of correcting joll acidity. As soils

to increase. Boil drainage bins at

State Lime Board ,
, To enable Oregon farmers to
obtain agricultural lime at the
lowest possible cost, the legisla
ture of 1917 created a state lime
board, the members of which , are
appointed by the governor. The
legislature also made appropria
tions for the' construction of a
plant- for producing the agricul
tural .lime which has been con
structed at Gold Hill, Oregon.
The state lime board consists at
present of the following members:
Sam H. Moore, chairman, Corval
Hs; A. B. Cordley. secretary, Cor
valli8; John Shimanek, Scio; M. D.
Bowers, vjold Hill; C. T. Gilbert,

From Lime Users
I base my experience of the use
of Lime-on prune and cherry -trees
on. tests made for a neriod of, five
years, applying 9 Vfhfxtvr of
ground limerock and hydrated
lime. I consider flif ej goedfjn
vestment for trees, especially
cherry trees. The thirty-ton car
referred totI had spread v oyer
twenty acres -of" my f orVV acres of
nine-year old prune orchard with
a land plaster spreader. I expect
to use another car next year.
Gideon Stolz, Salem, Ore.
The car -of limerock was cer
tainly very beneficial to the land;
it has increased the production at
least one-third to one-half, and I
believe it a very profitable invest
ment. - John Benedict. Aumsvllle, Ore.
I bought two carloads of lime
from the state lime board last
year and have secured better re--j
suits with lime than from any of
the commercial fertilizers Lime
is the only-' fertilizer I have ever
used from which I have seen any
real benefit. - i

THIS WEEK'S SLOGAN
DID YOU KNOW that the lands in the Salem district
are as well adapted to the growing of sugar beets with .
high sugar content as the besCbeet sugar lands of Ger
many; that the great Salem fruit district; using and due
to use. vast quantities of sugar annually, can raise its
own sugar beets and establish and maintain its own
sugar beet factories, and can do it at a prof it that, in
the service of a self-contained prosperity and growth,
this ought by all means to be done, and done as soon as
possible; that there is ample capital here how, if as
sembled cooperatively under the right sort of auspices
and leadership, to accomplish this very desirable end,
and that it would not be a difficult matter to secure
sufficient sugar beet acreage in the Salem district to
supply a sugar beet factory, properly financed and man

enthusiastic about getting out

whipped a stream more enthusi

"I have eight lots here," said
Mr. Kaupisch. "I use six of them
for garden. I dug a well 60 feet
till it came to the 'gravel. The
water . never Changes level, no
matter how much I pump. I have
a one-horsepower electric pump.
I have 14 hydrants on my place,
which enables me to control irri
gation. It costs me about $2 a
month -for electric power. When
I took this place the neighbors
told me the soil was so poor I
shouldn't be able to raise much of
anything on it. Look at the soil
now; It Is as fine as flour, and
wonderfully fertile. I am a chem
ist. I analyzed the soil and found'
out what it needed. I added lime,
sulphur, phosphate, bone 5 meal,
nitrate of soda, ' sheep guano-,
chicken manure and barnyard
manure in proper proportions. No
soil, no matter how sandy or how

made as rich as this soil, by pro

From Holland I went to Belgium
to learn to make Roquefort

It is time well spent to visit the
fine new poultry plant that John
J. Roberts is just having complet
ed on his farm. First jot all Is
the poultry house with a, capacity
for 400 hens.; Itjs a modern, OAC
laying house. . . .... .. .
;Mr. Roberta f qd Will Pettyjohn,
who 'Is1 thq principal carpenter,
went, to Corvallis before construct
ing the building and got , the plans
from the hew laying house Just
recently put up there." The one
on Mt. no Deris larm is me oniy
one in Oregon outside of Corvallis.
The house measures 20 by 76
feet and is built entirely of first
class flooring. There are three
divisions. The first is a room for
feed and all poultry supplies, in
cluding a desk to keep accurate
accounts. The other two rooms
have each complete equipment for
200 hens. Many new devices are
used for food hoppers, . roosts,
nests and green feed holders. A
track carrier which is suspended
to the height of the dropping
boards makes disposal of all clean
ings an easy 'mater. An acre of
ground around the poultry house
will 'be divided into three sections
and , planted with green stuff to
provide runs that can be used al
ternately. . ,. - ' v"
: In addition to this equipment
for laying stock Mr., Roberts has
also had built modern houses for
young chicks, built after plans
from OAC. A brooder' house with
warm pipes and hovers-takes care
of 500 little chicks. Connected
with this fs a run for the chicks
which is 50 by 120 'feet: When
the chicks are partly grown they
are transferred to movable range
houses which have a capacity for
106 chicks. Three- of these are
already built. Each one measures
about '8 by - i 0 " feet. The roof Is
made of flooring and shingled.
The sides are entirety of wire net

runners so a food clean range can

Tests in sugar beet growing in
the Willamette valley have been
made over a period of nearly
twenty years They have shown
that we can produce the beets with
the proper sugar content and per
centage of maturity to make the
industry -successful here, and with
high enough jtonnage per acre to
make the growing of sugar beets
prof itable ' to j our farmers, aside
from the culural advantages In
rotation crops, and the value of
sugar beets t dairying and gen
eral stock breeding, with the tops
and molasses jfor feeding
Indeed, theire were tests some
fifteen years ago that showed
beets with a BUgar content as high
as 25 per cen4 which Is a remark
able showing.
The past' to crop years made
good showing on several of the
tracts tested; nd 1924 was a very
poor year for Jbeet growing owing
to a long dry Jspell In the growing
season. j
Last year a! better showing was
made, on the average, one tract
producing beets with an 18 per

Railroads Fell Down
There wasja project to grow
this year 500 acres or more of su
gar beets in the Salem district, to
be shipped to the factory at Bel-?
lingham. Wash., belonging to the
Utah-Idaho Sugar, company. The
proposition was for the growers to
stand 50 cents a ton of the freight
rate, the company and the rail
roads to absorb the rest, the con
tract to be the same as offered to
the growers iround Belllngham.
But, after a lot of promotion work
was done, the railroads fell down
on their part of the understanding.
They would not absorb their share

Sdgar beets were a very Im

cussions in the middle 90's in Ore
gon. , The experiment stations at

and in the Willamette valley. , A
very few tests were made In the
lower 'Columbia and In the coast
district
Beets Practicable
; These tests! were principally
small plantings of the best sugar
beet seed available. - In some In
stances yields were secured, but
principally beets were . gathered
and tested as to their , sugar con

showed that the various sections

TThese trials were carried out
through a considerable number of
years. After that time a factory
was located atj La Grande. This
factory was situated in. the heart
