The trouble with the cattle situation is causeil not so murh by n shortage of fecwl, as it is the calling of loans hy private financing agencies. This is the conclusion formed by ibe president's agricultural confer ence, here, after a thorough inventi- gntion into the livestock question. I The conference finds: I 1. That the cattle men faced a ser jious shortage of credit facilities. The breakdown of the old paeker-conimn-ed livestock loan companies, the venkind and restricted conditions of innnv b.cnl banks in the range conn trv and lack of available primary dm count sgoncies li at the mot of the trouble, the ennfernee letirn. Freight Burden ' 2. That n special burden nf trans portation rnsta is laid on the cattle indnstrv. through changes in freight rates and a greater drpreion in price of agricultural products than other products. t 3. That the industry is suffering through lac!; of adequate hiriff pro tection from competition with hides and meat products from foreign coun tries. , 4. That free and unrestricted gracing on public domain bns unduly encouraged many to undertaking live stock raising and has cued over stocking of these land, redured their grazing value, brought out inferior cattle and incurred great losse. Recommendation To save the situation, the confer ence rerommewN: 1. That the federal farm loan hoard provide adequate rediscount fanlitie for livestock lfans through the fed eral intermediate credit bank. 2. That freight rhargei be revised in r'"'" ing from their di-pmpnrtionate sl?are ot franpnrii"n n-i. A. That grazing on public domain ibe restricted, which would improve the quality of the range and the pro 1 duction of cattle therein. 4 That cattle men be helped to im- prove their method of pm.urtion and management to aUDiUM me muusirj.

No poultry losses need be feared, if these strict precautions arc 'ob served, says I'rof. L. F. Payne, head of the department of poultry hus bandry at the Tnnsas State Agricul tural college. His warning, is echoed by word from Dr. .lohn R. Mahler, chief of the TT. S. Bureau of Animal Industry at Washington. "The disease seems to develop at shows." says Prof. Payne, "in feed ing batteries of packing plants, or in poultry cars where the birds are plac ed for shipping. Under farm con ditions the danger doea not seem es pecially great. "The owner of chickens, by avoid ing the shows, hy putting new birds brought on the farm through a oar antine period before turning them in with the other chickens, and by thor oughly disinfecting all ,coops coming from town poultry houses, probably will be able to avoid any outbreak," ONEJASK LESS FOR THE FARMER Innovation Known as the "Plow Mate" Proves Fine Pulverizer When Attached to Beam of the Plow. parations will stop htus from drink ing the water, and so reduro egg pro duction. iMis.iiii; the hens with ! od ium fluoride powder is better. V v i V SOW CLOVER NOW Sweet clover seed should be aown about thi tinii. on ground dificult to cultivnle, no that the rain may be depended on to cover the Reed auffi oiently for (termination. All it needs ia to be Kcattcrcd over tho rough field. J There's one Job less for the farmer, with the Innovation snown here. It's called "plow:mate," because It Is attached to tho beam of the plow and pulverizes the clods of earth as the leave the mold board In plowing. Thus the ground is broken and pulverized In one operation. Tho "plow-mate" Is now being manufactured by a Greenville (0.) firm. IU e TO ID DAYS KEEP WATER PURE Going after poultry lice by doping their water, is not generally recom mended by husbandmen. Such pre SHORT WAY TO PORK Tt takes 042 pounds of corn to make 1W pounds of pork, cites the; Tniversity of Illinois college of agri-I culture, Yet this amount was pro-1 duced with IW7 pounds of corn when1 4'J pounds of tankage was fed as o supplement. FEW GOOD CATTLE Only ahout f per cent of the cattle received at the Chicago livestock mar ket grade as prime or choice. Poor breeding is given ns the chief cause for keeping down the grndo of cattle. PROTEIN FOR POULTRY Sour milk is essential in the poul try diet, A dozen pullets should have at least three quarts of sour milk daily to supply tho necessary amount of animal protein. GRAPE PRUNING On the average, best results have been obtained In pruning grapes dur ing the late winter or very early spring. This should be done after most of the danger of severe freezing in over but before aetivUJy Is ap parent in the flow of nap. Directions for keeping fruit tree records to show tho productive and the nonproductive trees, have been asked of the experiment station re cently by Lane county and other Ore gon growers. A method recommended provides that the grower, usually daring th early part of August, go over the orchard with a specially ruled note book. He makes notes on the con dition of the trees and the prospec tive crop, and whether any tree Is making poor growth, or needs fertil izer. He also estimntea and records tho yield of each individual tree. From these records the grower makes comparisons between the dif ferent trcea in the orchard, and of the yields from year to year. The records provide him at harvest time with an accurate check on his esti mates. The grower tells by the records what trees might be benefitted by an increase of fertilizer. Later he sees what ban been the effect of such an increase on the yield and the condi tion of the tree. He may find It nec essary in some cases to pull the trees that do not respond to the added cars and expense. That the shipping of dny-old chicks across state lines is not affected by, tho quarantine ami embargo regula tions against the fowl plague is the nssurance to Oregon poultry breeders given by the state college experiment station. The fowl pest has caused consid erable iqistt-rnntion and actual loss in middle western states and some states further east, says 1r. R. T. Simms, hnad of the veterinary medi cine department, but hns not appeared in any state as" far west as the Itocky mountains so far ns known. ln fonnded reports tend to throw a panic iuto some poultry growers and dam age tho breeders correspondingly. Ir. L. F. Pelton, state veterinarian of Washington, hns wired Ir. Simms that the regulations made by that state do not apply to day-old chirks. The same may be said of the Cali fornia regulations, and as far as known, of those of Idnho and other stntes. LEADS IN BUTTER The greatest butter selling organi zation is said to be the Minnesota Co-operative Creamerirs Assnciailon, representing 4tX) creameries in that stnte. The organization hns been sell ing about $1,000,000 worth of butter a mouth. BIG FLOOD LOSSES Nearly $:!n.000.000 was lost during the year ending July 1, 1!IM, through unpreventable loss from the three great floods ancl a number of lesser ones in that period. Value nf prop erty saved through flood warnings waa $1.,000,000. (Bv NEA Service ST. VaI'L. Minn., Feb. 7. A new method for blanching celery 'wbile you wait," that is, in from six to ten days, ns compared with present day methods of hilling and hoarding up, which take from three to six weeks, has been discovered by Dr. R. R. Harvey and L. O. Itegeimbal, plant physiologist of tho University of Minnesota. There is a possibility that by the new svstem celery can lie blanched sufficiently for the trade while it is 1U IXHIJIMl 111 llnt i-Hirt. Dark cloudy weather and low tem peratures last summer held back the celery crop, in some instances frost appearing before the natural time for blanching bad arrived. It occurred to Dr. Hnrvey that some method whereby this green celery could be blanched quickly would be of com- ' meri'inl advantage. Kthylene gns has been used for sev eral years in causing oranges and lemons to turn yellow. Dr. Harvey believed it would do ns much for cel ery and entered upon a scries of ex periments, "On trenting celery placed in con tainers with ethylene gns tho leaves and stalks lose their gree(n color nnd become a rich golden yellow with the exact appearance of celery which has been very carefully and fully blanch ed by hilling or in storage," says Dr.1 Harvey. "The stalks which have been trrntpd with "ethvlene seem more brit- tic, less stringy nnd sweeter than celery which hns not been treated, j "The gns has no bleaching action I and is not poisonous. It seems mere ly to hasten the natural blenching process which would occur if the plants were billed up or placed In j storage in darkness." i Dr. Harvey adds that the expense for gns is trifling not to exceed TiO cents for an entire carload of celery.; As the treatment is still in the ex perimental stage, ho warns that it should not ho attempted by celery: growers without tho aid of the ex periment station. Grass and Stalks Are Plowed Under Orn.in, ptrnw, rnrn awl cotton fltalkR, wherever they mny be, should be plowed under dnrinn the winter months, whenever the weather por- I mils. i Itr urh aetion this organic matter, j ileenjitiK in the ground, contributes tt j mibKtnnce to the noil wliieh increnwrs ts water-holding power. It prevents elny soils from linking and serves as 'a food bneteria. It will also prevent ' washing of tho soil, to sonic extent. j Winter Damaged I Wheat Plantings Are Needed Now t I ''Winter damage to ex reed :i.(W. 000 was suffered by winter wheat alone in the Willamette valley.
