When the afternoon sun casts its
slanting .shadows upon the ore
looked hills of Josephine county
there comes from beneath the
shade-colored pines a herd of goats
to crop thp scrub oaks in a Bully
wanned clearing.
To the trans-continental tourist,

Ihe -presence of the goal means
nothing; the scrulwiakH mean no
thing; the gullies mean nothing:
ihe neat piles of rock mean no-,

! Animal Husbandry Expert, i
Says Eastern Oregon!
I Growers Now Buying
I Feeder Pigs to Fatten On !
Low Priced Crop. j
O R HO O X ST A T K C I A A J( 1 K,
Corvallis. July 2C. With wlie.lt
at Its present low price, now is a
good time for wheat growers and
other farmers with pifts to realize
a profit from their cereut In the
form of pork, according to A. W.
Oliver, assistant professor of ani
mal husbandry at Oregoli Slate
college.
W h ea t this yea r for the f I rst
time in several years has gained
prominence as hog feed. Professor
Oliver sas, and some Oregon farm
ens are even buying feeder pigs at
their present high prices to feed
them the grain. Animal husband
ry specialists here emphasize bow
ever, that it is doubtful if it will
pay stockmen or farmers to buy
more pigs in ordT to feed them
cheap wheat.
Wheal has practically the same
value as food for hogs that barley
has and both are about the same
price now. While ground wheat
will put weight on the porkers, it
is recommended that It be sup
plemented with some protein food
such as skimmed milk or tank
age. It Is estimated that it takes
4fiu pounds of wheat alone to pro
duce 100 pounds of pork, but that
by using 200 pounds of milk the
same amount of pork can be pro
duced with about 300 pounds of
wheat.
While wheat has always been
fed to hoga in small quantities in
some localities. Professor Oliver
points out that the price of It '.n
some years has not made it profit
able and In most cases It has been
a losing proposition, ltecords kept
by the animal husbandry depart
ment since If 10 show an average
loss over the 20-year period nf 2S
cents per hindred pounds of
wheat to hogs over what the mar
ket price would have brought. The
same figures show a profit of one
cent n. hundred pounds for barley
fed to porkers.
"The ratio is now favorable for,
converting wheat Into pork," Pro-;
fessor Oliver declares. "The troub-j
lo is In getting feeder pigs since j
their production Is from five to
nine per cent below normal. Some ;
are being shipped to Oregon from j
the middle west, bit twith even an !
average corn crop In the corn belt .
demands there are likely to take I
care of any surplus." j

S.M.KM. July 2i!. wV) A U-niilo
stretch of tlie Oregon -Wucdi I ik Ion
highway, between Athena and Mil
ton, t'matilla county, is a fair ex
ample of the problem heavy stage
traffic is placing before the state
highway department, It. H. Ual
ilnek. assistant state highway en
gineer, in charge of maintenance,
reported to bis office.
A state force is now at work on
thai stretch of highway, widening
l he shoulders three feet on each
side, making a 2t!-foot roadway In
place of the 20-fooi width. It Is
estimated tlitv cost will be about
(27,0(10. Mf 9
Like all standard state highways
in (ireKnit, the main paved roadway
is only I ti feet wide. With the old)
shoulders, two feel 4.11 each side. It t
was 20 feet wide. The large motor I
trucks and stages are eight feet
wide, making it necessary for them
to veer from pavement to graveled !
shoulders whenever they met an-1
other vehicle. Those having dual-
pneumatic tires on the rear, as
many do, it is said, almost con-)
tinuoimly have one lire on the
.shoulder. This means a constant
sucking, aand consequent wearing
out of the shoulder at a rapid rate.
Slum bier maintenance, Italdock
said, is constant ly becoming more
expensive.
The slate crew on the Athena
Mlltnn section Is laying shoulders
of quarry rock and binding It with
volcanic ash. Next year an oil top
probably will be added.
Italdock said the department is
constantly modernizing Its work to
ea rry o n reconst met lo n with t he
least possible inconvenience for
traffic: and Is developing new meth
ods eacli year. Oiling operations
have been perfected so vehicles are
ww&ly n -contact with the" newly
laid oil and practically no com
plaints aro received from motorists.
One recent improvement Is the
employment nf slate-paid flagmen
on Improvement Jobs of flagmen
employed by contractors. There was
a tendency among the latter to show
discourtesy to Ihe public, Huldock
said. This l not tolerated by the;
department with flagmen on Jts
own payroll. I

again are worried hy the practice
of throwing two sou pieces from
the top platform nf the Klffel
tower.
At the foot of the structure Is a
small pool and a coin may be toss
ed Into It from one side of the
platform. The danger is that cross
