WASniNCTON, Feb. 7. 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.

MANHATTAN, Kas., Feb. 7 De
spite embargo of eastern state's
against poultry from stutes in which
the Knropean fowl pest has broken
out, and despite cancellation of chick
en shows to check the progress of
this epidemic, poultry authorities say
all that is needed to fight the pest
is strict cleanliness and watchfulness".
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,"

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.

zation is said to be the Minnesota

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.
