'.Vich noil, ill good producing con
cliion is necessary to secure a large
yield of root crops In Oregon, flndi
the experiment. : tntion. . Applicants
of 20 to 40 tons of barnyard manure
an acre are not uncommon, and the
crops are In such cases often grown
on the same land several year3 in
succession. Cost of handling makes
it desirable to produce this heavy
yielding, water crop fairly close to
the place where it is to be stored.
Commercial fertilizers, particularly
superphosphate in the coast region,
help to secure a larger yield of
roots. r
That most consistent re. ults in
potato seed disinfection have come
from the use of corrosive sublimate,
nre the findings of the Oregon ex
periment station, and experienced
growers are now inclined the use
this method in preference to any
other. While hot formaldehyde is
effective in killing Ehizoctonia on the
i urf ace of tubers, the heating of the
solution is usually considered too
inconvenient, and cold formaldehyde
is not effective, it is found.
pu'ku a little longer.
There may be different kinds of
soil in the farm garden and it is
well to consider this when planning
the spring planting. Early crops and
those that need quick, warm soil do
best on high, warm ground. On
moist, low land such crop,; as celery
onions and late cucumber should be
planted.
Calves raised to be fattened as
yearlings should be taught to eat
grain before they are weaned so
they1 can bo weaned with only a
slight interruption of growth and
loss of milk fat. Los;; feed will be
needed to put them into good con
dition and they can be finished for
market earlier.
Field root crops, including man
gels or cow 'beets, rutabagas, tur
tips find corrots, play an important
part in the dairy and livestock pro
gram in several .cetions of Oregon.
They have long been recognized as
a valuable form of winter succulence.
They may be stored lather cheaply,,
provide an excellent conditioner for
licestock and take the place of a
considerable amount of grain, finds
the experiment station.
Many new method in dairy and
poultry marketing are coming into
use, says the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics U. S. Department of
Agriculture the dressing of poul
Iry at packing establishment-,' the
use of paper containers in selling re
tail milk and cream, the rapidly ex
panding business in frozen eggs, and

Cooperation in keeping each
ranch free for cattail, lupine, mul-
Icn and willows where they inter
fere with the flow in the ditches,
will, also react to every water
user's benefit. Willows look nice
on h treele a plain but when they
choke the canal they act like the
king who killed the goose that layed
the golden egg.

blockwood.

hauling the cut to Maupin, making

The McFarlane mill recently, ex
perienced a tough piece of luck by
having a shaft break. That tied up
operations for a few days. In the
meantime a big dust and slab con
sumer has been started. McFarlane,
Sr., offers any wood outfit the
rlabs free (some 15 tiers each
operating day) if they post a bond
to keep the slabs clear of mill opera
tion daily. A good thing for some
business head to fignre out. A
value of slab wood of from $12.00
to $15.00 per day going up in smoke.
Anyone interested see McFarlane.
N. G. Hedin drove his car to the
fork", above Bear creek last week,
then took a long hike over the snow
fields to canal intake gate at Clear
creek and the Frog lake flume.
Snow at the gates was , fivj feet
deep.
The small flow of water of the
different springs ' along the upper
canal line had opened "the canal
snow for several half-mile stretches.
Hedin turned in what water he dar
ed and barring breaks of back-water
the enow should yield and let water
out to the Flat by May 15th, as
near as water can be estimated.
This is the first year that April snow
prevented the springs' flow from
reaching the Flat during that month.
Continuous low temperatures in the
upper Cascades is thought t0 be re
sponsible. Many farmers are low
on stock and domestic water and all
will watch with interest the results
of the visit Hedin made to the in

Assemblies have not been marked

greatly but now that we have won '

displayed the pennant which our
boys won in basketball. The silver
cup, now really ours, was placed in
Ihe Assembly room. Singing Was
enjoyed.
We are rather at a loss aa to
where would be the best place to
hang the pennant. Some wanted it
hung over the gymnasium door
where it could be teen by all who
entered the hall, and others wanted
it put ir. one of the rooms. The cup
is to be placed in a glass compart
