HOME SUPPLIES FROM FARM
I The Dairy and Hog Show is an
evidence of the interest of the peo
ple in the highest and best type of
farming known as permanent agri-
culture. It is true that frequently
during the earlier stages of reclama
tion development the farmer resorts
to the expediency of selling his crops
to secure ready money; but the later
stages of development afford a splen
did opportunity to secure and breed
the finer types of animals, which
i produce food products, or In the end
becomes finished food products, and
“thus are a profitable investment.
All lands are subject to the law
of diminishing returns.
The per-
manency and intelligence of an agri-
i cultural community are ultimately
judged by the efforts of the farmers
expended in maintaining soli fertil-
I jty. The economic use of water,
crop rotations, proper fertilizers, an
simai husbandry and building im
provements and indictive of intelli-
■ gent farming. And seldom, if ever,
are better opportunities given a peo
ple for such a type of development
as on the reclaimed arid lands in the
vest.
Anthracnose Threatens
Wide-awake growers are getting
everything ready to spray their ap
ple orchards for anthracnose control
just as soon as the fruit Is off the
trees, H. P. Baras, plant pathologist
of the Oregon station, finds. It would
be well for sprayers to follow the
pickers immediately In all orchards
not having the early fall or August
application.
Bordeaux 6-6-50 Is
used, and every particle of bark sur
face on the free Is covered.
It is therefore with a sense of
great pride and satisfaction that the
settlers of the Umatilla project par-
ticlpate in the Dairy and Hog exhi-
bition at Hermiston,
The people
note with pleasure the progress
from year to year.
The hogs and cattle shown are
worthy of careful inspection and
study. A great community reputa
tion can be found on the raising of
such stock, and the agricultural ben-
efits to be gained need more con-
sideration. Individually, too, it is
a source of gratification, to be the
possessor of animals of quality.
So again It should be stated that
the people of the Umatilla project
should be encouraged to raise good
stock, especially hogs and cattle.
Hay and grain should be fed locally
and the stock product shipped. The
Dairy and Hog Show is calculated to
foster this Idea and progress is being
made. Many farmers possess dairy
herds of merit, and there are many
premiums, the result of hog exhibits.
Nevertheless, there is a great oppor
tunity ahead for the settlers on this
project to develop along the lines of
permanent agriculture.
under the direction of H A. Scul-
len, formerly federal bee specialist
for the northwest.
The work Is
given for the benefit of students who
want to learn how to handle bees
so bad that they are willing to take
a chance at too closeanacquaintance.
The bees are especially effective in
dismissing classes.

factories, practically all the butter and
cheese used Is bought instead of made
on the farm, says the Uniteti States
department of agriculture. Very few
fanners buy whole milk. About four-
fifths of the dairy products consumed
by farmers are produced on the home
farm.
In the South dairy products are used
very freely. The common practice is
to churn the whole milk for butter,
producing a large quantity of butter
milk. The average annual consumption
of butter per family is about 230
pounds in the South while for families
in the North and West it Is less than
150 pounds. It is not unusual for the
average-sized family in the South to
consume 2,000 quarts of buttermilk a.
year.
Buttermilk is a cooling and
healthful drink for that climate.
Do you know how honey is extracted?
We will demonstrate to all how the comb
honey is taken from the comb without melt-
ind.

They ask it when they pass the farm where the residence is so at
