AGRICULTURAL AGENTS.

NOUNTY AGRICULTURAL agents
W have been provided for by APP
preparations in ten counties of the
state and steps for maintaining this
service have been taken by other pro-
gressive counties. Thus practically one
third of the Oregon counties have com
mitted themselves to the county demon
stration policy, which is remarkable
showing for the short time since the
policy was inaugurated.
"The Counties of Harvey, Wallowa,
Union, Grant, klamath, Coos, Tilla
nook, Lane and Marion, have made
appropriations for maintaining county
agricultural experts, said Professor H.
I. French, state leader of county farm
and field demonstration work. "The
sum provided by each county will be
duplicated by the state. The United
States apartment of Agriculture will
also cooperate with the counties and
the extension division of the Agricul-
tural College in carrying ON the demon
Istration work. "
A number of these counties have
been supplied with field agents, and
and the others will be supplied as rap
idly as Professor French can examine
the credentials of APPLICANTS and make
the appointments. The farmers of Wal
Iowa County were saved from serious
damage by smut through the work of
their field agent, Floyd RAIDER They
were also enabled to effect large sav.
ing by using modern pig houses, con
strueted after the model designed by
Mr.. RAIDER. Dairymen in Coos County
are organizing the dairy industry
under the supervision Of County Agent
Smith, cow testing associations being
generally formed. These incidents H.
lustrate some of the benefits of the
demonstration policy.
This policy is rapidly growing in
favor and use. There are more than
200 county agents now employed in
different states, some states supporting
90 agents. The kind Of work done by
these agents tends to increase the net
income of the farm and exalt the ideals
of country life.

POULTRY KEEPERS DON'TS AS
SEEN AT O. A. G. SHOW,

1enON'T use mongrel stock is one
~ of the first signs encountered
on entering the Utility Poultry
Show held by the Poultry Department
of the Oregon. Agricultural College
Professor James Dryden thus expressed
his estimate of the value of mongrel
fowls. He has resorted to a limited
and scientific use of cross breeding in
his work Oh developing new variety,
but only mongrels are different consid-
erations.
"Don't use immature stock is the
next sign displayed at the show. Both
size and variety are affected unfavor
ably by mating over young chickens
Vitality is an important factor in
heavy egglaying.
"Don t start too big" comes next.
No amount of knowledge and cnthu-
siasm can make up for lack of exper-
fence, and mistakes are sure to be
made in the beginning. If the begin
ming is on large scale, some of these
mistakes will prove very serious. There
fore, they should be made with only a
few fowls. When the business has
grown the mistakes can be avoided.
"Dont 50 will not conduct a profit
able poultry business but the intelli-
gent observation Of these three will
steer the beginner clear of some Of
the most disasterous, though alluring,
mistakes.

FACTORIES CONGRESS TO
ESTABLISH MANUFACTURES

"A CONGRESS of Manufactures was
~ held at Oregon City for the pur-
pose of considering the question of
locating many new factories in various
parts of the state. Prominent manu-
facturers and numerous delegates from
commercial clubs attended and discuss
ed the problems of production, market
ing, factories and transportation in
Oregon. The first aim of the con
gress is to asce' cain the actual con
ditions, after which it will utilize the

e CUCCESSFUL livestock growers as
- well as dealers in livestock and
meats, must know the market de-
mands and then grow animals that will
meet them. This is the cardinal princi-
pie of the industry as announced by Mr..
Forestel, expert buyer for the Union
Meat Company, in his livestock demon
stration before the Oregon Agricultural
College Short Course Students. Farmers
that raise livestock for beef and pork,
often aim at the production of animals
as big and as fat as they can be made.
When those farmers take the stock to
the markets they are disappointed and
often angry because it brings less per
pound than the smaller animals. Beef
animals are sold with the highest mar
gin of profit at from one to two years
of age A grower recently sold year
ling steer in the city market for $95 at
the same time that another grower sold
a two-year old for $ll7. There is no
profit at all in carrying beef animals
after they are two or three years old.
1t was further pointed out that types
should be developed that carry high
percentages in the choice parts of the
carcass. Everybody wants porterhouse
steak and prime ribs, and these cuts
must bear the loss of the chuck, which
is about AZ per cent of the dressed beef.
And then people wonder why beef is so
high. But growers vii profit by know.
ing the facts, if they choose their beef
types accordingly.

troll them, are learned by the
school children of Kennewiek, Wash,
from the Oregon Agricultural College
Biennial Crop Pest Report, which is
used as a text book. Requests for
copies of the Report were made by stu
dents and teachers of the Kennewck
school, who state that it contains the
most complete, reliable and practical in

over several years. 1t contains de-
scription of approximately all plant
diseases of economic Importance in the
Northwest, together with the most re-
liable and economical methods of con-
troll. 1t also contains a record of the
most important insect pests of this re-

New Jersey Featherweisht Expects Co
 Fight in This State.

Banty Lewis, the clever and hard hitting featherweight of Newark, is contemplating a trip which will bring him through New England, where he expects to hook up with the best avail able boxers in the featherweight class. Banty's first stop will be at New Haven and from here he expects to work up to Maine. Should he meet with suc- cess he will go on trip through the middle west.
 Lewis ability is well known to Con- necticut fans because of his good work in his bout with Frankie Burns in New Haven and Young McAuliffe at Bridgeport. Lewis victory over Irish Mahon in New York last week has boosted his stock greatly and his ser vices are in demand. By whipping Mahon, Banty annexed the clear title of featherweight champion of New Jersey. A bout is now pending be- tween Eddie Campi of California and Lewis, the only obstacle being in the way is the weight question. Banty Lewis will be accompanied on his trip to New Haven with.

Today's engagements Of gold exhausted the supply of gold ba-s in the essay office here, and it would be necessary to have higher rates to make shipments of coin profitable. Nevertheless it was expected that more gold would be sent abroad. Of today's ensagenerts s1, ,0Oo.O 900 was for Berlin. This was the first consisn- ment In about a year for Germany and it was believed that this gold was des- tined for Russia.
 European advices were pessimistic, and American stocks were lower abroad. London sold perhaps 1000 shares here.

the Fall River club of the Colonial league.
 E Kenneth Nash, last season with Wa terbury, and later secured by the St Louis Browns. has concluded to play F1rchburg independent team. Last winter Nash was a member of the Massachusetts legislature and rather than give up his work in the state- house refused to report for spring training. He expects to take chance later on. but not until the lawmakers have finished their deliberations. Nash had fine season with Waterbury last year, hitting we'll over the 300 mark and handling balls in the short field in fine shape.
 John H. Vannie, the Hartford boy who received a trial with the Ponies this spring, has caught on with the Fall River club of the Colonial league. Stuart (Lefty) Donahue, who also worked out with the Ponies, is after job with the Taunton club as . pitcher, while Frank White, also of this city, wants a place in the Taun- ton outdeld.
 The New Haven team, on paper, ap- pears to be formidable aggregation, but the weak hitting displayed of late has been a keen disappointment to both Manager Connell and the fans. Hitting is most important factor in winning ball games and no one real izes that assertion better than Mana ger Cornell himself He says the bat ting must take change for the bet ter or he will supplant some of the present stock with real hitters- If they are obtainable. Strange to relate, New Haven can't boast of a 300 hitter since Jerry ConneH assumed the man. agement of the local club. Conneh won a pennant during his first years reign and finished close second last year. During both campaigns the credit for a majority of the victories was justly due the pitching corps.-New Haven Journal-Courier.
