F FARMERS URGED
TO SAVE FEED
DEAN HENRY SENDS OUT MOST
TIMELY WARNING,
GREAT DEMAND CERTAIN
Crops in Northern Wisconsin Will
Bring Large Returns from Drouth-
Stricken Localities-Corn Fodder
and Marsh Hay Need All to be
Harvested Carefully.

Dean w A. Henry of the Wisconsin
experiment station has issued a warn
ing to the farmers, especially those in
good crop area of northern Wisconsin,
III ging them to save their stock feed
in all possible ways on account of the
probable scarcity of hay and fodder
in the drouth-stricken localities of
southern Wisconsin and other western
states:
"The most disastrous drouth which
ever afflicted tbs county now prevails
from Ontario to Kansas, covering a
region over a thousand miles long by
several hundred miles in width, he
says. 1T includes southern WiscOL
consin There is every prospect of a
great shortage of crops in this region.
Stockmen in southern Wisconsin, Illi-
nois, Iowa, Missouri and other states
will have to buy great quantities of
grain, hay and straw to keep their
stock alive next winter.
"a part of Wisconsin has abundant
crops. If the farmers so blessed will
only save these, there will be large
money returns to them the present
season. There will be calls by ship
pers for every pound of anne hay, wild
hay and straw that can be spared.
Many farmers by saving their corn
fodder and by cutting wild and marsh
hay can have large quantities of
tame hay and straw to sell. Not a
pound of any kind of feed should be
wasted. Even the lower grades of wild
and marsh hay should be carefully har.
vested and saved for feeding at home
this winter, SO as to sell as much as
possible of the better grades.
'1Let the word be passed from mouth
to mouth so that those having good
crops and an over-abundance of feeG
can take scrupulous care of them ir
prospect Of a ready and profitable mar.

MARKED cHINooks CAPTURED.
Salmon Attain a Weight of Fifty
Pounds in Four Years.


Pounds in Four Years.
The young salmon which Fish Com
missioner Mcclure marked before
turning out four years ago by cutting
off the adipose fin continue to be
heard from and bid fair to throw
more light on the time required by
chinook salmon to attain their growth
than anything else has done so far.
Last year quite number of these
marked fish were caught in the Col
umbia, having an average weight of
"a pounds. A few days ago Seufert
Brothers, of The Dalles, reported
catching one of these marked fish
weighing so pounds, and day or two
ago one was turned in at Pillar Rock
cannery which weighed 40 pounds.
From this it seems that in three years
the chinook salmon grows to weight
of about "a pounds and in four years
attains a weight of from 40 to 30
pounds Perhaps some of the marked
fish may be caught next year, by
which time they will probably have
attained their growth, but the big
ones of 70 pounds and upward are
doubtless more than years old. A
report was sent out from Astoria to
the effect that a number OF the
marked chinook salmon had been
found among the fish brought there
from the Sacramento river, but Col
umbia river fishermen generally did
not believe this. They looked upon
it as fake story, intended to show
that the chinook salmon Matched IN
the Columbia found their way to the
Sacramento, and that, therefore, the
salmon of the Sacramento were the
same as the chinook of the Colum bla,
which is not generally supposed TO
be the ase.-Portland Oregonian.
