:rk axs waste iullioxs of
dollars of crops.
Europe's war teaches lessons of
thrift to America, and their value is
not lessened through the fact that
the thrift now practiced there is an
enforced thrift. Europeau conserva
tion of resources and energies should
spur Americans anew to war upon
waste.
Wastage of crops Is one of our
weaknesses. Government forecasts
indicate an American harvest this
year worth $12,000,000,000. But
while Germany defies starvation and
nine oposing i.ations through saving
the last crumbs in ltd granaries and
cupboards America will burn thous
ands of tons of grain straw in the
fields that should feed cattle or make
bedding.
American waste of products from
maize exceeds even that of the straw
of wheat. One student of the value
of byproducts calculates that our
wastage of corn products amounts to
$200,000,000 annually, which comes
to half of the gross cost of the Pan
ama canal. His estimate confines it
self to wastage in the field through
letting the stalk of the maize oxidize
and decay. During the last 20 years
the monetary loss from waste of the
byproducts of corn, it is calculated,
has exceeded $2,000,000,000 the
amount that this year's yield of corn
is expected to be worth. Statisticians
reckon that scientific conservation of
the byproducts from maize would add
not less than $500,000,000 annually
to its value.
The national department of agri
culture estimates that spoiled eggs
annually lose Americans $40,000,000,
and maintains that this loss might be
avoided merely through banishing
the rooster from the flock when he
is not needed for breeding. . Fertil
ized eggs without cold storage stay
good only half as long as Infertile
eggs.
The potato offers another occasion
for the waste of millions, both in the
product and in values. The Maine
crop of 25,000,000 bushels annually
loses 700,000 bushels in shipment,
and wastes $280,000. As Maine po
tatoes form only a twentieth of the
nation's yearly yield of potatoes the
total loss the country through must
be enormous. Two years ago, in ad
dition millions of bushels rotted in
the ground at the San Joaquin dis
trict of California and the Walfa Wal
la district of Oregon.
Wastage of fruit Is an old, old
story to the Pacific northwest.. It is
enough to remark now that govern
ment experts declare that domestic
canning of fruits would save $100,
000,000 every year to the people of
the United States. Housewives, when
they use scientific management in the
kitchen, can enrich the nation with
$200,000,000 more every twelve
month. American wastage of food
products costs the country enough to
support an army of 1,000,000 sol
diers, run the government for years
or build Panamo canals galore.
Spokesman-Review.
DECADENCE OF SHEEP
INDUSTRY.
That the number of sheep in tlii?
country is rapidly being decreased is
apparent. An exchange says that
May usually attracts a considerable
number of native lambs and their
mothers to the Chicago market. Till?
year the usual run did not show up
and it is only logical that they are not
in the country. Wool buyers that have
been scouring Iowa, Illinois and In
diana say that flocks that formerly
existed in those states have disap
peared. Every report indicates a ma
terial decline in the wool clip of thost
sections and this necessarily means
also, a shortage in native lambs,

"FIRST FOR THIRST -ir
& at tour favorite Jountain
Portland, Ore., June 29. 1915.
in view of the recent decision of the
United States Supreme Court in the
Oregon & California land grant case,
the matter has become one for ac
tion by the citizens of this state.
Some decision must be arrived at by
Congress within six mouths from the
date of the Supreme Court decision,
and five months ot that time will
elapse before the beginning of the
next session of Congress, leaving only
one month in which to have the qiK's
tion acted upon by both houses. In
order to expedite matters and to se
cure all necessary data, Oregon's
congressional delegation, consisting
of two senators and three representa
tives, will cooperate with the Port
land Chamber of Commerce and a
series ot conferences will be held to
determine the standing of settlers
and other interested parties in each
county in which the disputed land is
located. It is believed that by taking
vigorous action during the Summer
and Fall all facts and figures can be
collected and tabulated in such form
that Congress will be able to reach
a decision without delay. As on this
decision depends the winning or los
ing by Oregon of several million dol
lars, It is of the utmost importance
that no time be lost in starting this
Investigation.
No time has been lost by the road
authorities of Multnomah county in
taking advantage ot the permission
granted by the people of this part of
the state at the recent election, to
spend $1,250,000 in paving county
roads. On Monday, June 21, the
Warren Construction Co. signed a
contract in the office of Roadmaster
Yeon, and three hours later work had
been started on the first unit of the
Sandy Road, just outside the city
limits. Two days later the finishing
coat had been applied to this section
and preliminary work on the next
unit was well under way. Contracts
for paving the Columbia Highway
and other county roads were signed
the same day and work started with
almost equal promptness.
For the purpose of handling poul
try products to the best advantage, a
"Poultry and Egg Circle" has been
organized at Corvallis under the di
rection of experts of the Agricultural
College. The new association has al
ready made arrangements to han
dle the products of flocks aggregat
ing more than 3,000 fowls. The eggs
will be graded, candled and marked
with the association stamp. A mar
ket has already been established
which will represent a marked in
crease in returns from this source. If
found to work satisfactorily, it is pro
posed to organize similar circles all
over the state.
That Oregon dairies rank among
the very best in the United States Is
indicated by the action of the judges
at the Panama-Pacific Exposition at
San Francisco in awarding the grand
prize, consisting of a gold medal and
$100 In gold, for the highest average
scored by ten samples of Oregon milk
exhibited. Medals were also awarded
for the extremely low bacteria count
in samples of Oregon milk and cream
no other samples having made any
where near as good a showing.
