THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, OREGON Pptdfr SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28. 1921. GIANT INCUBATOR SETS PACE WITH POULTRY EXPERTS - . One of the most modern poultry, plant in Oregon is that owned by F. C. Schroder, who lives on Eighty itecond street southeast, Portland. Schroder has recently installed the largest incubator now in the sjate. It is a mammoth Newton Giant and 1 ts a capacity of 10,800 eggs. But this is only the beginning:. In building Ms new' incubator house, Shro der has planned for enlarging and ex- - peets to install another of this same ise next season. This mammoth ma chine is divided into units of 600 eg capacity with each of these sections di vided into compartments of 150. Each of thnse compartments has its individual automatic regulator which keeps the temperature at any desired degree. HEATED BY HOT WATER , The entire plant is heated by a hot water system, the heating unit being enclosed in a separate room to prevent any burnt air coming In contact with the eggs or the hab:- chicks. The heat ing plant, which is self regulating, burns gas briquets and needs attention but twice dally. Schroder states that this machine is a great Improvement over the old indi vidual unit machines. It requres very Itttle attention to keep the heat per fects regulated and Is a great labrtr navfr, as the eggs may be automatically turned In the entire plant by the use of a crank at one end of the machine. It. requires less than lye minutes to turn tha 10,800 eggs. Schroder is hatching the eggs from " the hens which he has UDon his own place. He calls them the Royal Ann atrain of the White- Leghorns and the cock at the head of his flock is King of the Wops, who is a direct offspring of the Madinon Square Garden and the Emerson and Martin strains. BIRD T?EVEK BEATE7T This bird Is of wonderful type and has pever yet been beaten in a show ring. He shows wonderful style and vitality and is considered one of the best in the Ing offer for this bird, but he will not sell at any price. Only two-year-old hens are kept in the - breeding flock. These are birds which have been proven in the layincr cens the year before and have been closely culled and picked for vitality. Schroder will produce 6000 baby chicks this years for his own use. These will be culled next year while they are in the commercial flock and will be used the second year in tne Dreeaing pens. All of the pullets which Schroder now r has in his flock of 2500 are kept In a " commercial perL and one of the eggs are used for hatching. BREEDS FOR VITALITY Schroder believes In breeding for vi tality as well as for egg production, and the baby chicks which he is placing upon the market indicate that he is suc cessful. ' Eggs not needed for hatching ' purposes are sold through the Pacific LARGE INCUBATOR DOING FINE WORK ftii ii ' " " im Hi, mamir-!W$:m.im mi iff - ir..ffiiisT.i.i.Ki . i-i nmi f-r?rrr' " fcA 1 !

This is one of the most modernly equipped and best regulated plants in the state and it is well worth anyone's time to see it if they are contemplating going into the poultry business. utihfHiiltiniftifHi!iiiiitiniiiiiiiHiuliiiirui f OREGON MANUFACTURERS AND JOBBERS IIUtliaMlttllfMlhlMtHtHIII)lllllllllftlUINIUIIIIllli:lllttW SHOPE BRICK CO.

The Dun dee Fruit Growers' and Tackers. as sociation, which met in Newberg this week, featured Oregon ' prunes. Booths were erected and prune deli cacies served. Five-pound boxes bearing the lable of the Dundee Fruit Growers' and Packers' associ ation will be sent all over the United States. The local newspaper issued a special prune edition. This particular part of the Willamette valley, the center of the Oregon prune industry, haa fully demonstrated its ideal conditions for producing the beet fruit known for drying purposes. Soil and climate, especially in the hill land, combine in furnishing these conditions. The fruit grown here Is dried, processed and packed under the strictest sanitary conditions. Growers here, through long experience and careful study of methods,, have be come expert In the art of curing the fruit. Prunes grown here are dried by artificial heat, in kilns completely pro tected from contamination of any sort, differing materially in this feature from fruit cured in the opea air, exposed for a long season to dirt, dust and Insects. Live, dry steam, under heavy pressure, with a spray of pure boiling water as the final cleansing, is the only agent used in the process of sterilization and preparation for packing. Directly from this process the hot fruit goes into the various sized boxes, protected by linings of paraffine paper. Thus the prunes are not touched by hands from the time they leave the sorting tables at the driers until they are ready for shipment, mak ing a perfect food product. Proper method in foreparing for the table is very essential in order to get the most enjoyment and the best food value from the dally use of the fruit. A fundamental point is to remember that dried fruits should never be sub jected to violent boiling. Soaking a num ber of hours In cold water, then slow simmering several hours longer, is the only right process in cooking. Dairying Is now recognized as a profitable industry in the Silver Lake valley, which haa long been the cen ter of the ' ran if e cattle and sheep industry. The stagnation of the wool and cattle markets has resulted in a growing in terest in dairying on the part of range stockmen, particularly since, they have found the weekly cream check a handy instrument in paying for groceries at the local stores, which some time ago went on a cash basis. A dairy meetfhg was held on February 5 which was attended by some' 40 Inter ested ranchers. A movement was started to purchase the Fort Rock creamery, which will then be established at Silver Lake. Some 25 stockmen signed up for shares In the creamery and a committee composed of E. F. Graves, A. B. Schroe der and Louis Bennet of Silver Lake have been signing : up shareholders in the Summer Lake country. , A talk on dairying, silos and dairy cattle was given by R. A. Ward of the First Na tional bank of Bend. A discussion of silos and silage crops for northern Lake county conditions proved of considerable Interest to the Silver Lake ranchers. '"frops of rye, oats, barley and wheat are grown on the lake beds and in the creek, bottoms with fair success. On the upland soils rye has proved the chief crop. Many of these farmers are plan ning on trying out sunflowers and field peas as silage crops. There is an abun dance of moisture in the soils and the Silver Lake hills have more snow on them than for years, so indications are for a good crop in the valley this year. The Silver Lake people feel that a creamery will prove of great geneflt to the country, especially after the com pletion of the Silver Lake irrigation project, which will" bring most of the valley lands und.r irrigation. The stages to Bend carried out some 25,000 pounds of butter and cream last year, most of which was produced In the Silver and Summer lake districts. The Fort Rock creamery during the past year produced several thousand pounds of butter per Tonth, but the dry-years have caused homesteaders to leave the valley in such numbers that the creamery industry can 10 longer be maintained profitably. . Poultry fcy 1 notes In making the matlngs It will pay the breeder well to pend a considerable amount of time In studying and select ing the individual birds. The different birds available should be- compared, their strong and weak points weighed, and the particular purpose of each mat ing kept in mind. The experienced breed er knows that to produce the quality Wanted in the offspring it is not always simply a matter of selecting birds Of each sex which in themselves approach as near as possible to the Ideal, but that often it is necessary to use birds which differ quite radically from : the ideaJ sought. To the beginner, this la usually unknown, and it comes as a surprise when he fails to secure the re sults from his mating which he thinks he might, reasonably expect. There Is said to be a prospect of cheap er feed and it may be' possible soon' fcr poultry breeders to be able to feed wheat to their chickens. Wheat is the most successful food for chickens in the Northwest. Barley without being , pro cessed is not good for laying hens, since it has too much fiber. White oats is no better. These grains should be hulled or processed to make them digestible, A balanced mixture of all these grains la hard to beat. - W.R.Wood Stocks Ranch at Bonanza Klamath Falls, Or.. Feb. 26. W. R. Wood, formerly of Sioux Falls, S. D., has purchased a, ranch near Bonanza which he states will be stocked with purebred cattle, eight of which have been purchased at the Claude E. Stevens stock farm near Seattle and are en route to this city. Some of the cows are by Matador, the nationally famous Carna tion stock farm bull. 10,000 Rabbits Killed Klamath Falls, Feb. 26. Ten thou sand rabbits have been - destroyed In the Lorella district since December 13 as the result of the intensive campaign waged since that time and due to the discov ery of a modification of the standard poison which promises to give excellent results, according to W. J. Sargent, field assistant of the United States biological survey, who has. Just closed the work in that section. . COW-TESTING WORK 13 TO BE CONTINUED Astoria, Feb.- 26. The members of the Clatsop County Cow Testing association decided to continue test ing for another year, at a meeting held In the Chamber of Commerce on February 19, realizing that In or der to receive the greatest benefits from cow testing It is necessary to test continuously in order that the young stock and the herd sire can be checked 'up at all times. Several members of the ; association told of the benefits they had received through the cow-testing association. "'v The tester, W. J.' Kent, an experienced dairyman, was able to assist them in feeding, according to , several of the dairymen. x. - The average production per cow, last year 'of the. best- herd in the Clatsop county association was over 300 pounds of hutterfat, which is more than double the average production of cows In the state. During the month of January the Clatsop oounty association led all the as sociations in the state in the production per cAw, ; , .v- The dairymen -attending the meeting decided to assist the county agent in the organisation of other : cow-testing asso ciations. They ? expressed their belief that through the cow-testing associations this section could be made one of the leading dairy sections of the state. The dairy products of the county now run from $700,000 to 11,000,000 a year, and by stimulation of the Industry and Increased production of 'the cows this could be doubled in a few years. Maiiy in Klamath Get Purebred Stock Klamath Falls, Feb. 26. During one week the livestock committee of the Klamath county farm bureau has sent for over worth of purebred live stock on individual orders for farmers of the county, according to E. IL Thomas, county agent Included are orders for three more Poland China gilts and four head of dairy cows. C. C Lewis of Olene is the purchaser of the dairy cowa . Purebred Livestock - M' am " aaa. a aW M A Men rick Unicers And Adopt Program Corvallls, Feb. 26. B. P. Cator of Corvallls was elected president of the Pure Bred : Livestock Breeders' associ ation organized February 23. Other officer are W. X. Locke of Mountain View, vice president ; K. R, Morse of Wells, secretary. ' A board .of directors composed of the project leaders in the districts of the county will carry out the plans of the association for the extermination: of scrub sires and the eradication of bovine tuberculosis. Those appointed are : John L. Hubler and Fred Lowry of Alsea; Conner Edwards, Bellfountaln ; J. M. Reynolds, Corvaflia ; Frank Hugh son, Fairmont ; Bert Cator, Independ ence; Adolph Fromhers, Kiger Island; R. O. Mills, Monroe; Dr. C. H. Newth, Philomath; F. D. Bailey, Plymouth; F. A, Reynolds, Summit; John Buchanan, Willamette; J. H. Goldman. Wren. Professor E. B. Fltts of the college and George Kable, county agent, pre sented the plan of work for the associ ation, which was unanimously adopted. Judge Stapleton's Leghorns Produce 12 34-0unce Eggs Judge George W. Stapleton is an en thusiastic and one of the most suc cessful poultry raisers of this district. He has a farm near Greshan where Ae raises full blooded White Leghorns, in addition to high class Barred Rocks and Single Comb Rhode Island Reds. The farm ia in charge of C. A. Barr, an expert poultry man, formerly of .New York state. At the present time there are 600 eggs from the White- Leghorn pens In the incubators for early hatch, and next season Judge Stapleton. expects to have 700 White Leghorns, all of them hatched from stock raised at the Gresham farm. The judge has been exhibiting a dozen White Leghorn eggs which weigh 34 eight inches and weighs a little more than four ounces, truly a large egg for this breed. . Shall A l . Ms, 11 Tumalo District's Cattle Stand High . In Tubercular Test Dr. Gardiner, assistant state veterin arian, has completed the testing of the herds of the first Deschutes county unit in the county's campaign toward the accredited herd list plan. The work was done in the Tumalo district and although upwards of 100 cows were tested, com prising the herds of over 15 farmers, only two herds were found to contain any reactors and these were cattle which had been brought in from the Willamette valley and the Tillamook country. This bears out the conclusions that ' cattle bred in the high, dry cli mate of the Central Oregon district sel dom if ever have tuberculosis and that those which may react, have been In fected from cattle brought In from dis tricts where the disease was more or less prevalent. ' Dr. Gardiner was assisted In his work by A. J. Harter of Tumalo, president of the Deschutes Valley Shorthorn Breeders' association. It was largely through his efforts that interest ! in the United States accredited herd plan was awakened among the breeders of the county and the testing started. ; Some few herds in the Bend district have been tested three years in succession and are being placed on the United States ac credited list. Community Divided Over Question! of Sunflower Ensilage Dallas. Or., Feb. 26. M. A. Lynch, liv ing near McCoy, ia one. of several who gave sunflowers a thorough trial -3 ensilage. While county politics has oc cupled the front of the stage in recent weeks, the McCoy community really is divided into two factions, the sunflower adherents, and the advocates of corn, pure and simple. A few of the mem bers of the opposing factions continue to be neighborly but the sunflower sit uation is one that results in warm and lengthy argument. Lynch feels that his cows are doing better on the sunflower silage than they did last year on corn. S. L Stewart, on the other hand, says : "Corn la going to be good enough for me. Porter Frizzell contends that where corn does well one should forget about other silage crops, but that on some of the low and poorly drained lands where' corn la not a success sunflowers have a very proper place. Instead of shutting our gates against all aliens for a year, as the House proposed, the Senate Committee on Immigration would accelerate the influx from Northwestern Europe while diminishing the flood of other Europeans. This principle of selective immigration is embodied in the Dillingham Bill, a so-called emergency measure which would temporarily limit the admission of aliens of any nationality to five per cent of the number of foreign-born persons of that nationality resident ia the United States in 1910. The Danish Danske Pioneer, of Omaha, says: "From a national economical standpoint Dillingham argues his bill soundly and correctly, maintaining, based on statistics, that the restrictions will allow larger immigration than before from Northwestern Europe. . . . We can see no objections to its becoming law."' The Czecho-Slovak Denni Hlasatel does not" believe in re strictive legislation on immigration, as "conditions are going to take care of themselves." The Jewish Daily Forward; of Chicago, says that "the Senate bill will hit Jewish immigration no less than would the Johnson bill, had that bill become a law. The real meaning of this bill, then, is that from- all these countries (the New Russia) only 86,000 Jews and Gentiles will be allowed to land in the United States during the next-year. Jewish , immigration will, therefore, be restricted to almost nothing." The leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST this week, February 26th, comprises a sweep ing survey of the immigration subject irthe United States, presenting the views of leading English and foreign-language papers on the measures now Under consideration. " The article is accompanied by a chart showing the rise and fall of immigration and the numbers . of the principal racial groups now in the United States. , . . .
