As near as we can judge, the crop will be about the same as last year, according to early estimates In Douglas County. With chickens the picture Is different. Indications point to a much smaller production of chickens of all kinds than last yean Considering the natural ad vantages of Douglas County for the production of poultry, we can see where curtailment of production too severely could be a great mistake. The big prob lem, as we view it, is not so much lower production In these trying times, as it is to make the best possible use of feeds. "The Feed Bag" has consis tently tried to give the Impres sion that production in Douglas County should be held at ap- froximatc!y the same levels as ast year. Dairy stock, turkeys and pullets for egg production could well be held at last year's levels, and fryers should be re duced by about a third. OPA prices on fryers are tak ing care of the situation very well. And open markets on eggs are discouraging brooding of pullet chicks. But It must be re membered that this is always the season for low egg prices, and normally the price will lm prove after the heavy spring production of eggs Is over. Many people we talk with are planning on carrying over their old hens, rather than replace with pullets. We think- this Is a mistake because it Is not using feed to the best advantage. Old hens use a lot of feed during their three months molt. This feed could be used to much bet ter advantage by feeding it to pullets, and selling the old birds at the end of their first year. Should a serious feed situa- Homo on Furlough Corpo ral Cecil Schulze is spending his 30-day furlough visiting his par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Schulze, and other relatives and friends In Roseburg and Brock way.

There are reports that some order for early poults have been cancelled, and some folks arc beginning to wonder about selling their eggs. If you happen to be among that number, see us.

Feb. 2 1944 lOAST CHICK It's about the time !of year when we begin our annual warning not to roast your chicks until they are about three months old. We have several pet peeves about brooding chicks and poults, and want to start early this season to cussing ind discussin gthem. Most important, we think, Is he "starting temperature", and "fencing them up to the brood t until they learn the heat." A little observation on your part "HI convince you that chicks don't need to "learn the heat". They already know. It follows that the "fence" Is not only unnecessary, but In many cases Is actually harmful. Most recommendations are to un the heat anywhere from 90 to 100 degrees the first few lavs. We have seen the ther nometer hanging any place from the stove door to the brood er house window. If the thermometer is hang :ng on the wall at eve level, and :hnws 90 degrees, It is probably '20 under the hover. Try fenc ing the little beggars close to 'he stove under these conditions, ind you have made rapid prog ress townrds wasting your feed, time and money. If you use a thermometer, olace it about level with the '-'c't's bTk nt the place where he is going to sleep, and have t about 85 to 90 degrees. Watch f'llck more than you do the thermometer. Regulate tempera ture to keep him comfortable. 1 Keep him ns cool as possible without huddling, give him nlenty of Umpqua chick mash ind scratch, as soon as possible Tfter he enters this world, give '-lm wter and keep him clean. It's that easy. In trying to cut expenses, everyone bumps Into overhead. Mtt
