Fur-farming in Oregon hits

Most i of the recent develop

through the expansion of the
mink Industry in the lower Col

mink farms are also now found
in the Willamette valley and sev
eral large units are located In
eastern Oregon. Silver fox opera

been curtailed to- some extent

First figures on the 1941' AAA
farm program disclosed that 2268
farmers In Douglas county have
signed their 1911 farm plan
sheets, signifying their intention
of taking part in this year's pro
gram, B. F. Nichols, chairman of
the county AAA committee, said.
"We believe that we have Indica
tions of better, compliance with
the farm program 'during1 the
coming crop year than ever be
fore," Nichols said. , ,.
Approximately. 92 per cent of
the county's crop land is signed
up under the farnv program,
Nichols pointed out. He believes
that more farmers will plant
within acreage allotments and
will uso soli conserving and soil
building practices in 1941 than in
any previous year.
"Douglas county farmers who
take part In the program coope
rate1 with more than 6,000,000 U.
S. farmers in adjusting their
business to meet their problems,"
the committeeman said; pointing
to the recently announced pro
gram to increase production of
pork, poultry and dairy products,
and canned vegetables to meet
increased domestic and export
needs.- ' i -.
"The new program is a chal
lenge American farmers are glad
to accept, and demonstrates that
the farm program is as capable
of Increasing production as it Is
of controlling it," Nichols com

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.
