States.
March Weather
Here Showed No
Fresh Extremes
Weather for the montli of
March was far above the norm
al in average daily temperature,
although no new extremes in any
department were recorded, ac
cording to J. C. McCallister, in
charge of the local office of the
U. S. weather bureau, who has
compiled the summary of weath
er statistics for the past month.
ne average daily tempera
ture was 5.5 degrees above the
normal, while the highest tern-
, ueramre was 76 dpgrees and the
luncat i eaumg was uegrecs,
as compared with record ex
tremes of 85 and 18 degrees.
Since the first of January the
temperature records show daily
temperatures to be 4.8 degrees
above the normal mark.
March also was below normal
In rainfall, total precipitation be
ing only 1.08 inches as compar
ed with a normal of 3.28 Inches.
This light rainfall, however, set
no new record, as there have
been several years in which the
month of March brought less
than an inch of rain. The least
rainfall was in March, 1926,
1 when records show only .06 of
Inn inch of precipitation.
I There were 9 clear days, 7
partly cloudy and 11 with meas
urable precipitation.
The rainfall deficiency of 2.20
Inches for March brought the to
tal deficiency since Sept. 1, 1940,
to 3.56 inches, and the deficiency
since Jan. 1, 1941, to 5.79 inches.
One unusual feature of the
weather of the past month was
a severe electrical storm on the
29th. It is seldom that thunder
storms occur so early in the season.

raiders now operating in the

FUNNY BUSINESS
Pork Demand Ups
Feeding of Wheat
With hogs at their highest
market level for several years
and prospects of continued rlc
round for pork, Oregon producers
have an opportunity to convert
low-priced wheut into high priced
meat, Judging from the results
obtained In surplus wheat feed
ing experiments at the Oregon
experiment station.
Wheat has been fed lo hogs In
direct comparison with coin and
other feed grains at the station
and has been found Just as valu
able xund for pound. In onn
teat the average amount of feed
required for 100 pounds gain was
369 pounds of coin, and 364
pounds of wheat. Furthermore, it
was found that wheal fed hogs
had firmer carcasses than corn
fed hogs shipped In from the em u
hell, which confirms the oft re
peated opinion of Portland meal
packers that western wheat (al
iened hogs excel in Ibis respect.
The tests carried on recently
bear out previous experiments to
Ihjt offset thnl llie fii'rllnv values
of ground wheat and ground I
corn are equal so far as average
gains with hogs are concerned,
and that western buyers al least
prefer the wheat -fattened ani
mals, say O. S. C. livestock men.

Chubs in Oregon Lake
Eradicated With Poison
BEND, April 3. I API--Tons
of trash fish, principally chubs,
floated to the surface Monday fol
lowing the pir.sonlng of South
Twin lake, Charles A. Lockwood
said today.
The fiOacre lake in the upper
Deschutes basin was cleaned out
with debris root compound spread
in marginal waters and scattered
wilh depth bombs, Lockwood,
game department official in
charge, reported. He termed the
experiment highly successful.
South Twin, which has no out
lei, will remain toxic for about
a week. Restocking with large
trout fingerlings Is planned for
l'.t-l-'.
The suffocating root is harm
less lo humans.
Chubs were Introduced to the
lake by bail fishermen, Lockwood
said, and multiplied rapidly, soon
devouring all natural foods and
virtually exterminating the trout.
The c.oriment was watched
by slate and federal game offi
cials, who said the same methods
might be used in oilier lakes.
