Pierce, Union County farmer and stock-raiser member of of Board of Regents of the Oregon Agricultural College, has started the practice of raising fall calves instea'l of spring calves with very good suc cess. His plan of handling these calves is to have them dropped alonz about November. The cows are placed in covered sheds and fed all the alfal fa hay that they will consume until the following spring. During tins time the calf is so Bmall that it will not eat grass if there is any, and it also has the advantage of being kept indoors during the winter time. About the first of April, the row with her young calf is turned out on the mountain ranges. Here, due to the green grass, the milk flow of the cow is very much increased. The calf now being a few months old will he able to handle this increase without difficulty. The calf runs on the ranpe until about the first of July when it is taken to the valley and weaned, and turned on new mown meadows or alfalfa or clover pastures. In this manner the calf avoids the shortage of pasture during the drier months of the summer. Also the calf is weaned at a time when the cow will dry up much more quickly when put back into the mountains on the dry feed. From the alfalfa pasture or the meadows the calves are turned into the stubble fields and allowed to run there until late in the fall when they are put into lots and fed all the al falfa hay they will eat. Most of them are then sold at from 12 to 15 months of age. This method of handling calves, Mr. Pierce thinks, has many advan tages. First, the calf comes during the time of the year when the cow will not give an oversupply of milk, due to not having green grass, but on good alfalfa hay will give an abun dance for all present needs. Then when the cow is turned on the green pasture in the spring time the milk flow is Increased but the calf is large enough at this time to handle it all to very good advantage. Another thing. Weaning the calves coming along about the first of July, the dry pasture is avoided when the calves really do make as good gains as at other times of the year. It is also possible to market the cattle at an earlier age, due to good feed and care. As Mr. Pierce says, "The Fall calf never stops growing, but can be got ten to the butcher a good deal more quickly and cheaply than can the spring calf." A fine bunch of these calves was to be seen at Mr. Pierce's SHEEP DECLINE IX OREGON'. An announcement just made by the Forest Service, covering the graz ing business on the National Forests for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1915, shows a decrease of over 100, 000 In the number of sheep grazed on the Forests of Oregon, and an In crease of approximately 44.000 In the number grazed in the Forests of Washington. For several years past the grazing business on the Forests of Oregon has been in excess of that in Wash ington, but the influx of settlers in those parts of Oregon where good forage was to be found has made it difficult for the big stock owners to find sufficient winter range for their sheep. This fact, combined with the recent high prices of wool and mut ton, has led many sheepmen to sell out. In Washington there has not only been an increase in settlement, but also an increase in available Na tional Forest range, which has in duced many to go into the sheep business. Hence, the Oregon sheep men found the Washington ranchers ready to buy their sheep. There has been an increase in the cattle business in both states over 10,000 increase in Oregon and nearly 3,00 head in Washington. Many of these new cattle men were formerly sheep owners grazing stock on the National Forest. National Wool-grower. Offers Special Silver Trophy. Salem, Ore., Sept. 24.

Neel were taking in the Morrow County Fair the past week, and enjoyed a good time with their many relatives and friends here. Mr. Cummings Effuses the Fair on The following poetry is the out come of the inspiration with which Harry Cummings was seized after vis iting the exhibits at the Morrow County Fair- Mr. Cummings has al ways been an earnest and consistent booster for Morrow county soil and climate. The copy below contains the introduction used by the author in reciting the poem to Fair visitors Fri day afternoon. Ladies, Gentlemen and Visiting Friends: The people of Morrow county have an abundance of those qualities that bring success. God, in his wisdom, has given them the cli mate and the soil. He has also given them the faculty to get the most from their opportunities. It was deemed most advisable to hold these county fairs that all those good people from Missouri may be shown. In appre ciation of the splendid efforts of our people to make this fair a success, I have written some verses, entitled "Our Morrow County Fair," which I am permitted to read to you. Another year has quickly past, Laughter is ringing in the air, The people now are coming fast To attend our county fair. They are coming In from every way, They will make this fair a great suc cess; They have planned and worked and now today They are coming in with all the best Of all the things that they have grown, That in this fair they may be shown There are so many kinds of grain, And such splendid sheaves of wheat, Although they had but little rain, These samples can't be beat. When it comes to corn and cabbage, D. Cox beats all the rest, And of all the great big squashes, Billy Bayless grows the best; For fine grapes and watermelons, Sushauer takes the lead. Say, some fellows stole the melon I bought of him for seed. George Rand excells in apricots; His muskmelons are so fine, George has a lot of trouble To keep them on the vine. Mrs. Roadruck makes the best pre serves, They are bo pleasing to the eye, You would like it it you could A sample of them try. French Burroughs grows big apples, Fine pears and peaches too; It is a treat to anyone, His fine orchard to go through. Just see those fine big onions, Gosh, but arn't they great, Grown here in Morrow county, They can't beat them In the state. See those beets and mangle-wurtzels, How the dickens can they grow, And get such monstrous whoppers, In time for the county show. They have peaches that will weigh a pound; Their flavor can't be beat. Now just go on and look around, And your surprise will be complete. Take off your hate to Minor Brothers. They have the best display Of all the things grown on the farm, Placed in a most artistic way. Say, I must quit or I will miss something.
