Poultry: The et!k'iem-y of the ra
tion depends largely upon a liberal
supply of green feed. The fowls
should have all they will eat of some
kind of green stuff every Jay. A
piolitable egg yield cannot be secur
ed without it. Feed kale or oilier
greens. Feed liberally and regular
ly and keep the hens busy.
Horticulture: The empty sugar
barrel will cause no alarm to the
thrifty houselwife who, undestamls
and practices home drying methods
when canning time comes next sea
son. .Farm Management: A dollar's
worth of paint will cover more dol
lars' worth of lumber on your farm
buildings today than ever before.
Soils: The amount f phosphorous
in many Oregon soils as compared
with other plant food elements is re
latively low. If the phosphorous con
tent of these soils is to be kept up
they must receive an application c
phosphate at least once in a rotation.
Dairy: Ensilage is now a complete
feed. It should be fed Iwith hay anil
some mill feed. For dairy cows 30
to 40 pounds daily in two feeds after
milking is an ordinary amount. It
can be fed to advantage to nearly all
classes of livestock.
The costs of silos in some Instances
have been saved in a single year.
The silo may be home made or of
the manufactured or "patent" type.
LIGHT, NOT CLIMATE, REGULATES PLANT LIFE
A. B. Cre . Department of Agriculture's scientist, has proved
that it is light and not climate which controls plant growth. He
has made -violets produce two blooms In one year Instead of one. He
uses strong electric lights to gain added "exposures." He is here
shown at his work in Washington
A Boy Can Run a
John Deere Dain Mower
While you are getting
things in shape for making
hay, put your boy on the
John Deere Mower and let
him do the cutting he will
do it just as well and just
as easily as you can do it.
Because of the powerful
lift, he can easily raise the
cutter bar to pass over any
field obstruction or to ex
treme height, when neces
sary. A foot lever, working
in conjunction with the
hand lever, makes the lift
simple and easy.
He will never have to bick op
to get start, even In the heaviest
hey. The knile starts cutting the
Instant the mower is thrown in
(ear no lost motion.
You will see big advantages la

so placed that one est holds the

The John Dear wiU cut all of
the grass for years to come a
simple adjustment takes up all
lag in the cutter bar, without
affecting the centering of the
knife. If the knife ever needs re
centering, a special adjustment is
provided.
The John Deere Is the simplest,
most powerful and best -built
mower we have ever seen. We
know it will appeal to too.

Training State Blind
Is Proven Practical
The practicability of training the
blind in work that is remunerative is
shown by the school for the blind
maintained in Portland. Dozens of
helpless sightless persons have been
taken from the streets and taught
Hades and arts that have made them
M-if supporting. It is because of the
success of this institution which is
(i n only to the blind of Portland,
in ins maintained by the school dis
trict, that the blind people and other.
,i;e seeking now to have a state in
stitution which will enable the blind
throughout the state to have the ben
i fit of this training.
The question appears on the bal
lot at the state election May 21st in
Hie form of a bill prepared by the
Legislature providing a levy of one
sixth of one mill for next year to es
tablish the institution and one-twen-ty-tiftli
of one mill each year there
afi.iT to maintain it. The amount
raised (will be sufficient to provide for
all tli" adult blind of the state.
The institution will be a means
not only of making the lives of the
blind happier by giving them voca
tional training and employment to
occupy their dark hours, but It will
also relieve charity of the increasing
burden of caring for large numbers
of them.
The committee made up of blind
and others is receiving endorsements
from all over the state" from granges,
and the prospects for the blind bill
being adopted are considered excep
tionally good. The measure has the
ballot number 316 and 317. Tim
committee is urging the voters to
