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.

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.
