Proso, a near-relation to millet, gives exceptional yields under condi tions found on the project, as demon strated on the Franklin Mason farm at Hermiston. The plants grow to a height of six feet to eight feet or even more with heavy clusters of seed coming out at the joints and at the top. The habit of sending up shoots from the roots, as well as its heavy foliage habit makes invaluable for a forage crop, and the large production of seed formed enhances Its value from a seed standpoint. Mr. Mason is quite enthusiastic re garding its possibilities for furnsh- ng feed for young chickens as well as a pasture crop for turkeys, as they ,can be turned loose In the patch and will harvest the seed p’lth out effort on the part of the grower.

DISEASES TO BE KEPT UNDER CONTROL. Hermiston Branch Station Has Es tablished Unit For Observation. Recognizing the fact that the tur key production industry in Oregon |s rapidly attaining such size and im portance that the simple management methods formerly used are no longer adequate, and that production and disease control problems are arising >vlth increasing frequency, the Uma tilla branch experiment station at Hermiston has established a turkey unit and will carry on the first tur key research work in the state. The turkeys at the station have formerly been allowed to range free ly over the entire farm, but the opin ion has been growing that this meth od is dangerous, for, as H. K. Dean, superintendent of the station, ex plained, "tho disease problem is the most importent with any poultry, and sanitation la ihe chief factor in dis ease control. By ranging the birds unrestricted soon the entire farm will be contaminated and then any out breaks of disease will be almost be yond control with present methods. A unit of 250 birds has been plac ed under scientific observation in a 60x150 foot area of alfalfa for the purpose of studying disease proven tion methods and economical feed ing. Each month they are moved to fresh ground. They are thus pro vided with abundant green feed, and the soil, once covered, Is not to be used again for turkeys for three years. The plan so far gives prongs? of success, and maany turkey^grow- ers of the Hermiston district, where some 15,000 to 18,000 marketable birds are raised annually, have adop ted it, while others are watching it with interest.

Visits From Pendleton. Ethel Clark of Pendleton Is visit ing Anna Rae Martin this week. There will be ample irrigation water to finish out the present sea son, C. E. Taylor of the Irrigation District, stated Friday. Economical use of the water has been practiced the present svuson by water users generally and while little water has been taken Into the reservoir since early June, there was at the last re port a storage of about 16.000 acre feet. The capacity of the reservoir Is approximately 55,000 acre feet. The latter part of August will see a decided decrease In the use of water. According to Mr. Taylor there will be water for pasture, corn, new seed ing and garden products well into September. This showing speaks well for the Hermiston Irrigation District where a shortage of watel- has been un known since its inception more than 20 years ago. Shortages of irriga tion water are reported In many Ir rigation district: throughout the country. Some water is now being released from McKay reservoir, most of which is being used on the Stan field and Westland projects.

New Clover Seed la r if f Favors Oregon9 s Future Clover Industry Both eastern and western Oregon may find It profitable to make a substantial Increase In alstkc clover acreage with the new tariff rates of 8 cents per pound In force, believes Professor G. R. Hyslop, chief In farm crops at O. 8. C. Hyslop points out that this rrop Is well adapted to odinnry conditions in Klamath, 1-ake, Crook. Deschutes, Baker, Union and possibly Wallowa counties In eastern Oregon and in iainc, Llan, Benton. Polk and Marion counties in the Willamette valley. "As a matter of fact," he says, “in many of the enuntles mentioned the alslke crop is a little more certain and maintains a little higher aver age production of seed than is true of the red elev r, which hOs con stituted the bulk of Oregon s elover seed crop. In v w of these facts. It. Is considered highly desirable for growers and dealers to leexte sources of good seed and hold It for planting to be shipped east this fall.” There is a fairly extensive mar ket for Oregoa alsll.e in southeast ern United States at good prices, soys :,yslop, who believes that Ore gon has a raprv'loue opportunity for orpandl«'; her acreage of this crop and making some real money on It.’ While tl’c new rates will affect the whole clover seed Industry, Ore gon red clover la not vary favorably received on eastern markets, and at tempts aro being made to develop a »train to meet eastern needs, Ilyslop explained, nnd although Ladlno clov er Is an exeellent pasture clover in western and parts of eastern Oregon, It Is not pobable that any increased acix age Is necessary to meet currant -oed demands. There Is. howevor, room for an Increase of several thotss- aod acres of red clover, as the now tariff places on Oregon the responsi bility of st least partially supplying tho markets which formerly Import- rd thfR «eed.
