: "Every community tnkea n cer

It boys and pirl." nays Mr. Allen.
"Often orKftiilr.utlons will promote
club work and endeavor to Inter

nterprlHrs. A community usually
' finds club members prepared tn ,
take part In local and state Inter
ests and affairs,
"Developing leadership Is one '

other business men offer financial
assistance to club members every
year to carry on their project,
renliitng the Importance and
benefits of pood early training
With Improved methods and Im
proved materials.
"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

methods, will have better homes of
their own and betier farms, result

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.

It takes two or three pounds of
seed to the acre. Each ounce of
