The'tfotal crop fori OregofJ this year, which means principally the Salem district, is somewhat small er than last year, but not much. It will reach about 400 drums, or ;1SO,008 pounds, valued at around a Waif million dollars, and grown from about 4000 acres of land Some small growers have gone out of the raising of mint for pepper mint oil, but a few have increased their acreage. Mr. Herrold has a little over 300 acres in mint, mostly in the Labish and St. Paul districts. He will increase his plantings by about 100 acres for 1930. The mint plant brings a crop the first season, though not generally as large as in after years, when well tended. Mr. Herrold this year se cured four drums of oil from : acres of this year's planting; and it was set out late, and we had an unfavorable, late, cold spring. There were growers this year who got 112 pounds of pepper mint oil to the acre of mint, while there were a few, in the Santlam section, who recovered only IS pounds to the acre.

This conclusion has been arrireoV at by Oregon State Agricultural college extension specialists in both dairying and farm crops, after extensive studies of the ex isting situation and experiments to determine possibilities in im proved cropping practices. "While the dairy Industry In western Oregon Increased sharply during the period from 1910 to 1920 the period of the building of milk condensories, the estab lishments of cooperative cream eries, the widespread introduction of pasteurization plants and sim ilar expansion the srowth dur ing the period stace 1910 has been l the hay tonnage la the Willamette valley is by substituting alfalfa for lower yielding hays, believes Mr. Jack a a. aad for several years this has been one of the'maln pro jects of the college extension ser vice. Through the efforts of O. T. MeWhorter, county agent, cooper ating' with the dairymen, Wash ington county Is now the leading alfalfa raising county of the val ley, growing approximately 6000 acres. Introduction of alfalfa to re place cheaper hays has also been one of the major phases of exten sion work la Polk county, where, through the efforts of J. R. Beck, county agent, the acreage has been Increased from about 40 or 59 acres In 1926 to more than 2000 acres. More Alfalfa, More Cows In many Instances Increased production of alfalfa has allowed dairymen to Increase their herds, finds Mr. Jackman. He cites the case of one man who had been keeping 20 cows for many years, unable to keep more without buy ing hay, which was unprofitable. Finally he got a good field of al falfa started, and now keeps 28 cows, on the same acreage. t Mr. Jackman also points out that the tonnage of hay may also be Increased In many Instances by use of lime on acid soils, or by drainage, or both on some of the low yielding land. Another factor la the present of a small pumping plant, many of them could bars from 10 to 20 acres of Irrigated grass or Ladino clover jaasture, ... i s ."It Is safe to say that many dairymen could increase thelr herds SO per cent by getting this cheap summer teed,' says Mr. Jackman. Irrigated clover will carry from two to four cows per acre all season, while the same land la hay or grain without ir rigation will carry less than one cow per acre. And the Irrigated pasture doea away with aU the work and expense each year of plowing, harrow g. packing, drill ing, harvesting, aad threshing. In rmet, it seems folly to attempt to' carry more cows in western Ore gon until alfalfa and irrigated pasture prepare the way by fur nishing cheap feed. 01 C. Tl MAN CALLED ICE So-called "sweet apples" do not have a higher sugar content than standard varieties, and are thus no better ' for vinegar making than others, says the O. A. C. horticultural products depart ment. The sweet taste comes from an absence of acid, rather than a surplus of sugar. Winter varie ties of apples are higher in sugar content than summer sorts and are thus preferable for vinegar making. - . . . . . . . . small," eays B. B.

Jackman found that between 1910 and 1920 the number of cows In Dairymen of Oregon are again confronted with a feed problem resulting from the protracted drouth. The temptation Is to save on feed and permit the animals to fall off in milk and in flesh. intending to regain these when ihe pasture -starts. Observation shows, however, that when this is done, the pasture goes Into re building the cow's body and leaves the milk production lower ed, says the college dairy exten sion specialist.

Cheap Jniee Now Mr. Deekebach called attention to the fact that the price- of elec tric energy has been materially lowered, so that power for pump ing water' for Irrigation may now be-secured at rates that will make' its use economical In applying the water that IS needed by dairy men. Mr. Deekebach believes a concerted and persistent effort in this field would bring great ben efit; for dairying will help aU other agricultural lines, aad it will aid the business and growth of our cities and towns. Mr: Deekebach took from his files a clipping about a meeting of a group of dairymen at 4he Oregon Agricultural college oa August 28 last at which Prof. P. M. Brandt, dean of the dairy de partment of that institution, said that providing green summer pas ture or means of irrigated Ladino clover is a sane and conservative business proposition, and he bas ed part of his contention on this: The dairy husbandry depart ment made- experiments with a 12 acre plot of land that had not previously produced a crop for several years, and from being a liability this land was made to produce a gross return or sisa.ss SAN JOSE, Cal. (AP) So that orthodox Jews throughout the world may eat prunes during the Passover next April, Rabbiner Ch. Biegelelsen has come here from Vienna, to personally super vise the handling -of the fruit. Under his direction of picking and packing the fruit tt will be kosher, which, literally inter preted means "clean." The fruits,- according to the Jewish law as explained by Biegel elsen, an authority on kosher foods is "clean" while on the trees or fallen to the ground. In com pliance of Jewish law only select ed groups of prune pickers may handle the fruit. Scrupnleus care is taken so the food is kept clean. Prunes are se lected because of their high qual ity and placed fa shiny new buck ets. Only new boxes are used. In the packing houses they are locked in specially built bins and the ma chinery through which they pass Is Immaculate. During the picking and packing Rabbin er Biegelelsen watching carefully and into each box goes his signed certificate that the prunes are kosher. - The rabbi rigidly adheres to Jewish lew. He la as careful of his person as ha Is with Me fruit.

After adding the cost of baling, hauling, country buyer'a profit, railroad haul, Portland wholesaler's profit, warehouse and Insurance charges, local dealer's profit and then the haul to the farm, this hay costs the western Oregon farmer $20 to $25 per ton. The eastern Oregon farmer can feed this $10 hay and make a living from his cows. The western Oregon dairyman can feed the same hay at $20 per ton and so broke."

A. C. The usual strength used ln Oregon ls one pound of lye to 8 gallons of water. The lye solution gives the quickest results, but a Bordeaux spray Is more lasting and will be effective for several years. Signal recognition of this stats has come with the "drafting" 6f James T.
