Problems of Farm
To Be Discussed
EAST LANSING. Mich.. July 22.
(CP) Eighteen ' organisations
representing a vivid organization ot
American farm life will convene at
Michigan State College here August
1 to 6. Inclusive, for a week of dis
cussion to be given over to the
fundamental problems' confronting
tho farmer and the small comruunl
ty.
Tho week boa been designated as
National Country Llfo Week, and
more than 3.000 delegates are ci
pected to come from all parts ot
tbe country to attenj tho confer
enre. According to Ita sponsors. It
will bo by far tho largest gathering
ot Us kind ever held in the Uullod
States. '
Among tho more prominent or
ganisations lo be represented are
the American Country Life Associa
tion, tlia American Farm Economics
association, the International Coun
try Life commission, aud the Na
tional Catholic Rural Life society.
Although Indications are that the
conferouce will adopt no Specific
plntform. It la planned to establish
tbo ground-work for closer relation
ship between the farm groups ot
the nation and thus to attain a
unity, not evidenced In the past.
William Jardine, Secretary- lot
Agriculture, will give the keynote
addresa of the conference. What
his subjoct will be Is not yet known,
but It la thought he will apeak
extemporaneously, giving an "In
side" viewpoint on bis impressions
ot tho "farmer and his problems."
Oregon Farm Notes
Summer cultivation of tho Oregon
prune orchard la shallow, 2 or 3
Inches, as recommended, by the pro
duction committee at le O. A. C.
mooting ot the Northwest Dried
I'ruuo convention, and frequent
enough to keep tho, weeds down.
Less frequent tillage Is needed as
Iho season advances, aud nono tit all
after the middle of July In non
boarlng orchards, and after fcild
AuRUal In bearing orchards. Only
shallow summer tlllago Implements
such as Acme, Kimball or aplka
touth harrow are used.
Cooking determines the quality
of cottage cheese, explains tho dairy
dlrlHlon ot the experiment station
at Cor vail Is. The curd Is slowly
heated In a pan' ot water to 100
degroes or a llltle ' bettor. To tell
when It Is hot enough a bit ot curd
Is laid' on tbe palm of tho hand
and pressed with the finger. It not
cooked enough it will crush roudlly
and show whey. If ' too much. It
will bo tough aud corky. If Juki
right, It will flatten out and then
resume Its former shape slowly,
not' rapidly aa It will do It ". .iu
bery. Growth and development of the
dairy and livestock Industry ot west
ern Oregon are thought b E. L.
Potter, professional of animal hus
bandry at the experiment station, to
depend more on growth at legumes
than on any other single factor.
In preparing a ration tor any kind
of livestock In this district the
most difficult thing Is getting
enough calcium, particularly for
young stock. Growers need to pay
a good deal ot attention lo getting
enough calcium tor cone growth.

Agents Prepare to
Certify All Grain
rORVALLIS, July 22 (Suec
lal) Yearly grain certification by
county anepla will soon be under
way In Oregon fields. Sine thla
college extension work waa started
through farm crop specialists and
county agents In 1918 thousands of
acres of grain have been certified.
' Certification as conducted by the
extension service la the stamp of
approval given groin that passes In
spection lit the field and laboratory.
Certainty ot germination and free
dom from variety mixtures, foreign
gralna, noxious weed ae.l and ' dis
ease are passed upon br a qualified
extension representative. .. ,'
' Before grain certification was
started as much a 60 of - wheat
marketed was graded as "mixed"
uador federal standards. The aver
age for 1918 waa 33, By locat
ing sources of pur varieties best
adapted to Oregon conditions and
standardizing them the amount
graded "mixed" haa been brought
down to tH. the percentage sold
on the Portland market last Tear.
Besides the gain from mill prices
for pure varieties additional r.iturns
come from better yields that result
when several varieties are not rip
ening at different times In tho same
field. . In such uneven ripening all
but one variety are ' sure to be
poor grade, the experiment station
finds. ;..
A further need for grain certifi
cation Ii seen by the extension ser
vice In a new development In for
eign trade, wherein foreign wheat
buyers purchase Oregon wheat ' by
vurletr name Instead of by a general
classification. This practice con
tinuing, local wheat will be known
largely by variety same, making
close seed check necessary.
A total of 4829 acres waa passed
last year In Oregon 4223 wheat.
268 oats, 188 barley, 115 alfalfa,
10 corn and 35 bent grass. The
varieties Were mostly turkey red,
hybrid ' 128, federation and hard
federation. Shadeland climax
equalled tbe total of four other oat
varieties passed, and Hannchen
barley was far ahead of all other
barleys. "
