GRANGE COUNCIL CONSIDERS PROJECT (Continued from Page 1) Umatilla area, with the help of H. K. Dean, Superintendent of the Ex périment Station, and Jay T. Pier- son, the assistant county agent, plan to make a survey of all the weeds growing within the West Umatilla area. Substantial prizes are offered by a number of the chemical companies and local orga nizations to boys and girls partici- pating in special weed clubs. Grang ers were asked to encourage their girls to participate in this project, thus making it possible to locate and control weeds which have become such a menace in this sec tion. It was suggested that each grange sponsor at least two 4-H clubs and make an earnest effort to provide one or more summer school scholarships for outstanding boys and girls in the community. Another project suggested for each grange was that of the Agri cultural Conservation Program. Each grange should be familiar with the act dealing with the agricultu ral conservation. Soil erosion con trol was also discussed as a possible project in several of the areas. Close cooperation was urged between the different granges in soil manage ment problems, field meetings on erosion projects now established, and on farms outside of projects. In areas where trashy fallow is prac ticed, particular emphasis was given to this as a permanent practice. The agricultural chairman, representing the various granges within the county, will be responsible for this as his program of work for the 1937 year. Irrigon Grange Social Night. The Irrigon Grange will hold its usual social night Saturday, April 17th, at the grunge hall in Irrigon. There will be games for the young people and cards and dancing, fol- lowed by a pot luck supper. COLUMBIA PARK CLEANUP PLANNED The ladies of the Farm Bureau Auxiliary are planning an all day meeting for Friday, April 16th, at which time they will clean the park grounds. Anyone interested is asked to attend and bring shovels, ham mers and any other equipment usa ble in the cleanup. Shrubs and flowers will be planted and ladies are asked to bring any cuttings they have which can be used for this pur- pose. A pot lunck dinner will be served at noon. Carrot Seed Ready. Free carrot seed is available the assistant county agent’s office for farmers who desire to raise car- rots for the Smith Canning company at Pendleton. The price for the carrots will be $10 per ton. Mr. Pierson has on hand enough seed for fifteen acres and any farmer who wants to plant a half acre or more may have the seed by calling at his office. TO THE MEMBERS OF THE UMATILLA PROJECT FARM BUREAU. The annual payment of 51.00 per member was due March 1st. and if It remains unpaid will become de linquent after 60 days. To be en titled to deal with the Farm Bureau Co-operative. Grange Co-operative and Cooperative Service Station, you must be in good standing in the Umatilla Project Farm Bureau, or some other farm organisation. The funds thus collected are used for various things of community benefit. C. M. JACKSON, Sec. TO EVERY MEMBER MUCH IRRIGATION WATER WASTED The following article written by Loren H. Milliman, farm editor for The Oregonian, which appeared in the Sunday edition, may be applied to our own district explicitly, due partly to the tact that it is an irri- gated section and partly to the lack of knowledge in the system of irri- gation and carelessness. Many farmers In irrigation dis- tricts waste much of the water they apply to their fields, J. H. Brown, irrigation extensin specialist from the University ot California, indica ted in a series of speeches at the sixth annual session of the Institute of Irrigation Agriculture held re cently at Oregon State college. In addition, farmers cultivating general crops do much needless work, studies which he has conduct- ed reveal, "Cultivation in weed- free soil does not conserve mois- ture,” he declared, “If the weeds are gone, leave the land alone un less you have some special reason, other than moisture conservation. for cultivating. "We have fought subsoiling in or- chards because that cuts so many good roots,” he added. An Inch of water will wet heavy soils four to five inches deep; it will wet medium soils from six to ten inches, and sandy soils 12 inches or more. Heavy soils require heavy applications of water at longer in tervals. Light soils require light applications of water more frequent- ly. No Water Stored. Wetting soil below the depth of the roots does not result in storing water, Mr. Brown continued. Furth er, the water requirements of a giv en crop are independent of the type of soil on which it is grown, so the irrigation practice must be adjust ed to fit the type of soil. Faulty irrigation practices, par ticularly running irrigation furrows down steep slopes, causes an enor mous loss of soil and does great damage to the land, Harvey E. Red dick, regional conservator in the soil conservation service, pointed out. As the grade approaches 3 per cent, the loss becomes increasingly heavy. Top soil is washed from the upper part of the field or orchard, tending to bury cops at the lower end of the run. Later, practically valueless subsoil is piled on the top soil at the bottom of the field. Long irrigation runs and unnec essary heavy applications of water were condemned by the experts who had studied irrigation methods. That much water was wasted, creating shortages when that condition need not exist, was indicated by various speeches. Money Is Wasted. When a farmer attempts to save money by constructing fewer pipe lines or ditches, hoping to irrigate large areas in one irrigation, he is actually wasting money. Water either stands on the upper portion of the field, finally penetrating be low the deepest roots, or else it rushes over the upper field, eroding valuable top soil. Contour irrigation, with orchards cr crops planted on grade lines in stead of straight rows, was advoca ted by Mr. Reddick, who showed a series of pictures which illustrated the advantages of the newer type of irrigation. Bench irrigation on steeper slopes can also be practiced if trees are planted on the grade lines and care in cultivation is used, he added. Ir rigation furrows must be in before the trees are planted, he said, In about ten years, definite benches will have developed in this type of farming. Trees will be growing at the edges of the benches, which is one disadvantage, because longer ladders will be needed to reach the fruit on one side of the trees. Paradoxical as it may seem, the net result of draining a piece of land is to increase the amount of water available to the plants. Mr. Brown pointed out. Roots will not extend into the water table, but they will spread out through moist soil, so when the water table Is lowered by drainage, the amount of soil which the roots can explore increased, he explained. A good orchard fertilizer contains readily available nitrogen. Nitrate of soda, sulphate of ammonia and eyanamid are common forma that meet this requirement. TURKEY MEN GET BREATHING SPELL BY L. A. WILHELM Assistant Poultryman, Washington State College. The rapid mushroom growth of the turkey industry in the Pacific northwest in recent years has no doubt suffered a slight setback the past season. With the high-priced feed, “financed turkeys,” and lower- than-expected returns the past sea son, many of the men who turned to raising turkeys to get “rich” will go out of business. This should give the real turkey producers an opportunity to re trench their program, use better stock, better methods of feeding and management, and reap more profits. The feeding and management of poults has varied even more than that of chicks because there is great lack of information and facts on the subject. The chief requirements of brooding are the same for poults and chicks: (1) correct tempera- ture, (2) good ventilation, (3) san itation, (4) plenty of room and (5) an abundance of good feed and wa- ter. Temperature requirements are similar, but perhaps slightly higher than for chicks the first few days. The temperature under the hover should be about 100 degrees before the poults are put in. Fresh Air Needed. Poults need more fresh air than chicks. The hover fringe should not be closer to the floor than 3 inches, unless there is a forced-ventilatlng system. Poults are less active and more inclined to crowd and smother than are chicks. Best results are ob- tained when not over 150 poults are brooded in one lot. Small lots Insure less crowding and more fresh air for each turk. . Young turkeys are not easy to teach to eat. Frequently the grower has to re- sort to some device to get them to take their first meal. Until after the poults have had their first feed or two it is advisable to keep a newspaper under them so they will not eat litter and get impaction of the crop. The first feed may be given in shallow tins or on egg flats. Some growers crumble hard-boiled eggs over the mash to induce the birds to eat. Others use finely-chopped green feed. Many successful grow ers follow the practice of dipping the beak of each turkey into a pan of milk as it is taken from the box. ■crap (55 per cent protein), 150 pounds skimmilk powder, 60 pounds shell flour. 20 pounds salt, 20 pounds biologically-tested cod liver oil or its equivalent in concentrated vitamin D. 2020 pounds.

Feed fine- ly-chopped green feed*or crisp yel low carrots, what the poults will clean up in 30 minutes three times a day. Sprinkle granite grit or coarse sand on the mash once a day —about 2 ounces for each 100 poults. Fifth week—Keep starting mash in hoppere, continue green feed— all that the poults will eat. Scatter 12 pint of scratch on top of mash once daily for each 100 poults. Keep hard grit and shell in separate hop pers from now on. Provide low roosts. Sixth week—Continue starting mash and green feed and scatter 1 pint of scratch on mash once daily for each 100 poults. Seventh week—Continue starting mash and green feed and scatter 1% pints of scratch on mash onee daily for each 100 poults. Eighth week—Continue starting mash and green feed and scatter 1 quart of scratch once daily for each 100 poults. “or additional information on ra- tions, feeding schedules, and man agement of turkeys, write to your county agent or the extension ser vice of the State College of Wash ington for Poultry Pointers 16, "Turkey Raising in Washington.” Mr. and Mrs. T.
