THE KING'S DQiYDRATION PLANT
WILL BE IM OPERATION THE COMING
SEASON AtUD IT WILL PUT UP BEANS
The Farmers Who Have Grown Stringless Beans Here in
the Salem District Have Found This a Good Crop to
Grow, and It Is a Good Crop for the Land, Being a
Leguminous Crop and Making for Clean Culture
. The King'a Food Products com
pany will operate Us plants the
coming season, and the Salem
plant will put up beans. This in
formation was given drectly to the
Slogan editor yesterday afternoon,
by phone, in answer to a question
as to whether the King's people
would use any beans at the Salem
plant this year.
The answer is in the affirma
tive; but the tonnage that will be
required ia not yet definite. Presi
dent Clark is in the east, and it Is
to be presumed that the announce
ment as ta ther tonnageflhat-wUl
be taken will be given out soon.
Good Bean District
The Salem district Is a good
stringless bean country, and it is
possible to build up a great bean
industry here. But it will have
to be a' specialized industry; that
is, canneries and dehydration
plants will have to make the pro
duction of the right varietes and
strains a particular effort on the
part of the men on the land, and
they will themselves have to lay
particular emphasis upon the put
ting up of a product that can be
sold to the first class trade as a
superior article as a salad bean,
for one thing; and for consump
tion, in the homes and hotels and
restaurants where quality products
are appreciated.
Good Crops to Grow
. The farmers who have tried
stringless beans here in the Salem
district have found this a good
crop to grow. It is a good crop
for the land; a leguminous crop
It is a quick crop; is taken off
six to eight weeks after planting.
There have ?been yields here as
high as five tons to the acre. With

present recognized prosperity and who are ever striving for greater and
yet greater progress as the years go by.
Btringless beans, three crops may
be taken off the land in one year
--for instance spinach, then beans,
then winter spinach or some other
fall sown crop. Beans make a
splendid rotation crop.
Harvest at Good Time
Bean harvest comes at a good
time, too, in the Salem district.
The planting time is the 10th to
the 15th of i June, and stringless
bean picking Interlocks with the
last pickng ot loganberries.
Beans will grow on 90 per cent
of our soils here. But this does
not mean that beans will make a
good crop on poor land or on in
differently cultivated land here.
They must be planted, in order to
get a good yield, on land that will
hold moisture well.
Fly in Ointment
The fly in the ointment of the
strinirl88 bean industry here in
the Salem distrct is the fact that
our canneries all use great quanti
ties of Bartlett pears. The pears
come in within a short season, by
wagon and truck and rail, and they
must be handled quicikly. They
will not keep for long. This over
loads the capacity of the canning
plants here; and the stringless
beans come at about the same
time. So the Salem canneries have
found that they could not safely
contract for stringless beans. It
gives them more than they can
take acre of at the season when
the beans must be handled. One
of the principal Salem canneries
has taken out its machinery that
was formerly used for the prepara
tion and canning of beans. It
takes specialzed machinery to
handle beans in a cannery.
Making a Specialty
But there is at least one Oregon
cannery, the one at Rainier, that
makes a specialty of canning
stringless beans, and it has built
up a reputation on the product.
A way should be found to get a
cannery in Salem that will make
a specialty of this line; or several
of them. The industry is of too
great importance in our cropping
scheme on our farmes to be allow
ed to lag. It should be developed
fully, along with all other lines
that will fit into the cropping
scheme, and that can be made to
pay.
In the mean time, it will be hop-

The Experience of the Poul
try Breeders in the State
of Utah Is Given
The organized poultry breeders
of Utah sent out of that state last
year 1G0 car loads of eggs and
20 carloads of poultry, all of
which has been made possible in
a single year under cooperative
marketing and distribution. The
organized poultrymen ot Utah
have also carried out an adver
tising campaign that has, contrib
uted to their success and put "Milk
White Eggs from Utah" on the
map. That the association has
made money is evidenced by the
fact that on October 10 the board
declared a patronage dividend of
16400. This amount returned 75
cents per case, or 2 cents per
dozen to each producer over and
above what he was expecting, this
in addition to the fact that the
average low price paid producers
this season was around 23 cents.
Some features in the operation
of cooperative marketing and dis
tribution among poultrymen in
Utah are unique as well as sug
gestive. For instance, we are in
formed by J. D. Harper that five
grading points have been estab
lished for the state associationand
the farmers bring their eggs or
send them with one of their mem
bers who is a "gatherer" and who
arranges with the producer a price
for delivering eggs weekly. This
agreement is independent of the
state association and varies ac
cording to the condition ot roads
and distance from market.
Any argument concerning this
price is settled between the mem
bers and the man whom they have
chosen to do this delivering for
them. The fee is deducted and
the gatherer receives his check
from the association headquarters.
Th3 organization record at the
Salt Lake City office from March
3, 1923. when the association first
started selling eggs, to October 27,
shows a total cost of $7903 for
gathering 1,410,109 dozens. This
averages a little over cent per
dozen cost. Considering the char
acter of their mountain roads, this
appears to be a reasonable figure.
The total coat of candling these
eggs was $10,218. 96 or less- than
l cent per dozen.

The Wisest and Best Way to Prevent Loss From Diseases
Is to Keep the Diseases From Getting Started Some
Plain Facts That Ought to Be Driven Home to Every
Beginner and to All Our Old Breeders, Too
By Wm. r. Mulligan
Poultry diseases cost the pro
ducers of Oregon thousands, per
haps hundreds of thousands of
dollars annually. How to combat
these diseases successfully is what
every poultryman wants to know.
It is a question that is causing the
state of California to spend ap
proximately $25,000 annually in
the study and investigation of
these diseases.
Oregon Xeeds KachlWork
Oregon needs a veterinarian de
votlnc his full time to the study
and investigation of poultry dis
eases. Some poultrymen are or
the opinion that the state college
should do something along this
liner" '
There are more than 25 men In
the . state devoting their time to
diseases of livestock. This num
ber includes federal, state and
county employees. Poultrymen
are asking why there is not at
least one man studying the poul
try disease problem. They believe
the answer is lack of organization.
Organization Would Get It
The dairymen and stcok men
are organized. When they want
another man to work on foot and
mouth disease, or contagious abor
tion, they present their demands
backed by an. efficient and repre-
seniative organization. When the
poultrymen are able to do likewise
they may expect to get recogni
tion.
The newly formed Oregon Poul-
trymen'a Association offers an op
portunity for the poultrymen of
this state to get together for the
common good of all. This is not a
buying or selling organization, its
prime motive being the advance
ment of the poultry industry in
the state. Any one interested in
this industry may join by sending
his or her name to the secretary,
II. E. Cosby, extension specialist
at the state college, with the sum
of $1.00.
The Present Alternative
For the present poultrymen
must depend on their own efforts.
By preventive and sanitation me
thods they can lsesen tjie sources
of infection. The most effective
means of combating any disease
is by preventing its occurence.
This is best done by removing
sick birds as soon as they are not
iced, cleaning the dropping boards
daily, frequent cleaning and disin
fection of drinking vessels, and,
above all. USING AN ALTERN
ATE YARDING SYSTEM.

more poultrymen out of business
than any other one factor.
Limited acreage is the curse .of
the poultry industry. It was the
specific recommendation of the
poultry group at the recent agri
cultural conference that no one
be encouraged ior inflenced to en
gage in the commercial poltry bus
iess on less than 10 acres of till
able soil.
Change Yards Often
Most disease germs will die in
a few months if the yards are not
U8nd. Hy changing yards often
one may prevent many of the com
mon diseases. Any attempt to
raise chicks on ground that has
been used for old birds will fai!.
The brooder runs should be
changed every year , at least, pre
ferably using the same ground but
once in two years;
The character of next season's
pullets depends upon the care giv
en the chicks. A sickly, weak,
chick raised on diseased ground
cannot produce a healthy pullet,
and now is the time to decide what
type of layers you want for next
year.
Chicken-pox, which has been
more or less prevalent in Oregon,
has been the subject of much dis
cussion among both poultrymen
and investigators.
About Vaccinal ion
Vaccination is hailed by some
as the best method of combating
this disease. Others claim it has I
been of no benefit. Some of the
foremost investigators, who have
given this matter careful study
for several years, are of the opin
ion that it is the most effective
method of treatment and preven
tion. Poor methods of care and feed
ing and unsanitary houses are
conditions favorable for its devel
opment. Vaccination is not rec
ommended before the appearance
of the disease among the flock.
The Most Difficult Disease
Coccidiosis is a most difficult
disease to control. It is caused
by a microscopic organism which
may live over in the soil for many
years. Soil infected with'this dis
ease should not be used for sev
eral years for raising chicks. The
infected area should be treated
with a disinfectant and the houses
as well. The bodies of birds
which die should be burned. A
mixture containing a 5 per cent
compound solution of cresol is re
commended by the United States
department of agriculture.
The Brooder House
Before putting the chicks in the
brooder house see that it ia thor
oughly cleaned and sprayed with
a good coal tar disinfectant. Put
the chicks on clean ground, give
them proper care during the first
few weeks, and getl them on free
range as soon as they can be taken
away from the heat, and yoaiwttl
have little trouble with disease.
It is a good plan to remove the
cockerels as soon as they can be
detected. This prevents over
crowding of the pullets, gives bet
ter ventilation in the houses and
helps keep down disease.
Sanitation, Clean Ground
Chapters could be written on
this Bubject of diseases of preven
tion, while the best authorities on
the subject of diseases admit that
they have merely scratched the
surface in their investigations. It
takes years to get results in work
of this kind. In the meantime
let us use the preventive measures
which are inexpensive, sanitation
and clean ground.

poultryman taking work at the
Oregon Agricultural college. The
above was written in response to
a request for an article on the
same subject by II. E. Cosby, ex
tension specialist on the poultry
industry. Mr. Mulligan has done
well, but the request to Mr. Cosby
is still on file at the eollege. Too
much emphasis cannot be put upon,
this matter right now, and in the
near future nor in the far future,
either. But right now especially,
when tbere is a poultry boom on
in the Salem district, which ought
to be fostered carefully. This
boom .is being aided by the Utah
ban on California baby chicks, and
by the fact that it is getting pret
ty well known all over the country
that ours is the best poultry dis
trict -in the world
That our. bens lay more eggs in
a year on the average than those
of any other section, and persist
longer- In this respect than those
of other sections
And for many other reasons too
numerous "to mention here.?
Oar people must keep this boom
going and' growing. Nothing of
more benefit is happening to the
Salem district, to the whole Wil
lamette valley. So let every one
interested boost the idea of keep
ing poultry aurroundingaxlean and
sanitary; keep out disease. 'And

They Have Made Some
Wonderful Records at the
Agricultural College
High performance hens are not
quite so common as many people
suppose, no matter what the breed
may be. Owing to the fact that
the White Leghorn is dominant
among egg farmers as a good per
former, it is quite natural that it
enjoys some distinction as a high
layer; but there are others. The
Oregon Agricultural college has
carried on research work with
poultry for several decades. Dur
ing this time it has developed a
splendid strain of good perform
ance Barred Rock ? hens, 12 of
which during this entire period
have hit the high spots by laying
over 300 eggs in 365 days. The
last one has just come under the
wire with her 300 eggs, and is
known as "M-506," and comes
from a family of noted perform
ers. A. G. Lunn, superintendent
of the poultry division, avers that
the achievement did not "just hap
pen," but is the result of years
of careful selection and mating for
increased production. The mother
of M-506 laid 600 eggs In the
first three years and her sire's
mother, 283 in the first year. Her
one full s;"8ter, with a record of
236 eggs with three full weeks
still to go, Is owned by the college.
Her granddam laid 303 eggs her
first year. M-506 was hatched
March 14, 1922, and laid her first
egg November 21. when 253 days
old. Her eggs average 23 oz.
per dozen. Total egg production
is more than three times the aver
age annual production of the
country.

times in the Slogan pages of The
