SUNDAY, DECEMBER , 19ZS SIX III i I A 1.1 VF 1 I I hi "V i v x-v- i v i Farmers Hold Back Hogs To Feed Low Priced Corn "7 Va , I . sew imm mwuiwm sajnoATioii ij I tt I w't I i i i i i i i i i i i i t i I ; Fever unfinished light hogs nnd plm Are being marketed than usual at this season, showing that hogs are being held back to take Adrantago of low priced corn. The sharp decline In hog prices In October still left them fully a dollar higher than they were from October to December, 1924. The decline was partly due to an ac tual increase In receipts and partly to an anticipated increase. As an Average of the past ten years, three million hogs have been slaughtered in October and five million In December, or an In crease of 67 per cent. If receipts show A corresponding . gain this year, prices are likely to yield further until a level is reached at which packers are willing to ac cumulate hog products in stor age.M . Domestic consuming demand continues broad, but export buy ing is indifferent. Stocks of meats and lard accumulated in storage last winter and spring have been well cleaned up. The highly fa vorable feeding ratio between hogs and corn is certain to stimulate hog production, but it will be at least a year before the Increase will show up In larger market re ceipts. Farmers who recall previ ous periods of low priced hogs and high priced corn will Increase their herd a cautiously, however. Silo Erected and Usage Shows Gain 1 . $ CHICAGO One of the surest Indications of returning farm pros perity and stabilisation of farming operations is seen in the renewed Interest In silage feeding and the Increased silo building, according to A. J. R. Curtis. "Just before the war and dur ing the war period, silos- engaged the attention of the best minds In the dairying and stock raising fields. Silos, then bearing the title 'Pillars of Progress also received much attention by farmers who were closely studying ways and means of increasing farm efficiency and profit. Although this interest lagged somewhat fol lowing the slump in farm pros perity, the past two years, and es pecially during 1925, evidence ap pears on all sides that silos and silage feeding are Again being given serious Attention by all those interested in Agriculture, Mr. Curtis states. 811 os Economically Be&ofictal Great economic changes have recently made themselves felt In many parts of the country. Dairy ing is becoming more widofpread and experiments conducted by state Agricultural schools and ex perimental stations have de termined that crops other than corn can be used advantageously as silage. This has served to re new interest in winter feeding stock and use of silos, according to reports from the United States department of agriculture. Dr. C. W. Larson of the dairy division of tr.e departme.ir of agri culture recently said: The e'.lo is today of ;rca".r eraiit-mfc impor tance thai at any Uinv ! re lie- cent economic changes l ae nude silage feeding even mi profit able than heretofore to tne man on the ia. n; " Many New Develop mv ; Speaking of the tdvunc4 in silo practice Mr. Curtis sild: "Si. ice the silo was Introdjcel years ago. betterments have come sti-adity. The early sil! were re'ly cru-ie affairs and ottutlm? "f temp r ary construction. During the last few years und.r intern t-te imvsil gttlon and rweur.h the silo has progressed to 'hi point where It 1? (.crmanent, pr inf airainst wind, s-crm, fire aid the rivnu-nts. "Materials hve been lniprcvd and adapted to silo necis until ut present there is a type c. r-ilo suit ed to every locartty nnd require ment. This advan;n.m.t i es pecially true bf cjpere- nnd con crete produces. Nv i-haps sixes, and designs of tho control units have ben brought out and he general quaUry of ".hs prVuct Increased. "An Interesting feature of the newest concrete silos is the pro vision mado for insuring a smooth Inside surface, or increasing the sliD as it is commonly termed. This facilitates settlement of the silage And Improves its quality. Special processes in making tne block and treating them after being placed provides this desir able feature. "This betterment Is noticeable In all the types of concrete silo in cluding the stave, monolithic, block, tile and brick. With better silos nnd conditions that warrant use of silage for feeding, the eco nomical importance of the silo be comes even more pronounced." . Poultry Ideas Tested U. S. Bureau by Male Chicks Grow Faster Than the Females and This Rate of Growth Develops at Once. To determine the soundness of various ideas held by commercial poultrymen, the United. States de partment of agriculture has con ducted experiments leading to ra-l ther conclusive results. From a practical standpoint it is highly de sirable for poultrymen to improve, If possible, the hatchabllity or eggs, to distinguish pullets from roosters at an early age, and to obtain other similar Information commercially important but baffling. There has been considerable divergence of opinion on most of the questions. Hatchabllity, says the depart ment, probably is best improved by testing breeding birds for baclllary, white diarrhea, and eliminating ' affected birds. The size of eggs has no signifi cant effect on their hatchabllity. There hi no significant correla tion between either shape or weight of egg and the sex of the chicken hatched from It. There fore,, from a practical standpoint, poultrymen can not expect to in- uui'hi;b hid sex 01 cnicKs natcnea by selecting eggs according to either shape or size. .While there is a fairly definite relation between the weight of eggs and that of the chicks hatched from them, there Is no significant difference In the weight of either sex, and It is highly improbable that purebred chicks can be sepa rated according to sex at hatch Inc time. ' Male chicks grow faster than the females, and as early as two weeks of ago thore Is a significant dlfforonce In the rato of growth between tho sexes. ' The addition of skim milk to a ration induces much faster growth, tho difference being observable as early as nt tho end of tho sec ond week. This points to the value of BKlm nunc in growing-chick ra tlons. Farm and Home Help (O. A. C Bulletin) - - . Oregon celery, if Deing blanched nt this time of year, should not be allowed to stand botween the boards long nfter It Is fit for use. says the experiment station. After the ehlorophyl of the stalk has ooen changed to a yellow or white depending on tho variety of color. tho quality, hrittlonens and flavor begin to bo lost. Three weeks nre usually the length or tlmo roan I rod to blanch the stalks although this may be shorter or longer depend ing on tno weather. Protection against wlnler Infec tion of Oregon loganberry canes Willi leaf nmnracnnxe, bud I) Iglit nnd rnno die baclc may be ufforded to a considerable extent by spray ing the canes at this time of year with bordeaux mixture, says the experiment station. Tho canes should bo covored from base to tlpi Barnyard manure, particularly bnrso manure, hents up rapidly wMri a loss Of thfl vnlUnblo ilnnt food element nitrogen. In the form of ammonia. This loss can be pre vented, says the O. A. C. experi ment station, almost entirely oy scattering a handful of land plaster or superphosphate In the gutter behind each animal, each day. superpnespnate in audition to preventing the loss of ammonia wilt reinforce the manure with phosphorus in which It Is low. Many Oregon soils are in need of available phosphorus. Tho queen bee mates with the drone or male bee on the wing. Her matings are not under the control of tho beekeeper except as he makes It possible to have a sup ply of good drones and limit the supply of poor, ones, says tho O.-A. C. extension service. The queen be apparently mates but once in her life time. . - . The success of any tile drain age system depends upon tho out lets. During the summer months many of the outlets have clogged oy the growth of vegetation and by caving in of the sides of the outlet ditch. AS the fall work slackens, the farmers find It pays to examine these outlets and clean them so they can work to their maximum capacity. - yenre ngo won Interestingly de scrlbiMt ky Kred I'hws t the SMiuiifcK club meeting, Thursday. Mr. Chess' early lit. was spent In Mexico. He attended school there and associated w.th the Teons. coining in close cctt'.uct with tho Mexican people. According (o Mr. Clies.1. Mcx'.ro at that ttme was one of l,he moot Illiterate eountrlea In the world. The average ,irn.r's salary wan from seven to eight dollars with which he had to support his fam ily, send them to school, and pay house rent. The school tuition was two dollars a month so It was Impossible to send their children to school. There are only two oIumcs. the peons and the aristocrats . It Is practically Impossible for the peons to ralso their standing as the poor Americans do in tho t'nlted States. The boys nnd girls can not sec each other except at the Sunday afternoon program nt the plasa, until they nre married. Whenever they go out of their homo they nre always chaperoned by servants. Mexican people are raised on gore. Murders are commuted every day. It depends upon the Influ ence of the person committing what his pcnnlty shall be. l'ollco men stand on every corner, but murders are done in the mlildte of the block which they do not see. The girls of tho high school nre showing Increased Interest In class basket ball this year. About eO signed up for practico Monday and since that time a number have added their names to tho list.

Thts committee will bo made up of girls who are familiar with the members of tho girls' athletic association so that those who aro best suited for tho position may be nominated. ... The need for a new constitution was realized by tho student coun cil at a meeting held December z. Students who wish changes in the constitution may give their ideas to 'any member of the council. Tho library has been very for tunate this week In receiving two gifts, one from Fred Chess, who gave one dollar and fifteen cents for the purpose of purchasing ma terial, and the other donor was Dr. Del Stanard. who gave the library many National Geographic mag azines.

Independent Garage Telephone 2232-R Controlling the Hoot Ixiunc The strawberry root louae, a rel atively new Insect pest In Oregon, Is controlled ny setting out untn fented strawberry plants, says the entomologist of the experiment station. When setting out straw berries It Is advicable to dtp the plants In a nicotine solution If a few nphlds arc present. This kills the aphids that have already hatched. It will not affect the small, black, shiny eggs, however. that are deposited on the under side of the leaves. Sepia Pigs Surprise in Breeding Experiments Tnbrceding experiments con ducted bv the bureau of animal In dustry, United. States department with swlno have resulted In n number of animals possessing very unusual characteristics. The mnnt outstanding result obtained thus fnr in the first generation of brother-Bister mating In swine has beon the segregation of certain peculiar coat-color combinations. One Poland China line produced four white-spotted senla-coored pirn out of a total of 35 farrowed, This la apparently a new color In swtne. Kxper'ments with pigs of tne t;npster wmte breed produced some red-black and white pigs fn the first generation of brothcr-sis ter mating. Tho explanation!) -tot such occur ronces, ore somewhat complex but nre based ennentlally on the opera tion of Mendel's law, Tho object of the studies Is to obtnin a more extended knowledge of factors in volved In animal breeding and how they operate.
