East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1922-11-25

The total Oregon crop this year is
estimated at 4,S30,000 bushels, pro-
duced on $1,000 acres, or yield per
acre of 105 bushels. Last years pro-
ducton was estimated at 3,S7O,OQO
bushels. produced on $4,000 acres, u
yield of 30 bushels per acre The in
creased production this year is manly
due to increased acreage in irrigated
districts, which produce Il high yield
per acre.
The United States crop of 1922 is
now estimated at an average yield of
1925 bushels per acre with total
production of 33,905,000 bushels
compared with last years yield of 9O.9
bushels per acre, and a total produc-
ton of 346, ,S23, 900 bushels.
Carlot movement of the 1922 Ore
gon crop to Nov. II is reported to be
572 cars compared with 36t cars last
season to same date. The 1922 move
ment however has been largely from
the early irrigated districts. The Oc-
| tober and November car load ship
ments have been only about 70 per
cent of last year for the same period.

little more money for the growers.
Seven states are not moving as

NEW BREEDS OF LIVE STOCK
Columbia Sheep Are Particularly
Adapted to Range Conditions
New Type Of Horse.

The United States Department Of
Agriculture is developing types of live
stock believed to be more useful than
some now represented by present
breeds.
Range sheep breeding conducted In
Clark county, Idaho. is resulting In
a type which has become so fixed as
to warrant its classification as a breed.
These sheep, known as Columbia
sheep, are particularly adapted to
range conditions and are believed to
be profitable both for mutton and wool
production.
A new type Of American utility
horse Is rapidly being established, in
cooperation with the state, at Buff
falo, Wyoming. Among the character
istfcs of the type-possibly entitled to
the term 'breed'-are activity,
strength, endurance, and reasonable
speed. The horses are believed to
meet a demand for general farm and
ranch work, delivery purposes, and
for certain classes Of military serv-
Ice.
Poultry breeding at the bureau
farm, Beltsville, Nd, shows progress
in the establishment of a new breed
Of fowl. Certain characteristics, such
as white plumage and yellow legs and
skin, are now well fixed, but there is
still considerable variation in the type
and in color of eggs. The birds de-
veloped this year show Improvement
owe those of a year ago.

hundreds of thousands Of dollars how
much the United States pays yearly
or monthly In salaries and wages. I
went to the Treasury department, to
the appropriations committee of con-
gress, and elsewhere where I thought
the information might be lodged, but
nobody knew. I was told vaguely that
the government was not run on an
asset and liability basis, and therefore
1t was not necessary to know the exact
number Of employees on the payroll.
If the average compensation Is ST.
100, the federal civil service payroll
now amounts to more than seven
hundred million dollars annually. The
largest single branch is the Post Office
department., with nearly 100000 en-
ployees. The War department has
more than 125,O0O civilian employees,
the Navy department about 10000, and
the Treasury department. about 10000.
No other branch has as many as 25, 200
employees. Any institution that en-
ploys one in seventy-three of all this
country's workers and calls for the
expenditure OF such a large part of
our annual revenues is entitled to
your serious consideration. You and
you alone NH ui,, tl9p money.

PUREBRED FEMALES FAVORED
In Opinion of Specialists Number Of
Purebreds of Both Sexes Is Rap
idly Increasing.

According to figures announced b.
the United States Department of Ag
rfculture, live stock owners In the
United States show a tendency toward
purebred female animals as we'll as
toward purebred sires. In fact, the
use Of well-bred sires appears to in
crease the s of good females. Dur
Ing the period October l, 1919. to
March 81, 1920, the quality of female
stock kept in herds and f1ocks headed
by purebred sfres, was 1873 per cent
p%urebred, and 20 per CEN scrub. The
remaining number were grades of
erossbreds. Later figures covering the
period October l, 1919, to December
81, 1920, show that the number of
purebred females kept under CORE
spending conditions had increased to
$50 per cent and scrubs had fallen
10 FL.
These figures are based on a knowl-
edge of the breeding Of nearly 400, 900
head of animals and poultry. In the
opinion Of department live stock spe-
ctalists, the more general use Of pure
breds of both sexes on farms In the
United States Is increasing. In about
q year, 1t appears, the Increase In the
use Of purebred females by purebred-
sire users has been at least 7 per cent.

Methods Used and Results Obtained

Experiments to determine the most

operating with the state agricultural
experiment. station. Sixty two-year-
old steers, ! averaging 927 pounds in
weight, were divided into six lots of

128 days. beginning December %, 1919.
The greatest gain-93 pounds-was
made by the lot fed ON a daily ration
Of % pounds Of silage, 5.4 pounds Of
straw, and one pound of cottonseed
meal. Other .rations and gains were:
Silage 60 pounds, gain, 70 pounds;
