated by farm bureau com
mitteemen in Lower Bridge, Terrebonne,
KedmOnd, Sisters. Deschutes and the
Bend district. Gardiner expects only to
start the work in the-Tumalo section
and other veterinarians will be assigned
later by either the state or the federal
department to work in: other portions
of the county. Bert Torkelson and C.
B. Caldwell of Bend have already bad
their herds tested three times in the
past three years and these cattle will
soon be oh the federal accredited herd
list. There is no tuberculosis present
in the herds that have been tested and
it is doubtful if the cattle of Central
Oregon will ever become very suscep
tible to the disease, due to the high alti
tude, arid climate and the presence of
about 300 days of sunshine per annum.
Winlock Man Plans
To Hatch Thousands
Of Chicks in Spring
Winlock, Wash., Feb. 5. The first lot
of chicks, 3500, made its appearance
several days ago at the big hatchery
owned by Jacob Erving. . This marks
the beginning of an industry planned
several months ago by Erving.
The hatchery is a two story building,
the upper floor containing four large
double brooder rooms, each equipped
with a stove. In the old brooder "house
are three stoves, which gives him a
total brooder space for 10,500 chicks at
one time. Erving at present has only
one incubator, with a capacity for 10,000
eggs, but the hatchery building,, costing
over $5,000, is large enough for five more
machines. He plans to install at least
three more machines this year. It Is his
plan to hatch 60,000 chicks this spring,
which will partially take care of the
orders he has. He will ship chicks to
Kelso, Astoria. Castlerock and points
on the Sound, as well as supplying many
local orders. A flock of 1500 Alderwood
Manor purebred hens is kept for breed
ing purposes. These hens have demon
strated their value as layers and are
very much in demand, j

chutes county hs more certified potato
seed than all the other counties of Ore
gon combined. Hyslop a'so apoke on th
production of clover seed and ntated that
he believed there were great possibilities
in this industry. His talk on permanent
pastures was especially timely as the
new -dairy farmers are planning on
sowing irrigated permanent pasture mix
tures for their dairy cows. ; .
; Professor Lindgren also told of the
results obtained in Idaho and Colorado
from" irrigated pastures, and stated, that
with hay at $10 per ton. an acre of per
manent pasture, would make a greater
financial return than a yield of three
or four tons of alfalfa.
Bend consumes some $30,000 worth of
poultry products and at the present this
Is more than is produced locally. Tcr
haps the greatest labor Income from '
Deschutes county farms were made 'on
those hern poultry was a major line of
Industry. Levi Krnst of Powell Butte,
from ' an ordinary farm flock of 500
White Leghorns, sold $1797-worth of
eggs and $185 worth of poultry during -1920.
This was a sideline to his regular
farming operations, but returned as
