Y Seed Method Important on Ciit-over Land Seeding cut -over land has be come a popular practice. When such land is rough, and good na tural reproduction of fir and hem lock takes place, it mar he more profitable to leave the young trees unmolested, than to seed to grass . for pasturing, expert pasture men declare. However, where no seed trees have been left to reseed, as is the case in much of the logged off land in Willamette valley, proper seeding to. grass may provide sev eral years of good pasture, and when left un grazed, natural re production of trees takes place much more readily in sod than among ferns and brush provided that livestock is first removed. IWable Land Fertilized Willamette valley farmers make a regular practice of liming and fertilizing improved pastures on tillable land. Otherwise, legumes in the mixture tend to disappear and both yield and quality of for age decrease. There is no reason to believe that cut-over pasture will not eventually deteriorate, the same as plow land pasture, when not systematically fertilized. A few good years ef pasture is usually, worth the effort. Stump and brushland are usual ly covered with ferns and the higher the ferns, the better the land underneath. Secrets in suc cess of such seedings lie in the ability to get grass seeds into the soil and in using the right species of grasses and legumes. Burning accumulation of dead .fern tops is desirable when this is possible. Following a burn, most of the seeds come in direct contact with the soil. When they lie on an ac cumulation of fern leaves and stems they cannot germinate. Bagrest Seedinr Given Several combinations of grasses and legumes may be used but here is one recommendation made per acre: Chewing fescue, three pounds; creeping red fescue, three pounds; lotus major three pounds, and white clover, two pounds. This recommendation is endorsed by no less a pasture expert than J. J. Inskeep. Clackamas county agent. He adds that the grasses mentioned mar often be obtained from lots too impure for lawn grass purposes but ideal for pas ture seedings. - These are shade-resistant and re able to compete with new fern growth where most grasses would perish. Lotus major is the best legumem to use under the cir cumstances. And February Is a good month fdV seeding fernland. It is also recommended pasturing during the first summer as f attle eat young fern growth ancP firm the seedbed by tramping. Cattle ghould - be removed before mid summer to prevent fern poisoning. By Proper Feeding The feeding of a little addition al good quality alfalfa hay and grain or its equivalent in the form of molasses or some other concen trate during the last month before a ewe lambs may prevent preg nancy disease. This disease, says Dr. O. H. Muth of Oregon State college, is f "beyond a doubt the most important disease of Oregon ewes, resulting in greater econom ic loss than any other one disease.' Even in ewes not subject to preg nancy disease, the giving of addi tional good feed cannot be con sidered a loss. Well-fed ewes drop stronger, better lambs and are able to provide! more mux: than those ill fed. Lambs should be strong, soon able to get up, follow the ewe and nurse. Early gains in lambs. the result of big strong lambs re ceiving plenty of milk, character ize a profitable sheep enterprise. t i - JU ' at Willamette ;V,a i r iiev Pair Additional Farm News a ras-e it Freed to Talk On Blackberry Vine Control Use of the new weedicide, 2.45-T, for control of brushy plants such as blackberry in west ern Oregon pastures will be among topics discussed by Virgil Freed, OSC experiment station agronomist, during the 55th an nual meeting of the Oregon Daily men's association.

WATCH FOR AD ABOUT FEBRUARY ST UELilKETTE GIlOCEBYi CO. SALEM OREGON Prompt Handling Of Turkey Eggs Very Important Time that elapses between the nest and the incubator is highly important in hatching eggs, re minds Noel Bennion, poultry specialist Hatchability, Mr. Benion ex plains, decreases gradually after eggs are stored a week or longer. After 14 days have passed, the reduction in hatchability is rapid ly accelerated. Since hatching egg season is at hand. Bennion suggests a me thodical egg gathering schedule as one method for increasing hatchability. He says turkey eggs are . better when gathered every hour; chicken eggs at least every two or three hours. Many dirty and broken eggs are eliminated If such a schedule is followed, Bennion states. When dirty eggs are found, however, he suggests they be cleaned immed iately rather than left to dry. Recommended storage tempera ture for hatching eggs is 40 to 60 degrees. Oysters are good to eat through out the year, even in the "It-less' months. FIR8T MULES FROM SPAIN George Washington was the first mule owner in the United States, having received several as a gift from Spain while ho was president Mules came into their own during the days of the Santa Fe trail when they were used to pull wagons. Since the eastern end of the trail was in Missouri, that state soon beram known as the "mule state." Today it ranks evtain in muie population. The average person who dies of rheumatic carditis is 30 years old. The disease takes about 40,000 lives a year. Bedding Sawdust Unliarmful When Correctly Used Elmer Martilla,, Canby peach grower, says that John J. Inskeep, dackmas county agent answered his $64 dollar question on "I the use of animal manures, where shavings or sawdust has been us ed as bedding detrimental to the soil?" Mr. Inskeep's answer is "No!" says Martilla. Inskeep qualifies his answer with the following: Many have entertained the er roneous idea that shavings or saw dust fir shavings or sawdust in particular, contain pitch which is detrimental when used as fertili zer. These, like grain straw, are high in cellulose and low in nitro gen. When used as fertilizers, these materials are broken down by soil bacteria which need a plentiful supply of nitrogen in the process. During this process of disinte gration, useful soil bacteria com pete with the growing crop for nitrogen. Robbed of nitrogen in this manner, crops are seriously damaged and sometimes total fail ure results. However, when VUsed as bedding in the barn or aslitter in the poultry house, shavings and sawdust absorb nitrogen fpfcm the manure. Therefore, use of shavings and sawdust, fir included, is a gpod practice when these materials have been used as bedding.
