TP cgreat outstanding' ; weakness or lagrlculture Is that it Is looked Upon as a food industry alone.' It I 4n industry with only one outlet fer; its prod net.' This Is, of course; mistake. "r-V ..'. : J Take, for example, wheat grow- erating along 'these lines.' It not only produces : paper, t but the liquors : resulting from 'the cook ini processes are, treated In such a- manner as to cause them ' to yield - by-productsi such .a wood alchol, acetone and. Tarlous oils; These .can be used as fuel In the farmer's gas engines, f .- 7. vv' The quantities of such by-prod ucts obtained in the manufacture farmer Jn . fattening stock : on molasses, as so often Is done. : : -- Similar possibilities open out in the varous agriculture fields.' Take Jhe apples of .California for an example. There were 154,000 tona. of apples marketed in this state In ' 1924, just a small fraction of the nation's crop,- and it Is es timated that this amount was less than half ' of the actual amount grown. The balance was left on the ground to rot. It is the same in regard to : nearly all the . fruit crops of the country. They con tain most yaluable -products de veloped during the growing sea son, yet they are left to rot, thus losing completely the values which chemistry could and should save for 'the arts and other purposes. The : first step toward rehabili tating agriculture Is to' make It a real Industry - that utilizes every thing It produces, turning all Into values. The packing houses of Chicago Indicate the way. They have, become, more than food fact ories; -everything is turned Into value, so that In addition to being food ' prod ucers, the packing bouses axe recognized as medicinal andfertllizer industries. It is Indeed not much to say that . a' day - will come when next to the wheat elevator will event ually stand a paper, mill turning out the nation's paper: ; Equally certain is it that one ;day large chemical plants will raise themselves close to the large fruit warehouses, where all fruit not demanding the highest prices as human food will be converted Into products of such character as to command markets all over the face of the globe. 1 When agriculture has become Dates of Slogans in, Daily Statesman (In Weekly (With a few possible change Loganberries, October J, 1929 Prunes, October 8 " Dairying, October 19 Flax, October 23 Filberts, October 29 - Walnuts, -November 8 -Strawberries, November 12 Apples, November 19 .

Poor seed ' does., not get good yields j A successful' agri culture is. not ?built ! .by using screenings or culls for seed pur poses. Some districts have, been irreparably Injured because v of saving alfalfa, and clover screen ings for planting at home. Many neonle have experienced the "run- f Isg out" of potatoes' .and other s - . - . i . crops because they have saved the culls for planting. The Cream of the crop should be saved f6r planting. x : . jGood, plump, liea vy seed will be at av premium: in .western- Oregon this-' - yeair. f Because v Vf-A dry weather," llnsect. conditions, con eiderable rust' and variousr other unfaVorable,f actors, many lots of -see a contain much . tnat Is light in weight, shriveled, or otherwise unfit tor planting.- Among the grains' it is particularly desirable where possible to get certified seed to be sure that it is free from objectionable mixture, and to get seed that is thoroughly recleaned to take oat. as much as possible of the shriveled, Jight, and dis eased seed. - , ' , . Wheat of western Oregon is gen erally ligM thi3 year. Folks who can secure- their seed . from those fields that were well filled and quite free from disease will be at an advantage. Even such seed should t)e thoroughly recleaned to get a vigorous crop started this fall. Much of the winter oats is light, and .it will need thorough screening and cleaning to dispence with the light seed, the buck cheat, pink and other objection able material. Even " the ; vetches, usually so plump and well filled for western Oregon, are In many cases badly shriveled. Much of this seed that The Feeding of Live Stock Requires for Its Growth the By Products of Sugar Beet' Growing and Processing h driveled is of doubtful quality This Applies Also to Sheep Feeding and Dairy mq and the Breeding of Poultry j 5 y DECREES . iae cnange in me complexion: ion ana miia products and poul- a . - -? w nFnntial 1 or came ana sneeo raising." saia.

The Hungarian: and Common are not sd objectionable a mixture for hay purposes, but for seed pur poses'1 mixtures of "any of these vetches with the other; limits the salability of the crop. If you sow mixed vetches, and know that you are going' to use the material for hay silage, it is not so bad. How ever, one never knows at the sow ing time whether the hay or the seed market will be beat.t In such cases it is best, to sow; pure van eties rather than mixed lots. ;- This year after all of the fires in forest and burned , over land there will doubtless be a consider able amount of pasture i grasses. The common "burn' mixtures" that are on the market : usually- contain a lot of. cheap or other wise poor seed. . ; These mixtures are In many cases made , up of cheap, grass seed like cheat, mes quite, and rye grass, and scteeh? ings of other seed , that can not otherwise, be sold. '- Oftentimes these mixtures are expensive and contain .objectionable weeds. It is therefore particularly desirable. If sowing pastures this fall, to buy good seed and. make your own mixture.'' TMs prevents getting seed that is not worth the money. and against Introducing objecton able things into the . pasture. Among the best of the grasses for sowing are the common rye grass of western Oregon, orchard grass, tall i oat ' graBS: Kentucky blue grass, red .top, timothyj red, white, alsike and burr clover Of course not all of these are' 'used In all pasture; mixtures,; but.-from this group the most important grasses for this purpose may be chosen. Thfe rye grass Is of exceptionally good quality in western Oregon this year. v .' " I '. One of , the -safeguards against poor seed is. certification. There are many samples of grain and other crops that can i not be de termined by a laboratory analysis as to whether or not they are pure. Agricultural College experts visit the fields shortly before harvest and determine the amount ot mix ture that is present, j A threshed sample Is also examined. It Is determined, whether the seed Is good enough to certify. No seed Is certified except for the current year. Lists of certified seed may be had. from, the College, ' The Experiment '( Station t.also maintains a seed' testing .

For full particulars sea the windows of tha Rrntnh Woolea MUla, 42f State St. () E. L. Potter, professor of ani mal husbandry of the Oregon Ag ricultural college, told the States man a year ago that, within the last year, there had been -some little renewed interest i'ia the horse breeding industry . in i the state of .Oregon,, and in other parts of the United States. This interest had been due partly to enthusiasm, and partly to the fact that there was said to Te a Fd crease in the number of horses. At the present time there is little In crease In the price of horses in the state, and no marked reduc tion in the number of horses in the United States. , . . - The census figures and also the United States department of agri culture estimates show that the decrease within the last year, had been - less than three, per cent. It is estimated that, there were sev en teen and one-half million hors es and nearly five and one-halt million mules in the United States on January , l, -19Z5, compared with eighteen million horses and five and one-half million mules tor-January 1, 1924. The drawback with horse breed ing In the United States Is that there have been too many small horses and horsea of poor ; type. These horses have been used where good draft horses should have' been used." Farmers -and horsemen have used them becanse they were cheap and answered the purpose of real horses. - Many Horses Are Old A .great . many horBes at the present time are old' and figures show that fewer colts were raised within the last year than in prev ious years. -The stallion registra tion, board figures for the United States also show that? there has been about ten per cent decrease in; the number-of stallions stood for public service.! This decrease la i particularly 7 marked i In ;tbe state of Oregon, ' where there has been a decrease In the number of stallions stood for public service within tha last few years.- ' '"Etc Iloriea to Farm The ' census figures fort. 1920 show; that Oregon had 271,599 horses and 14,375 mules, or a to tal of nearly 2 8 6.00 Ohorses and mules. Oregon has approximate ly 50,000- farms.- We therefore have .'an average of nearly six horses5 per farm. With many of the farms of very small acreage, it is easy to see "that" there are plenty ; of v horsest to tak care of the farm 'work fin, Oregon at the presenttime.
