Cattle Fattened
Profitably With
Wheat and Clover
The use of wheat as n Iced for
fattening cattle with irrigated
pasture is proving practical on a
number of farms in Oregon, and
it is shown by demonstration fig
ures to be an economical method
of producing beef. The results of
such a feeding tost are Included
in an experiment station bulletin
entltlod "Surplus Wheat, Feeding
Experiments in Oregon," issued
at Oregon State college.
In tests carried on last sum
mer It was found that wheat fed
to cattle on irrigated ludino clev
er pasture gave results equal to.
or better than those obtained a
year curlier whom barley Jvas us
ed as' a grain supplement. The
test was made, by using twelve
head of beef calves pastured as
two groups on the same are-.
Seven head were fattened first,
followed by five later, vrilp the re
sult that the pasture supported
almost exactly three animals, per
acre during the 190-day feeding
period.
- It was found that ait !avor,lgo
feeding of 3.76 pounds of wheat
per head per day gave' with' the
pasture an average gain per head
of 15C.91 pounds or an average
daily gain per head of 1.05
pounds. Of the total gains . on
wheat and pasture amounting to
1041.5 pounds per acrq of pasture,
646,19 pounds were credited to
'the Ipnldo clover und 395.13, 'to
'the wheat.'. : f-i M , .-, .' ' J

Wheat Growers Sure to
Vote on Market Quotas
. COIIVUXIS, March 24. AP)
,- N. E. Dodd, Washington, I). C,
western AAA director, indicated
to the state AAA committee that
a vote this spring on marketing
quotas for wheat is a foregone
conclusion.
Heavy carryover plus excellent
crop prospects will create such a
QMS)
In a school full of bright, self-respecting
students, there are very likely to be
one or two completely lacking in good
common sense. And that Rocs for busi
ness, too. ..particularly the beer retail
ing business.
Out of thousands of beer retailers
who conduct respectuble, law-abiding
businesses, ther maybe a few"dunce"
retailers who disbboy the law or per
mit anti-soda conditions.
These few unwanted reUulers are a
menace to the future of the beer in
dustry, ..and also of the benefits beer
has mads possible. Ruin here in
Oregon, beer provides employment

IS THAT VOUR AC-

quotas will be Inevitable, ho aug

endum has already been set for
Mhv 31. If the vote Is called for
and Is approved by growers in
the country as a whole, the pres
ent loan program will continue.
If quotas are .rejected, on the oth

grower producing 200 bushels or
more comes under the quota pro
visions and has a vole In any ref

considering nn amendment
which would set the dividing line
at 15 acres of wheat produced.
This would greatly reduce the
number of voters.

Botulism Found
Fatal to Poultry
Any spoiled canned foods which
are even suspected of containing
the botulism organisms are best
completely destroyed or buried
because they are just as poison
ous to chickens as to man, .says
Q.'C. Copson, head, of tbe.'bac
terlology department at Oregon
State college. Whole flocks of
chickens have been destroyed by
feeding spoiled corn or beans to
them, causing the disease com
monly called llmberneck, which
is In reality botulism. t-
"Since the same germ causes
botulism in man and llmberneck
In fowls, It is highly dangerous to
feed sxiled vegetables to chick
ens," says Copson. "Furthermore,
any chance appearance Of llm
berneck In chickens Is a warning
to be on the lookout for spoilage
in home canned vegetables. The
only safe way to be certain of
avoiding botulism poisoning is to
make sure that all home canned
vegetables are boiled for 20 min
utes before being tasted, and on
the day they are to be con
sumed." t
In fowls botulism produces a
general intoxication by which the
muscles become progressively pa
ralyzed, Copson explained. First
there is a paralysis of the leg and
neck muscles, followed by a stop
ping of the heart. In a recent
test conducted at the college a
bantam hen fed canned corn In
oculated with laboratory cultures
of the botulism organism develop
ed llmberneck in 21 hours and
died in two days.
Wide Interest Shown in
Spray for Annual Weeds ,
Keen Interest has developed

late, and common ammonium
sulfate has brought a flood of in

information.
The yellow dye is manufactured
by only one company and Is sold
under the common name of si-

Girls in Clothes
Making Contest
Mothers, aunts and grand
mothers all remember the ad
age about a stitch at the right
time. Well, If s gone modern and
this is the new version: "Sew,
crochet and knit to look one's
best and fit." And that's what
4-H club girls in Oregon will be
doing in a brand new activity
the national 4-H clothing achieve
ment competition, to be directed
by the extension service.
The new program promises to
keep the girls keyed up with high
interest, as it teaches them to
coordinate skill and art in design
ing, cutting and sewing garments
through use of the very latest
practices. It also helps them to
dress appropriately and healthful
ly within the family budget, and
to encourage making wearing ap
parel by crocheting, knitting and
other needlecraft arts.
The girls also will be given
credit for making exhibits and
participating in public demonstra
tions of their handiwork, as well
as judging that of others. The
program thereby affords club
sters, in addition to the chance
to win county, state and national
awards provided by the Spool
Cotton company, the opportunity
to earn money through sales and
displays of their work.
County winners will receive
gold medals and each recipient of
state honors will be given an all
expense trip to the National 4-H
club congress in Chicago next
November, to participate in the
finals. Six educational scholar
ships of $200 each will be present
ed to a blue award group com
prising one winner from each
