FOUR ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 22. 1941 ' 1 Value of Wheat In Lamb Feeding Shown by 4-H'ers The value of wheat In fatten ing lambs was well demonstrated again In the 4H club lamb-fattening contest sponsored by the Eastern Oregon Wheat league, In the opinion of H. A. Llndgren, extension livestock field man, and h. 3. Allen, assistant Btate club leader, who were In active charge of the contest. At the same time the feeding of 324 lambs by 28 different boys and one girl served to show the Im portance ot correct feeding meth-1 ods as well as the use of proper feeding materials, they pointed out. Of the total number of Iambs fed, in pens of 12 each, 114 grad ed good to choice, after 110 days of feeding, 147 graded medium, and 71 graded common. The lambs were all shipped from Heppner, where they were shown at the wheat league convention, to Portland and sold there to a San Francisco buyer. Top grade brought 110.75 per hundred pounds, the mediums $9.83, and the commons $9. Wheat fed whole plus chopped alfalfa hay proved td be the most successful fattening ration. Pens In which the lambs were fed plen ty of hay and wheat but not with the regularity required, made poor gains compared with those fed properly. In comment ing on the contest, D. E. Richards, who has conducted much feeding research at the eastern Oregon branch experiment station, point ed out that in round figures 100 ! pounds of wheat and 200 pounds of chopped hay will put a lamb In top condition. He added that more fattening of lambs would furnish a profitable market for northwest surplus wheat.

With the problem of maintaining high egg production through artificial lights in times of blackouts are being advised to continue the lights but to darken the Windows, ana men provide ventilation by other means. Such a solution is suggested by N. L. Bennlon, extension poultryman at Oreeon State college, who points out that tne irregular use or sudden dis continuance of light will reduce egg. production Just at a time when it Is badly needed, or may even cause birds to moult. "With the hours and length of time ot blackout so indefinite. the most practical wav to meet the problem seems to be to con tinue the use of lights as in the past but to black but the win dows by using black building pa per or removable paint." Shaft ventilators or openings between rafters above the plate. or slight window openings at the top If the eaves keep out the light, are suggested as means of obtaining ventilation. Turkey breeders are faced with a more difficult problem because artillcial lights are frequently provided without shelter. This will be Imposlble if blackouts continue, although It may be prac tical for some breeders to use available housine facilities which may be lighted and blacked out at I night, with the turkeys turned out during the day, says Ben nlon. Food Production By Oregon to Be Far Above Quotas CORVALLIS, Dec. 22. (AP) Production of food and feed by Oregon farmers next year will be far above quotas assigned to this state on the basis of present plans, according to a summary of sign ups obtained from 95 per cent of Oregon farms. R. B. Taylor. Adams, chairman of the USDA defense board, said reports from all 36 counties have been compiled showing promises of production schedules covering types of food, feed and seed par ticularly needed under war con ditions here and abroad. Produc tion of milk, eggs, and pork prom ise to be exceptionally high. Percentage increases planned for 1942 over 1941 follow: Milk, 19 per cent; milk cows, 18 per cent; hogs, 38 per cent; eggs, 3G per cent; sheep, 10 per cent; beef cattle to be marketed, 12 per cent; sugar beets, 31 per cent; corn 7 per cent; barley, 61 per cent; rye for grain, 17 per cent; hay, 9 per cent; dry beans, 63 per cent; fiber flax, 5 per cent; flax seed, 10 per cent; ryegrass seed, 1S per cent; winter legume seed, 35 per cent; vegetables, 13 per cent, and farm gardens, 11 per cent. Oregon Is Increasing the acre age of cover crop seeds to meet demands in the south where the winter legumes will help meet the nitrate shortage. Oregon alone was asked to meet the cover crop seed goal, said Taylor. Taylor also said farmers will heed priorities on crawler type tractors and electric motors,, but all equipment Is getting so short that speed In repairing machinery and ordering necessary parts and new equipment . is essential, he added.

Attention to Drainage May Save Valuable Crop Ponded water from heavy rain fall threatens injury to certain crops In western Oregon at a time full production will be need ed to swell the food supplies necessary to defense, points out W. L. Powers, head of the soils department at Oregon State col lege. He recommends a few hours' work with plow and shovel to clear out surface runs and re lease water from ponded spots. Such drainage will also lessen soil erosion by keeping the soil in condition to absorb water, by intercepting seepage, and by re lieving water which frequently accumulates in excessive quanti ties even under sod.
