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

CANNING SCHEDULE.
From June 29 to July 4.
MON—1 to 4 P. M„ Peas.
TUES.—1 to 4 P. M., Beans.
WED.—1 to 4 P. M., Peas.
THURS.—1 to 4 P. M., Beans.

SATURDAY—NO CANNING.
The Laundry and Cannery will be
closed Saturday, July 4th.
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.

Why Men Work.
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

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
