Farmers in Douglas county have until Feb ruary 2tt to make application for crop insurance on their spring seeded ' wheat, according to .1. Roland Parker, county ngrieul tural agent. Premiums for tho Insurance are based upon the his tory of possible losses on each individual farm., Tho premiums may be paid in cash.

Oregon has consistently had a high percentage of rural homes served with electricity, and many of those wired years ago could modernize their existing lighting systems without much expense, to provide better light with loss glare, says Miss Lutz. Recent fig ures show that about 42,000 of the ! 65,000 farms In the state have electric service. Of this number, approximately 4700 have been added by the eight REA financed systems. To answer the increasing re- quests for information on rural I home lighting the extension serv ice issued ounetin ino. ml some time ago, entitled "Better Farm and Home Lighting." About the same time the United States de partment of agriculture publish ed Farmers' Bulletin 183S-F, "Electric Light lor the Farm- stead. ' Either of those may be had free by Oregon citizens. Light specialists now recom mend much more light and better distributed light in homes than they did formerly. It Is well for the eyes, they say, if all light in a room is well diffused with a minimum of glare and with no sharp contrast betwen lighted ob jects and their backgrounds. I Ceiling fixtures In which bare bulbs are used may be converted j into fixtures giving diffused light by covering the bulbs with indi vidual shades or by using a dif fusing bowl, Miss Lutz points out. Methods of making these changes switches. Double or treble outlets in the living room increase the number of table and floor lamps the family can use, and such out lets in bedrooms are equally con venient for bedside lights and lamps attached to the head of "the bed.

Morgan was arrested for selling short weight bacon. Complains have been received by the department .from time to tions, but as a general thing the a. persons who report having been bilked fail to obtain the informa tion which would make it pos sible for the department to iden tify the offender. Some complain ants have reported purchasing bacon at the door which they la ter discovered wcigneo as muen as two or three pounds less than the peddler claimed. Department officials suggest that where consumers make pur chases from strangers wjio pose ns reputable farmers that they make it a point to note the li cense number of the car used by the peddler. Weed Spraying on Stand of Fescue to Be Tried SALEM The use of a selective I weed spray on a stand of chew lings fescue , this season is being I planned on the C. & W.

It is believed that a hop sprayer can be equipped w ith a side boom for applying the spray. A mixture of ammonium sulphate and a now chemical call ed Sinox has been found effective in killing annual weeds or vetch in grass or grain stands In field tests carried on by the experiment staliun. , William Craig Makes Solo Flight No. 1 at U. of O.

WILLIAMS BAKERY Eugene, Oregon r, - a .i lai 1 ' i rUM Tall Fescue Grass Finally Prbyf sits Value for Pasture Tall lescuc grass is by no means a new grass in Oregon, but the extent of its possibilities for forage in this state is only now becoming fully appreciated, according to farm crops special ists at Oregon State college, who have been watching the perform ance of this grass throughout the state. Tall fescue is now being grown for seed purposes, for pasture use, particularly by sheep, and is even cut at times for hay because it produces a rank leafy growth which makes hay that compares favorably with that made from other grasses. . Probably the oldest seeding of tall fescue in Oregon is on the central experiment station farm at Corvallis. This seeding is now in its twenty-second year of , efowth and during this entire pe 1 HnH it h3c ho on a func.iel,vnt nvn riod it has been a consistent pro ducer of forage and seed. Tall fescue is . a development from meadow fescue but is a larg er and more vigorous plant than its parents. It is extremely long lived and has a wide range of adaptability, being able to grow on a wide variety of soils and un- dor practically any climatic con ditions prevailing in western Oregon. , . , When it was first introduced as a pasture grass many stockmen thought that, because of its coarse growth, it would be unsatisfac tory for sheep pasture. In recent years, however, some sheepmen in the state have obtained a phc nominal amount of pasture from it, and find it particularly valu able for late fall and winter graz ing. Its ability to remain green and produce forage in the late summer and fall months can be attributed to its deep root sys-1 tern, according to the agrono-1 mists1."'.1 "rrrfr- Tall fescue is also proving val-j uablc on logged off land and it is being used successfully in irri-1 gated pastures in combination j with other grasses and legumes. Improved seed producing strains j have been introduced in the state 1 by tho experiment station, so j that now fairly large supplies are j available tor planting by farmers and stockmen. , , . i .

And a few years before that, we considered 60 or 70 eggs a year as better than average production. As we Improved our feeding and breeding programs, our pro duction stepped up, until we had to make egg mash to fill the requirements ol heavier produc tion. Even with what we thought was a good egg mash, we en countered difficulties, until we discovered that a good egg mash required vitamins, as well as minerals and proteins. So we stepped up our. vita mins, and had much better re sulls. Then we found that even with added vitamins, wo could get good production, but many times the eggs wouldn't hatoh. In other words a hen or turkey could get enough elements out of a good egg mash like Ump qua, or Sunrise -to lay. a fine mess of eggs,- and not . deplete her system, but didn't have enough of these precious vita-1 mins to store In those eggs to give the chick or poult vitality , enough to get out of the egg, and get a good start In lite. This we call a "carry-over." The next logical step was to add even more vitamins, in or der to keep the breeder hen In good condition, and provide a carry-over for the embryo. The answer was Breeder's Mash, and Umpqua Brooder's Mash has given us everything we could expect. In order to furnish those es sential vitamins for hatching and a rapid start we Include in Umpqua Breeder's Mash double amounts of Nopcn XX Cod I.ivor Oil. plenty of PEHYPKATED alfalfa dried milk, nnd liver meal.

It threatened California's state ly Monterey cypress, its chief host, and so badly infected the Pacific northwest's nursery stocks of Oriental Arborvitae which are ornamental trees that they were unfit for sale despite the clamoring of gardeners. The disease recently , was re ported by J. A. Milbrath of the Oregon State college botany de partment as an "undescribed fol iage blight," known locally as Berekman blight. After experimenting, he said it could be satisfactorily controlled by one application of red copper oxide or basic copper sulphate. Milbrath warned gardeners i however, that to be effective it! must be applied before infec tions are initiated and spread by early fall rains. Milbrath said the disease is ; i characterized by blighting of j small branches, causing them to turn reddish-brown. Limits of in fection are indicated by girdling of larger branchlets. Small branchlets fall from the plants, leaving a tangle of dead gray stems. Infected foliage also turns light gray and reinfection continues until the plant dies. Plants sprayed before fall rains will be cured by one application, since the fungus Is not systemic and depends upon new infections each year for survival. -yWmm mm Full Pressure Lubrication RcgjrJIc of working position... g . . whether going upl.ill.downhill or ok ,Siii JJ : icchills,..all vital moving part of tiic "Caterpillar" Diesel Tractor En '0isk 8'nc arc protected by positive, full .V.:.!'

During the fall and win tor season when calves do not have access to much sunlight, a good quality sun-cured hay should Ik- fed.
