Rape Successfully Grown in Oregon
Dr. James Whycombe Tells How Plant Was Brought From
Englind In 1871.

plant takes on new life, as it were, and
in short period makes an excellent
pasture. For this system the land
should be comparatively rich and in
good physical condition.
Perhaps the most popular and gen
eral method of growing rape in Oregon
is broadcast seeding about the first of
June. The land is usually Flowed and
worked down il the spring as soon as
it is in condition, then allowed to lie
until about the first of June, when
from two to three pounds of rape seed
per acre are sown broadcast. The seed
is covered with cultivator or disk
harrow, after which the land is worked
down fine. Rape sown in this manner
makes a luxuriant pasture about the
first of August, when it i'll carry from
five to ten sheep per acre for the
greater part of the fall
A popular method with many pro-
gressive agriculturists is to SOW clover
and rape sogether about the middle Of
May. They invariably secure good
stand of clover, and the two make a
very satisfactory hog and sheep pasture
through the autumn and early winter.
Rape is sometimes sown on cora
ground just preceding the last cultiva-
tion, and with timely rairs the rap,
will furnish a great deal of pasture
after the corn is harvested.
The winters in Western Oregon are
rarely severe enough to kill the plant;
hence the opportunities here ae excep,
tionally favorable for growing rape
seed. A yield of 1000 pounds of seed
per acr is MT unusual

N APE has been grown in Oregon
for the past 80 years. Seed of
the Dwarf Essex variety was
brought here from England in 1871 by
Thomas Withycombe, and the plant
3lourished from the start as the climatic
conditions were suitable to its growth
Notwithstanding the practical demon
stration of the value of the plant for
about 20 years in the locality in which
1t was first introduced, it did not at
tain its popularity and prominence as a
forage crop until within the past five
or 10 years.
There are three general methods en-
ployed in the growing of rape in West
ern Oregon. For early summer feed,
either for pasturing or for -soiling, the
seed is sown in drills about q to 3
feet apart early in the spring on well
prepared ground. One and one half
pounds of seed per acre Ire usually
sown, and as soon as the plants are
well up they are cultivated with sin
gle or two horse cultivator. This opera
tion is repeated about once week dur
ing the growing season.

ant and continuous growth. A good fall
pasture is frequently secured by sowing
from two to three pounds of rape seed
per acre with the spring seeding of
oats The seed terminates and makes
rather vigorous growth at first, but
as the season advances and the soil
moisture grows less the plant withers
and assumes an almost lifeless form.

Learn To Become An
Expert Driver

EARN TO become an expert driver.
- The experienced driver knows that

T. The experienced driver knows that
the whip is the wrong thing to
depend upon in a tight place, and the
use of it invites disaster. In order to
come through close shaves the driver
must have the love and confidence of
his team, and this can only be won by
kindness.
l have known men that claimed to be
expert drivers in the woods who made a
great hullabaloo, cracking whips and
yelling, and managed to avoid acci-
dents, but put them out on a big road
and they eouldn t drive at ALL | saw
one driver who was noted as the "best
driver who ever hauled bark. +" He had
on big load of bark and lad to pull
against hillside sidewise, then make
a sharp turn down steep hill. A pine
tree stood close to one fore wheel, and
an oak close to the opposite hind wheel
if he went on. / told m, "'You are
going to strip every bit of your load
off, for the wagon will slide.' He did
not use any whip, eyed the situation
carefully, and then spoke softly to the
team. Well, sir, he made the turn and
came around safely, and the edge of
the load merely brushed one of the
trees. That is what an expert can do.
10 an expert driver the city jam has
no terrors, but the ignorant, careless,
or ratified driver is terror to all team
sters, just as drunken engineer is a.
menace to all trainmen before and be-
hind him.

silo than to incur the risk of increas-
ing the diameter. 1t is cheaper as well
as safer.
"Oregon has many plants which will
fill the silo profitably Glover is a
standard silage plant and makes a
splendid product. Should it develop an
odor, let it get a trifle ripe, passing
the stage for good hay. Don't cut it
too soon.
"Corn is an ideal silo filler, and may
be grown for silage in many parts of
Oregon. 1t must be well matured or
the enslage gets too sour.
"But if you cannot grow corn sue
cessfully never mind about it; there
are other plants which will fill the silo

Growing Legumes.

When legumes, such as clovers, al
falfa, peas, beans, etc, are well sup
piled with the necessary moisture,
phosphorus, potassium, calcium and
other necessary elements, they are able
to grow on soils extremely low in or
ganic matter and by their growth and
when turned under, are able to add
to the vegetable matter of the soil and
by leaving a supply of nitrogen they
tit the soil for the growth of other
crops not supplied by nature with this
special method of securing their nitro
gen. The growing of legumes, there
fore, is the starting point in the i'm
provement of sandy soils and is the
most important practice in the main
tenance Of their fertility.

r XPERIENCE has shown that the
= sugar beet reaches its highest
development in the north tenn
perate latitudes. Although the condi-
tions of temperature must be taken
into consideration in selecting localities
for the growing of sugar beets yet in
addition to the thermal conditions must
also be studied those of rainfall or
water supply.
The sugar beet requires a certain
amount Of moisture in order to produce
its normal crop. This water may be
supplied by precipitation in the usual
way, by irrigation, or else the soil must
be of that particular quality which will
allow subterranean moisture to reach
the roots of the plants. The porous and
sandy soils adjacent to rivers some
times furnish sufficient amount of
subterranean moisture to produce a
good crop in connection with the rain
fall.
In general, beets require four or five
months of growing weather for their
successful production. In the West,
where the moisture is applied by irri-
CATION, the crop may be harvested at a
certain stage, thus making the condi
tions ideal In the Eastern sections of
the country, where the moiatur, is ap-
piled by rainfall, second growth may
occur after maturity, caused by rain,
which greatly reduces the sugar con,
tent of the beet. III
The sugar beet does remarkably we'll
at high elevations froLi the fact that
it is injured very little by frost and
hail stores unless they are too severe

Common Sense Main
Farming Need

rHERE is nothing mysterious about
farming. Followed on the samO
lines that would be allotted to any
other business it is practically sure .

mon sense is about the greatest secret,
The farmer who is making sue.
cess is a practical man. He has Few
theories to work out. He has learned
what to do and how to do it, He reaps
profit where men less practical find
disappointment if not disaster. 1t is
well to be an enthusiastic farmer
An institute lecturer, some years ago,
said: ~ believe farming, when con-
Quoted with the same skill, economy
and enterprise which characterizes most
other fields of industry, affords ample
rem lneration, that it leads to better
physical development than almost any
other vocation in life; that it lessons
and surroundings promote higher
moral and spiritual development than
any other calling, and, therefore, it
pays"
There is nothing more important to
successful farming thar a judicious ap-
plication of time and an intelligent
rotation of crops.
Another important matter is the d.
vision of time. Th~ man who works
from Is to IS hours day is generally
a man who is behind with his business.
There IS just as much need of good,
SCUM Judgment in farming as in any
other vocation. To use muscle instead
Of brains is but to court failure. Ten
hours is sufficient for any man to work
in one day, /. if the work is symtem-
atically arranged, it is surprising low

or too early. Profitabi. crops of sugar
beets are, however, seldom produced
above the elevation of 5000 feet.
Probably The best soil for sugar
beets is good, deep, clayey loan with
sufficient saTd or silt to allow it's be-
ing easily pulverized. Since the sugar
beet is deep rooted ii necessarily re-
quires deep soil. The low, wet soils
are poorly adapted to this crop as they
are wet and prevent any rapid develop
ment in the early stages of growth, and
the later growth continues beyond the
time of maturity. Such soils produce q
water beet of low guilty, resulting in
a low sugar content. Soils which have
hard pan formation within IS ,ches of
the surface should never be used for
beets since they greatly interfere with
root growth, and also have tendency
to lose moisture.
Stony and gravely soils should /,
avoided, since they are incapable of
holding water, and stony soils prevent
the proper development in form of
roots, which is essential for the high
est quality of beets. Sandy soils which
have tendency to blow should never
be used, as the young plants are ire
quently destroyed by strong winds.
The sugar beet requires a deep, mellow
soil quite rich in available plant food
and free from weed growth.

Suggestions For Removing Stains

water, afterwards pour boiling water
through.
If by chance you get machine oil on
a garment while making, cover with
lard and wash with soap and cold water.
Finish with hot wtaer and soap. The
same method may be used for axel
grease. For hlood stains, soak in cold
water and salt. Then use soap and
water, or paste made Of starch and
water.
Scorched Garment
Occasionally garment gets scorched
while being ironed. OF course if the
scorch is bad there is no help for it,
but if only slight one, dampen the
spot slightly, rub with soap, and put
in the sun. g
Sometimes when getting out our sum
mer underwear and other white gar
ments we find them yellowed. The best
remedy for this is to soak them in
butterinilk for few days, wash in cold
water and launder as usual.
A quicker bleach is chloride of lime.
Make weak solution and soak gar
ments for half an hour before wash
ing
An excellent bleaching fluid called
javello water is made as follows: One
pound sal soda, one-fourth pound
of lime and two quarts of cold
water. Mix, let stand several hours,
drain and bottle. Keep in cool, dark
place. Wet stains with soft cloth, or
dip garment and rinse well with cold
water. Repeat if necessary and wash
at last in weak solution of ammonia
water. Launder as usual.
Faded Lawns, dimities or other thin
goods which in their present conditions
are not presentable, may be bleached
by some of these methods, and finish
out their days of usefulness as pure
white garments.
