SPENCER AKERS BUYS
LAND NORTH OF lone

Spencer Akers of this city, who a
few weeks ago, sold his Heppner fat
ranch to VIM. H. Padberg, has pur-
chased 800 acres of land, commonly
known as the Airhart land, north Of
lone from the Vermont Loan & Trust
Co. The price paid for the land has
not been made public, but 1t is un-
derstood that it was held at IS per
acre.
Mr.. Akers will farm the land thor
oughly and it is his intention to rent
some land adjoining, probably a Sec
ton, and farm on fairly large scale.
He has a man employed at the present
time on his new ranch sowing the

THE ARMY CUTWORM
MAY INVADE OREGON

Specimens of the dreaded Western
army cutworms were received this
week from Western Washington by
A. L. Lovett, etomologist of the o.
A. C. Experiment Station. While he
hopes that this is simply spordatic
outbreak. growers throughout East
ern and Western Oregon are urged
to keep careful lookout for this SER
ious pest. The caterpillar is in ap-
pearance like any ordinary cutworm
caterpillar-a soft, mottled, grayish-
brown caterpillar, about one inch in
length at this time. They move in
hordes and destroy all green vegeta-
tion in their pathway, and where
present in sufficient numbers, can de-
vastate great areas of the small
grain, alfalfa and truck crops.
Natural barriers prove check to
their progress. Flowing furrow at
right angles to their course of travel
and later dragging small log up and
down the furrow to prepare a dust
mulch, will stop them. They will
drop into the furrow and are unable
to crawl up the sides. The standard
poison bran mash is also effective
when broadcasted over the ground
along their course of travel. Any
suspected caterpillars found should
be sent to the Experiment Station al
Corvallis, for Identification, so that
It will be possible to act in time to
prevent any serious losses from this
pest.

LIVESTOCK HIT BY
THE LATE SEASON

Livestock conditions in the Nation
al Forest regions of Washington are
good, with fairly high lambing av-
erage, according to reports received
by District Forester George H. Cecil,
Portland, Oregon. In Oregon stock
conditions are below normal in the
National Forest regions. This is due
to the unusually long feeding season.
In many sections the hay is entirely
used up.
In the Deschutes country, near the
Fremont National Forest, the upper
John Day country, and in Baker
county, Oregon, will occur the Sc
verest losses on account of late sea-
son and hay shortage. Most cattle
in Oregon and Washington have not
through the winter in rather poor
condition.
To meet the emergency which ex-
lists, the Supervisors of the National
Forests in Oregon and Washington
have been authorized to open them
to livestock which is short of feed
earlier than the usual date, whenever
it can be done without material in
jury to the early grasses. The For
est Service will make every. effort to
aid the stockman in saving their ami
mails from starvation.
| Forest Service reports show that
severe weather conditions are causing
heavy losses of cattle and sheep in
the northern Rocky Mountain region.
Because of unusually deep snow, con-
tinued storms, and the late spring,
the supply of feed in most Of the re-
gion has been practically exhausted.
Hay is now selling at twenty dollars
| to forty dollars ton and 1t is al
most impossible to get even at these
prices.
The loss of sheep in Wyoming,
Montana, Idaho, Utah and Nevada
will, it is feared, be unusually heavy.
Well posted stockmen estimate that
1t may reach 20 per cent. 1t is stated
that the sheep are generally in poor
condition and many of the bands
which came through the winter with
out losses are now beginning to suf-
fer. A light lamb and wool crop Is
anticipated for the whole Rocky
Mountain region.
All indications are that the cattle
men have been equally hard hit. In
parts Of Idaho, Montana and Wyom-
ing, unusually severe losses are In
prospect. No reliable figures are OBJ
tainable from Northern Nevada and
Utah, but all reports agree that the
number of livestock will be greatly
reduced in those sections also.
| The fact that supplies Of grain and
hay have been almost exhausted and
the spring ranges are generally COW
cred with snow, leads experienced
stockmen to fear that many more
animals will die before the situation
is relieved by warm weather In
some regions the snow is so deep that
hay cannot be hauled to the starving
stock except on hand drawn sleds.

The success Of the potato crop de-

most important is the selection and
cutting of seed potatoes. Potatoes that
are quartered are likely to produce
smaller crop than wncn cut IN half

The reason is that the larger eyes

ter is the best soil. Sitter land may be
improved as a potato soil by green
manuring and drainage. the lighter soil
can be made sufficiently rich by the
addition OF green manure and fertil-
izers. Preparation of the land should be
Geep and thorough.
Planting without ridging generally
affords the larger yields. but a stiff
soil and the desire for an extra early
crop sometimes necessitates planting
on ridges. On mellow, well drained soil
deep planting uhree to five inches) is
best. especially when the season is
dry. For the early crop or on soil with
a tendency to bake, the depth Of plant
ing may be decreased. The use of the
harrow before the plants are all up and
frequent shallow cultivation afterwards
until the vines shade the land is ad-
visabe.
Seed potatoes should generally be
selected from varieties grown in the To-
cality where they are to be planted.
The yield from planting the seed or bud
end is greater than that from the stem
or butt end of the tuber. The eyes on
the seed end are the first to terminate
and make an earlier as well as larger
crop.

will be delayed if sprouts are knocked
