SILVER OATS TO
REPLACE BUNCH GRASS

If the experiments which agents
of the state land department have
encouraged in Grant and Douglas
counties succeed as well as they
promise a permanent and satisfac-
tory successor to the bunch grass
that once fed stock in central
Washington has been found. The
bunch grass was a victim of civil
lization for it never comes back
once it has been plowed under. But
the new grass known to ranchers
as silver oats, thrives on either
raw or cultivated land.
Agents of Land Commissioner
c. V. Savidge have been carrying
seed of the silver oats into new
districts and have interested the
state college in conducting exper-
iments with it. The grass has
thrived in the dry soil SO much
that ranchers have been able to
cut ten acres of hay per acre tho
mostly the grass is used for pas
ture.
There is a mystery as to how
the silver oats came into the dis
trict the most popular story being
that sheep men unwittingly broi
in the first seed when they car

that the cement trust" blocked
the plan. The Times says the gov
ernor is talking through his hat, or
words to that effect. Here is the
story, as the writer recalls, how
the oiling program Topped in the
legislature:
j. w. Hoover, highway engin-
eer, made a personal investigation
of oiled roads in eastern Oregon
and decided that an oil treatment,
costing about $4,000 a mile, would
be desirable and satisfactory for
certain dirt roads of eastern Wash
ington. He prepared his budget
and in accompanying blueprints,
details for members of the roads
and bridges committees, specified
"oiP' for a number of projects
totaling more than 900 miles.
The governor in his message to
the legislature said: 'In addition
to lao miles of new paving, the
biennial program calls for 65O
miles of oiled highway etc.
Thereafter, however, the gov
ernor did not publicly press the
matter. Neither did Mr.. Hoover.
Several legislators, chiefly house
members. both pro. and anti-Hart-
ley, went through the budget and
cut down the oil projects, leaving
about 200 miles. They suggested
that it was too much of an expert
ment to warrant the spending of
so much money without assurance
of feasibility. Other arguments,
which were more under cover,
were that the tendency toward oil
| ing would hold back hard-surface
construction and that oil treatment

"The length of time during
which firing of the heaters was
necessary on the nights, of April
1920 and 2O-21 was somewhat
longer than that usually expert
enced in the Yakima valley, and
the temperatures were the lowest
ever recorded during the straw
berry blooming period. If grow
er intends to protect his crop, it
is essential, therefore, that ne be
prepared to meet the worst con-
ditions possible, both as to temper
allure and length of firing period.
The results of this experiment
proves conclusively that the de-
sired results may be obtained on
ly when the distance between the
heaters is no greater than twenty
feet.
"In studying the cost Of heat
ing, the unusual conditions which
existed this year must be given
due consideration. The real benefits
derived from heating can be de-
termined not from the records of
one season only, but from the da-
ia covering a period of several
years with frosts varying intens-
ity."

mort hort ends with the following con-
clusions:
aThe test has definitely shown
that strawberries and other low
lying ground crops can be pro-
tected from frost injury by me-
thods of artificial heating. The
chief consideration is the cost of
the heating operation in compar-
ison with the net returns from the
cop.
I'm order to render heating a
paying proposition, it is necessary
to have a well kept, full-producing
bed. The test plot was not such
patch. A large number of the
plants were winter killed in De-
cember, 1924, and new runners set
out by the remaining plants in
the following years were sufficient
to cover only about go per cent
of the available ground. This fact
should be born in mind when con-
sidering the yield from the heated
area One hundred and forty-two
standard twenty-four-pint crates
were harvested from the test plot.
Assuming that only go per cent
of the available ground produced
berries, the yield per acre was 237
crates. The aveage annual yield
when no injury results from frost
is about $50 crates per acre.
ct was not possible to secure
comparative records of yields be-
tween the heated area and the un-
heated area because all of the BED
was equipped with heating appar-
atus.. However, yield records from
the patch of Mr.. Krohling, OF
Richland, are available. Mr.. Kroh-
ling used the same type of heat
ers as those used on the oil tract
in one half of his bed leaving the
other half with no protection a.

yield per row in the heated par
was twenty-four to thirty hallocks
