FILLS LARGE AD USEFUL PLACE HERE Puts Out a Large Line of Feeds and Flour and Keeps Thor oughly Abreast of the Times In Supplying the Needs of the Industries on the Land and the Requirements of the People in Our Cities and Towns The Cherry City Milling com pany baa (or ; a number of years occupied a large place in the in-! dustrial life of the capital city. Ross C. Bidwell, who has had charge , of these operations since December, 1925, was chemist and milling superintendent for the great Sperry Flour company for fifteen years, before coming to Salenv He was born in Indiana and Is a graduate of the university of Indiana, where he specialized in chemistry. He went almost di rectly to the Sperry people after his graduation, and was on the go between the various Sperry plants a good deal of ; the time. It Is a -fortunate thing for the Salem district that, when he got ready to settle down, Mr. Bidwell selected this city 1 " Because his services are useful here, tn many ways. 7 They are valuable - in helping poultry in dustry, and our dairy Industry, In further expansions and improve ments.; ..,..! On July 12th, 1925, fire de stroyed the old plant of the Cherry City Milling company, at the corn ier of Trade nd Church streets. But P. W. Geiser. then manager, was on the Job immediately and preparing to carry on.' The ware house property at the corner oi n j .-a Tiffffi ktreets was se-, Mhfiiif ni) additions pro-! vlded" for. Within 60 days, the . fMd nart of the company was q better shape than before the fire, and the warehouse facilities were as greatf even larger. ; ; Mr. Geiser Is still Interested in the business, but the state of his Health requires outside work, and he is giving a good deal of his lme to bis real estate. Besides the Salem plant, the Cherry City Milling! company has the warehouse at Derry. to ac commodate the 1 business on the west" side of: the river. The new min'bas'mueh more modern ma chinery thanf the old; - automatic scales, etc.. etc, It is designed to do a lot if work in a.small floor spaced It is self contained. The feed' mill has 100 tons capacity and the2 flour mill 7 5 barrels ca pacity. This company makes molasses stock teed and many other spec ialties "In Stock 'feeds. ' Hours and Feeds The flours are principally the Oak Blend, a hard wheat bakers' flour, and Cherro Bakers; Cherro patent, a hard wheat family flour, and Economy and Perfection for pastry, and Cherro Graham and Cherro whole wheat flour for dark : breads. ! " ' They also make Cherrp rolled oats, Cherro pancake flour, Cherro whea tola. etc. . In feeds, they go far, in num bers and In territory served. In poultry feeds, they make Cherro and Capitol scratch' feed; Cherro growing scratch, Cherro chick feed. Cherro egg mash. Capitol egg; mash, Cherro egg builders. Cherro development mash. Cherro chick mash, Capitol development mash, etc. V. ' Have Many Lines In dairy feeds they make Cherro cow chow. Cherro molasses feed. Cherro mixed feed, and they also make Cherro bog chow. They also rarry many poultry and dairy; specialties. They deal in feed wheat, ground wheat,, seed wheat, and seed oats 'and rolled and ground oats In all the tuaual lines. Also make, up barley and corn In all the various ways, and of course have mill run. bran and shorts. - - - They also deal In vetch and clover seeds, and they do custom cleaning of these seeds. . ( A Tfew Poultry Feed Thronghout the east and south, the,leadlng poaltrymen have been carrying on experiments In feed ing, under the direction of min ing chemists and experiment sta tions This work has been espec ially actlre In Ohio. The idea was to bTing out a mash wRh the prop er ingredients for building an egg. Lesides furnishing the flesh and health requirements to , do avray with scratch feed, which Is waste ful and has to be fed, at certain intervals and takestha time and of the poultrymas, and ties lArz down - and makes hlm tin necesaary: -expense.' ' : ''Z'-. llr. BiJwell followed these ex- periments, and he has for about a year been putting out this new mash, and an . Increasing demand for it has come from our poultry men. ' i Fills Real Need The new nrksh has 16 ingred-i lents. Including sufficient mater ial to supply what is needed in green feeds necessary for laying hens.' - Where the poultryman has plenty of running - water he can use this mash and go 'away and leave his flock for three days. Any one wha attends to poultry realizes how important this is in making this industry a more de sirable one. No Guessing There Mr. Bidwell has .at the mill a modern, up to date chemical lab oratory. He has a strict chemical test on all feeds. He does not guess. He takes no chances, neither do the customers buying feeds. This makes his services of ' really great importance to our dairymen, as well as our poultry men and others. ' Keep on With Grain Mr. Bidwell thinks our farm ers ought to keep on raising grain. They should rotate their crops. They .should milk more cows. They should grow still more corn. The Cherry City people use four I cars a month of corn, grinding and cracking ; it. ' iu uer yaier unit. u iud - son of Mr. Bidwell, and In other industries Including her linen mills and her sugar factories that are coming. Salem is getting some high class men In the Industrial chemical world, the most Import ant of the present day. No other class of people can do more good here in the development of our industries. LAB1SH PEAT IID STUDIED Blf EXPERT Brief Survey Completed of . These Lands in Several Sections of State - (The department of industrial journalism of the Oregon Agricul tural college has just furnished to The Statesman the following valuable preliminary bulletin on the "Peat Lands of Oregon." by Prof. W. L. Powers, of that In stitution:) i rzA. brief survey has just been completed . of the chief areas of organic soils or peat lands in this state in company j with Dr. Alfred P. Dachnowski-Stokes of the U. S. department of agriculture, one of the leading ; peat experts of the world, a Some fine specimens of different kinds of peat have been collected for exhibit and labora tory study. ) The peat in the Lower Klamath marsh contains a coarse, brown, fibrous material in the surface soil which is a residue from tules and some sedges, i The second and third foot Is .we! decomposed and at an average depth of 2H to 3 feet a sedimentary muck Is en countered composed ; largely of colloidal material derived from organic : and inorganic sources. This material is cheesy when wet and horny wjben 'dry. The color when wet is , gray and when dry Is almost white. This material was formed in shallow water large ly from. JChe boat-snaped siliceous shells of microscopic growth pop ularly called "diatoms' and the resulting material ia diatomaceous earth.' The soil, when subdued and provided with drainage and supplemental irrigftlon to con trol moisture. Is very suitable -for forage crops such, as Alsike clover and timothy. r j ii -'v : i I Soundings were taken in Upper Klamath marsh opposite Rocky Point and the peat here was found to extend to a depth of 18 feet. Much of this accumulation is from sedges , or flat I leaved water grasses and at a depth of 7 to 10 feet , the same sedimentaryrdla tomacftons material Is found as that, which odenrs In Lower Klam ath" marsh. . r ;- r' - -ir ; The i reaction ' of S the flipper Dates of Slogans in Daily Statesman !

Dr. Stokes was much impressed with the good system of water control for irrigation and deep drainage on the Targe marsh reclaimed by Geary Brothers and stated that in all his travels over peal lands In America and Europe he . had not seen a more model, large scale development. . t Lake Labish "Beaver Dara" ; Peat on the famous Lake Labish. north of Salem, Is woody, derived from willows and related growths and these residues are in an advanced state of decomposi tion so that they can be readily cut through with any sharp in strument. Below the surface soil of woody peat is a fine fibrous sedge peat in which at a nine to 1 0 feet depth is a layer of marl from shells. In this marsh sound ings showed an accumulation of peat over the normal mineral soil as much as 17 feet in depth. On account of the presence of a woody peat of a fibrous but soft, readily decomposable character and the presence of lime in the form of marl and the depth of this bog, it is regarded as of very good qual ity, and these things explain ; Ms remarkable productiveness. The growth of mint and onions Dr. Stokes regarded as exceptionally fine."-' - ? Ml! Samples taken from ? the Beaver drainage di8trtet near Clatskanie In Columbia county show that the peat there ia , largely from sedges with some willow residues and some silt in-wash, especially in the surface layers. This peat was of fair depth, the normal soil being encountered at about the .7 foot level. : While lees decomposed and of less depth than the peat on Lake Labish. the silt in-wash helps to make this a fairly well balanced soil and; suitable for trucking Salem Wicker Farm! tare ' Manufacturing Go.

Shrinkage cracks in this soil, due to the , shrinkage of colloidal or ganic and clay material, can be largely avoided by the use of ground limestone, and two tons an acre would be a suitable in itial application, according to Dr. Stokes. The peat( bogs near Astoria, such as at Delmoor, were found to be derived i from woody material such as the residues from spruce, pine, alder, and associated growths. . These resinous or hard materials are slow to decompose and are in a less decomposed con dition than in the other kinds of peat examined. There is a con siderable admixture in places of sedge and 1 sphagnum moss resi dues. The deep subsoil Is largely sedge peat. Soundings taken to a depth of , 18 feet did not reach the bottom of the peat accumula tion on : the marsh ' at ' Delmoor. This peat was . regarded as very suitable for cranberry culture, and the growth of cranberries com pares very favorabaly with that of northeastern states, : according to Dr. Stokes. The weed problem on these marshes is a serious one and control of the water loving weed growth could be simplified if the outlet drains could be deepened and some additional interior or under drains provided. More Study Needed . Samples collected should help in determining the origin, char- acter, and methods of utilization of these lands and should help correlate - them with the estab lished classes of peat lands of the world.' Further Investigations are needed to direct the fertilizer prac tice with special (crops such as mint and onions on these lands.

NIK HERE STUDY IRHIi ' . .a , r . - Compare St. James River Valley Conditions With Those of Willamette How the scientific develop ments of the west are reacting back to the east was markedly shown at Corvallis on Monday of this week. Two men from Vir ginia,. C. E. Seity, agricultural engineer of. the Virginia ..Poly technlcal college at Blacksburg and B. G. Locher. a large land owner and rancher of that state, visited the agricultural depart ment of, O. A. C. to learn how to irrigate. They were taken in charge by W. L. Powers, chief of the de partment, and shown over the ex perimental farm, with special at tention given to the two pumping plants and . the crops irrigated ly them, especially the alfalfa tracts. The visitors described the mois ture conditions in the valley of the St. James river, where they live and are proposing to Irrigate as about the same as those found In the Willamette valley. It any thing they have more rainfall in the summer months than we have here, but they say "it is not de pendable, and we want results we can depend on, and to have that we must have water for our crops when the crops require It. - And so we are going to irrigate as a sup plement to our summer rainfall, Mr. Locher, the rancher, already had in 50 acres of , alfalfa, and this year had put 'water on 15 acres and found the results so pleasing that . next -season he will increase his alfalfa acreage to 200 acres. His ranch lies in the low meadows along the. St. James riv er, and he will pump from that stream. Mr. Powers showed them the alfalfa grown on the experi mental . farm , and told them be could grow four tons to the acre without water, and seven tons to the acre with irrigation, and the cost of the irrigation is about 23 per acre. He also told them that with' irrigation-he could increase the yield of beans three bushels per acre and potatoes 90 bushels per acre.. ,. -' i - The visitors go from here to the California State Farm at Davis.

The Penees are among the best farmers we have. .A considerable portion of their land Is muck land, and it requires a strong pull In plowing, hence' the use of the tractor.
