Farm Survey
Shows Homes
Come First
The old assumption that farmers
neglect their home. In favor of
farm buildings and Improvement
Just Isn't borne out by the facts.
Latest U S. department of agri
culture aurveys, as reviewed lor
Oregon by Mrs. Klvera Horrell,
OSC extension agricultural econo
mist, show that sllghllv more than
half of the total value of farm
construction goes for houses. Out
ol the remaining less than half,
three fourUis Is spent on service
buildings such as barns and poul
try houses and the rest for fences,
windmills, Dumps, etc.
On the farm, about one-third of
the money spent for homes Is used
for new construction and one-half
for malor Improvements. The rest
goes lor miscellaneous repairs. This
la In direct contrast to city figures
where most of the outlay Is for
new structures.
About half of the farm construc
tion work. Mrs. Horell reports. Is
done bv farmers and tnelr families.

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

Transportation of animalH with in

Oregon state college, ine J re-

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

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,

The L. Rayson Ranch, owned by

and operated by Hobson at Mer

cording to the rules ol the Ameri

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

Normally herds are classified ev

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
