Fish Warden II. G. Van Dusen
passed through this morning over the
o. r. & N. en- route to Ontario
where he is called by the alarming
news that the catch of female sal
mon at the big state hatchery at that
place is but one-tenth of the catch of
last year, and that the hatchery is
practically out of business for lack
of eggs.
For some unknown reason the run
of salmon at the hatchery was un-
precedentedly light this season, and
the take of eggs at the present rate
will not reach 10.0OO,OOO while last
year the output of the hatchery was
so. 100000 fry. The hatchery is the
largest in the world. and as this is
the very height Of the busy season.
Mr.. Van Dusen fears that the output
this year. even though more fish are
caught In the storage reservoirs later

Wherever you find one farmer in
a community raising "a little better
crops than his neighbor every year,
and getting little better price for
his product in the same market, you
may know that there is some special
individual effort being used by that
man that pays him in dollars and
cents for his intelligence and trouble" +"
said Col. r. c. Judson to the East
Oregonian today
I'm every farming community are
found men who raise just a few bush
els more wheat to the acre than their
neighbors, every year; their wheat
tests just a few pounds more and is
just little better grade, yet grow
ing on exactly the same ground.
This is not chance. 1t is not luck.
II is not a happening that may come
to any man. no matter what his farm
ing methods. 1t is the result of intel
ligent study of natures laws and the
application of the knowledge so gain
ed to the cultivation of the soil and
the culture of crops.
Deep plowing, frequent harrow
ing and rolling the land, on the sum-
mer fallow in the Palouse country
produces a larger yield of wheat than
in other wheat growing districts
where the same methods are not
practiced.
From personal observation !
know that these advanced methods
of farming produce increased crop
yields. The increased yield more
than pays for the extra labor, be-
sides the extra cultivation leaves the
land i'm a much better condition for
succeeding crops. 1t conserves the
strength Of the land enriches il
from the very moisture stored by this
cultivation and brings returns I'm dol
lars and cents when the crop is turn
ed off and accounts balanced up for
the year.
Another thing that might be done
by farmers at a great profit is the
planting of only the largest and most
perfect kernels of wheat. The screens
in the tanning mills can be used to
separate the large kernels from the
small. The small kernels are just as
marketable as the large ones. and
the large will yield two-fold more
kernels of wheat, much heavier
straw for feed and stand drouth and
cold weather much better. Try this
experiment on a small tract. Seed
your large and small kerneled wheat
side by side and note the difference
at threshing time.
" When a cattleman saves a bull
calf, does he save the little, scrawny
'runt.' or does he separate out the
biggest, most beautiful specimen in
the herd? Does the sheepman choose
the weakling to be the sire of his fu-
ture flocks? The same law applies in
wheat raising, in corn raising, in po-
tato raising and i'm fruit growing. 1t
IS all part of the science of farm
ng. and must be studied and prac-
iced IL farming is brought up % its
highest standard"
