he somewhat cheaper. There will
btless be a larger planting of that
important variety in western
ton this year, says the experiment
tion. it is important to get this
ted on soils that are mellow, well
nod, and sweet, and can be made
ionnbly free from weeds.
eondary branches are not-allow-
to develop too near the trunk in

INor are they on the inside of
lid of the scaffold as practiced
the experiment station. If al-
ed to develop on the inside of the
mala branch they will be sure to
rest upon this branch when the tree
is carrying a fruit crop. The second
ary branches are allowed a consid
erably less bearing area than the
main or parent branch, at the be
ginning of the growing season.
A saving in labor and overhead In
milk production from larger herds In
Oregon has been quoted in a report
cost of milk production made by the
dairy department at O. A. C. This
salving was largely offset by the
lower average production per cow.
The smallest herds averaged 2S0
pounds of fat per cow and the larger
herds 224 pounds.
Sweet clover until late years has
been considered a noxious weed but
the experiment station has since
shown that it may have a place in
southern Oregon in pastures and
ranges particularly where the soil is
dry and not sour. After it is once
started properly it keeps itself re-seeded.

The dairy manufacturing short
course is proving popular thiB year
with men registered from Oregon.
Washington, Idaho and Canada. The
course covers the entire process of
butter making, cheese ma king, and ice
cream making in four weeks, January
5 to 31, Although it is not designed
for beginners, one-half of the men
have had no previous experience.
The forenoons are taken up with
lectures and the afternoons with
practical work in the creamery. V.
D. Chappell. professor of dairy man
ufacture, is giving the work in but
termaking and ice-cream making and
L. B. Zeamer, state creamery and
chees factory inspector, the chees
njaking work. R. O. Jones, profes
sor in dairy production, is giving the
testing work.
A feature of this year's work will J
be the special cream-grading course,

COSTS SURVEYED
IT
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. Living
costs the average American farmer
with a family J 1000 a year.
A survey by the United States de
partment of labor of typical farm
families, the man, his wife and two
or three children, in Iowa, Ohio and
Alabama, arrived at this approximate
figure, according to statistics juBt
made public.
The average cost of living for Iowa
farmers who owned the laud on which
they lived, arrived at by a survey of
212 families, was $1875.90, of which
the fnrm furnished $756. The aver
age of 239 tenant families was SH508,
of which the farm furnished $045.
Families with hired men spent $14111,
of which $r80 came from the land.
In Ohio, 2S3 land-owning fnrm fam
ilies avernged $1!S6, the farm furn
ishing $0(18 of this. Tenant families
averaged $1444, families with hired
men $1243. , .
Less In Alabama
In Alabama, where 147 land-owning
families were Btudied, it was found
an average of $1095 was consumed,
$S19 being furnished by the- fnrm.
Alabama's tenant families lived on
only $1094, and the "croppers"
(people working the land for a per
centage of the products) took only
$819, of which $476 came from the
farm.
In the case of the $1875 a year
Iowa land-owning farmer, .the farm
was credited with $415 in food, $304
j-in rent and $37 in operating expenses.
The $1119 he actually spent was di
vided as follows: Food, $235; cloth
ing, $283: furniture, $38: operating
expense, $225; health, $86; advance
ment, including school, organizations,
vacations, churches, sports, $152;
personal, $28; insuance on life and
health, including savings, $70.

only 83 per cent.
Cultivation of grapes should be
gin early in Oregon in the spring
and continue at frequent iutcrvals
throughout the season until late sum
mer. Usually it is advisable to plow
early in the spring so as to warm
up the Boil for early activity of the
plants, says the experiment station.
.Many growers find it of advantage to
plow toward the vines in the fall and
away from the vines in spring. 'If
such practice is followed, it is easy
to clean out the weed growth by the
use of the grape hoe. After plowing
in the spring, disking is usuall ad
visable, followed by some form of
harrow to form a dust mulch. The
harrow should be used often enough
to prevent the formation of a crust
and to develop a dust mulch that will
stop the evaporation of the soil.

the advent of the new Standard Sedan.
The new good Maxwell has long led in
value all other cars in its field, because as
a dollar-for-dollar buy its quality could not

riding qualities does it surpass all fours,
