FARM IMPROVEMENTS
ENCOURAGING TO
AGRICULTURE HERE
SKEPTICAL ATTITUDE TOWARD
ADVANCE IN PRICES HELD.
Joe Bumgartner Builds Large Dairy
Barn: Continued Building Done
On Typical Farm Village.
As the months advance into sum-
ner, the farmer is becoming more
skeptical and is making all possible
mprovements about his farm. He is
tinging to the hope that aid from
he federal government will come
along with an advance in farm pro
duce prices, which puts him in a
spirit to improve his farm.
A number of farms in the Hermis
on and Stanfield districts have new
buildings and various other improve
ments. Among them is the 20-acre
'arm owned by Joe Bumgartner on
he Stanfield project, where a large
34x60 barn Is being built. It will
not be completed, until fall, but
when completed will have 28 stan
'ions and four stalls, with a hay loft
of a 60-ton capacity. A litter carrier
track extends from one end of the
barn to the other.
The dairy barn is being built at
an approximate cost of $1500. The
'arpenter work has been done by
Bryce Robinson of Hermiston.
Mr. Bumgartner says that most of
his alfalfa of the Grimm variety
ame through the cold winter fine,
but that a small 20 acre field of the
common variety is poor. The first
cutting was being made Tuesday of
this week.
Oother Construction.
A new three room hotte Is being
mill on the Travis Coleman farm,
up what Is known as Stage Gulsh,
ind Pat Quinn near Stanfield Is
building a new laying house with a
capacity for 250 hens.
3-Branch Farm Village.
Within the last three years a mod
am 3-branch farm village has been
developed in the Coe ranch south
east of Stanfield. The farm carries
14 head of Jersey cows, a flock of
1000 turkeys, and keeps 500 breed-
ng hens to maintain three 540-egg
incubators, to supply the demand
for from 200 to 300 fryers a week.
In order to supply its feed de
mand, the farm maintains a feed
mixer that turns out 12 tons of
cracked corn an hour, and 2 tons of
fine ground fattening mash. The
grain is purchased in car lots and
the mash stored in a 70-ton mash
bin. out of which approximately 2
tons a day are used to supply feed
for the chickens, turkeys, and cows.
The poultry fattening pens have
a capacity of approximately 1280
birds, but at present the farm has
not been able to furnish sufficient
fryers to fill the demand. Three in
cubators are now hatching and are
due to come off June 23.
The young turkeys ranging in
ages from three to six weeks, total
1000. These birds are ranging out
of brooder houses with half wood
flooring and half wire netting floor

problem of sanitation, and the coloil
