Hayes of San Jose, California, father and uncle of Folsom Hayes were responsible for the Cinderella change. At one time the income of the Lake section was almost nil. Now the average annual gross income -of the Hayes farms alone is between $180,000 And $200,000. The story' of the Lake Labish drainage district which first be gan work-in 1912 and had most of the lake cleared by 1920, is an Old one. In 1920, the present Hayes company acquired the full control of its present holdings in Lake Labish, and In February of 1926, Folsom Hayes came out of a Cali fornia college, to take over as manager. He has continued in that position since. During the first few years, the family lived in Sa lem,! but in recent years the at tractive remodeled farm house on the edge of Lake Labish has been the family home. i'Like it? better out here? we asked Mrs. Hayev who happened to be showing us about. ,'WeU., she laughed. Salem likes ' our dogs better -out here.' v Then she proceeded to show us her share of the fanning, which . at present consisted of 24 St. Ber nard dogs and three little Mexican Chihuahuas,-. ' There had been, Mr. Hayes i told us, a good market in Calif or i iiia, j in Canada and in New York for St Bernard pups. They are shipped at the age of three to four months. We stepped into the hollow tile kennels and for a bit were amazed at the jlood stored there. Points! Points! Points! .... was all we could see."- . But Mrs. Hayes evidently read our thoughts, for she hastened to explain that the adult St. Ber - nafrl only eats one pound of meat a day borse meat. And, she ad said .had been an exceptionally fine year for the second crop. Of the carrots about 60 percent goes to the canneries and the Rust Fly Giving other 50 is sold fresh under navy I TYoil&Ze With Garden Carrots ontract. Mr. Hayes hopes to hav i his usual average rr ot 200 sacks of corn to the acre with each sack containing five dozen ears. But warmer weather is needed to make the, corn perk up. Practically all corn Is shipped fresh, with San Francisco one of the big markets. Hayes farm gives considerable employment Forty workers are retained during the slack months. At present there are 100 employes of which 15 are imported Mexi cans, with 130 additional Mexi cans expected for the peak Sep tember and October months, when onions.: carrots, , sweet .corn and the late lettuce are to be "picked." W. B. Russell serves as foreman and Harold Watenpaugh as book keeper of the farms. Mr. Hayes briefly discussed dis ease and insects in vegetable crops. Maggots, he said, naturally increase as time moves on, but last year in the Lake district they hadn't been so much of a menace to the carrot crop as was reported from other districts. But there had been some, and he fears a little more trouble this year. Mildew caused the greatest onion worries, in Mr. Hayes' mind. So far this year mildew has not put in an appearance in the Hayes fields, but, he smiled, "We're ex-pectin'. Yellow dwarf has never bothered to any extent the onions on the Hayes farm, but thrips were bad some years.

Given. Incentive Oregon grass, clover and alfalfa seed growers are now offered an additional ' financial incentive to harvest every pound of seed pos sible this year, in view of pros pective critical shortages in the 1944 crop of forage seeds, says R. B. Taylor, chairman of the state AAA committee. I '. Congress has appropriated an additional $1,500,000 for use this season in Increasing practice pay ments and providing a new pound payment fin an effort to get every acre possible harvested for seed. The previous 25-acre limitation on the seed harvest practice pay ment of $3.50 per acre has now been removed so that it will be made on an unlimited acreage in hopes that this will make.it fi nancially feasible for farmers to harvest marginal! fields for seed which otherwise j would be pas hired because; of i low prospective seed " yields. . 1 ' The pound sate in be. 3 cents, clean basis, for fed clover, and 2 cents, clean basis, for alsike and alfalfa. These payments will be over and above the regular market price for the seed. Natural Foods Give Enoogh Vitamins No need to worry over bossy's vitamin diet according to Dr. J. RlIaag, chemist at the state college experiment station; The widespread vitamin vogue now . sweeping America, and partly through commercial sales appeal, has been thoroughly studied by the nutrition committee of the American Veterinary Medical as sodation. livestock obtain most of the . vitamins they need through sun shine and natural foods, provided a reasonable amount of care is exercised in selecting and pro cessing the feeds used, the report of ' the committee showi. The chief exception is with poultry, where extra vitamin D is usually supplied, both by the use of fish oils and alfalfa leaf meals, except where adequate exposure 1 of the birds to sunshine makes these unnecessary.. JUilk Fat Makes Lives Longer Recent experiments in the bu reau of dairy industry of the United States department of ag riculture show that laboratory an imals live 20 per cent longer when their diets include lactose and milk fat ; Mrs. Ethel Austin Martin, di rector of nutrition of the national dairy council, states that "there is a partnership between lactose and milk fat which promotes the development of firm muscles ra ther than fat flabby tissues."
