Portland Stock Report, January 16.
Cattle-There was a light run Of
cattle on the market Monday, the
total being less than 500 head.
Trading was fairly active, although
demand was limited. Prices were on
about the same basis as a week ago,
although prime light steers showed
an advance of 15 to 25 cents, while
all other lines were steady.
Beef Steers-Trading in the beef
steer division was active, prime steers
selling up to $3.50 for several loads,
which was a good % cents higher
than a week ago. There were also
several loads of prime heavies that
crossed the scales at $3.50; medium
grades brought from $3.50 to $7.55,
with common kind down to IS; one
load of choice feeding steers at
1925; best COWS brought $3.50 for
few small lots, while two loads of
prime dehorned cows brought $7.35;
good kind realized around 81 to
$40; medium and fair grades $6.25
to $6.75; common valley cows and
Gamers 81 to $3.50.
Bulls-Prime heavy bulls brought
$3.50; good heavy bolognas at IS;
light bulls brought $3.50 to $3.50.
Hogs-The hog market is on the
climb yet, an advance of to 10
cents being made on all good butch
ers and packing droves. The top
was $10.55 for one load of choice
light hogs, which was 5 cents higher,
while the bulk of sales were $10.45
to $10.5O, which is big 10 cents
higher than week ago. Sellers had
hard time boosting prices, but af-
ter considerable holdings packers got
busy on the advance prices. Pigs
were in good supply with fair demand
at steady prices A few good pigs
brought 1925, while SO took the
bulk.
Sheep-The sheep trade is still at
standstill, the only supply received
having been weighed off cars to
packers. The trade is very firm and
prices on valley lambs have been
boosted another % cents to Sill. No
east of the mountain lambs have been
here for over a week, when lambs
brought $11.25 and yearlings $40.
A further advance may be expected
when supplies are available.

Buy Pure Bred Sires.

When you get a pure bred sire you
are not only buying the time and eff
forts of the man who owns him at
the present time, but also that of
men now dead and gone, who spent
time and money to make their cattle
just little thicker fleshed," little
smoother, earlier maturing and lit
tie nearer the market requirements
which is the ultimate test of any
breed or individual member of a
breed. Then why not buy pure bred
sires to head your flocks and herds? ?
Select a breed which you think, is
best, stay by it, buy pure bred sires,
care for them well and you will pro-
duce animals marketable at good
prices when your scrubs can not be
marketed at all.

William Stewart
Dead at MedfOrd

William A. Stewart, one of the
most prominent orchardists of the
valley and widely known, died at his
Medford residence January 10 of
sclerosis of the liver, aged AZ years.
Mr.. Stewart was born at Quincy,
ILL.,. and came to the valley with his
parents in 1885. His father, the late
Joseph H. Stewart, was the pioneer
commercial orchardist of the valley,
and planted the Burrell and other
famous orchard tracts, and his son
followed the same occupation, plant
ing the Hillcrest orchard and later
the Stewart orchard, west of Central
Point, which he owned at his death.
The deceased was member of the
Masonic lodge, the Blue lodge, the
Shriners, the Knights Templar and
the Elks, and director in the Farm
ers' & Fruitgrowers' Bank He
leaves wife, Mrs. Ida Stewart, and
three sisters, Mrs. Dillon Hill of Med
ford, Mrs. A. j. Weeks of Oakland
and Mrs. H. NJ. Crowell of Los An
geles.
The funeral was held Sunday at
$3.50. The body was shipped to Port

InOculatiOn of Seed.

On worn out land or where le-
gumes have never been grown, inocu-
lation should be practiced in sowing
red clover, vetch, alfalfa or field peas.
The charges are as follows: Suffi-
cient for one or two acres, 40 cents;
for two to fifteen acres, 60 cents.
Failure to inoculate seed is one of
the causes of poor stands of various
legumes where such crops have never
been grown before. In some cases
inoculation does not seem necessary.
The best way to find out is to get in
oculating material and treat part of
your seed. 1t will not cost you much
and may be of much value in the fu-
ture. ...

In moist climates, such as the east

In yield per acre, the potato crop
of this country is just where it was
fifty years ago. Increase in produc-
tion has been due to increase in acre
age rather than greater yields. Dur
ing the first twenty-five years of this
period there was great decrease in
yields, and during the last twenty
five years the ground lost has just
been regained. The decline in yield
is due to run out" seed stock, un-
controlled disease, and the ravages of
insect pests. The upward trend is
due to seed selection, and in meas
ure to disease control and the united
effort of growers in many sections to
improve the crop. The average yield
per acre is still less than one-half
what the. best growers are getting.
Do potatoes run OUT? This ques-
tion might be answered by asking,
docs livestock run down where
proper selection and mating are ne
glected?"
The best time to select potato seed
is in the field during the growing
season so as to harvest these potatoes
before the main digging. Hill selec-
tion is the safest and best method,
but improvement can be made if the
seed potatoes are sorted out from
the bins now. Do not wait until you
have used potatoes from the bin all
winter for household purposes. Do
not pick out the big ones especially,
but those of medium size, smooth,
and free from disease.
In sorting potatoes pick out any
that have started to rot. When first
put into the bin potatoes are likely
to sweat. This starts the germina-
tion of spores of different rots that
are found on the potatoes in the
field. One rotten potato may cause
several others to rot before spring.
After sorting them over and picking
out the seed stock, be sure to store
the seed where 1t will be kept cool to
avoid sprouting. The seed should be
kept in this condition until planting
time. The first sprout the potato

Western Union
Offers Novelty

Frequently persons wishing to send
a telegram of congratulation or of
sympathy are troubled about the
wording of the message. Often the
telegraph managers are appealed to
for suggestions, and the Western
Union Telegraph Company, observing
this. has realized that the prepara-
tion of a collection of suggested
forms for such messages would fill a
real want. II has therefore issued a
24-page booklet containing sugges-
tions for the wording of kilograms
appropriate to New Years day, East
er, Thanksgiving day, Christmas,
birthdays, weddings and new arrivals
via the stork route, messages of con-
dolence, and congratulatory messages
to school or college graduates and to
public men. They are intended as
suggestions only, and may be changed
and modified according to individual
taste and the exigencies of the par
ticular occasion. The typographical
arrangement is very attractive and
altogether the pamphlet represents
rather novel departure in the way of
an effort to be of assistance to the
telegraph-using public and should
prove of use to many. Copies may
be obtained on application to Man
ager Newcombe.

Lime-Sulphur Animal Dips.

A convenient formula for prepar-
ing lime-sulphur animals dips, termed
the $3.50 formula, is suggested, as
result of extensive experiments, in
professional paper No. 451, The
Chemical Composition Of Lime-Sul-
phur Animal Dips, recently published
by the u S, Department of Agricul-
ture. The experimental work was
undertaken with the object of i'm
proving existing formulas so as to
simplify the preparation and, if posi-
BILE, lessen the cost of these dips. To
accomplish these purposes the author
recommends-bu solely for use as
an animal dip-the $3.50 formula;
that is, eight pounds of high-grade
commercial quicklime, eighteen
pounds fine sulphur (either flowers
or flour), with somewhat more than
ten gallons of water, boiled to vol
ume of ten gallons at the finish. The
time of actual boiling should be one
hour. The theoretical ratio between
lime and sulphur will be met by this
formula If the lime is 9S,9 per cent
pure; therefore the formula as given
is appropriate for preparing a solu-
tion for dipping sheep where any
chance of an excess of lime must be
avoided. If commercial hydrated
mot air slacked) lime is used the
amount should be increased nearly
one-third, say to 1915 pounds. For
dipping cattle the formula may be
used on the basis of available calcium
oXid if the analysis of the lime is
known, or II not known the lime may
safely be raised to S.5 pounds, cor
responding to 925 per cent available
calcium oxide, possibly even to nine
pounds.
The finished solution, drawn of
from the sediment, should theoretic-
ally contain IS per cent (grams per
100 C. c.) of sulphid sulphur, but
probably will contain somewhat less
1t is, therefore, appropriate for dip
ping sheep at dilution of one vol
ume of concentrate to nine or ten vol.
umes of water, and for cattle at a
dilution of one volume of concentrate
to seven or eight volumes of water
But in any event, since baths lose
strength during dipping, it is very
desirable to keep them at all times
under control by means of "field

does not necessarily apply to the

efforts should be made to cool down
the storage room to prevent any

You can not plant Gull seed and

Wheat Under Irrigation.

A great deal of wheat is raised
under irrigation in different parts of
the world, and most of the grain
raised in our mountain states is irri-
gated. The Utah Experiment Station
has been experimenting on wheat
growing for years, and the following
is a summary of recent bulletin on
this subject:
Wheat should probably not be
raised extensively under irrigation,
but knowledge of its water require
ment is important, because some
wheat will probably always be raised
on irrigated land.
The highest yield of wheat was
produced with three irrigations of
five inches each, applied at the five
leaf, the early boot and the bloom
stages.
Irrigation water applied after the
grain was planted before it was up,
and that applied after the dough
stage, decreased the yield.
Where only one irrigation was Civ
en- the best time to give it was at the
five-leaf stage.
Where two irrigations were ap-
piled, the five-leaf and the boot
stages were best
Where three irrigations were CIV
en-, the five-leaf, the boot and the
bloom stages were best.
Water applied during early growth
of wheat increased its height more
than that applied at any other time.
The number of kernels in each
head is decidedly affected by irriga-
tion water applied during early
growth, and less so by that applied
later.
The date of maturity of wheat was
retarded by excessive irrigation.
Economy in the use of water was
increased by the use of barnyard ma
nure.
From rs to 95 per cent of the yield
OF irrigated wheat under various sys-
tens of irrigation was produced by
the natural precipitation.
Twenty acre-inches of water spread
over four acres Of land produced
more than three times as much wheat
as where it was all used on one acre.
These experiments show rather
conclusively that on the deep soils of
Utah the best system of irrigating
wheat is to apply three irrigations of
about five inches each, beginning
when the wheat is six or eight inches
high and stopping about the time 1t
is in blossom.
While wheat can he raised under
irrigation, water can probably for the
present be used to better advantage
in this state except where it is desir-
able to use a grain crop in rotation.
