A SUNNY LEA JERSEY -o I -t l ! - - - - - - , i -i -linn,, n L,. , Xesia's Oxford the first imported cow la the United States to make 1,000 pounds of fat. Her record was 1,022 pounds H. D. Dift Jerseys Break Numerous World Records My Madelene L. Callin Breaking world's records has ceased to be a novelty at Sunny Lea Jersey farm, owned and man aged by Harry D. Illff. Sunny Lea is situated Just south of Inde pendence and Is the home of some of tbe finest Jersey cows in the world. This Is the only farm In the world with four eows holding a record of producing more than 1000 pounds of butter fat per year. The first to bring the 1000-lb. record to Sunny Lea was St. Mawes Lad's Lady, a world rec ord senior yearling producing 829 pounds of fat in 365 days. As a junior four year old she produced 1033 pounds of fat. The next in line was St. Mawes Lad's Bride who produced 1002 pounds of fat in one year as a senior three year old. Then came Xenia's Oxford Li lac, the first imported cow to make 1000 pounds of fat. There has been only one other imported cow to make this record. She pro duced 821 pounds of fat as a two year old and as a mature cow, produced 10f22 pounder" - Last In 'the line comes The Lion's Lilac who has won the world's record for a senior yearl ing with 742 pounds of fat In. a 305 day test. She then won the world's record for a senior three year old by producing 926 pounds of fat In 305 days. For the full year she produced 1086 pounds of fat. As the highest producing cow of 1929 she is winner of the pres ident's eup. This cup is given by the president of the American Jersev cattle club each year to the" highest producing cow, mak ing 1000 pounds of fat and drop Dine a calf in the required time. This cup has come to Oregon three times. It Is not only the eows that have brought fame to Sunny Lea. Potatoes Planted Earlier This Year At Klamath Falls KLAMATH FALLS, June 21 fAP) Potato growers in the Klamath Falls basin planted their acreages seven to ten days earlier this year than other years, C. A. Henderson, county agent, said. This tendency toward earlier planting, was somewhat influenc ed by time of planting demonstra tions which were carried to com pletion in a year by four grower co-operatives with the county ag ent'3 office. On average it was found that single drop seed planted between April 80 and May 10 gave the highest yields. The plan followed was one of planting two rows oi single drop seed and two rows of cut seed . every ten days starting April 10 and. finishing June 10. Celery and Celeriac Prove ' Interesting in Home Garden Amos and Andy, twin' bull calves, are the only bull calves in the world whose three nearest dams aro 1000 pound producing rec ords. The sire of Amos and, Andy Is Fauvic's Trouville, whose dam Is Fauvic's Star, with a producing record of 1005 pounds of fat. The mother is The Lion's Lilac, who is a daughter of Xenia's Oxford Li lac. A daughter of The Lion's Li lac, The.Maoria's Lilac, is the mother of twin heifer calves, whose sire Is Lilac's St. Mawes. In the past few years the Illff herd has won two medals of merit, nine gold medals and 15 silver medals. Mr. Illff attributes the success of his herd to the careful atten tion to breeding and feeding. Sunny Lea Jerseys are not fed any prepared dairy feeds but only those mixed at the farm. Kale, mangels and clorcr are fed in abundance. Mr. Ilifrs policy Is to keep a limited number of cows and to have high producers of butterfat He believes that in this way the feed cost per pound of butterfat is kept down. ' Celery is one of the vegetables not, often attempted by the borne gardener compared with other vegetables yet it is not a difficult matter at all to raise a fine sup ply ot home-grown celery. A light rich Boll and abundant moisture will produce first-class celery. It is now time to plant the sead or to order plants to set out for the crop next tali. So far as growing the plants Is concerned, it is as easy as grow ing lettuce or carrots. Set plants a loot apart and tor the late va rieties and eight inches for early sorts. The main factor is to keep them gTowing at full speed. Cul tivate and fertilise liberally. Do not work- among the plants when they are wet withrain or dew as it is likely to promote rust and discoloration. There are varieties of celery which are called self-blanching. This self-blanching applies only to the heart of the plant which from its closely held stems Is blanphed. The outer leaves while paler than the non-blajichlng kind are by no means white. The self blanching varieties need less' blanching than the standard sort. That is their chief advantage. The blanching process usually Is accomplished by old-time gar deners by drawing the earth about , the stems of the- plant as if crows ; so that when ready to gather the earth reaches up to the lower por tion of the leaf growth. Another method which has-the advantage f being cleaner and: not getting oil into the heart of the plant consists of placing board strips eloee to the plants on each side W METHOD OS - 1 1 7ri& USING BOARDS " ' 4lf TO RlAMCrt ANDAOUD Bootlegging Fertilizer Is Latest OREGON STATE COLLEGE, Corvallis, June 21 Among the other troubles with bootleggers may be added the problem ot boot leg fertilizer, Judging from a com mittee report just turned in to the meeting of the Western Soci ety of Soil Scientists which Just concluded its annual session here. The trouble has arisen over the action of an English company in having patented a process for making artificial manure from straw and other farm wastes through the addition of nitrogen and other material which aids In bacteriological decay. It seems that government scien tists in England developed such a process during- the war and later took out an American natent on It covering such a broad field that if the patent is sustained any such aeveiopment on American farms will be seriously hampered, the committee reported. Research men in this country, Including Investigators at the Ore gon Experiment station, have perfected feasible methods ot eon verting straw and other wastes In to good artificial manure but the threat of court action has practi cally halted development in this Held. The scientists have denlored the situation and In a resolution con demned the practice of patenting for private gain any agricultural development worked out ; by. tax supported research. Such discov eries. It Is held, should be for the general and free use of the public. several such - discoveries have been, protected by the Oregon Ex periment station by means ot pub lic service patents. Such a patent was- obtained for a- method of spray residue removal from fruit and another on a process ot grad ing prunes according' to maturity. A. similar patent has been applied for on -the new method of vaccin ating for chicken pox ot fowls. of the row so that light la ex cluded. There are also for small -gardens paper tabes to slip about the plant protecting the stems from the light and blanching them. Any ot these methods is practical but there is a' theory which seems to work out that the old-fashioned method of hilling np the earth about the . plants produces the whitest and tenderest stalks. -CelerUe or root celery la a eel-. ery that runs to a big tuberous root instead of stalks. It Is nse- tuL as a flavoring for soups and stew and as salad material when boiled and sliced. It is useful to put in thVcellar for winter use and a short row will give suffi cient material for a season. . BULL GDfiED FARMER fJOW RUfJS TftSCTDR EFFECT OF SUN IS ST4JD IED Whether Sunshine Aids Dairy Production is Questioned AMES, Iowa (AP) Whether sunshine has any effect on the growth and milk productivity of cows will be discussed before the 25th annual meeting, here ot the American Science association. The sessions will begin June 24 and continue three days. Dr. James M. Sherman of Cornell uni versity is president of the associ ation. It has been demonstrated by experiments that the vitamin con tent of goat milk and the charac ter of hen eggs have been changed through use of ultra, violet light on goats and hens, but that cows apparently are not affected by the rays. Cows raised in the dark have been found to produce just as rich milk as those given abundant sunshine. Dr. T. M. Olson of South Dako ta agricultural college .will tell of further experiments on the sunshine's influence on dairy heifers. How cheese can be packed in cans for commercial distribution while it is fresh will be explained by Dr. L. A. Rogers of the U. S. bureau of dairy Industry. Use of this method, he says, would prevent formation ot a "rind" on the cheese, thereby el iminating much waste. - Good results in feeding cows only concentrated food, without the roughage popularly consider ed essential, have been obtained through experiments which Dr. W. M. Regan of the University of Cal ifornia will describe to the association. Badgers Needed To Train Dogs THE DALLES, June 21 (AP) As the rsult of a visit here by J.-c. - Blade, orchardirt of Hns um.

Coatriba tieaa af aunt ara Uriud, CLEAN FRUIT HELD POSSIBLE Dr. J. S. Jones; Declares Jhere is no Excuse For -Other Kind EUGENE. Ore June II (AP) Declaring that there is now no excuse for the marketing ox any but clean fruit, free of either worms or supposedly poisonous spray residue, or. JT h. Jones, ,hmht Af-Oreeon State college. today told assembled members of the Pacific Coast division or me American Association for the Ad vancement of Science, of progress made in treatment of apples, pears and other fruit. Scientists from the entire west are in ses sion here. Admitting that wormy fruit is unmarketable, and fruit with res idues of spraymaterial too much in evidence, is questionable in the eyes of the consumer, Dr. Jones said experience ot the last fivo years has shown that spray resi dues of all kinds at the time of harvest and packing can be re moved from, apples and pears at relatively light expense and with sufficient thoroughness "to meet the most exacting requirements of pure food officials." "In some respects it seems strange that after a halt century or more of experience in com' at tlng Insect enemies ot garden, field and orchard crops, the pro ducer must still rely upon the use of compounds whose elements are definitely associated in the minds of the public with virulent toxi city in humans," Dr. Jones said. "In recent times the grower of apples and pears has been prom inently before the consuming pub lic because no thoroughly satisfac tory substitute for arsenlcals has been found for control of the cod ling moth. Wherever that pest has become firmly established, clean crops of apples and pears eannot he produced without frequent and liberal applications of arsenlcals on the part of the , producer throughout the growing season.' Spray Not Dangerous Dismissing the question of spray adhering to the skins of fruits, a condition that . la easily elimin ated by use of one of the several washing baths availabl . Dr. Jones spoke at some length on the mat ter of arsenlcals in the flesh of the fruit Itself. Experiments indi cate, he pointed out, that minute traces of arsenic, known as the "ubiquitous element." are present In practically, a-' organic cells. Publicity recently given to this fact has prompted a "scare" in .(..is, Wiiera It was not un- derstood that the element in such minute quantities must do Harm less. . Arsenic, he said, is present in practically all soils. Fruit taken from orchards known never to have been sprayed, have been found to contain minute traces of arsenic, assimilated from the soil. Other orchards, principally those that have been sprayed with ar senic compounds, contain more ar senie In the soil, but none to such an extent as to warrant even pass ing uneasiness.

F'aper for Your If Nl Office Stationery; State Fair Stock Show to Be Abortion Free in 1930 For First Time in History The Oregon state fair this year, for the first time in history, will require abortion test certificates in connection with all exhibits in the dairy department, according to announcement made here today by Dr. W. H. Lyle, state Veteri narian and secretary' of the state livestock sanitary board. The livestock sanitary board felt," said Dr. Lytle, "that the state fair should have close co operation. As a result of this atti tude on the part ot the board members a regulation was passed that is a duplicate of the order approved by the Oregon state fair board. This requires that all dairy animals over one year old must have been tested and found freeJ ot Infectious abortion within one month of the time they are' exhib ited, or have originated in an abortion tested and free herd." It was pointed out by Dr. Lytle that Infectious abortion has play ed havoc In a large number of dairy herds in Oregon, and re sults of the disease have cost the breeders many thousands of dol lars. Quarantine Approved At a meeting of the livestock sanitary board held in Portland recently the state veterinarian was authorized to issue a protect ive quarantine against the en trance of non-abortion tested and free animals Into nine abortion control areas located in different parts of the state. Three of these control areas are located In Coos county, two in Lane county, two in Jackson county, one in Benton county, one In Hood River county. Hood River county is the only dis trict in the entire state that has a complete abortion test on all of the cattle within its boundaries. The order issued by the state veterinarian requires that all bo vine animals, in erder to be legal ly entered Into these districts, must have passed a negative abor tion test within four weeks of the date of entrance or come from a herd that is abortion tested and free from the disease. Satis factory identification of the ani mal is required, also test charts or other proof must accompany the animal. The board refused to adopt a regulation requiring the sterilization ot grain hags for the reason that there were certain fac tors connected with such an order that would make it impractical to enforee. Members of the board said they felt that, the feed com panies could add to their prestige by using new grain bags and thereby eliminate the need and ex pense of sterilization. The proposal to add a number of tuberculosis accrediting coun ties was considered. It was brought out at the meeting that at least four additional counties would be accredited by the middle of the summer, while four other counties would be added by late in the fall. It was reported that the entire cattle population of the state, with the possible exception of Mult nomah county, would be accredit ed were it possible to test out the herds. Fire Brand Tabled The proposal to adopt an offi cial fire brand for abortion re actor animals was laid on the ta ble! Members of the board said the adopti6n pt such a brand would add materially to the cost of the test as it-would be neces sary for the veterinarian to re visit the herd after the report had been received from the laboratory and then brand the animal. Under the present system, the owner may place an under bit in the middle of the left ear, similar to the out line of the capital letter "A." Lytle declared that every effort would be made to clean up the dairy herds at the state fair through the abortion test, and the necessity of breeders securing from the state veterinary a certif icate showing that his exhibits were free from th disease. It is likely, he said, that this regulation will be extended next year so that abortion eventually will be elim inated In Oregon. Breeders of the state who annu ally exhibit at the state fair were said to have favored the new regulations. GRASSHOPPERS ARE ERADICATED Tule Lake Region Wins in Three Years' Battle Against Pest TCT.AMATTT f AT.T.S Jmi. 21. r(AP) For the first itme In many years the farmers of the "bread basket of the Klamath empire" the famous Tule lake reclamation area in southern Klamath and northern Siskiyou and Modoc counties, will not be troubled by grasshoppers. Eradication of the blight after three years of intensire poisoning will save between 150,000 and $200,000 a year to the farmers In that area. For three years' habits of the grasshoppers were watched and in 1928 more than a million pounds of poisoning was spread over the ground at the hatching time. A check of the field cover ing a five mile front In 1928, which was the worst year, a strip of grasshoppers five miles long and 500 feet deep with 8C0 dead hoppers to the square foot. More than 1500 of crops were ruined that year. Loss in 1929 was less than 100 acres and this year it will be nothing, C. A. Hender son, county agent, Bald. In 1928 more than 113,000 was spent to kill grasshoppers and at one time there were 60 men em ployed by the county, the recla mation bureau and the land own ers. In 1929 about 84000 was spent In that area and this year less than 8100 will have to be spent. FUTURE HB IKES RECORD James Neal of Silverton Proves His Ability as a Junior Farmer j - j By LILLIB L. MADS EN SILVERTON, June 21 James Neal, who has been acting presi dent of the Oregon chapter of the future farmers of America during the past year which has been the first year of the Oregon chapter, has shown quite an enviable rec ord during his four years of school. James, who is 18, has also acted as president of the lo cal chanter. He Was a. m,mha, 4 this year's graduation class of the guverton high sehool. In his freshman vear Neal start ed out with a future farmer urn. ject of f 9 head of red and white chickens which were in an old dilapidated shed. ThA net nrnn for that year's activity was 94. 07. With the start of tha onn year's work, James changed hia projeet to high bred white Leg horn chickens and did most of the hatching himself after lng one Incubator. The net prof its this year was 842.10. With the third vear'n mr Jamermade a start with 160 head of Hanson white Leghorn chick ens, secured errs and hatched 10ft head of wild Mallard ducks and to this he also added 15 head of sheep. The constructive nart nf his program dUrlnz this vear wna the self construction of a large poultry house and on brooder house. The net nroflt for th third year amounted to 8354.13. The past vear. which has h Neal's senior year In high school. has been caring for his 450 head Of chickens. 18 heart nf Uallar ducks for breeding purposes, and fiis sheep enterprise has increased to 30 head. The estimated net nrofit for the present year is $418. His net prof it for the four-year period brings the total to $908.30. One addi tional brooder house has lust been completed, and many im provements in the building as well as construction of fences and trap nests have bee'n added. Neal has also done all of the electrical wiring, for the two poultry houses and the one brooder house. Neal has taken active Interest in all high school activities and has, during the four years; an average scnoiastic grade or 86.3 per cent. Besides his project work he helps milk from three to five cows night and morninr. helns with the datrv cattle and runs a milk route. While on the milk route Neal sells most of the eggs he can spare. However, during the hatch ing season the eggs produced from the project are largely sold as day old chicks. Neal is also one ot the ten boys in the state of Oregon who wes elected to receive the "Oregon Farmer" degree at the state meet ing of the Future Farmers of America when the organization met at Oregon State college on April 24, 1930.
