T i TWO ROSEBURG NEWS-REViEW, ROSEBUffG, OREGOk MONDAY, APRIL 21, 1941. Botulism Equally Fatal lo Poultry Any spoiled canned foods which are even suspected of containing the botulism organisms are best eompletcjy destroyed or burled because they are Just as poison ous to chickens as to man, say3 G. V. Copson, head of the bac teriology department of Oregon .stale college. Whole flocks of chickens have been desl toyed by feeding spoiled corn or beans to them, causing (lie disease com monly called limbcrneck, which is In reality botulism. "Since the same germ-, causes . botulism in man and limbcrneck In fowls, it is .highly dangerous to feed spoiled vegetables to chick ens," says Copson. "Furthermore, any chance appearance of Urn berneck in chickens Is n warning to be on the lookout for spoilage in home canned vegetables, 'I he only safe way to be, certain of avoiding botulism poisoning is to mukc sure that; nil home canned vegetables. are boiled for 2(1 min utes before being tasted, and on the day they are lo be consumed." fn fowls botulism produces a genera) intoxication by which the muscles become progressively pandyzed, Copson explained. First there Is a paralysis of the leg and neck muscles, followed by a slopping 01 tne heart. In a re cent test conducted nt the col lege u bantam hen fed canned corn inoculated with laboratory cultures of the botulism organism developed limbcrneck In 24 hours and died In two days.

Bull Snalte Worth Si 50 Annually to Farmer NKW YORK ( API The Bronx zoo has an exhibition' to prove that snakes are a friend to man.

Federal surveys place a S5 value on the head of a rat. iThe amount of damage a rat can do.) Further, young snakes cat in sects which damage crops. (inly 20 species of I3."i snakes in this country are poisonous, according to Raymond 1 Dit mars, curator of reptiles, and most of the harmful ones arc on deserts and wastelands.

Powers, head of the soils department at Oregon State col lege, reports alfalfa as being a good Indicator as to the produc tivity of soils. Alfalfa is fre quently a valuable index crop to show the production value of Irri gated land. A rule made and useful, according to Powers, is that water right land and the land prepared to receive water, on the alfalfa basis, will support a production valuation on the or der of S25 to S30 per ton of annual yield. On this basis land that pro duces four tons per acre will sup ply a valuation of $100 to $120 per acre.. Another useful rule found is that alfalfa land can pay the to tal water charge of one dollar per ton per acre. This means that land producing five tons per acre would have a total land charge of five dollars which would cover all construction costs, payments, and operation and maintenance costs. Alfalfa yield is an indicator of natural soil fertility and grow ing climate, a legume and valu able forage plant that may usually be used with livestock enterprises whereby soil fertility may be eco nomically maintained. King Of Douglas Firs Discovered ASTORIA, Ore., April 21. I API-About the time Charles Martel was standing off the Saracens at Tours, a Douglas fir cone was sending thirsty roots Into the soggy soil of an un known Pacific wilderness. Les D. Lloyd, a pulp company forester, found the tree and pro claimed it the biggest Douglas fir in the Pacific northwest. He estimated its age at 1200 years, found it measured 15J feet in dia meter 45 feet from the ground and was 210 feet high to its broken top, which Is 2 feet in diameter. Lloyd, whose hobby Is hunting big trees, said all the information he could find indicated the tree, w hich stands near the coast high way in Clatsop county's fog belt, Is the biggest known Douglas fir tree standing. Lioyu saici nc would sponsor i formation of a state park around ' the immense conifer, whose first' I limb is 108 feet off the eronnd. to save It from the fuller's axe.

(API Oregon State dominated tracks events here Saturday and downed the University of Oregon in the annual relay meet, 5 to 3. Aided by the touted Les Steers, Oregon won the shotput and high jump relays, but could capture only the mile relay in the run ning events. Oregon State chalk ed up firsts in the 410, 880, two mile, four-mile and shuttle hurdle relays. Oregon established a new meet record of 24 feet, 9 inches in the high jump with Steers' 6 feet, 7 inches the best performance of the-day.

Published So Long With this issue, "The Kcetl ling" will be discontinued for another season. W'e hope you !iave deriverl some benefit from it, and that it has convinced you that you should continue using l-mpqua and Sunrise feeds, the feeds that set the pace in Doug las county, as to price, economy and best results. Coxey and Blackhead As we have told vou before, we have a feed for everything on the farm. The list includes "lutein" Mash for the control of Lilackhead and Coccldiosis. There are doens of "cures" for these diseases on the mar ket. We have tried a number ol them, and watched results from a number of others, and haven't seen one yet that does mil do lcnd for results on the sanitarv program that is included with the medicine. In fact, with most of them, the sanitation, without the medicine would lie just as satisfactory, and less expensive. Not so with "lutein" Mash. Annul eight years ago we tried this feed for the first time, and have had VKKY I"KV disap pointments. In most cases, the reduced mortality and immedi ate improvement in the flocks treated has been nothing short of miraculous. Many of our customers now fi-ed "lutein" at the first symp torn of Coxey or Blackhead! and thereby avoid any loss at all. We do not think it has an equal in.-in 1 1 in uie worm, anu tne only place in this part ol the world you can buv it is at the Inniglas Flour Mill. Anv time nu MisKvt either of these two dirad diseases, let us tell vou about lutein; or belter yet, feed It. and save your birds.

We have written most of the breeders west of the Hockios that might have females for sale. The answer always comes back, "Nothing for Sale." So. in desperation, we sent several inquiries to the Central West, I where herds are numer ous, and some have several hundred head). Replies so far give us high hopes, so far as price and quantity are concern ed. But the freight rate will be an important factor. As "like produces like." we will insist on RKCOI'.ns. as well as individuals. Ion't judge the breed by heresay. or by scrubs, but see our two heifers i CJreen, or any of the numerous bulls we have placed. In the meantime, don't ne glect your present "Rossie." as she requires plenty of good feed and water, in addition to the good grass she is now getting. I'mpqua or Sunrise Dairy feed, fed now, will show results all summer long. Remember, it is much easier to "keep them up," than to ' bring them back." Water For Cows Research has prnved that cows having water in drinking cups available at all times pro duced 10.7': more hutterfat than cows watered twice dailv. i wry cows need water in pro portion lo production.
