More - than HOO; different fur farms arc now operating in Ore Ron. '' ' Most i of the recent develop ment in raising lurbearlng uni mals in captivity lias come through the expansion of the mink Industry in the lower Col umbia and coast counties. Many mink farms are also now found in the Willamette valley and sev eral large units are located In eastern Oregon. Silver fox opera tions, on the other hand, have been curtailed to- some extent during the past five years, Prices for the two most Import ant products, mink and fox pells, declined between lft'lti and 1930 but Improved In 19-10. Haneh raised mink pelts taken last sea son brought Oregon farmers an average of about $12 each com- j pared to $9.60 In 1H39 and $!!) each In 1!3fi. Silver fox pelt prices In 13-10 were about 20 per cent above the 19.TO average of S2( each after declining from $40 in VJ3H. Imports of mink pells have been large and arc Increasing hut exports declined last year. Returns from Oregon's ranch raised mink are only about one tnnth the value of Imports. Near ly 1")0,000 silver fox pelts valued at two and one-halt million dol lars came into this country (lur ing the 1939-19-10 season but im ports are now on a quota basis. newer fur-hearers on Oregon arms.

Jackson Bt Phone S20 Timday, Wednesday Dairy Cow 'Waste Holds $30 Value The fertilizer output of every dairy cow on the farm would ap proximate a value of $30 per year i if all the nitrogen, phosphorus, potash, and sulphur contained in manure were saved and returned to the soil, according to Arthur S. King, extension specialist in soils at Oregon State college. The best way to insure the con servation of this value Is to build and use a liquid manure tank, according to King. The construc tion and use of such tanks, either of wood or concrete, are describ ed by King in a new extension circular, No. 368. Not only does the liquid man ure tank conserve the fertilizing values, but, if properly handled, it greatly reduces the work on a dairy farm, he says. If only limited amounts of bedding are used, all of the manure can be handled through such a tank, while otherwise part of It can be placed under a shed with drain age into the tank. Where flood irrigation is used on dairy pastures, labor can be still further reduced by arrang ing to run the liquid manure from the tank into an irrigation ditch where it il spread on the land with the water.
