TWO ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGOM, MONDAY, APRIL 28, 1941 : Eggs Increase to i Be Asked to Meet I ll'S. Food Policy ; ii J. iti' ' A nation-wide drive to produce every c-eb possible from laying Iloeks this spring hiis just been I announced at" Washington, P. C, as a part of the program to in- crease the production of certain Z concentrated foods while? holding down the output of staple export corps such, as wheut, cotton, and tobacco. The program fits In well with ' the suggestions made throughout Oregon this spring by poultry " specialists, at Oregon State' col lege! who recommended that egg producers hold their flocks to the maximum of present housing fa cilities,' and that ample- feed he used to Insure maximum produc tion. Neither the national not state situation, however, war rants expansion in permanent new housing, according to Secre tary of Agriculture' Claud Wick- ard and the Oregon poultry 'spe cialists. . -. ' Eggs have been Includeil among "a few foods such as dairy prod ' nets, pork, and chickens lor meat, the production of which Is to be encouraged' for' the next two years. These foods will be needed in increased amounts in this country as industrial payrolls are stepped up, and they are the eas iest foods. to export under the present program of American aid to nations resisting aggression. Wheat Superior For Feed While corn Is the feed ex-peeled 'to be used in greatest volume in carrying ' out - this program, wheat will receive' the benefit throughout the western stales particularly. Research carried on at Oregon State college In the last few years has ; shown that wheat Is a suitable and even su perior feed grain for all types of livestock. It already forms . tlu chief ingredient of Oregon poul try fowls and the proportion of wheat can be increased whenever It is cheaper (ban other ("lains, according to tests made at O. S. C. The surplus marketing admin istration has arranged to support the market on the types of food mentioned in order to maintain prices profitable to the producers.

Poison grain, barley, has been prepared by the county agent in cooperation with the U. S. fish and wildlife service and Is made available to residents of the county at cost through local feed and community stores. The poison grain Is made to be parti cularly effective in the control of ground squirrels and not attrac tive to other types of wildlife in cluding game birds. The most effective control of the ground squirrel can be se cured by baiting holes, runways, and infested areas early in the spring before the grain and fruit crops begin to reach maturity. Only a small quantity is needed either in tho runways, holes, or about infested areas. Every adult ground squirrel destroyed before the breeding season begins means the elimination of threo to four squirrels later on in the season. - Control of ground squirrels through the use of poison grains late, in the summer or early fall is not as effective as when simi lar measures are taken earlier In the spring. However, . as the ground squirrels migrate from the hills as the native vegetation beings to dry up with the sum mer months It Is necessary to bait the areas around crop land and orchards at frequent inter vals. Any farmer who will follow such a procedure will con'rol ground squirrels effectively. ; Livestock Scales On ! Trailer Given 4-H Unir CORVALLIS, April 28.

Milk and Cream Trucks Must Be Covered Th season of the year is at hand when creamery operators and dairymen who haul their own milk and cream should give care ful attention to coverage of the (ruck used for this purpose. The state department of agriculture dairy division warns that it will require full compliance with the state regulation covering this matter. Several types of coverage are practical. The department makes no specific requirement as to type of covering. Officials feel, how ever, that canvas alone is not suf ficient and that a padded cover ing should be used if the truck does not have a permanent top. It is essential that covering af ford protection from the sun's rays as well as from dust and dirt. BUYS REGISTERED JERSEY A registered Jersey cow has been purchased by P. H.
