Fr*nklin Mason Demonstrates Excep
tional Value of New Seed
To Project.
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.

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

The latter part of August will see

According to Mr. Taylor there will

New Clover Seed la r if f Favors

Both eastern and western Oregon
may find It profitable to make a

Professor G. R. Hyslop, chief In farm

Hyslop points out that this rrop

in Klamath, 1-ake, Crook. Deschutes,

"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

Is considered highly desirable for

There is a fairly extensive mar

It Is not pobable that any increased
