Plants Meeded'in the Crude Drug Trade, Which May
Be Grown and Supplied By Our Farmers
(The United States Department
of Agriculture recently revised its
Farmers .Bulletin 663. -which was
Issued .several, -years ago, entitled
"Drug Plants Under 'CultiTatibnr
"Interest In the' possibility of
deriylng! profit from iho growins
of drnxlants.4a.lncreasing',year-J
ly," says this bulletin. It . men
tions the fact that annually; large
sums of money .are expended for
crude drugs imported 1 from ' for
eign countries, "where they are
produced under conditions of soil
and climate resembling those of
many localities in the United
States;, and increased attention is
being directed to the home supply.
"At the close of the year 1919
(after .the warl there existed a
general and widespread shortage
in botanical crude drugs, and
prjees in consequence had reached
unusually high levels," says this
bulletin. (The prices are still
generally high).
Following is a list of drug
plants, made up In this bulletin
"to - give information concerning
their culture which may. be help
ful to persons who are considering
the production of drug plants on a
commercial scale. (Lack of space
forbids anything but a bare men
tion of the plants)." Following is
the list:

How to Ship Baby
Chicks By Mail
In Oregon the bulk of day-old-
chick shipments are sent out by
express. In cases where , the
transportation covers considerable
numbers, this is probably the most
satisfactory method, but where the
number is small, recourse can now
be had to parcel post, provided
the conditions of the federal post-
office regulations are complied
with. For the benefit of purchas
ers of day-old-chicks to be deliv
ered by parcel post mail, and, also
in the interest of shippers, we
quote from the regulations : ,
r "For the present, parcels con
taining day-old-chicks must not be
insured. Shipments of day-old
chicks are to be transported out
side of mail bags. It Is recom
mended that the shipper affix
legibly written . or printed notice
to each such package, giving the
following instructions, which pos
tal employees are to carefully ob
serve: '"-
'day-old-chicks; this side up;
handle with special care; do' not
give food or drink to the chicks'ln
transit; dispatch as quickly as pos
sible and deliver to addressee
promptly upon arrival at office of
destination. Do. not place "jack

Why Cannibalism
- ? ; in the Chickens
Writing in Poultry Life, Fred
H. Cockell gives : the f principal
causes ot cannibalism among
chicks as lack of animal food, sun
spots on the floor (causing toes
to - look : attractive) overfeeding
(causing inactivity) and being too
closely confinedi ; He adds: - "In
cannibalism; however, once it gets
started, the poultry man has 'a real
problem. The best method of
combating it is to darken the
room, put several Inches of cut
straw or other similar material on
a brooder floor to encourageexer
cise; slice beets, potatoes, or other
succulent roots and feed to chicks,
also to encourage - exercise, and
get them out of doors as much as
possible. Several Instances of the
successful use of common salt in
the drinking water to stop canni
balism have come under my no
tice. - In this method a level tea-
spoonful of salt is put into each
ealion of water. and " no other
drink is given. Inactivity is prob
ably " the greatest ' contributing
qauso of this pernicious habit."
VALUE OF GREBJ
; POULTRY FEEDS
It Lies in the Material That
Makes the Feed Show
Its Green Color '
(While the following applies
especially in its present applica
tion to California conditions of
this season, it is of value "here in
the Salem district -where, how
ever, the matter of ! providing
green feed is a -simple one. The
writer is Henry-W. Kruckeberg,
poultry editor of the Los Angeles
Times) : '
; "As the season is still somewhat
short Qa moisture. It Is important
that poultry farmers and back
lotters grow, at least a portion of
the green feed that their fowls
will require before another plant
ing season. ' This is not over dif
ficult, ) provided there is water
available for irrigation. Owing to
scant rainfall this year, the usage
of water will be somewhat cur
tailed before the summer is Over,
hence Intensive methods in the
cultivation and care of plants will
be in order. In some localities
crops (alfalfa, kale, clover, barley.
etc.) have, made. a poor growth.
and In some Instances will be a
failure. In lieu of these, grow
crops of Swiss chard and stock
beets. If conditions, are negative
to these crops, then grow sprouted
barley, which, canbedone in a
small space and - with little ex
pense.' In the Sonoma egg laying
contest, sprouted barley was a
large factor in the green food
supply. M. C Clayton, superin
tendent,' partitioned - off a small
room, 8 by 10, and installed racks
to hold . sixteen wire-bottomed
trays, each 24 inches by 36 Inches
and 3 inches deep. Each tray of
the above size has an inside area
CRUDE DRUG GROWING
. Oregon must 'eventually become the
dnig garden of the world." ,
That is not the idle assertion of a tyro or
a dreamer
It is the statement of one of the leading
authorities of Oregon, Prof. F. AV Gilfil
lan, assistant professor of pharmacy of the
Oregon Agricultural college.
We lead in peppermint now; making
menthol of the highest quality produced in
this country, and the greatest number of
pounds to the acre.
And we lead in cascara bark
And we can lead in a long list of articles
needed for making the medicines ojF com

This is a great field.
Where is the man to take the lead in its
development? t , .

shows the home in West Philadel
phia where she lived by day with
her first husband, Samuel Beswick,
of 748 square inches and consti
tutes one day's green feed for 750
hens.' The barley is not fed until
the green sprouts reach a length
of four inches. The value of
green ' feed lies largely in the
chlorophyll or green coloring mat
ter, and this is not present in any
vegetation unless the color of the
plant is green. To sprout barley,
first soak the grain in warm lime
water forty-eight hours; then pour
off this water . and rinse with
warm lime water again . Now
spread the soaked grain in the
trays to a depth of about one Inch
and place the' trays in a warm,
light room (temperature 65) then
sprinkle with warm water twice a
day and stir the grain until the
white roots are well started. Con
tinue ' the watering until the
sprouted grain is fed. Ten pounds
of barley will in twelve days fur
nish about thirty pounds of won
derfully appetizing succulent green
feed. - Feed your laying hens all
the green feed they will eat and
you will be repaid with good
health, higher production, lower
mortality and greater profits.
Hens should- consume about equal
parts -by weight of grain, mash
and. greens, j . '
"in the matter of growing crops,
methods of planting, care and cul
ture, consult the seed catalogues.
It is not so much a matter what
you plant as It is that you do
plant in modest variety and ot the
standard green foods recognized
by poultrymen. By - putting the
soil in good tilth and with water
available .for. irrigation, it is not
an overdifficult task to grow lib-j
eral quantities of green poultry
feed on a comparatively small
area of ground."

DID YOU KNOW that Salem is the market of the crude
drug supplies or Oregon; that every farm in this district
ought to have a drug garden; that we are already leading in
peppermint production of first quality; thai cascara sagrada
has to be cultivated or it will run out, and the world must
have more and more of it; that the Dean ot, the School of
Pharmacy, Oregon Agricultural College, has repeatedly said
that drugs can be grown at one-tenth the expense and with
twice the yield that they can be produced in Michigan and
Minnesota, and Prof. F. A. Gilfillin of that department says
Oregon must eventually become the drug garden of , the
world, and that the possibilities are here for the develop
ment of a great drug garden industry? ' ; r r

ties: "19 pounds 'dry oats 36
pounds corn and wheat; 22 pounds
mash, dry or moist; 18 quarts of

pounds of kale and other greens.
' It will, be noticed that the dif
ference Is slight and. is revealed
chiefly in the, first two items. II

fifty proposition. What the Leg
