POULTRY SAVING IS SHOWN TO RAISERS Two Hundred Hon Fanciers Told of Possibilities with Properly Culled Chickens Voultrymnn .Speak. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallls, Sept. 23. Poultry men might havo saved enough money to pay for the world war It they had known SO years ago what Is known today about culling poultry, declared James Dryden, professor of poultry husbandry of tho college In speaking to 250 poultry enthusiasts men, women and children at an all-day culliug school. Professor Dryden spoke on "Need For Culling the Non-layers," and C. S. Brewster, assistant professor of poultry husbandry, discussed "How to Tell tho Layers." In tho afternoon tho men, women, and boys and girls who registered tested thelr ability and passed judg ment on tho laying proclivities of n dozen birds whoso records nro known. Illumination Is an Important fac tor In profitable egg production nnd Is no longer an experiment, In tho opinion of J. C. Rice, noted poul try specialist and professor of poul try husbandry at Cornell uuivcrslty, who spoke beforo a large group of poultrymen at tho Oregon Agricul tural college. Professor Rico advo cates transforming the day Into 13 or 14 hours for getting the best re sults.

"Tho best results wcro obtained from a flock of hens which was given light for feeding at 3 o'clock In tho morning. No, wo don't get up at that tlmo simply sot an alarm clock which turns on tho light." Professor Rico emphasized tho necessity for organization. Ho com plimented Oregon on tho strong or ganization already formed and said that all other states should fall In lino. "Agriculture Is n business nnd not a thing to bo exploited," ho said. "If competition were merely within our own borders 'of America I would tako my chances, but when It Is with soma one In our midst who will take the money back to somo other country, thon I am against that kind of competition. The way (o stop that kind of competition Is by a national law to mako It necessary to brand all eggs brought Into this country and to soil tliom for just what they are.

The Range With The Reputation Several hundred reports received about August 22 point to a produc tion of ulfalfa seod In the United States about ono-thlrd !csh than that of laot year. Drouth In mom of tho Important secd-produc'itj sections, togethor with grasshopper ravages In Kansas, Nebraska, Olduhoinn, nnd South Dakota, Is respor.hlble for tho reduction In a'crcago nnd tho de creuso ylold per aero thM aro impact ed. Tho army nnd wju worms have also dono conslderablb damngo to tho alfalfa Holds In Kaunas, The only two states which usually pro duco large quantities of alfalfa sood that Indicated that a larger acroago than normal would tin ItnrvpHlrwl fnr seed aro Utah and Iduho, and thol production In those States will offset In part tho decrease in production In J somo of tho other States. In Kansas, either tho first or second crops, or both, wcro partially or completely destroyed by gnus-hoppers, worms, or drouth. There Is a possibility that seod may be obtained from tho third crop whorever posts aro not nt work, provided that killing fronts do not occur early. A very small percentage of tho Kansas and Okla homa crop was harvested by tho end or tho third week of august and hauling operations had not commenc ed. Tho shortage and high price of hay In Montana wilt causo many of tho alfalfa fields to bo cut for hay Instead of for sood. Tho acreago do voted to alfalfa seed production In California this season will fall about 25 per cont bolow that of last year nnd about CO per cont bolow normal. Tho prevailing high prices paid for hay nro rosponnlblo largoly for this rcuuctlon In California. In tho Yu ma project, Arizona, tho threshing and roclennlng woru nearly complete ly completed nnd tho seod wus al ready for shipment by August 22. In other soctlnns of tho South Puclflc Division harvesting and throshlng wero just beginning nnd little or no movement of sood had taken place. Tho nvorago prices of alfalfa sood of fered to growors on that dato rang ed from $13.75 to 20.05 per 100 pounds for country-run seed and from $ 15 to $24.75 for recleancd soedf In tho Statos and districts not ed in tho accompanying table. In Arlxona, whero tho early crops near ly always sell at a protnlum, tho prices wero somewhat higher than tho moro or loss nominal prices quoted olsowhoro. In that Stato $25 to $27 por 100 pounds was paid for common alfalfa sood, $28 to $30 for Smooth Peruvian, nnd $3,4 to $35 for Hairy Peruvian, In sections that produco Orirnm alfalfa seed, offors of $30 to $40 per 100 pounds havo boon mado. Tho quanltlty of old sood In tho hands of growers nnd country ship pors was roportod to bo oxtramoly small bocauso high prices and n brisk domand last spring nnd this summor induced tho growers and shlppors to disposo of tholr seod, Tho stocks of scads, carried over by deal ers, according to tho gonoral sood survoy figures, amounted to 4,242, 413 pounds on Juno 30, 1910, as compared with a carry-over last your or 11,320,040 pounds, Tho prospoctlvo production of Hweot clover sood Is ostlmntod to bo about 80 por cont that or Inst yoar, nocnusq this, crop Is produced to u largo extent along irrigation dltchos and In wasto places It Is very diffi cult to obtain closo ustluialcn of acre age and ylold. Doubtless tho high prtco and scarcity or labor will tend to reduce tho quanltlty or this seod which will bo harvested, especially In sections that harvest most of tho crop by hand. A larger ncronga than normal Is expected to bo har vested In Utah and Nobruskn. Homo concorn Is expected by correspond ents less too much or tho seed has been shattered bocnuso tho seed inn lured earllor than usual duo to 'tho dry, hot wonthcr that prevailed In somo or tho most Important produc ing sections.

Prices which wero curront on August 22 ranged from $13 to $17.05 por 100 pounds for hulled country-run sond nnd $14,75 tn $19. 70 for hullod, roclonnod sood. In Kentucky and Mississippi, where tho seed Is sold unhullod, prices or $10 per 100 pounds for country-run nnd $12 to $15 for roclonnod sood woro bolng paid, Vory llttlo swoot clovor sood was carried over from Inst year by grow ers and country shlppors. Dealers roportod stocks on hand on Juno 30, 1010, as 802,075 pounds compared with a carry-ovor lust J'oar of 1,217, 970 pounds.
