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.

The state will retire from the flax
industry as soon as farmers' coop
eratives, now organizing, are pre
pared to take over the retting and
scutching of the crop. 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.

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.

early vegetable plants is available

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

select either for my family physi-

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.

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."

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. Even so the opera
tions showed a fair margin of prof-
