Pea Vine Silage Found Good For Lamb Feeding Union Many inquiries have been received from time to time as to the feeding value of pea vines, a by-prouuet of the rapidly expanding pea canning industry of eastern Oregon and Washington. In order to obtain some informa tion on the subject these were in eluded in the materials fed in lamb fattening experiments at the live stock branch experiment station here last fall. If pea vines are properly fed in connection with al falfa hay they constitute a valua ble addition to the ration and will replace alfalfa hay in the ratio of approximately three pounds to one of hay. Pea vines used in the experiment were hauled directly from the Mil-ton-Freewater district and were run through a hay chopper before being trampled into a trench silo. Thus treated, the pea vines changed into silage with little waste. Three lots of lambs were fed all of the silage they would clean up, together with varying amounts of grain and hay. Best results were obtained when the pea vines were fedj with one pound of chopped al falfa hay per head each day, and whole wheat On such a ration the lambs consumed an average of 3.7 pounds of pea vines per head each day and made good gains. The feed cost per pound of gain with this ration was about the same as when the lambs were fed wheat or barley with alfalfa. The lot of lambs fed pea vines without alfalfa or with less than a pound a day did not make satisfactory gains and hence the gains made were at relatively high cost An observation of salt require ments of lambs on fattening ra tions showed that the lambs mat ing the best gains consumed the largest amount of salt Forty lambs on grain, hay and whole barley ra tions which made slow gains con sumed only 96 pounds of salt for the 88-day feeding period while 40 lambs on good rations of alfalfa hay and grain consumed 114 pounds in the same period. About one pound of salt per head per month is tne average requirement STATE CAPITAL NEWS (Continued from First Fagt) House during the last session, is said to be ambitious for advance ment to the upper chamber. There appears to be considerable room for argument as to what can be expected to happen to the House membership. Last session the Den ocrats controlled the House for the first time in more than 60 years with 38 members in the regular ses sion and 34 in the special. Repub licans, calling attention to their normal majority in the state regis trations, insist that this can not happen again at least for another 60 years in which event there will be a sizeable turn-over is the House personnel on this account to begin with. Democrats, on the other hand, have been digging in ever since their major victory of 1934 and are preparing to defend their gains with all the heavy artillery they can bring to bear on the ene- my camp in the approaching battle of the ballots. A number of the House members, however, will not try for a come back. Howard Lat- ourette, Multnomah county demO' crat, wilj try for election as na tional committeeman and E. W. Kirkpatrick, Clackamas county aemocrat, is already out as an avowed candidate for Congress. Among the republican members several are said to be anxious for advancement to the senate. Among these are W. A. Johnson of Grants Pass and Harvey Wells of Port' .land, the former having already de- clared his intentions. The state supreme court handed the Home Rule amendment knock-out blow this week so far as traffic regulation is concerned, In an opinion by Justice Bailey the court held that when city traffic laws conflict with state laws the latter are paramount The opin- ion represents a complete reversal of the court's position in the case Kalich vs. Knapp in 1914 in which a state law was held to be uncon stitutional because it attempted to regulate the speed of automobiles in the city of Portland. In its opin- ion this week the court held that the state has and retains, either by act of the legislature or by vote of the electorate, the right to en act general laws prescribing the speed of motor vehicles and gen eral rules regulating traffic on the highways of the state, which right when exercised cannot be curtailed, infringed upon or anulled by local authorities. Oregon motorists have paid grand total of more than $64,000,000 in gasoline taxes since this source of revenue was first adopted in 1919, The state emergency board meeting here today (Thursday) to consider requests for deficiency ap- propriations totalling more than $23,000. This is the first meeting of the board since the session short ly after the close of the 1935 regu- lar session when two of the mem bers were held to be disqualified because they had accepted other public employment and forfeited their seats in the legislature. Top- ping the requests for help before the board today are two from H. Gram, state labor commissioner, one for $7098 for the bureau of la bor, and another for $7010 to fin ance the work of the industrial welfare division. O. D. Adams, Btale director of vocational educa tion, is asking for an appropriation of $3472.73 for a mining survey In cooperation with the federal gov ernment which will match the state money. Wallace S. Wharton, new, ly installed executive secretary to the governor, is asking for another $5500 to run the budget department. Four thousand Oregon employ ables who were at work on sea onal jobs last November are out of luck now so far as jobs on re lief projects go. Governor Martin asked the WPA to advance the re lief registration date to May 1 so that these workers could qualify for jobs but the federal adminis trator refused to accede to the re quest As a result those who were not on relief rolls November 1 can not find jobs on relief projects. The budget department is steal ing the legislature's thunder. When the lawmakers met in 1935 they de creed that salary savings in self supported state activities should go into the general fund.. Now the budget makers are taking credit for this salary diversion as savings brought about by this department Is fact they admit that these sal ary diversions constitute the big end of the departments alleged $195,000 in "actual savings" accom plished during the past year. Seins may be nets to the average individual but not to the fishermen of the Columbia river. There a per ennial fight wages between the seiners and the gill netters. The latter are sponsoring an initiative measure to bar the seiners from the river along with fish wheels and traps. This week the seiners hit back at their rivals with a measure of their own in which they propose to cut down the length of gill nets from 250 to 150 fathoms. If the seins are barred, these fishermen say, the seiners will have to join the gill netters in order to earn a livelihood, and since the river is al ready pretty well taken up with nets they want to make them small er in order to make room for more. Both measures will probably be before the voters next November, Industrial employment in Oregon back to within 10 percent of the peak of 1929 according to records of the state industrial accident commission. High point in em ployment among industries covered by the workmens compensation fund was December, 1929, when ap proximately 120,000 workers were on the commission's rolls. The low employment record was reached in February, 1933, when contributions to the compensation fund covered only 60,500 workers. Records for October, 1935, show that employ ment was back up to 2,986,698 man- days or approximately 114,875 in dividual workers. The Grim Reaper got off to good start this year with 22 vic tims killed In automobile accidents during January. That was five more than the record for January, 1935. Eleven of the 22 victims were pedestrians. Nine of the fatal ac cidents occurred in Multnomah county and three others in Yamhill county. iiiini'tiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii) At Heppner CHURCHES CltX'KCH OF CHRIST. ALV1N KLEINFELDT.

This is not expected to occur for several years yet, however. Three cooperative plants are expected to be in posi tion to nandie the Clackamas, Mar ion and Lane county flax crops this year and the state prison plant will be devoted to development of flax growing in Polk, Linn and Benton counties until cooperatives are formed to take care of the crops there.

Mrs. isessie wisdom and son Bishop moved to their new resi dence east of town Saturday. The next meeting of the Home Economics club will be with Mrs. A. E. McFarland Thursday, March 5th. All members are cordially In vited to attend. i. Such is often the case with spinach and pea seed among the earliest to be planted. Commercial grow ers of these vegetables frequently prevent this by treating the sed with a dust of an organic mercury compound, such as semesan, or with copper oxide. A circular on treat ing pea seed is available from offi ces of all county agents. Hotbeds in which young vegeta ble plants are growing rarely need to be closed down tightly except in cold weather or at night. Losses of plants caused by "damping-off" are frequently induced by the hot bed operator keeping too warm and humid atmosphere in the frame. Plants, even when young, need some air circulation but with no cold draughts. Good temperatures are 65-75 degrees F. with lower ones prevailing as the plants in crease in size. Amateur vegetable growers who operate hotbeds and grow early vegetable plants will succeed best if the seedlings in the seed rows are not allowed to become too large for transplanting. If seed is sown broadcast or at the rate of eight to the linear inch the plants will have become sufficiently crowded when they have three leaves at which time they are best shifted. O. S. C. extension circular 251 on growing early vegetable plants is available from the office of the local county agent m w w If there is not enough rhubarb in your garden for spring and sum mer harvesting and for forcing in the dark in the winter, plan to set out more plants this spring, obtain ing divisions of vigorous plants sev eral years old and planting the crown and root in a well fertilized hill. The finest rhubarb is forced rhubarb and to replace the hills dug up in November and December more plants are needed each spring. The Extension service has two rhu barb circulars available. SPRING GARDEN TIPS By A. G. B. BOUQUET, O. S. C. Early planting of vegetable seed. especially in cool and moderately wet soil, sometimes results in seed rotting and a poor stand of plants. Rubber itself Back in 1911 I met a great Ger man scientist, Dr. Duisberg, who showed me a set of tires he had made for the Kaiser's car, from artificial rubber of his own inven tion. . I asked him how he did it "It's perfectly simple," he replied "It's done by the polymerization of isoprene. " Which left me right where I was at the start Since then thousands of others have tried to make rubber syn thetically. Some have got better results than others, but nobody yet has produced a rubber substitute that answers all the purposes of natural rubber and costs no more An American company has pro duced something that works, but it is too expensive for ordinary use, The latest report from Germany is that a synthetic rubber superior to the natural article is being made from petroleum. That is doubted by practical rubber men. Some day, however, somebody will turn the trick. Buddha . . geography The sect of Buddhists who live in Tibet regard their high priest, the "Dalai Lama" as their spiritual and temporal ruler. When he dies, they believe, his soud enters the body of a newborn babe, who at once be comes the Dalai Lama The last Dalai Lama died in De cember, 1933, and ever since then the Tibetans have been hunting for a child born at the instant of his death. They have not found one, and have about decided to accept the spiritual overlordship of anoth er Lama, the "Pancham Lama," who has been an exile" in China for twelve years. That may result in putting China in a position to control the mys erious land on the Himalayan pla teau, and so expand westward while Japan is slicing off Chinese terri tory in the North. Little things often have great consequences. Nobody can guess what is going to happen in Asia, but the failure of the Tibetans to find a baby bora just at the right time may change the geography of a nation. Liar .... honored The town of Bordenwarden, in Germany, has bought the house in which Baron Munchausen, the world's most famous liar, used to live. He was born there 216 years ago, and won fame for the "tall stories" which he used to tell about his adventures as a soldier and a hunter. One of his listeners wrote down some of the baron's yarns and sold them to a London book publisher, who printed them In 1785. Since then the noble name of Helronymus Karl Fredrich, Frie herr von Munchausen, has been a synonym for "liar" throughout the English-speaking world. Lately there has been a revival of interest In the type of obviously ex aggerated or impossible tales such as Baron Munchausentold. But the technique is different Baron Mun chausen's stories are not thrilling enough for young people who read the "Tarzan" stories and delight in the adventures of Buck Rogers." Language . . our own It would be a monotonous world if everybody looked alike, thought alike, dressed alike and spoke alike. 1 have long felt that we were get ting too completely standardized, and I am glad to hear the voice of Professor Hoffman of Boston Uni versity raised in defense of variety in speech and accent. Tf everybody talked with the precision of a radio announcer," Professor Hoffman said the other day, "our common speech would be lacking in charm, vitality and the human touch." I hope none of the attempts of pedants and purists to make every body speak alike will ever destroy the warm fluency of the accents of the south, or deprive New England or its snoit-vowelled, clipped stac cato speech. . One of my fads for years has been to ttry to tell where a person was "raised" by listening to him or her speak. I am seldom more than a stats or two out of the way. THE Family Doctor he attempt But, I would never select either for my family physi- an. Their fields are too narrow too limited. I would summon either only on the advice of my family doctor. Your physician should be a well- read, general practitioner. If that, he is far better posted in the man agement of your varied complaints than the surgeon or the socialist He has a far more extensive know ledge of the remedies needed for you than either. He will be a more capable diagnostician in systematic disease, and, he will know when you need a surgeon or specialist, better than any one else. Your family physician is indeed an indispensable man in the com munity. He looks after sanitation and other community measures cal culated to prevent disease, even though doing so lessens his chances for making a living. He is alert in medical Investigation and re search knowing all the time that he is working himself out of a job! Finally, the family doctor is, to a large extent, what his community makes him. Prompt payment of bills often grows you a more will ing and efficient health guardian. it above all feed costs. Feeders in western Oregon can depend on it that over a perlor of years they can get good returns on their feed, varying additional amounts for the labor and have the manure to keep up the fertility of their farms," said Professor a. w. Rodenwold, who handled the ex periment "The manure accumu lation is about one ton per head per month. We have had no trou ble with bloat and have not had to use any high priced protein concentrates." Jackman on National Radio Loop. Corvallis The fact that Oregon and the Pacific northwest have be come an important seed producing area will be told to the entire Uni ted States next Saturday, Febru ary 29, by E. R. Jackman, extension Your Home Town Physician Pardon my reminding you of your best friend. Yes, I am writing about your health, as well as your best aids in maintaining it, your good home-town doctor ranking first There is something distinctive that belongs only to the family physician. The surgeon and the specialist may be expert in their lines of practice and they can do things for which the family physi- cian is not even prepared nor should Beef Fattening Again Profitable in Trials Low grade hay with reasonably priced grain rations again proved successful in fattening steers this winter in tests reported on at the annual western cattle feeders' day held at Oregon State college Feb ruary 22. The trials this year dif fered in that older feeder steers were used, and a mixture of barley or wheat was added to mill-run which was fed alone last year. Barley mixed with the mill-run made the brain more palatable, eliminating any trouble from "go- ing off feed." Ground wheat when used instead of barley in the same way served well to fatten the steers, though the gains were not quite as rapid. Wheat might well be used however, if other conditions made it desirable. The steers fed this year ended the three-months feeding period with good finish and were expected to top the Portland market at around $7.25 per cwt. The difference be tween the price of feeder cattle in the fall and fat cattle in the spring is less this year than the normal $2.50 spread.
