THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1936. THE HERMISTON HERALD. HERMISTON. OR EGON PAGE THREE FARM CO-OPERATIVE DIVISION | -------------------—---------- —-—- JA MESSAGE TO EVERY MEMBER. METHODS OF SALVAGING DAMAGED ALFALFA GIVEN The recent continued rainy wea ther in many portions of the coun ty has focused attention upon the need for information regarding methods which may be used in sav ing damaged crops. While it is too late for the following information to be of any service in connection with the first cutting this year, it is en tirely possible that the hundreds of hay growers in Umatilla county will be interested in the following ma terial which has been supplied to the office of the county agent by Professor G. R. Hyslop of Oregon State college. On farms equipped with silos, green first crop alfalfa may be cut and stored successfully in the silo if a sufficient amount of carbohy drate is added so that the normal lactic acid fermentation will take place. This may be done by either of two methods according to investiga tions that have been reported by various research agencies. Work done in Kansas, Germany and South Africa indicates that al falfa mixed with molasses as it is going into the silo or after it has been put into the silo makes an ex cellent fermentation and provides good silage. The Kansas experi ments. reported fn 1917, tried mo lasses at 10 parts of alfalfa to one of molasses, and 20 parts of alfalfa to one of molasses, with the live stock favoring the latter from the standpoint of palatability. More recent work shows that mo lasses contains 60 or more per cent of sugar and that .5 of a per cent to .75 of a per cent of the weight of the alfalfa is sufficient to cause the right type of fermentation. These people recommend 40 to 50 pounds of molasses per ton of sil age. and Morrison in the revised book on feeds and feeding, which is off the press, says that 40 to 50 pounds should be ample for each ton of alfalfa. The molasses may be run slowly from a barrel onto the alfalfa as it goes into the cutter, or it may be diluted with water and sprinkled around in the silo. The Kansas experiment station also tried a mixture of alfalfa and green rye and it proved to he al most as successful as the' alfalfa and molasses, and the renorts indicate that while it was slightly less palat- able than the alfalfa and molasses mixture there was verv tittle dif- ference evcent that the material did not nack nuits so well in the silo. They found the use of two tons of alfalfa to one ton of ths oroon To to he "eor entinfastomy ana th. two were fed into the ensilare out- t “imrltoneonslv T am sure that if some of nor" for-—„ 1 -— _ hnot or dote n- howlov +1,,+ 19n. 1r loomed it con ho need in the coma this w. and with sonai gatisfact inn. - VTTT MTTT P" MCKAY CPrrK The Umatilla County Grange Council will meet Saturday.

We went to the pea fields Sunday evening to see when the peas would be ready that we have ordered for those who are planning on shelled peas for canning. There are several thousand acres of peas in full bloom now and it is quite possible that we won’t get any of these until after the Fourth. Every one that has an order in for peas will be notified as to when they will be here. Others wanting some of these peas should notify us soon. HERMISTON CO-OP. CANNERY. O. L.

Steinmetz obtained from the Gen eral Electric all that he needed to keep him going and an opportunity to continue in his experiments. If he invented anything, the patent to that invention, however, went to the company, not to him. He represen ted the new type of inventor in the United States. In the old days, most inventors did free lance work. They became possessed of an idea and experimen ted by themselves in their garret apartments. If they invented any thing, they might make a fortune out of it. or they might die in pov erty. Most inventors died poor. Among American inventors who did great things for society and ended their days practically penniless, we might mention John Fitch, inventor of the steamboat; Charles Goodyear, dis coverer of the vulcanizing process; Christopher Sholes, originator of the typewriter and Tom Davenport, builder of electrical motors. Many of these had little thought of profit. When they began their experiments, they could not be in- duced to stop until they had achiev- d their ends. And after the invent- r had given birth to his brain child, we frequently found him 1m- atiently turning to other ideas, aving it to others to make a pro tit. Sholes, inventor of the typewriter, for instance, seldom thought about money, because as he said, it was tro much bother.” Most of the money went to the Remingtons, who en ht the patent. Sholes merely received a small sum of money and the joy of creating. But that proved to he sufficient. Edison strove for fame more than money. — • • A New Role for the Inventor. Farm Bureau Auxiliary. Today, the free lance inventor is being displaced by the salaried em ployee in the large research labora tories. Representatives of the Bell Telephone Laboratories scour the country for the bright minds in the universities, put these boys into the laboratories, give them a salary and start them at work. If these em ployees invent anything, they will get a larger salary, perhaps, but the profit goes to the corporation. Un der a Cooperative order, these salar ied inventors could be depended upon to work for a salary in a so cialized laboratory as they are now working for a salary for a private corporation. So much for the inventor. What about the administrator, the busi ness man? Does he require the pro fit Incentive, the chance to make a fortune to keep him efficiently at work? At the present time, I must ad mit that many business men are working hard with an eye to big profits. They want riches partly be cause of the comforts and the pow er that wealth will give to them. They want wealth for another rea son: The gaining of a future is re garded by most people as an indica tion of success in business. "That man is a great success," you will hear people saying. "Why, he entered business a poor boy. And now. look at him, he is a million aire! That’s success for you." And a man wants to be regarded as suc cessful in whatever line of effort he enters. The meeting of the Farm Bureau Auxiliary scheduled for July 3d has been postponed until July 17th, be cause of conflicting activities com ing before the Fourth of July. The next meeting will be held in the Hermiston Union church with Mrs. Orval Dawson. Mrs. Waldo Dyer and Mrs. E. E. Rainwater acting as hos tesses. INCENTIVES IN A COOPERATIVE ORDER. By Harry W. Laidler, Ph. D. Some years ago. I was sitting is the research laboratory of Dr. Chas. P. Steinmetz, the great electrical wi zard and consulting engineer of the General Electric. There he was hunched over the table on which he nad made so many brilliant calcula tions in the field of electricity. We began to talk about the need for a socialized order under which the masses of men and women would be able to enjoy security and plenty and leisure. "Yes,” I said, “many people today agree that a cooperative social or der would bring about a juster dis tribution of wealth and income .It would abolish unemployment, pov erty and waste. But. they say. peo ple—especially inventors and mana- gers— would have no Incentive to work under a cooperative order. "You are an inventor. Dr. Stein- metz. Do you think that you would have as great an urge as you now have to Invent and conduct your re searches. If employed by a socialized industry?" Steinmetz took a puff of his long, black rigar and quietly replied: "I fee! that I would have greater in centive to invent under a new norial order. For under social ownership I would know that the Invention would he immediately used by the entire Industry and that all of its Teaching Without Profit. If there were other measures of success, however, you would find that same man working just as bard for those other goals. Taks, for In stance. the teaching profession. There are probably not more than a handful of the million odd teachers in this country who hope, as a re sult of teaching, to become million aires. But does that keep them from doing good work? No. Thou sands of our teachers are among our hardest working people. What gets them to work? Well, they receive a fair salary. They are more secure in their jobs than are most workers for private corporations. They have the satisfaction of seeing their pu pils develop under them, of being well regarded by the community; of increasing their knowledge in cul tural and scientific studies. And these and other non-profit incen tives are sufficiently powerful to keep them hard at work. Or we can go to the great con sumers’ cooperative movement of the world. I was speaking a while ago with the very efficient manager of the Swedish cooperative. He was showing me around the imposing headquarters of the wholesale in Stockholm. He was the head of a concern that was doing a business $8480 of millions of dollars a year, and yet neither he nor any other adminis Grip slippery pavements on all fours.
