Oregon Agricultural College is the Friend of the Farmer
a

factories in the localities for success
full manufacturing.
cit is fitting that this movement to
promote the interests of Oregon man
ufacture should have it's origin at this
College, SAID Dean j. A. Bexell, Of
the School of Commerce under whose
auspices the convention was held.
+" Every important industry in the state
is represented here and we are not pro-
noting the interests of Corvallis, of
Benton county, or of the Willamette
Valley, in particular, but the interests
+of the whole state.
"Neither is this booster meeting.
Our purpose is to secure real facts re-
garding the various industries of the
state and the feasibility of locating
factories near the cent rs of produc-
ton of raw materials.
"The success of this movement to
establish new factories depends upon
our ability to show that they may be
made profitable. We cannot arbitrar
lily locate industries in any particular
locality-they must be caused to grow
into it. 1t may take long time to
accomplish much and this is a small be
ginning. But if this beginning results
in greater efficiency in handling our
surplus products and in creating new
pay rolls, it is well worth the effort. ="
The investigations of the congress
revealed the fact that while Oregon
was the first of the North Pacific
states to be put on the map, it is the
last in developing its resources. This
condition is due, say the findings of
the resolution committee, to the early
exploitation of the state by agents for
machinery and of watered stock. In
many factories have been
idle for years and much machinery has
gone to decay. Production has suffered
for lack of proper utilization.
The first step in the promotion Of
factories for Oregon Is a thorough re-
search in each part of the state, to de-
termine which raw materials are pro
duced, at what cost, and what market
and factory conditions are already pro-
vided. And finally, the minor prob
lens that enter into these larger ones
must be determined and solved.

BEEF CATTLE NOT WORTH FEED
ON SMALL FARM.

THAT BEEF cattle on the small
farm will make but small profit
if any at all, is the belief of Pro
fessor E. b. Fits, extension livestock
man at o. A. C. 1t is advisable to turn
off the beef early, since beef is pro
duced more cheaply during the first
two years of the animal S life than at
any time afterwards.
"There is no profit in feeding beef
cattle for the additional flesh that they
put on. The hay that beef eats in a
day is worth more than the beef it
makes. The only advantage in feeding
is to give high finish that will com
mand top prices.
"The beef animal is not so profit
able as the dairy COW or as pigs and
sheep. When beef is produced, the pro
ducers should breed along beef lines.
The Durham and Hereford generally
stand at the head of the beef breeds,
but the Galloway and Angus are also
good beef animals.'

fessor H. F. Wilson, entomologist of the
Oregon Agricultural College. "If you
can identify the insect and it is harm
full, then apply the standard spray ac-
eording to directions. If you cannot
identify it, then note the effect it has
on the plant. If the plant shows signs
of insect feeding, the visitors that cause
them are eating insects and can be con-
trolled by arsenical sprays. If the plant
shows curled leaves, wilted surface,
creasing, uneven and discolored tissues
but no nibbled areas, the visitors are
suching insects and can be controlled
by contact insecticides. But if the
plant shows no signs of damage the
visitors are probably either neutral, or
predacious insects in search of harm
full insects that they feed upon. The
plant often shelters the hunter as well
as the game. y

Kindness by stepping aside,'' is the
comment of Edna NJ. Plarida, art in
struetor, who will conduct the teach
ers' public school art classes in the
Oregon Agricultural College summer
session. "We are not trying to make
ddraughtsmen or artists of our boys
and girls; we are educating them for
bigger lives and higher ideals, making
better America for tomorrow than it
is today. Children must be taught how
to meet the needs of the people in the
fienst way.
"Tho Chinese and japanese have
come little nearer than any other
people to realizing the beauty in ordi-
nary things A comparison of our jugs
and tea jars with theirs will show how
crude and unpleasing ours are. Good
proportion and pleasing lines are two
qualities that lend themselves to al
most any material, however coarse, but
they are not found in household uten-
sils of domestic manufacture.
"Let us visit shop and ask to be
shown beautiful pitcher, adequate

After showing US the unsatisfactory

cissus in gaudy splashes mingle with
cows heads and fantastic scrolls. He

mand. So our people quietly 60 abroad

IDENTIFY THE INSECT, THEN
APPLY SPRAY.

cPRAYS should not be applied to
- plants to rid them of insects until
it is definitely known that the in
sects are harmful. The mere fact that
they are present in considerable num-
bers is not sufficient warrant for spray
ing. They may be harmful, but again
they may be either neutral or bene-
ficial. If they are injurious, they should
be combatted, but if they are beneficial,
they should be encouraged, since it is
definitely known that the restriction
of the natural enemies Of harmful in
sects has done much to increase the
numbers of harmful pests.

lege is source of help in their
everyday problems of the farm. The
flood of inquiries that reach the heads
of the departments make it difficult

and the answers are printed in the
