WHEAT WHAT IT REALLY IS!
Wheat is a seed that is planted
and grown to keep producers broke
and the buyer crazy. The protein
content of wheat varies and the
man who can guess closest to it is
called "wheat grader" by the pub
lic and "fool" by the farmer.
The price of wheat is determined
at primary markets and goes up
when you have sold and goes down
when you have bought.
A group of farmers sent a man to
Edmonton to study the wheat mar
ket. After a few-days' deliberation
he wired them: "Some think-it will
go down and some think it will go
up. I do too. Whatever you do
will be wrong. Act at once."
Wheat is planted in the spring,
mortgaged in the summer and lost
in the fall. D. M. (South Dakota.)

Land Grant College Funds
Saved by United Efforts
Vigorous and continued protests
by farmer organizations through
out the country against the threat
ened cut in federal appropriations
to state experiment stations, exten
sion services and vocational agri
culture, finally brought results ear
ly in February when Senator Chas.
L. McNary of Oregon and Senator
Joe Robinson of Arkansas reached
an agreement and obtained the
consent of President Roosevelt to
cancel the executive order.
Had the order not been rescinded,
all federal appropriations for such
work would have been slashed 25
per cent on March 1, despite the
fact that the federal government is
demanding more service from these
agencies than ever before, says Dr.
W. A. Schonfeld, dean of agricul
ture at Oregon State college, who
was in Washington, D. C, when the
order was finally withdrawn.
Every effort made to save the ap
propriations was valuable, Dean
Schoenfeld believes, and strength
ened the hands of the senators in
the final showdown. McNary, mi
nority leader of the senate, was
able to enlist the support of Robin
son, the majority leader, and their
joint request was quickly agreed to
by the president.
Colts Saved by Feeding
Mares Iodine Regularly
subsequent work has confirmed re
sults obtained In Oregon.
The OSC specialists say there is
undoubtedly a difference in the
amount of iodine required in dif
ferent sections of the state, as well
as of the United States, and breed
ers might well consult the experi
ment station before feeding Iodine,
as it might produce disastrous re
sults if not fed with caution.

HEPPNER BRANCH
The FIRST NATIONAL BANK
OF PORTLAND
will cut down losses of foals from
close to 60 per cent to less than 16
would seem to be highly valuable
just now.
Such a system is announced by
B. W. Rodenwold, in charge of
horse breeding at Oregon State
college, and Dr. B. T. Simms, head
of the veterinary department there.
They have announced results of
their studies into the control of
goiter in foals by feeding iodine
during the last half of the preg
nacy of the mare.
For years the animal husbandry
department at the college experi
enced severe losses in colts, just as
are reported by many breeders.
Over one period of years out of 40
colts that were born only 18 were
raised to maturity.' About half died
within a few days and the deaths
were attributed to navel trouble,
general weakness and other diffi
culties. Careful examination convinced
those in charge that many of these
colts were suffering from thyroid
trouble as the result of a weakened
condition due to faulty nutrition be
fore birth.
Experiments wera conducted with
feeding potassium iodine in five
grain doses to the mares, but it was
without effect. Then the dose was
increased to 15 grains a week to
each mare during the last half of
the gestation period, and the re
suit was immediate. Out of 19
foals born under such condition
16 were raised, and only one of the
remainder had any indication of
goiter.
Since then this practice of feed
ing iodine to mares has been con
tinued at the college and practically
all of the trouble with weak colts
has disappeared. The word was
passed on to other experiment sta
tions in "goiterous areas' where
a nation-wide hook-up through the
National Broadcasting company.
Winning debate teams will be se
lected in ea:b of 11 district. Win
ners are then selected for eastern
and western Oregon, and these sec
tional champions will meet about
May 5 in a broadcast debate of ra
dio station KOAC. District winners
must be determined by March 5, and
the sectional winners by April 18,
Mr. Collier says.
