dying 4,770 specific problems relating
to tho agricultural industry of the
country, according to a compilation of
project subjects recently made by the
United States Department of Agricul
ture. Broadly grouped, there nre 1.9G0
projects dealing with agronomy sub

fertilizers, or about one-third of tho
total; 932 botanical and horicultural
probloms under investigation; animal
industry subjects, including dairying
and dairy products, compriso about

eighths of tho products for all other

In treating wheat for smut this
fall extra caro should bo taken thnt
it Is done right. In doing this 8 main
points are to be considered.
1. Secure tho formaldehydo in sealed
bottles, so that there will bo no'
chanco of a weak solution.
2. Fan tho wheat to remove trash,
light kernels, weed seeds and as
many of tho smut balls as possible.
3. Disinfect drill, wagon and all arti
cles that como in contact with tho
whoat after treatment with a 1 to 10
solution of formaldehyde and water.
A TVfnlrrt Hia cnliitfnn iir trt nrnnnr
strength ono pint of formaldehyde to
35 gallons of water.
5. Pour the seed slowly into the solu
tion and skim off the smut balls,
trash, etc.
6. Remove tho wheat as soon as this
is done, and cover for a few hours
with n blanket
7. Set the drill to sow a llttlo thicker,
as tho kernels may bo swollon.
8. Do not leave the wet wheat piled
up more than 12 hours, as it may heat
or mold.
Canning powders can not bo relied
on for safety from food poisoning, ac
cording to tho Bureau of Chemistry of
tho United States Department of Agri
culture. Extensive experiments recent
ly conducted to tost tile claims made
by certain widely advertised and dis
tributed canning powders, which con
sisted mainly of 95 per cent boric acid
with 5 per cent of salt added, have
shown conclusively that tho antiseptic
properties affect only a few molds
and micro-organisms iwfhich are not
responslblo for spoilage in properly
processed cans or jars.
Fruits and other acid products prop
erly packed when fresh and In good
condition keep without any canning
preparations. Much larger amounts of
canning powder than those recom
mend on tho package had no effect
One of tho most effective summer
short courses for boys and girls this
season was tho regular annual school
held at tho Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, at Corvallis, Oreg., from June 12
to 24. Eighteen counties wore repre

whom traveled several hundred miles
to reach Uio college. Theso boys and
girls were the prize winners at the
State Fair and delegates from tho
different standard clubs over tho state.
Tho largest country delegation was a
group of 48 boys and girls from Mutl
nomah county, including Portland.
Klamath County sent 41 club mem
bers in auto trucks and automobiles,
traveling 320 miles. Tho group of 16
coming from Malheur county in throe
automobiles traveled between 400 and
500 miles.
At tho short course classroom work
was given each morning, followed by

Surprlso milk contests contests in
which tho milk sold by various dealers
in a city la compared by taking sam
ples occasionally without warning
have been very effective in improving
tho milk supply of many cities. Con
tests of this kind carried out with tho
assistance of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculturo have shown re
markable results in a number of west
tern cities. Tho bactorlal counts and
tho total milk scores for tho cities
wero made up from tho results of tests
of samples from each of tho delivery
system.
In Long Beach, Calif., tho average
bacterial count In the first contest was
118,238; In tho last contest it wns down
to 11, 823. In tho first the averago
score of tho milk sold there was 71. 5G,
and In tho last it was up to 90.G7. Tho
milk sold in Riverside, Calif., improved
in bacterial count from 101,500 to
8,522, and rose in score from 82.93 to
93.C3. Los Angeles dealers, as a re
sult of theso surprise contests, made
great improvement in tho quality of
tho milk supply, bringing down tho
count from 84.1C9 to 12,690 and raising
tho score from 80.60 to 91.65. Tho
figures for Portland, Oreg., changed
from 148,490 to 13,970 nnd from 7G.19
to 92.52. Tho number of bacteria in a
cubic centimeter of Seattle milk was
brought from 64,124 down to 31,297,
and the score wns lifted from 80.50 to
88.24.
A milk dealer docs not like to bo
surprised with dirty milk on his
wagons, especially when tho results of
tho tests aro to bo published In the
local papers. "When his scoro goes up
ho finds tho number of his customers
going up; when tho bacterial count
increases ho finds on increase In the
number of ox-customers.
Chickens aro dying all ovor tho
stato from lack of ventilation In hen
houses, llco and mites, and insuffi
cient qunnltics of water, according to
observations mndo by tho poultry
specialists of tho Agricultural Col
lege. Unfortunately the prevailing
idea is thnt hens must bo kept warm
in winter time. In order to accomplish
this hen houses aro closed up air
tight, and when summer comes, folks
are too busy to add tho needed venti
lation. If hen houses wero construct
ed so that in Bummer timo practically
two-thirds of tho south exposure could
bo opened nnd In wlnior time have
one-third muslin front, n great doal
of loss and sufforlng could bo avoided.
Llco and mites aro especially nctivo
this summer becauso of the intenso
heat which has existed for tho great
er part of tho summer. Vermin thrive
in hot weather. Llco can bo controlled
by tho uso of Sodium Fluoride applied
to the hen by tho "pinch" method.
Mites livo In tho cracks, filth nnd
under tho roosts of tho hen house.
They crawl upon tho birds at night,
and suck tho blood from them. There
fore, It is necessary for ono to spray
the hen houso thoroly with some sub
stanco which will kill them In their
home. A very good spray is composed
of ono gallon koreosenc, ono gallon
waste cylinder oil, and onc-hnlf pint
of Bomo good stock dip. At this timo of
tho year, a hen needs enormous quan
tities of water to keep down tho body
tomporature. A poultry specialist
from tho Agricultural College found
ono flock of hens dying, apparently
from starvation. It was found thnt tho
blood was so thick from tho nbsenco
of water that it would scarcely run.
A healthy hen will consume from one
half to ono and one-half pints of water
in a day. Keep plenty of fresh wnter
boforo chickens at all times.
Como in and sco our now oar-drops.
