WAS ONCE BED OF THE OCEAN
But Vast Tract of Land in Central
Oregon Has Been Dry for Thous-
ands of Centuries

Scientific societies are beginning to
pay great deal of attention to central
CregOn's great ocean bed, dry now for
many thousands. of years. During the
past year fully a dozen expeditions
visited the huge inland sea that ex-
tended over hundreds of square miles
on the upper reaches of the Crooked
river.
Just to stand in the dry bed of the
sea or at points where the waves once
washed the shore and where the marks
of the tide are plain is unique ex-
perience. It's an astounding country,
every rock seemingly hiding fossil evil
dence of some nature, for at random
any ordinary looking outcrop or boul-
der will reveal clans, oysters, boring
shellfish or seaweed impressions. Your
head reels as you try to think back
centuries and tens of hundreds OF
centuries before, and see this vast ex-
panse of sand sagebrush and rocks as
a turbulent tropical ocean, palm trees
dotting the banks and weird animals
roaming the dense brush or haunting
the breakers as they bore food from
the great ocean.
Palm frond imprints twelve and
more feet i'm length can be found in
the rocks, fossil remains of the first
horse, he that had three toes; animals
too strange to re-create-it's a rich
country for the student, and now they
are trying to prove that it is a great
filling station, for oil drilling derricks
begin to make their appearances on
the horizon.
In any event here is country that
was fecund with life even before the
human race was evolved. Inside one
round seaworn boulder lay a perfect
oyster and inside the oyster the re-
mains of a pearl, crushed fat by the
pressure. Along the Shiny shores of
this sea the life must have been a
short one and crowded, for the coun-
try is honeycombed with evidence, all
of a low life origin-clam shells yard
across, great snails, other shells shaped
like nothing we see this day, marine
monsters not well organized enough to
go out for themselves, but doomed to
rest on still shore until petrified and
then to prove their age to discoveries
thousands of years later.

LIMIT TO ECONOMICAL USE OF
MOLASSES TO FATTEN STEERS

That there is limit to the quantity
Of blackstrap molasses which can be
added with economy to ration og 81
pounds OF cottonseed meal and 46
pound Of corn silage for fattening
yearlling steers was shown in test
made by the United States Department
Of Agriculture in cooperation with the
Louisiana Experiment station.
Two lots OF nine 7O0-pound steers
were fed for 112 days. Forty-siX
pounds OF silage per steer per day
was practically the limit Of their ca
pacity. Lot 1 was fed 5.42 pounds OF
molasses per steer daily, while lot 2
was fed SO7 pounds Of mollasses per
steer daily As lot l gained 2.4S
pounds per steer daily, while lot =
gained only 2.41 pounds per steer daily
II is evident that 2.G5 pounds OF mo-
lasses was wasted daily per steer In
lot 2. The results in lot might nave
have been more favorable to the use OF
so much molasses had the cottonseed-
meal ration been reduced to 3.5 or
pounds. In the test, lot l consumed
1850 pounds of silage. 21S pounds OF
cottonseed meal, and 21S pounds OF
molasses per 100 pounds gain. while
lot 2 required 2 per cent. more silage
3 per cent. more cottonseed meal, and
81 per cent more molasses to produce
100 pounds of gain.
