' 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.
Average levels aimed at are cgus,

Eradicate Ground
,it jit,, i v, I
Digger squirrels, or ground
squirrels, cause considerable dam
age to grain and fruits In all sec
tions of the county, and can be
easily controlled if proper meas
ures are taken early in the sea
son. 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.

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

Farm Population
lipped in Oregon
In Last Decade
'i, if -'vi
WASHINGTON, April 23.
(AP) Total farm population in
Oregon has increased by 1G.1 per
cent since 1930 but preliminary
estimates for the country as a
whole show an increase of only
one-tenth of one per cent, the
census bureau said.
Connecticut showed the largest I
increase 19.8 per cent and South
Dakota the greatest decrease
21.1 per cent.
The total farm population of
Oregon was 259,638 in 1940. In
1930 it was 223,607.
Other preliminary census esti
mates today showed Oregon has
108 males for each 100 females.
Total 1940 male population was
estimated at 565,864 and female
at 523,820.
The white population was plac
ed at 557,214 males and 518,086 fe
males. In 1930 the state had 490,
479 male whites and 448,118 fe
males. The non-white population for
1940 was estimated at 8,650 males
and 5,734 females.
Another preliminary analysis
showed that the state had 49572
males and 43,063 females 65 years
of age or over. The total number
of persons of this age in Oregon
incerased 37.6 per cent since 1910.
Tar Weed Seeds Found

Screenings which contain a
considerable amount of tar weed
seeds should not be fed to swine,
