"From on agricultural stand point any community Is bettered by the Improved products pro duced in it. Crops ar better and purebred stock Is brought in to the locality, liny and torts who tirow up under training? In scientific methods, will have better homes of their own and betier farms, result ins in an Improved nation. Livestock Thrives on Western Ranges Live a lock and range conditions are very favorable tn the western tales with cattle and sheep going Jntb the winter In very good con dition with good prospects for winter range and an ample supply of feed according to the monthly livestock and range report issued by the division of crop and live stock estimates of the U. S. de partment of agriculture. Winter ranges generally carry a irooa supply or reed, showing a marked improvement over year ago. The snow that covered some flections of Montana. Wyoming? and Colorado early in November has melted and the winter ranges gen erally carry little snow. In the sout n west ranges show a slight seasonal decline In condition but the feed la generally ample with a good supply of moisture, except in a few spots In New Mexico. West of the divide the range nrosnects are the best in years with plenty oi snow ana moisture to start the gross for next year. The desert ranges In the west are good with a generally good supply of water. Pastures and range feeds are short Jn Oklahoma and a small section of Western Kansas. The supply of hay and feed crops are generally Food. The condition of the ranges is 91 pep cent of normal compared with 93 per per cent last month. 77 per . cent a year ago and 93 per cent two years ago. Cattle in the western country are going Into the winter In fine shape following good feed condi tions during the fall.- West of the divide, cattle are In unusually good condition, while In the southwest cattle have shown a de cided gain during the fall and are entering the winter Jn good condi tion. Oklahoma is the only state, that reports cattle In only fair con dition. Cattle In the range country are entering the winter in such fetter shape than a year ago. The i cattle Industry now carries a more optimistic tone, local trading is in evidence and there are reports of a little restocking in somo sec tions. The condition of cattle Is 93 per cent of normal compared with 93 per cent last month, 85 per cent a year ago, and 93 per cent two years ago. Sheep in the western stales are generally in excellent shape and are mostly on winter range. Range conditions during the fnll were generally favorable for sheep and winter prospects are most favor able. The sheep Industry has had a favorable year, although early conditions in the southwest were not the best. Reports from the range states indicate that many t-we lamtts have been held and that there has been a strong de mand for old ewes to build up small flocks. The condition of sheep Is 98 per cent of normal compared with ' 99 per cent last month. 89 per cent a year ago and 97 per cent two years ago. Following Is a report of con dltlons In three western states: Washington: i Cattle and sheep doing well with little change dur- lng November. Fair amount of feed on dry ranges but due to late rains there is little new feed. Mild, open weather has conserved feed supplies, which seem ample for all needs 'unless winter proves long and severe. Oregon: Fairly good fall Jrras reported from some sections but not sufficient to support- stock without additional feed. Hay gen erally plentiful due to good crop and less cattle than usunl. Many ewe lambs held and many ewes In some flocks. Livestock in very good to excellent condition. Idaho: An open fall has favored livestock. Hay supplies abundant and field pastures excellent. Prom ising outlook for range next year due to abundant moisture. Live stock in excellent shape. Effect of Roundworms 1 on the Growth of Hogt The Influence of Yr;olte In siunung me k row in oi commonly recognised but there are few Instances In which the effect sas been actually measured. The Tntled Slates department f agri culture- describes such a test wit II large round worms, or ascaiidsi a aerlotis Intestinal parasite. In one experiment pigs, kept exclusively on clean clover pasture- attained a weight of 21$ pounds, while others of the samo age on similar pas ture with access to a wormy hog grew to only 1H2 pounds. In another experiment pigs on pasture with access to a perm anent hog lot alo failed to make good gains in weight. When these pigs were slaughtered It was found that those InTested with the larg est number of worms were those that weighed the lqst. Thus. It seems probable that, alt other things being equal, there is a more or less direct relulion between the number of worms and the rate of gain. Roundworms are readily pre vented by a system of sanitation now widely used. In addition to being more healthy, hogs grown under , this system develop more ovenly and are ready for market from a month to six wveK earner. Sulimur for Hod Spider Red spiders.- which are likely to strike at almost any plant In Ore gon from lowgrowlng annuals to tall trees, develop most rapidly and become most harmful in dry weather. The best protection so far reported by the Oregon experi ment station. Is dusting with sul fur. Most sulfur containing In secticides are effective If applied thoroughly, and some growers use liquid sulfur solutions. Continued success In honey pro duction is not an acciden. It is a combination of good bees, good beekeeping, good equipment, auu a good location. Owoitcrntfoii Pnya Two fool jaoKiiiwes --now got this dime Were tied together with a piece of rone, tv Suld one to the other,' "You cotuo fm wnv. ; t While I take u ntbbte at this now fuown hay. "I won't." said the .other, "You come with me, I'Vr I loo. have some hay you see, So they got nowhere; Just pawed mi dirt. And oh, by golly, how that rope did hurt. . . . Then they faced about, those stub born mules, And said. "Wo are Just like human fools Let's pull together. I'll go your way. Then come with me, and be'll both eat hay J" Welt they ate their hay and Hked And swore to be comrades gooi and true. A a the sun went down they were to say, i "Ah. this is the end of u perfect day.' Now get this lesson don't let It pass; Learn this one thing from the poor jackass: We must pull together 'tis the only way. To put farming on the. mat and put It to stay. Slump irv the Pig Crop Partial failure of the 1934 corn crop, with resultant high prices and unfavorable corn-hog ratio, caused breeders to continue defla tion In piu'k production m that this fall the pig crop averages only S3 per cent of the crop a year ago. The greatest reduction was In the southwest, where the drouth cut feed crops very short. The least reduction was In tho west dairy belt. U will bo almost a year -before Increased swine, breeding will be noticeable, tho foundation finds. This Is due to the fact that It takes a year, fully, to raise gilts to breeding age and It was not until this fall that the bumper crop of corn for 1923 brought about very Winter-Made Pectin Ex ' - tracts in Jellies Certain Fruit Juices Make Good Jellies While Others Are not Considered Suitable for Jelly-Making. - Certain fruit juice makes good Jellies, while others are not com monly considered suitable for jelly making. Sugar, acid, and pectin must be present in fairly definite proportions ior tne lormauon of a jelly. Fruit juices that do not "jell" are usually low in acid ot peatln, or both. It Is possible to supply acid in the form of 1 lemon Juice and pectin by means of home-made pectin extracts from apples or the white peel of oranges and lemons. ' . The use of these pectin extracts In small, measured amounts has several advantages. They can be made during the winter and used later In the spring or summer. They enable one to make good jelly from such fruits as raspber ries, strawberries, peaches, pears, cherries, rhubarb, and others which are often low in natural pectin. They shorten the cooking time of juices, which frequently must be concentrated before they can be used for Jelly making. Most of the pectin extracts are lacking in pronounced flavor and do not greatly modify the natural flavor of the fruits to which they are added. The choice of apples or citrus fruits, for making pec tin extracts is largely a matter of local convenience and expense, al though if it is desired to make these extracts tn the winter and store them for use during a later season, apple -pectin extracts are preferable. Pectin extracts should be used only with rich, full-flavored fruits which are deficient in natural pec- un or wmcn require concentrating before making jelly. They should never be used to conceal the Infer iority of watered juices. Detailed directions for making and using pectin extracts may be obtained from tho United States department of agriculture.- Horticultural News Items (O. A. C. Bulletin) What about those fruit and nut trees of undesirable varieties ? What about that cherry orchard Without adequate pollinizers? Now is a good time to tuke stock of such things determine which ones should he top-worked and to what they should be top-worked. Grafting wood should be secured not later than February- and feturetl. J ' Knock off those mummied fruits hanging on your prune, cherry, peach and apricot trees while pruning this winter. They are one of the worst sources of brown rot Infection. If you have some filberts too dry and hnrd for eating, try re freshing them. Soak them in Water for 6 or 8 hours and then dry them quickly; or, betier still, place them in an open basket in a jar or other container partly filled with water. Tho basket of nuts should be held above the water and the jar should be tight ly covered. In 4 or , 6 duys they will be an good ns new. " Mildewed twigs in apples' and pears should be removed when the troes are pruned this winter. Thjs la one of the necessary steps in mildew control. Planting any new smnll fruit ftttvage this season J Jf you ore, don't overlook the danger of carry ing1 Into your new planting Mosaic or other systematic diseases. No thing but disease free plants should be used. O. A. C. may save you a big loss and a lot of grief by helping you locate such plants. Any time now is the right time to prune grapes. Don't let it go too late into the spring. Peaches should be sprayed with a 6-6-50 bordeaux mixture be tween now and mid-February if they are to be kept free of peach leaf curl. The questionnaires enclosed In the last news letter are being re turned In large numbers. Some very interesting things will be said about them when they are all in. Don't overlook yours; send it In. American Country Life Association Has Meet Conference of Significant Interest to Farmers Was Held This Year in Richmond, Virginia -A meeting of significant inter est to farmers is the annual meet ing of the American country life association. It was held this year In Richmond, Virginia, October 27-31. It was attended by farm ers and representatives of farm organizations as well as those from social, religious, and educational associations and organizations. The discussions and deliberations covered a wide field of topics. The keenest interest, however, prob ably centered round the two topics farmers' income and standards of life. There was a very definite and very general belief that these are so interdependent that It is not possible to consider either apart from the other. Indeed, Income may be even more dependent on standards of life than are such standards on income. There Was general agreement also particu larly it seemed among the farm ers prusent themselves that bet ter schools are the fundamental consideration in improving either one. Farm prosperity in governed by the farmer's ability to apply scien tific methods to the cultivation of the soil in raising crops and to market his product successfully. The' former means knowledge of science of -agriculture; the latter means a ' knowledge of world mrtrkets and of transportation and price problems Involved. Both are dependent on education as well as native ability. Unless our country schools offer sound and efficient elementary and second ary cducntlonal facilities to the farm youth the oncoming genera tion of farmers will be less pros perous than the present one. Liv ing under hew conditions Imposed by a civilization becoming more and more complicated means that fnrm, even more thnn city chil dren, must be able to avail them selves of results of research and Investigation whether concerned with the economic or the social and ethical standards of life. Cucumbers A Tender Crop It takes two or three pounds of seed to the acre. Each ounce of good seed should be sufficient for 30 hills. Boll required Is a well drnined, mndy loam on a south ern slope if possible. Plow deep and harrow. If crop does not grow- properly try an application of ni trate of soda.
