SEED IS HEAVIER The ' preliminary official esti mate of the United States pro duction of red and alsike clover seed combined is 1.140.000 bu shels. A crop of that else would be less than hair as, much as In 1929, bat slightly more than the fire-year average from 1124 to 19 IS. The average yield Is es timated as 1.48 "bushels an acre, "the same as the ten-year aver age. Up to November 4 about SO per cent of the red clover seed and 75 per cent ot the al sike had been sold by growers. This Is a much larger portion than usual and compares with only 36 per cent of the red and 45 per cent of the alsike sold at the same time last year. Sales of alsike were still being made freely, bat red clover seed move meat bad i slowed down ' with .prices somewhat weaker than earlier In the season. Nearly all of the white clover seed has been sold by growers at prices around 10 cents a pound higher than last year. Sweet clover aeed has also moved rapidly from growers hands this season at higher prices than last year. The official estimate of alfal fa seed production la the United States Is 830.000 bushels. This is seven per cent under average. tn 11 ner cent mora than last year. Growers have, sold freely at prices which .have averages slightly lower than, last year, al though In tome localities higher prices were obtained.

The tests were made with the collaboration of the Fruit Pro ducts Laboratory of the College ot Agriculture, and Included samples' of these three fruits dried either with or without sul tut dioxide treatment. In the sun or In wind tunnel dehydrators. Tested Value om Rats -Vitamin A content of the dried fruit was measured by feeding tests on vitamin A deficient rats. The percentage of loss of vitamin A was estimated by the -effect of the dried fruit on rats as com pared to the effect ot fresh fro sea fruit of the same variety. In their cob elusions Professor Morgan ; and Miss Field stste: "The sulfured. dehydrated fruit In all cases appeared to retain the largest proportion of the vit amin, but this retention was not found to be directly related to the amount of er4tfur dioxide in. the fruit. . -J' ; ' - "Of the sulfured fruit, the sun dried specimens of prunes and peaches showed better retention of vitamin A than did the eorres- fpondlsg unsulfured. dehydrated products. The more destructive effect, an the absence of the pro tective , eulfur dioxide, of the higher temperatures used In de hydration Is fhe only explanation ot this divergence offered. - Iijrw Dipping -Ha No Effect 1 "Xarej disptac of the dried prunes seemed to have no effect upon vitamin A retention. 'The- vitamin A of peaches seems Itttle- affected by any of the drying processes. 81 to 100 per cent being retained in all cases. The vitamin A. of prunes is more valuable. 24 to 91 per cent being retained and that or apri cots still more easily affected. obIt Is to SI per cent of the fresh fruit value eing present in the dried prepraations. However, the dried aDrteota which; had lost the greatest .proportions of their fresh fruit . vitamin A content were still absolutely richer In this vitamin than the best of the neocn ana prune prouucis. "The ritamin A contest of two varieties of yellow peaches, of Branca, and ot apricots Is shown to be relatively large, that of the anricots - comparing . favorably with the best figures reported for spinach, egg yolktor bntter.

P ARE SHOW Washington Survey Shows 1 1 .Comparative, Aalues df uiover ana Aiiana PULLMAN The comparative values ot alfalfa and sweet clov er for use in diversified farm systems in the-Inland Empire agricultural section recently have been ascertained by George Sev erance, head of the Washington State college department of farm management. Alfalfa makes a marketable hay, whereas sweet clover hay has yet no recognized place on the market," Severance said. "Feeding tests indicate that sweet clover hay Is practically equal in value to alfalfa provided It Is cut before the stems become woody. , The fact that alfalfa Is a perennial makes It preferable where it Is desirable to leave the crop longer than two years. The beneficial Influence of al falfa on succeeding crops con tinues longer than that of sweet clover, but this fact Is counter acted by the ready causing ot bloat by alfalfa, whereas the ef fect of sweet clover Is less dis astrous. "We have found at the State college that It Is more difficult to obtain a stand of alfalfa with a nurse crop than it is a stand of sweet clover. The alfalfa. furthermore. Is less adapted to short rotation than -Is the clover. and Is far more difficult to break up. The experience of farmers Indicates that sweet clover can. be plowed up about aa. readily as stubble, where alfalfa requires from 0 to 100- per cent more power." imr BEING IDFMD ZEN A, Nor. 29 Roy Kennedy, who rented the A.

Department of Agri culture Gives Estimate Of Production ; The preliminary official esti mate ot the United States pro duction I of red and alsike clover seed combined is Ui million bushels. I A crop ot that sixe would be less than halt as much as in 1929, but slightly more than the Slyear average from 1924 to 1928. The. average yield Is estimated at 1.48 bushels an acre, the same aa the 10-year av erage. Up to November 4 about 80 per cent of Ihe red - clover seed and 75 per cent ot the al sike had been sold by growers. This Is j a much larger portion than usual and compares with only 35 per cent of tha rad and 45 per cent of . the alsike sold at the same time last year.' Sales of the alsike were still being made freely, but red clover seed movement had slowed down with prices somewhat weaker than earlier In the season. Nearly- all of the white clover seed has been sold by growers at prices around 10 cents a pound higher than last year Sweet clover seed has also moved rapidly from' growers hands this season at higher prices than last year. The official estimate of alfal fa seed production In the United States is .83 million bushels. This Is seven Per cent under average. but 11 per cent more than last year. Growers have sold freely at prices which have averaged slightly lower than last year, al though in some localities higher nrices were obtained. Tha November 1 official esti mate ot total potato production in the United States tnis year was 368 million bnshels, com pared with 360 million last year and 393 million the lszt-iazs average. Because the output of earlv notatoes was larger last year, the supply of late potatoes per capita on the basis or tnese estimates would be slightly less than a year ago. It Is also re ported that the quality of the po tatoes harvested this year ! aver- area the lowest since 1901. a con siderable quantity of small and otherwise unmerchantable stock being Included In the estimate of nroductlon. Production In the principal western potato states Is expected to be about 25 per cent mere than in 1929. The acreage ot potatoes In Oregon this year Is estlmsted at 42.000. the same as in 1929 but 10.000 acres less than In 1928 and 1927 and 2.000 under the 1923-1927 average. The yield is reported exception ally good, and the estimated pro duction Is over six million" bush els, about the same as In 1927 and 1928. In 12 southern early potato states the preliminary Intentions to plant survey Indicates that growers may Increase the acreage- nearly 11 per cent unless they change their Intentions tor some reason or ether. Although the reported acreage of fau and klnter cauliflower Is California Is four per cent less than a year ago, production la now forecast at 10 per cent more than the 1929-30 season's out put.

Expert Tells of Increasing Poultry Profits During the Winter Season Poultry raising is one of our most Important agricultural In dustries. It is one farming ac tivity that, as a rule. Is left largely to shift for Itself, when the hatching season la over., in order to increase the 'net profit from this branch of agri culture, more thought should be given to Increasing egg produc tion, thus preventing loss ; by sickness and death. A report of a New Jersey ex periment station shows that a hen producing 60 eggs a year Just about pays for her keep. Above that, all of the Income is virtually placed In the pockets of the poultry raiser. Increase in the net profit seems to be out of proportion. but . nevertheless Is true when everything is taken into consid eration. 5 The receipts per bird, above expense, were found to be 17c per year on a heir laying 60 eggs; 94e from a 100 egg pro ducer; 31.42 from a hen laying 120 eggs and 32.70 from those laying 140 or more.

Waltoa, Dallas - Methods of feed. Naturally the better lay ers use more teed and produce a greater net income. At this time of the year when we are subject to sudden changes la temperature, and cold drafts often strike the poultry, we hsve an Increase in sickness among our poultry flocks, and If ' not sickness, a large decrease In eSC production. Avoid Drafta To prevent this loss. It Is sug gested that the poultry houses be repaired so that no . direct draft will strike the roosting birds, this being the most com mon cause ot roup and kindred diseases. - j Proper ventilation and suffi cient room In the poultry bouse are very essential to the health of fowls. l Houses should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected so that the poultry will live under the best sanitary conditions. The poultry, should be deloused. Tbls can be accomplished by purchas ing a nfcotine sulphate prepara tion, pouring It from the bottle to an oil can, and running a small stream along the roost. spreading It out with a small brush.

Nov. 39 Oregon's Pacific coast champion Smith-Hughes livestock Judging team hss returned from a two- weeks Judging trip to the Amer ican Royal exposition at Kansas CIty Mo. This wonderfully edu cational trip was made possible by contributions from the com munities of Newberg and Inde pendence.. Members of the team were: George Genteman, Ilershel Pey ree. Independence, Richard Car ter, Newberg. 'These boys -were the winers at Pacific Interna tional. The boys left Portland via the Portland Rose, November 8. They arrived In Wichita, Kansas, November 11. took advantage of the .splendid opportunity the Kansas National show gave them to work out on beef cattle and draft horses. Arrirlng la Kansas City Nov. 14. the boys Immediately began workouts for the contest Novem ber 17. They were especially anx ious about horse placlngs. They hsd had no chance on horse ludrlnr in Ore eon and this waa their first attempt. ' ' Eight Classes 'Jedged Eight classes, were judged, namely: Belgian mares, Pereher on stallions, Hereford heifers. Shorthorn heifers, Duroc gilts. Poland sows, Hampshire ewes and Shropshire ewes. Richard Carter was fourth high man of the contest, missing a 8200 scholarship by a few points. He was also third high on swine and serenth in the placing on swine. The boys all had some dif ficulty In placing the cattle and ' as a, result the team placed 24. Ranked Above Others They ranked above nine other teams, namely: Kansas. Nebras ka, Florida, South Dakota, Ar kansas, . j Tennessee, Minnesota, Wisconsin. "Although the boys were dis appointed In not placing higher at this particular contest, I do not feel that they did a bad Job con sidering that Oregon's team cams the greatest distance ot any team to attend this contest and thai two of my boys were sophomores, competing with msny boys about ready to enter college," said 1L W. Jackson, coach ot the team and Smith-Hughes Instructor at Independence high school. No sickness Interfered with th trip and every moment was en joyed. A broader idea of general agriculture was gained than pos sible by rehearsal or In the school rooms. The boys are very appre ciative ot the community la be ing able to make this Inspiring trip.
