IllECfOH GLOBE II. A. HARTSHORN Fnbllibtr, FRIDAY, JAN. 15. ,1900. , IB. P. j;'"L L IBOT IK TURKEYS . , '..is -on OF VISITOR Eastern Oregon U bound to be come the great: turkey -raising section of the Pacific Northwest, in the 4 opinion; of an observer who has been in Gilliam and Morrow counties. "They, herd turkeys in those prairies juBt as they used to herd sheep, in great droves," said he "and the birds thrive from the time they are hatched until they are ready for market One farmer on Willow creek had a band of M) last fall, and the herder used to take them on to the stubble . fields in the morning and drive them back to the corral at night The turkeys fattened on the scattered grain, and as they did not eat the grass the owner did hot care how many turkeys were "herded in the field. Finally, just! before Thanksgiv ing, the band were driven to Wotte Station and shipped to Portland. The producer was paid 60 cents a head for the birds and. thought he did, well, while the same turkeys cost the consumers, from $1.50 to $3.00 apiece.'' The climate of the Inland Em pire is peculiarly, adapted to tur keys, being dry and clear for the better part of the! year. The birds are allowed to roam over a vast area in search of grain and seeds, but the herder must be on the lookout constantly for coyotes for the animals have discovered that turkey- meat is juicy and tender, and they will often take chances oa being shot while in quest of a bird for supper. That region used : to. . be devoted to sheep pasture, when the govern ment owned the , land, and. the range was free. It is all cut up into farms now, and farming has taken the place of wool growing; The turkey . does not interfere with the farming. Observer. lVaBasraNaNKBMuarsi W.

Mm btrvd TALKS UPGN MOS- OF DRY HUNG Probably' the best institute of its kind ever held in the city of Walla Walla, is the way the Un ion characterized the meeting held there recently and at which subjects of particular interest and , value to those connected with agriculture and stock rais ing were discussed., Dry land, farming occupied ' a prominent place in the discussions and the following is a synopsis of the ad dress by R, W. Thatcher on the subject: "Methods of Dry' LaVid Farming." -,4V "After your plowing haibeon j completed, .use' a sub-suriace packer. A subsurface packer is better for the reasan that you do not want the top of the soil packed. : Follow . the packer with a harrow. -.The whole the ory of producing a proper mulch is to follow the pfdw immediatly with the harrow. Better results can be had in this way than any other system. ' 'The treatment following this is called summer . cultivation. Some difficulty is experienced in the use of the spike tooth har row as it pulverizes. Whereas the ideal condition of the soil is to have the bottom fur rough packed with the top- layer left loose. . , . .. . Successful summer cultivation means keeping weeds from get ting too large to cut down by any of the implements used for that purpose. , "After the fall wheat has been seeded., if the soil has been prop erly handled, there will be a good fall growth. I think there are distinct values in cultivating wheat in the fall. Also, the more wheat is cultivated in the spring the better the soil will re tain more moisture for the grow ing period. . "Wherever there is 15 inches of rainfall, two crops may be raised on the land. It seems a great pity that the land should lie idle every other year. "There is a very , distinct ad vantage in dnr laod farming- to have the rainfall come -during, the season in which it comes in this country. When the rainfall comes in the summer it - passes out of the ground by evaporation At 't . ' ' . ana me iana aoes no: receive the amount of benefit - that it, does otherwise." 1 City Election at Arlington. - ' At the Arlington. election. on January 5th, the local , option ists won out by a handsome majority.
