Vol. VI No. 17 HIGH FEED PRICES A lot of you folks wonder why and how the price of food keeps rising when there is a ceil ing price in effect. And why it should go up when egg prices go down. There is no direct connection between feed prices and prices of eggs, turkeys and butter. But wheti the law of supply and de mand is allowed to operate there ts a general relation. The celling is not placed on the price of feed, as so many neon e IxMieve. but on the van ous ingredients of feed, and ON THE MARGIN OF PROFIT al lowed feed manufacturers. Therefore no feed man is pro fiteering, even though he might be tempted to get his share of the gravey, like a lot ot other concerns are doing. On the con trary, the Douelas Hour Mill, and many other feed mills are actually selling mixed feeds at less than prices allowed by UFA. Here ts why feeds have gone ut the last year; since Jan. 1, 11M3 oats have gone up $17.50 per ton, oariey u.wi, wneai $13.00, corn S8.50, soybean meal $12.30, and other Ingredients in proportion. Other costs have also risen, but OPA has not yet in creased the margin allowed us. Nor will we complain, since we are still under this margin. With the exception of medi cated feeds, we nave only one mixed (red that Is selling over $4.00 per hundred, and that is Umpqua Turkey Starter, which is $1.15 in mash, and $4.23 in compressed. With Umpqua Milk Egg Mash at $3.55 and eggs 30c a doz; Umpqua Milkmaker $2.85 and butter fat 52ic lb, (besides the subsidy): Umpqua Milk De veloping Mash $3.65 and fryer at 31c; Umpqua Turkey Gro $3.60 and turkeys 40i: a lb., wc believe you can make expenses and a living, til you can con tinue getting the feed), and at HHte IF IE Public Health Assn. Of Douglas County Sets Annual Meet The annual meeting of the Douglas County Public Health association has been set for June 7, it was announced here today by Miss Jane Allen, Portland, or ganization secretary for the Ore gon Tuberculosis association, who has been in Roseburg for the past few days conferring with Mrs. Fred Fisher, president, and other association officers and workers relative to the health program for the county. Plans are being made for a luneheon meeting to be held at the Umpqua hotel. Reports cov ering the past year's activities will be presented and officers will be elected. It is hoped, Miss Allen reports, to secure as speakers Mrs. Saidie Orr-Dunbar, president of the Oregon Tuberculosis association, and Captain William R.

DENN-GERRETSEN CO. 402 West Ook St. Phone 128 Published Weekly by the Douglas County Mfgrs. of Umpqua and Sunrise Poultry and WHEAT. Corn We have a telegram promis ing a car of wheat early next week. That will help offset the bad news about corn. As near as we can tell, corn will have to grow before any more will be available for the Pacific Coast. What we have will be used in mashes and scratch until it is gone. We wish we had more, but when livestock and poultry has to get along without corn, they will continue to do well. The poultry department at Corvallis has run experiments lasting three years on cornless diets for chickens, and note no significant difference in per formance, compared with ordin ary rations using corn. In many parts of the country wheat, oats, barley, kafir and other grains are used in the production of livestock and poultvy to the ex clusion of corn, and very good results obtained. Many human beings didn't even have to bor row red sumps, nor nuy Diack market meat before OPA loosen ed up on-points. PROVED PERFORMANCE George Thomas from Roberts Creek Just told us ho had sold or set nearly 7000 turkey eggs from 186 hens, (besides the cull and broken eggs), fertility has been good, and hatchability close lo SO'fc of all eggs set. Poults are big and strong, with excellent livabillly. Tony Mies of Sulherlin has also reported hatches even ex ceeding 80 of all eggs set, with fertility over 90.

Dr. Murlln has been loan ed to the state of Oregon by the U. S. Public Health service. He has Introduced the microfilm floriscopic' method of X-ray ex amination for industrial workers in the Portland area and is fur nishing examinations to every shipyard workers In that area. With funds provided through the Christmas seal sale of last December, the, Oregon associa tion is now constructing a health mobile, soon to be put in opera tion. It is hoped, with the use of this equipment, Miss Allen re ports, to obtain an X-ry test for tuberculosis for every adult in Oregon. The Douglas county as sociation, she states, will be ask ed to organize examinations in Douglas county. More than 200 persons -can be checked with this apparatus she states, in one day. The Douglas County Health as sociation, she points out, is not connected with the Oregon State board of health nor the county health unit, except in an advisory and cooperative capacity. The as sociation's aim Is to assist these organizations in maintaining an adequate health program. OR SEE Phone 121 Flour Mill, Dairy Feeds. May 8 1944 CLEAN FEED TROUGHS When we say clean feed troughs, we mean two things. One is to keep the dirt and litter out of the feed, and the other is to see that birds clean up all feed in troughs at least once every day, after they are well started. Feed is scarce, and should not be wasted. Dirty feed encour ages waste. It looks like very few people realize how long a little chick or poult's neck and legs are. So troughs re kept flat on the floor, "so the chicks can reach the feed." Result; lit ter and dirt mixed in the feed. The same should be said about water fountains. After the first four or five days, raise all feed and water containers up on two inch blocks, or better yet, on screen or lath platforms. Also, have plenty of containers, and a few to spare. A timid poult or chick will not elbow its way Into a mob to cat, and as a conse quence, they either starve or be come runts. Did you ever go to a picnic or a public feed? 'And notice how some folks crowd and horn in to get their share, (and yours)? And how you would be oolite atid wait your proper turn? And then have to go home and raid the icebox, because there waii't enough to go round? ro your timid polite lit tle poults have un icebox lo raid? DOG FOOD We still have a right smart of a mess of that "Super-meat" dogfood down here at the Mill. Sells for $1.10 for 10 lb. bag.
