LIME FOR OREGON SOIL DISCUSSED Commenting orj a New Pam phlet Issued by South ern Pacific Company The Southern j pacific company has issued an interesting little pamphlet on the 'subject of lime rock for use on -western Oregon soils. It Is all the, more interest ing because it deals sparingly in theory and bears; down hard on ex perience. It quotes soil experts to the effect that crop production can be- increased ' from' 25 to 50 per cent by application of pulverized lime rock and asserts that from 40.000 to BO.OOoltons of lime should be used annually on the soils of western Oregon, whereas the present annual average is only about 2.000 tons;; but the remain der of the pamphjet is devoted to extracts from letters from users of lime. - pi One of these letters is from the E. Clemens Horst Company, of In dependence, whose hop1 yard near Eola is one of the; largest in Amer ica. H. X. Ord, the manager says; "The cars of J lime that we bought, were for j our own use as fertilizer and we! applied them all on our own ground. We paid 1 4 a ton f. o. b. cars Gold Hill. Our production was increased 25 per cent by the use pt this lime and we consider it ; a most profitable investment because lime is the best fertilizer for? our soil. -The rock was of the c proper quality, clean and sufficiently pulverized 1 1 BACON AND LARD SALEM, OREGON to be applied directly to the soli, and we received, our benefit this year.. We would have used sev eral hundred tons more lime this year if we had been able to apply it to the land at the proper time." Another well known grower who contributes an opinion is Gideon Stolz, of Salem, who tells of the results obtained; from lime applied tq orchard land! He gays: j . 'Ipurchased a thirty-ton car of ground lime rock from the state lime board, Gold Hill. The board makes a charge of a ton, loose in the car, minimum car thirty tons. - :. ' ' ,! '. I i -f . ; ; - I "l base my experience of the! i - . I use of lime on! prune and cherry trees on tests made for a period of five years, applying a mixture of ground lime rock and hydrated lime. I consider lime a good in! vestment for trees, especially cheri ry trees. The! thirty-ton car rej f erred to I had; spread over twent ty acres of my forty acres of nlne4 year-old prune orchard with a land plaster spreader. , I expecUo use another car next year. 1 - c Here is an extract from a letter from George E, Dix, of Marshfield, whose experience with lime has had. to do witty grain crops and? pasture. He says: , . "From one year's; observation,' I consider it was k profitable invest ment to use lime on my land. Last October, I applied two tons to the acre on sandy loam soil before seeding with oajts, clover was knee high at time of cutting. I esti mate the lime increased these crops twenty-fiye per cent and it has left me with a wonderful green pasture for this fall's graz ing." :-..,. V , i ' '-:! I ; .,. . ; Lime is needed on western Ore gon soils because of their acid con dition. ' Thi3 is not a limestone country, and the water is wholly "soft." Those; who have' come here from the middle west, where the water is heavily impregnated with lime, will undertand the dif ference. Because of our heavy winter rainfall, there Is much leaching out' of the lime content as cultivation proceeds. . . ! ! The subject of lime application to Oregon soils has been consider ed so important that the state lias established a lime plant at Gold Hill,; which provides " pulverised lime rock at a rate of $4 per ton in bulk at the plant. The freight rate per ton from Gold Hill to Sa lem in carload lots is $1.90, mak ing the-cost $5.90 per ton here. Average practice so far has been to apply about two tons per acre. ; Application of lime to the soil ought to receive more attention than It has had in the past, ft is not to be advised that land owners should lime' their entire holdings, but they should, at least experi ment with it on small plots. ,L In creased production from the soil means lower cost of production, and lower cost of production is one of the great agricultural needs.'; DAIRY Perfectly Pasteurized Milk and Cream Phone 725 BOU2E 260 North High Street.

DUILDIBITE ' OF POULTDY PLANT Some Advice in this Field Offered for the Beginners in the Industry ' There is a discussion of sites and buildings for poultry plants, especially for beginners. In last Sunday's Issue of the Los Angeles Times. Following are substan tially the conclusions, . and they are' applicable here in the Salem district: j In the selection of a site and the laying out of a poultry plant there are a great many factors which must be duly considered if the poultryman expects to attain any great degree of success. Chief of these, perhaps, is the consider ation of the health of the flock, and the efficiency with which the plant can be handled to show economy of j production. Needless to say, the site selected should have excellent drainage as a guar antee against- damp quarters. While a hilly or rolling piece of land offers! good drainage condi tions, fairly level land can : be drained equally as well. Plenty of good soil for the growing of greens is necessary in the well regulated plant, as it does not generally pay to buy; this part of the! ration, j In selecting the type of poultry house to build, the poultryman has almost as wide a variety of plans to choose from as the home builder who is looking for the last word In modern bungalows. Therefore, to set up one style of house as the most ideal, would be like advocating one breed or per haps one variety of poultry for everyone engaged in the Industry. The builder of a poultry house, like the builder of the. bungalow, almost 'invariably discovers after the building is 1 completed that some Improvement might be add ed.' In other words, 'the construc tion of a poultry house, like the selection of a breed, is a matter of taste which must be decided by each Individual poultryman. To be sure, the beginner should be guided to a large extent by the ex perience of others Who have made Esuccess in a practical way. To be practical, the house should not be ! too expensive if a good profit I Phone 102 164 South Commercial Street THEO. M. BARR .

Many poultrymen r have ; made a good profit in the business of building cheap and unattractive houses, centering: their attention more on the selection '-of good stock. From a cold-blooded . business stand point, the poultryman who houses his nock at a cost of, say 50 cents per bird, is in' a better position to cash in on his investment than the poultryman j who pays $4 per bird for their quarters, provided the cheaper house ' properly shelters the birds and Is kept free from vermin. ' The ; overhead, which: in each instance should be I charged to the flock, would quite naturally leave more; net profit to the one who has less ; capital invested! in construction of poultry houses. There" is; another angle to the situation, however, that should! be considered.fi Almost every poul tryman has; bis home located near his poultry plant, and in the ma jority o( cases, the owner builds his plant so that it will be in keep ing with! Instead, of casting reflec tions 6h his own "dwelling. After all is: said and written on the subject of poultry-house con struction, the poultryman is the one who must decide on. the cost of the plant. The main! point' he should consider is to see that the houses are ! made comfortable I for the birds, and easily accessible for the attendant, which convenience will be an; economy of time con sumed in keeping it clean. In the ordinary commercial flock, :the style of poultry house most used Is the long stationary house,: or the intensive system adapted, to large flocks. ; While this central ized system offers a saving of steps, there is greater danger from fire or diseasethan where the col ony house is used.

In spite of these hp lards, however, the aver age poultryman favors the long house because of its convenience. The rank and file of Pacific coast poultrymenare quite unani mous in selecting the ; open front or semi-open front type of house as more nearly meeting the re quirements of the flock. Whether the poultry house be of the shed type, the combination, the gable, the monitor, the semi monitor, or "A" shaped type, it makes little difference if the type chosen brings results, for in the (Continued on page 10 Ill .
