C.) > 4 32 New Settlees Came To Oregon in February February set a good pace for the year in land settlement by bringing 32 new settlers to Ore­ gon farms with an investment of $107,484. That is the record of the Land Settlement department of the State and Portland Chambers of Commerce as shown in their monthly report just issued. During the month the depart- ment received 2539 letters and in­ quiries. Out of 201 questionnaires returned by farmers, 161 stated that the writers intended to come to Oregon to locate during the coming year. They specifice capital available for immediate investment amounting to $469,100. Letters numbering 6316 together with 2495 packages of literature were sent to the prospective set­ tlers during February. Poultry raising appeals to many of those who contemplate coming to Oregon. Augusta, A. Webb of Indianapolis, Indiana, has furnished the names of three prospective poultrymen now living in Indiana. W. H. Armstrong, a Michigan farmer, is interested with a group of his neighbors in coming in the near future to build up chicken farms. Oregon’s mild winters pre- sent a strong lure to these pei pie wearying of the cold. Two Pennsylvania farmers, Rob- ert E. Bates and Miss Elsie F. Hollman, each have several thous- and dollars ready to invest in Ore- gon lands. Poultry raising on a ten acre tract is the goal of Mr. Bates, while Miss Hollman seeks a dairying and stock raising coun­ try place where good fishing and hunting are available. Every day brings a number of farm seekers to the office of the land settlement department accord­ ing to W. G. Ide, manager, 283 inquiries having called during Feb­ ruary. Illustrated booklets and thorough information on the various sections of the state are furnished to all these prospective landowners. Many of them are in Oregon for the first time, while many others have visited the state previously and are now here to locate per­ manently.

Thia may be done to best advantage by burning, placing in silo, feeding to live stock, bury­ ing in heated manure, or plowing cleanly, says the United States de­ partment of agriculture, Bum com- stalks and stubble in spring or late winter when the stalks are in a dry condition. Special atten­ tion should be given to the com­ plete burning of all cornstalks, cobs, and stubble which might har­ bor larvae. The process of shell­ ing does not kill the borers in com cobs, and in heavily infested regions all cobs should be burned immediately after shelling. Corn carried through the winter on the cob and not shelled before May .1 in such regions should be placed in a container so that the moths can not escape after energing. A 12 mesh wire screen is satis­ factory. In disposing of cornstalks, they may be destroyed either by placing in the silo, shredding and feeding direct to livestock, plow­ ing under, or burning.

Annuals from Oregon gardens are being started now by forward gar­ deners, says the landscape garden­ ing department of the state col­ lege. They are planted in flats or boxes where they are left until the first true leaves appear. They are then transplanted to another flat, allowing 2 inches between. When the plants are well started they are put into 3 or 4 inch pots to continue growth until proper growing conditions prevail outside, when they are removed into the garden. Transplanting the plants into the pots may be unnecessary if outdoor conditions are favorable to their growth before the plants begin to get "yeggy” in the flats.
