Unless he knows what’ kale will do to the milk bucket he has not qualified as a booster. It is called the thousand headed kale, and the hot. n.-t kllow<> it as brassica eler.icea, but it is the plain kale of four letters that does the talking. The strange thing is that it has on’y been during the last two or three years that it has had an audience, though it is nearly thirty years old in the Willam­ ette valley, It has tried to talk all those years, but the people wouldn't listen when it sought recognition, "We never heard it talk,” they in- sisted. “back in Iowa and New York Back there cows produce milk with­ out kale, and I guess they will have to here.” That is tradition. It took thirty years for kale to get an audi­ ence in this state and live down tra­ dition. The dairymen of New York under stand what green succulent food means to the dairy cow, and they build expensive silos, buy expensive machinery, and grow fertility-robb ng corn, which they irrigate with their sweat, in order that the farmer dur- ing the long winter months may have an excuse for milking his cows. The Oregonian needs no expensive silos to remind the cow of the good old summer time. Kale! A thousand blessings on the thousand-headed kale! It is making Oregon tjie greatest dairy state in the union. When grown under favorable con ditions kale will yield 40 tons per acre of green feed, and its chief value is as a soiling crop during the fall and winter Splendid results are be­ ing secured by feeding kale and vetch hay to dairy cows, without any grain or mill feed. Dr. Withycombe, of the Agricultural College, says that 15 pounds of vetch hay and 40 pounds of kale a day is practica’.'v a balanced ration for a dairy cow. Mr. W. L. Wilson, of Banks, Or., says: “I re­ ceived $207 from 14 cows in the month of December, and fed them nothing but kale, turnips ami vetch hay. The man who feeds chop would have to make $237 to clear as much as I do. I have not had a speck of mill feed in the barn all winter.” Mr. Byron Hunter, of Corvallis, has, as assistant agriculturist of the bureau of plant industry. U. S. depart­ ment of agriculture, made a special study of the forage crops of Western Oregon, and in Bulletin No. 9t, pub­ lished jointly bv the Oregon Experi­ ment Station and the Department of Agricu'ture, has the following to say about kale, which is timely: “Methods of Sowing—For fall and winter use kale is usually sown in drills on well prepared and drained soil as soon after the 15th of March as the season will permit. • This fur­ nishes plants for transplanting in June and July. The land used for transplanting is well manured and plowed two or three times between the first of March and the firnt of June. With the land in perfect tilth it is plowed again with a 12-inch plow about the first of June, and the young kale plants dropped into every third furrow about two and a half to three feet apart. This places about one plant on every square yard. The roots of the plants are placed where the next furrow covers them, leaving the tops uncovered. The plants that are plowed in during the day in this way are rolled in the evening of the same day to pack the ground. Two or three cultivations are all that can usually be given, for the plants will soon touch in the row, if they do well. Any plants that fail to grow may be replaced by hand. Some growers prefer to plant the seed in hills, and when the plants are large enough thin them to one plant in a hill Others put ka’e out just as cabbage is usually transplanted, instead of plowing it in. The time of transplanting must be determined bv the size of the plants and the condition of the land. If the land is wet and subject to overflow the transplanting may be delayed un­ til during July tf the land is well drained and the plants are large enough, it may be done before the first of June In transplanting, enough plants may be left for a stand on the land where the seedlings are grown. __ ___________ A man living at Maud wants to know if he can irrigate his trees by means of a water w’agon and barrels. Pro­ fessor Thornber did not favor the plan, stating: “This would be rather too complex. I am of the opinion that you will find it too great an expense, considering the value of a team and a man, to haul this water during the summer. The station would advise you to try and conserve this moisture by means of culture. This could be done with good effect during the summer months. I have had considerable experience on the state college campus in hauling water; and have concluded, first that it is impracticable to place water around the tree without a heavy mulch of straw; second, that nothing much less than a barrel of water for each tree at each watering, should be given. This will soak the ground up fairly well, and in our case. I did not need to water the trees on the campus more than twice during the summer. I do not know that it will be possible for you to make use of a heavy mulch, but in order to hold the water, it is neces­ sary to do so. You can use retted straw' for this, or forest leaves.”— From the Washington State college, Pullman. “Excuse me, ma’am,” said the edu­ cated boho, “but would you favor a soldier In the great army of the unem­ ployed with a square meal?” “I will,’ replied the good woman, “If you don’t mind earning a dollar by do­ ing a -few odd Jobs about the premises this afternoon.” “Pardon me. ma’am,” answered the e. h., “but I am a man of honor and must therefore decline to d< •< rt from tbh army.” • There is s .u ’ !v any one, n<> matter how vi • >rous and healthy, who does not need a t times, Little physical iri es upset th* M-i'itt, t! ,ii - ( fails, ly of that tired, w rn-out feeling, improves the ap[ tite and
