Valuable Bulletin on Forage Crops.

Washington, D. c., Nov. %, 1906.
Editor The Ranch: You are no
doubt considering what kind OF
Christmas greeting you shall extend
TO your readers. 1t seems to me that
it would be worth while in this con-
nection to suggest some good winter
reading. | therefore ask for little
space to call attention to the valuable
information for farmers west or the
Cascade mountains in Oregon and
washington contained in a bulletin
recently issued jointly by the Oregon
and Washington experiment. stations
and the United States department OF
agriculture, and prepared by Mr.. By
ron Hunter, now of Corvallis, Oregon,
after many years Of careful study in
that region This bulletin was origi-
nallv issued under the title Farm
Prac elise with Forage Crops in West
ern Oregon and Western Washing
ton" The demand for it has been so
large that it is now being reissued as
a farmers bulletin under the title:
Forage Crop Practises in western
Oregon and Western Washington.
In this bulletin Mr.. Hunter takes
up the subject of hay making and all
of the grasses and forage plants which
are of any particular Importance IN
the region considered. He describes
the methods of hay making used by a
large number of the most successful
farmers on the west side. or course,
timothy and red clover come in for
the lions share of attention. Some OF
the minor crops which are especially
mentioned, and the possible position
of which in the future of the agricul-
ture of the west side is discussed,
are: Alsike clover, common vetch,
pearl vetch, and thousand-headed kale.
MI. Hunter finds that in the William
cite valley red clover is, to some ex-
tent, being replaced by alsike clover
and vetch. He gives detailed accounts
of methods of growing and handling

vetch and the use made of this crop.
II is undoubtedly worthy the atten-
ton of farmers in the Puget Sound
region. We have found variety of
vetch on two farms in which the seed
is white like the common garden pea,
and it is said to make an excellent
table vegetable. Otherwise the plant
is undistinguishable from the common
yetch.
One of the most interesting things
discovered by Mr.. Hunter in his study
Of farm practise was the position oc-
Cupied by thousand-headed kale on
farm near Milwaukee, Oregon. This
farmer has been growing this crop for
twenty-seven years, and states that he
sets yield of from 80 to 40 tons of
green feed per acre from it. A pho
tograph reproduced in the bulletin
indicates that this is no eXaggeratiOn.
1'he crop is planted in the spring and
is ready to begin feeding about Oc-
tober 1. 1t stands in the field all win
ter, aud is fed out as needed, thus
taking the place of silage in the winter
ration. 1t is easily seen that this crop
would be of no value east of the Cas-

winter it would be frozen; but on the
west side it is certainly worthy OF at
tcntion Several other farmers in the
same section have begun growing
kale. and it would seem that this crop
is destined to occupy position OF
considerable Importance on the west
side in the future
DR.. Withycombe, OF the Oregon eX-
reriment station, is preparing to issue
a large edition of this bulletin, ana
arrangements have been made where
by the Washington experiment station
can supply It's correspondents with
copies Every farmer who is in any
way interested in grasses and forage
plants should secure a copy OF Mr..
Hunters bulletin. 1t will make good
reading for the long winter evening.

Servinq Automobile Parties.

The automobile has worked itself
into a warm place in the heart OF
many man and woman and the num-
Der of machines in use is constantly
on the increase. From the cities
scores of parties travel into the coun-
try in the warm summer months, often
making tours of fifty and hundred
miles in a day. Automobiling creates
a good appetite in those who partake
of the sport, and this appetite must
be satisfied in the country. This sug-
gests the possibility OF country people
properly situated, to make a little PIN
money all summer. II you live by
the roadside and have neat surround
ings. why not set apart a spot on the
green lawn where few tables may
be set up, with comfortable benches

Keeping potatoes over winter anu
having them come out nice and sound,
calls for careful digging and handling.
Like most vegetables, late sorts are
the best keepers. These should be
left in the ground as long as possible,
providing the fall is comparatively dry.
Along in October they will be we'll
ripened and may be dug and carried
direct to the cellar. Many store pota-
toes in trenches. The writer has new
er found this method desirable. The
dry cellar is the best, for here one can
come nearer controlling the temper

greatest ingenuity to make the spot
attractive Let it become known that
your place is the rendezvous of auto
MODELLING parties, and that there the
tired and hungry travellers may find
rest and refreshment. If you live
near stream or near some attractive

the road in front of your place is
properly graded for autos and that
there are places close by where the
machines may be left secure from in

Then make all arrangements for sup
plying refreshments, such as lemon

of two or three kinds, cold milk, but

prices may be realized from the re-

When the question of continuing the
distribution of prize penny packages
OF pumpkin seeds was before congress
at it's last session the bulk OF the
votes in it's favor came from the south,
From the action of the South Texas
Fruit and Truck Growers association,
however, it appears that the farmers
OF the south are not anxious to con-
tiEue receiving these seeds, but would
rather have the money devoted to
other purposes of real benefit to agri-
culture At a recent meeting OF the
association strong anti free-seed reso-
buttons were adopted. Among other
things the resolutions say that the
seeds received from the members OF
congress ARE usually the varieties
known to be unsuited to the soil and
climate of South Texas and hence are
worthless to us. These seeds are
sent to us by our representatives in
congress under the mistaken idea that
a favor is being conferred, which mis-
taken idea we hereby wish to correct.
The amount of money spent annually
for seed distribution if apportioned
among the United States experiment
stations, would be a thousand times
more beneficial to each OF us than
as it is now spent"
