' nd ar especially good for sheep
' lrTious to and during, the lamb

vanced by a number of experienc
ed farm crop professors. Sun-
nower silage is really appreciated

I ?Bunflbwefs, howeyen are better
aapted , to dry land silaze iro-
I uctllo than most of the common-
Y , grown silage crops, although
' some hare experienced difficulty
wun tnem. One trouble Is that
sunflowers that mature too late
are planted. The best results are
obtained with sunflowers that ma
tfere early so that they may be
put into the silo when the seed
Juts reached the good hard dough
stage. At this stage the sunflow
ers are most nutritious and palat
able. . Experiments which have
been carried. put Indicate that the
addition of from 5 to lb pounds
of salt to a ton .of sunflowers
STeatly improves the palatability
and quality of the silage.
Several lots of early maturing
sunflowers , have been developed
Is the northwest , and reasonable
quantities of seed. are available. It
appears that the sunflowers should
Teceive some .attention for silage
In the' defections. There is no
occasion, however, to grow sun
flowers on irrigated lands where
peas, oats and corn may be suc
cessfully produced for silage. In
districts where crops have to be
produced under dry land or frosty
conditions, sunflowers offer great
promise and have shown them
selves capable of large production.

Chief Dairy State Makes
Most Use of Convenience,
to Make More Use
; a
! By A. L. HAECKER
--j Over a half million silos are
now in use in the United States,
bjit still we are only 20 per cent
supplied. As the silo has proven
an Important factor in the econ-
. omical production of stock and
stock products, we should put it
to larger use. Experiments and
tests have proven that the silo
will save 10 cents or more on the
cost of producing a pound of but
ter; the dairy .farmer who lacks
a! silo has a chance to save this
10 cent loss., ,.
I The American 4alry. farmer can
compete successfully with his for
eign competitor, providing he uses
good dairy cows, and feeds them
economically. We have the ad
vantage of , a cheaper and better
supply oC raw. material such as
-forage and grains'; we hare more
fertile soil and a much cheaper
method of, tillage.. We need not
worry over , competing with, any
& country providing we use .modern
and economical , methods, , among
jWnien ine suq certainty is one oi
toe most important. . . t
Dairying largest Branch
Dairying is our largest branch
of , agriculture, and . we must see
' to It that it survives. We can not
afford to surrender the field - to
competitors. Two' and one-half
billion, dollars are paid for dairy
.products annually to producers in
this country.'; The industry fur
nishes cash throughout the year;,
steady employment for old and
young; utilizes the cheap, raw ma
terial of the farm, adds fertility
to the land, and promotes frugal
and Industrious habits, all of
which are beneficial to all our
i people.
: A good many states have ex
pressed the ambition to become
prominent in dairy production!. It
Is a commendable idea, but it can

thorough understanding - of econ

SILAGE FED BEEF
BIGS Stfl Pill
A Portion of This Beef Was
berved to President and
Mrs. Cdolidge
That the very highest aualitv
beef is made with silage in the ra
tion is not generally known. Yet
the grand champion beef' carcass
at the 1925 International Live
Stock' Exposition, which was sold
for the world's record price of $7
a pound, a;portion being served
president and Mrs. Coolidge at the
'annual convention of the Ameri
can Farm Bureau federation, was
silage fed. His breeder and feed
er, W, W. Wilson of Indiana, fed
his purs bred Aberdeen-Angus
steer a liberal allowance xof silage
in the ration, according to the in
formation given out by him.
That the Wilson steer is not the
exception to the general rule of
practical beef cattle breeders and
feeders is seen by a poll of all,.the
prise winners at the 1925 Inter
national Exposition in beef car
cass classes. Hall Orchards of
Michigan, who had two prize win
ners; Judge S. C Fullerton of
Oklahoma, and C. L. Taggert o
Pennsylvania, all fed silage in the
rations of their prize winners to
produce the highest quality of
beef at the greatest show in the
world. Mr, , Taggert of Pennsyl
vania is a consistent winner in the
carcass v classes, having shown
grand champions once or twice
and always being in the money
at the International for the 'past
;ten years or more.
County Court to Relocate
Road, Condemn Property
Regardless- of the protests
against the proposed work to be
done on the Rosedale-Fairview
market road, the county court will
relocate the road, condemning the

According to the court, certain
property owners had been block

TOCOHISSIOie
illS ASSESSORS
Letter Calls Attention to
Some Inequality of Taxa
tion; Urges Action
At the present time consider
able inequality exists in the as
sessment of manufacturing and
mercantile properties in Oregon
according to a letter written by
Earl Fisher, state tax commis
sioner, to the county assessors. He
further advises the assessors how
to proceed under the new taxation
laws, which were passed at the
34th legislative session.
The letter was dratted after the
state tax commission yesterday
entered an order making the use
of the so-called confidential ques
tionnaire discretionary with the
county assessors. Members of the
tax commission held that the new
law provided ample machinery for
the levying of, equitable property
assessments, and that tne ques
tionnaire was not necessary for
property assessment purposes.
Under a resolution adopted by
the state tax commission informa
tion necessary for tax levying pur
poses shall be obtained by the
county assessors in any manner
they may. desire, subject to the
right of appeal of the taxpayer to
the county board of equalization,
and .examination and test of the
work by the state tax commission.
"Information obtained by this
office," readi the tax commission
er's letter to the county assessors.
indicates that 80 taxpayers in
Multnomah county with a report
ed book value of $16,758,056
were assessed at 11,846,165 or
11.02 per cent. These taxpayers
had a net Income of 13,010.871 or
17.97 per cent on the book value.
"Another group of 80 taxpayers
with a book value of 128,331,913
were assessed at 113,197,388 or
46.58 per cent yet they showed net
earnings of oily 2. 736,880 or
9.6.6 per cent on the book value.
"These figures are offered as
an illustration of the injustice
that has grown into the assess
ment of business property of a
more or less Invisible character
and we trust the facilities afford
ed by the act of the recent legis
lature will enable the assessors to
place the valuations of such prop
erties upon a fair and equitable
basis.
'jBy the terms of the resolu
tion adopted by the state tax com-
mission, it .will be observed that
the commission Is not prescribing
the form of report which the as
sessor shall require of the' taxpay
er, but leaves it to the assessors of
the respective, counties', f
"The use of the confidential re
ports, heretofore supplied you, ip
left In your discretion. li yon
think the necessary information
upon which to base intelligent
assessments can i be procured to
better advantage by personal in
terview or inspection of the tax
payers books than by the use of
special reports, that is a matter
for you j to determine In comply
ing with the new act.
"The state tax commission re
serves the right, of course, to test
the local assessments and make
any revision in the assessed valua
tions that it deems proper and ne
cessary in order to provide a more
equitable apportionment of taxes,
a sthe law prescribes."
The new law authorizes county
assessors to demand' inventories
of business concerns, and inspect
the books and accounts of such
taxpayers. The state tax commis
sion, under the law, may correct
any unjust or unfair assessments
by' county assessors.

time at the club luncheon Wed
nesday, William McGilchrist, Sa

fellow club members a glimpse of
only the fore part of his around
the world trip just recently com
pleted. McGilchrist was abroad nine
months, visiting practically every
point of interest! in Europe, in
cluding his old home near Glas

to leave his listeners on the slopes
of Switzerland as the 1 o'clock
whistle announced, "it is finished,"
a motion was presented that the
speaker be asked, to continue his

Thrde Salem Men Among
Directors; Plans for Organ
ization Formed
With reestablished hope for the
future of Cosmopolitan Stores,
Inc.. new directors J and officers
have been elected and plans for a
highly efficient organization have
been perfected following a stock
holders meeting here this week.
Tight credit and heavy ac
counts have been attributed as
the reason for the assignment ef
fected a few weeks ago, but the
solvency of the firm is unques
tioned, assets being nearly three
times the liabilities.
The newly elected board in
cludes three Salem men, Lloyd T.
Reynolds, F. B. Thielsen, and W.
I. Staley; two from Portland, H.
M. Roome and C. R. Ingram; J.
O. Holt of Eugene, past president;
and H. Steupfeld of McMinnville.
The discontinuation of the
stores at Silverton and Indepen
dence may prove feasible in clear
ing up the business of the com
pany, but as yet, no definite an
nouncements have been made from
the local offices.
