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.

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.

The scratch to be ted from the
fifth to the twelfth week is com-
posed of 200 pounds cracked yellow
corn and 300 pounds whole wheat.
Following is a feeding schedule for
100 poults:
First four weeks—Keep turkey
starter mash in hoppers. 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.
