Sawdust Mulches Need Nitrogen, Expert Says When using Douglas fir sawdust As a mulch, however, sawdust a mulch, enough nitrogen should be added to the soil to hasten! decomposition of the sawdust and to keep growing plants healthy. Dr. W. B. Bollen, Oregon State college soil bacteriologist, has sug gested. Experiments conducted by Dr. Bollen and other research special ists of the Oregon forest products laboratory and the OSC agricul tural experiment station have established the value of sawdust as a mulch. Sawdust, like other mulches such as straw and peat moss, ts not a fertiltier. Dr. Bollen emphaslxed.

Vuwter has requcnted that fnnner-i con&ult local veterinarian or htate or ledcral veterinarians before brliigmK nick or dead ani mult, to the laboratory when con laifiouh discaaes are suspected. Transportation of animalH with in fectious diseases may constitute a real dantter to the livestock indus try, he declared. Oregon state college, ine J re- iron livestock association and the Oregon Veterinary Medicine as sociation have agreed to a fee of 4 for each laboratory exam ination. The money will be used to pay operating expenses of the laboratory. Located In the soutnwesi pan oi the OBC campus near the present poultry-veterinary building, t h e laboratory houses a large autopsy room, cold stoarage rooms for holding animals overnight, labora tories for examination of tissue and organs, and other miscellaneous facilities. A feature Is the large gas-fired blast furnace In which all Infectious material Is burned to prevent spreading of disease. .P - . "l"Tri keep down weeds and to retard erosion. Upon complete decomposi tion, all mulches add to the humus supply. Rale of decomposition of any mulch depends upon the nitrogen supply In the material itself and the sou on wmcn it is piacea. ni trogen Is added' to get rapid de composition and to prevent nitro gen starvation of plants. Between S to 10 pounds of am monium sulfate, a nitrogen-con- taming fertilizer, should' be ap plied to the soil for eacn ton ot sawdust at the time of mulching. Dr. Bollen recommended. At the beginning of the second year of decay, about one-half this amount of nitrogen fertilizer needs to be added. A sawdust mulch is easier to handle than other kinds, ts usual ly easier to obtain and should last for about 10 years, Dr. Bollen said. A sawdust mulch from two to four Inches deep Is often recommended for orchards and berry fields. Dr. Bollen found that Douglas fir sawdust, which contains a hlgher-than-average percentage of bark, decomposes slower than most tvpes of sawdust. Tannin and waxes in the bark are believed responsible for the low decomposi tion rate. Another series of greenhouse tests In connection with the soil bacteriological studies on other types of sawdust has been launched bv Dr. Bollen. This new project should be completed In about four ! months, j FAWN RECOVERING I CENTRALIA, 111. I A baby ! deer surprised by a wneat corn- bime was badly cut up in a South ern Illinois field.

The L. Rayson Ranch, owned by nay Hobson and L. L, Lombard and operated by Hobson at Mer rill, was classified last week ac cording to the rules ol the Ameri can Guernsey Association. Lester Wilson, the official clas sifier lor the American Guernsey Association did the work. Wilson travels the whole United States as the official classifier tor the As sociation, coming from Minnesota. Normally herds are classified ev ery two years but since the Inclu sion ol many new Guernsey ani mals in Uie Hobson-Lombard ranch classification will be done on an annual basis for the next two years. rur oiuciai ciassiucation in ine American Guernsey Association, certain classes are established. The h.ghest possible class Is the "ex cellent," the next highest is the "very good," the next highest "de sirable," ranging down below this are the "acceptable" and other classes further down the line. To be classified and retained In the purebred registered status, animals must be judged as "desirable" class or higher. Hobson explains the "excellent" classification reportedly to be the perfect type cow. The class of "very good" are the type of cows that are found In the purebred sales as representing approximate ly the highest type in any given breed. Ine next Is the "desirable" classification which are usually I extremely good cows probably not . perfect In type but are real work j norses ana producers in a dairy ; strain.
