Although coose feather arc much better for pillows than the feathers of turkeys, ducks, or chiek ens, the latter can be used If the fowl has been dry picked or clean ed, hut scalding injures the quality of tbu feathers, Mrs. Iluxton says, ticcso may be plucked aw often as every six weoks through the spring, summer, fall and winter, up to the muting season. Care Is necessary, however, with feathers obtained In this manner to see that they are- of the proper rlpenoHH, which means that this quills appear dry and do not contain blood. In pluckliiK tho entire plumage of a fowl, the tall and wing feathers are removed first. These are of no vulile for feathers to bo used 111 pillows. The aminonla content of wot feathers causes them to do- lerlonilo rapidly. Dirty or bloody feathers may bo sprayed witli water .mid llio moisture then extracted by iiqiiuo7,liiK or putting through a wringer, fli-Ht. putting the feathers in a muslin bug. 'iiey .ure then -dried thoroughly in a wiirurphico', 'with an occasional slinking. A warm, breezy day Is best, keeping the feathers In tho shade most of llio time. .

WASIIINUTON, June 0 (Al'l A recent survey disclosed that 3,000 Oregon working people were providing themselves with saving and borrowing rncilitles linder their own federally chartered cred it unions. The study was made by C. R. Orchard, bend of the credit soc tion of the farm credit administra tion, which adniinisiers the credit union act. iJruwlng only on the spare dimes und dollai-H of members' savings lor their capital, federal credit unions in Oregon have built up assets totaling S1IG.0UU," Orch ard said. Kach union maintains its own revolving loan fund out of which it extends credit to Its members at an Interest rate of one per cent or less per mouth. "The showing made by Oregon's credit unions is Immensely grati fying," Orchard said. "In a period of less than four years they have made small loans to their luoill hers amounting all told to more than $2:tti,UU0, "Averaging SOS In size and re payable la Installments covering many jiioiilbs. these loans have gone far toward solving the credit problems of the low-income bor rowers and keeping iheni out of the hands of grasping usurpers. Approximately 2,100 loans have been made In Oregon since Ihe first federal credit union began business there." lie said dividends last year to shareholders the depositors amounted lo $2,500. ranging up to li per cent.

In 1M7, for tho first . tinio in eight years, farmem' gross Income including government payments, exceeded $10,000,000,00, according to ealimates released by the bu reau of agricultural economics. Kor the calendar year of 1937, the gross farm Income from miles of farm products, value of tar in products held lor home consump tion, and government payments to farmers, was estimated at $10,00.1, 000,000, Last year's Income com pares with 59.317,000,000 in 1!W6 and with ihe low point of 5,2M, 000,000 In 1932. Most of the increase In gross gross farm income in 1937 over 1936 was attributed to the larger income from, crops and govern ment payments. Total income from 8 major farm crops increased from 93.004,000,000 in 1936 to S4.33S, 000,000 in 1937, a gain of 11 per cent. Gross income from livestock and livestock products increased 3 per cent, from J5,126,00o.000 in 1930, to J5,29S.000,000 in 1937. Gov ernment pnyments last year amounted to 8367,000,000 compar ed with $287,000,000 in 1!36. Greatest Income ' gains during the year were recorded for wheat, tobacco and fruits. Gross Income from wheat in 1937 was til per cent higher than in 1936. Income from tobacco increased 32 per cent, and from nil fruits 20 per cent over 1936. A 20 per cent in crease In the value of products contributing to farm family living lrom I arm gardens also aided in swelling the 1937 total. A few rops returned less last year than in 1936. The more important crops showing decreases were cotton and cottonseed, potatoes, corn, barley, peanuts and sugar beets. The !t per cent increase in in come from livestock ami nvestoc-K productH resulted from the larger income from cattle and calves, sheep and lambs, chickens and eggs, milk, and wool and mohair. Increases from these items of live stock production more than offset the smaller Income from hogs, horses and mules. ,. Plans for Oregon's participation in tho Seventh World Poultry con gress and exposition next year are progressing steadily, according to reports made by members of the Oregon committee at their latest meeting in Salem June 1. The World's Poultry congress, probably the largest international agricultural gathering, has been held every three years since 1921, the coming congress being the first to be belli in the United States. The world-wide nature of tho congress Is indicated by tho fact thai, (Secretary of State Cordell Hull, lias Issued rormal invitations to 61 nations to attend and partici pate in the congress., before Au gust 1 of this year personal visits will he made to some 40 countries by representatives of the congress.
