Some Profit In
Is
Under normal economic condi
tions operators who have ample
brooding equipment and favor
able market; outlets may convert
surnlus lechorn cockerels into a
marketable product nt a small
profit per bird. Such Is the con
clusion reached by representa
tives of, the poultry and agricul
tural. nhglneerlnR departments of
the Oregon experiment; station,
who have been conducting ex
periments on cockerel rearing at
the request ol, yrogon pomiry-
men. .. .
A new bulletin recording, the
results of the experiments and
suggesting the ' most practical
methods yet found for handling
cockerels has Just- been Issued,
written by W. Tl Cooney and V.
E: Price. This bulletin, No. 38G,
is called "Surplus Leghorn. Cock
erels as Broilers." ' i
One of the results of the ex
periment whs the ' development
of an O. S. C. broiler ration; Be
cause Oregon produces a surplus
of grain as well as a surplus' of
leghorn ' day-old cockerels, at
tempt was made to produce a sat
isfactory ration which would con
sist largely of bulk grains which
would be fed separately at less
cost than where all-mash feeds
were used. ' ;' f
An O. S.. C. broiler ninsh was
developed w hich consists of a re
latively fast growing ration con
taining nn efficient balance of
quality proteins that would per
mit the fpeding ' of liberal
amounts' of lower priced grains.
It was found that, the best ration
is the most efficient growing
rather' than a fattening on.
Tests were made with rearing
broilers In batteries as well as on
floors. The battery-reared leg-'
horn broilers were approximate
ly a week ahead of the floor-reared
birds' a eight weeks, and the
hattery-renred Rhode Island Reds
made more efficient gains than
the leghorns for the same per

$470,249.93 was collected In 1938
for fire protection purposes in
Oregon, This fund was collected
from "tax roll!' lands, from mem

Wool Growers Assured
Protection in ploJh Buy
WASHINGTON, April 14.
(API Donald M. Nelson, defense
director, of purchases, said that
his office would confer with wool
growers' representatives and
agree with them "on a method of
determining a fair price for do
mestic wool" when bids are asked
on cloth.
"The growers have felt that if
the government places its orders
after the wool clip has been mar
keted," Nelson said, "the grower
does not get the benefit he should
from the government program, i
think their position is fair and j
we intend to do everything we
can to help the domestic wool
grower know how much and
.when the government Is going to
buy."
In addition to seeking determi
nation of a fair price for domestic
wool, Nelson said the government
would discuss with growers the
riiffpi-nntlal hntwppn foreien and
domestic wool in an effort to find
a level which would mean "a fair 1
and reasonable price" to the do- j
mestic grower.
Fruit, Vegetable Packing

FRESNO, Calif,, April 19.
(AP) -An inspection of all fresh
fruitand vegetable packing plants
in the west, to insure compliance
with federal wage and hour pro
vision for workers, will be under
taken immediately.
Wesley, O. Ash of San Fran
cisco, regional director oi ine
wage-hour division of the depart
ment of labor, maae me an
nouncement here.
The drive will take In Califor
nia, Oregon, Washington and Ari
zona. Plants confining their op
erations to dried fruits or dehy
drated, fruit, packing will not be
Inspected.
A' minimum of 30 cents an hour
was established in the wage-hour
act. Ash said the violations his
insDectors expect to find will be
on the part of those who deliber
ately seek to evade tne law, oi
approximate this effect through
careless indifference."

Broiler Rations
We hear a lot these days
ibout "Broiler nations, and
how efficient they are In produc
ing quick and cheap gains on
flyers and broiler chicks. Sev-
rat iced companies hit mtiKin-;
broiler rations, and they are
selling at pretty high prices. So
far. the Douglas (jointly rimir
Mill lias not slocked nn exclu
sive broiler ration, hut when,
and If, they do prove to be bet
ter ami more economical, we
will make one that will com
pare with the best on the mar
ket anil nl the usual savini! over
the price of other good brands
of feed.
For anvone interested In pro
ducing broilers and fryers, we
would advise tnem getting u.
bulletin No. :tSti, which dis
cusses work done at the State
I0ner ment Station on Broiler
Halion compared to Chick
Stai ler Mash.
We have lust none over this
bulletin carefully, compared
their formulas with ours, and
noted the gains they have ob
tained. After a careful check,
we have decided that Umpqua
Chick Starter with scratch is
still the cheapest and Ik'sI feed
ing method for broiler or fryer
product ion.
The Stale Station recom
mends feeding either the Broiler
itation or Chick Starter with
grain and grit fed free choice
after the first week. They find
that chicks will eat altout two
(Kilts mash to one scratch,
thereby lowering the cost of
gains 'compared with straight
mush. We have found that sys
tem to be Im-sI also.
C.rnwers using Umpqua Chick
Starter and Scratch have had ns
good, and in many cases belter
gains than those reported III the
Station Bulletin, and from fig
ures which thev have shown us.
we KNOW thev are getting
some NET lMlOI-TT fivm our
system.
If you have not already, be
sure to stall your next bunch of
broilers on the tried and true
Umpqua Chick Starter, with free
choice of that fine clean Ump
qua chick scratch.
Cow Tales
Many cows are freshening
(hese dajs, and it Is interesting
to guess, by the flesh they carry,
how long they will be able to
keep filling the milk pail twice
dally. The ones receiving no
grain, or a deficient ration are
showing it already by promin
ent ribs and high hip hones. And
(list as soon as the lush grass Is
cleaned up. their production will
fade with the pasture. Hasn't It
always?
As concrete evidence, we of
fer the herd of Dr. Stewart,
which has been assembled from
here and there; but by feeding
his cows plenty of grain, (OK
Chop, if you please), and green
reed, they are coming out near
the top of my tested "heap."
We quote a Malheur dairy
man: "1 do not believe that
grain feeding the year around
can be Judged In dollars and
cents return. Its advantages Ho
chiefly In the ability of grain to
replace food value in hay of
questionable quality, builds a
stronger nnd more vigorous
constitution, better and stronger
calves, that will eventually
make better producing cows."
Why not put the svstem In
force on your ranch. NOW?
Overhead of Cows
The overhead expense of
maintaining a dairy herd Is
much higher than it should be.
Of .'15 million daily cows In the
U. S., one third do not pay for
their feed, one third barely
does, and the other third make
the farmer a profit.
That means the average farm
er raises three heifers to pro
ducing age, to get one good cow.
Roughly, it costs S75.0O to bring
a heifer into milk production.
That means the AVERAGE
cost ol raising a good cow is
$L'25.00.
You, nor nobody else, can af
ford that, when by better breed
ing, and good feeding, you can
do the same thing for barely
more than one third the cost.
Get a good bull, test the cows,
and feed PLENTY of Umpqua
and Sunrise Dairy Feeds.
Milk, Meat, Fish and Liver
All these things are mighty
good for chickens and turkeys.
They all cost a lot of money.
Many feeds do not contain more
than' two of these Items, and
only the best have all four. The
combination of all four is much
hotter than two or three, and
liver meal especially, is one of
the best ingredients that can be
Included In feeds for chickens
and turkeys.
Umpqua Breeder's Mash and
ALL Umpqua Starter and De
veloping -Mashes, whether for
chicks or poults, contain all four
of these important animal pro
tein elements in the proper pro
portion for the best growth and
ilevelonment of vour birds.
In tact. In the manufacture of
ALL Umpqua and sunrise icons,
the cost of the inL'redlents is
not considered. The formulas
are made tin nronerlv. as a first
consideration. Then, the cost Is
computed, nnd they are sold at
the lowest flL'iire nosslble. Re
sults reported by hundreds of
well satisfied customers prove
to us that YOU profit through
our policy or "quality first.
