NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURS, OREGON MONDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1948 NINE Flour Mads From Spuds May Reduce Costs WASHINGTON A new type of potato flour which will utilize even the potato skins was an nounced by the department of agriculture. Light cream in color, with all the value of whole potatoes, this flour costs only two-thirds as much to make as .the present whjte potato flour, because It does away with peeling and cook ing. The potatoes are ground up, skins and all, and dried in steam tube driers. The department of agriculture hones this new pro cess will help cut down the cur rent potato surplus.

'ote and Robert W. Every who point out that many farmers and ranchers avoid these losses by spraying or dip ping their stock. Now is the best time to control lice, the "entomologists declare. Lice numbers are at a seasonal low this time of year. Also, winter hair coals on animals have not yet reachej their full develop ment, allowing better penetration with smaller amounts of spray and dip materials. Both Mote and Every state that dipping is effective and satisfac tory where large herds are handl ed, making vat building practical. In smaller herds, however, they say that spraying is most fre quently used. In both spraying and dipping complete coverage of the animal s body is fundamental ;o rid it of lice. One treatment will generally give control. Spraying will require about two gallons of solution for each ant mail. Power sprayers . must pro duce a pressure of about 400 pounds per square inch for best results, the entomologists declare. A number 5 disc - a single spray gun is best with that type of equipment. Where multiple nozzle heads are used, they recommend number 3 or 4 discs. DDT and rotenone are the two insectides being recommended for cattle lice control. The entomolo gists recommend that farmers and ranchers consult their local countv extension agent for spray anti dipping formulas. Although it is effective, dusting Is only recommended on herds where a few head are to be treat ed) About six to eight ounces of dust will be required for each animal. Cattlemen who expect to con trol both lice and grubs with a single application are advised Hint DDT will not control grubs. Rotenone is effective for both lice and grubs, however. I W HEALTH.

Western Production of Fertilizer Inadequate to Meet Area's Demands SEATTLE liP) Farmers: Did you know that the west has more material lor the production of fertilizer than anywhere else In the world? Yet western production of fertilizer is "grossly inadequate" to meet even western demands for it? the critical present Conversion of Groin To Motor Fuel Envisaged SEATTLE (m Does your auto engine sputter? Maybe you are low on wheal. At a University of Washington-sponsored agricultural clinic here a scientist described re search aimed at converting grain into motor fuel, industrial and beverage alcohol, syrups, dextrose sugar and wheat gluten products. Carl E. Rist, head of the starch and dextrose division of the Northern Regional Research Laboratory at Peoria, 111., said alcohol and water mixtures pro vide a superior fuel when in jected Into engines which use a low-grade gasoline. He said on the basis of prices quoted a month ago, beverage alcohol can be made profitably from wheat priced at S2.10 a And that shortaee of Dower Is the key fac- tor preventing the establishment on a required scale of major fer tilizer plants in the west and particularly in the Pacific North west,. Those observations were made bv Ivan Blocli, Industrial con sultant at Portland, Ore., and formerly chief of the Bonneville Power Administration's industrial division. He warned that "this situa tion may be of great consequence in Its effect on the western ec onomic structure." Bloch added the optimistic note however, that the potential pow er supply in the Pacific North west insures that tne area can eventually turn out enough fer tilizer to meet its needs. "All basic materials phos nhale rock. DOtash. sulphur com pounds, the raw material for nit rogen production, including elec tric power required for the pro duction of fertilizer materials exist in the west in quantities far greater than anywhere else in the nation and in the world," he said. Rapid Increase Noted Bloch said use of fertilizer In the west has increased in a man ner as "phenomenal" as tne pop ulation growth. The usage was 30 times greater -In- 1946 than in 1910 and it doubled between 1943 and 1946. "Exhaustive study shows," he said, "that the potential markets for phosphate fertilizer alone in the 11 western states in 1960 will be almost five times greater than 1946 production." But while fertilizer use has boomed, the center of fertilizer production Is only slowly shift ii.n from the east to the west. Bloch said that shift will oc cur. He pointed out that 60 per cent of the nation's phosphate reserves are located In Montana, Idaho. Wyoming and Utah. The, west, with great deposits in New Mexico, California and utan, nas all of the nation's sources of potash. It also has "more than substantial" resources ot sulphur and adequate potential supplies of nitrogen. All of this indicates. Bloch said, that "without question both markets and raw materials in the west provide an amazingly desirable condition for the ex pansion of a fertilizer industry commensurate with the future of the west." Insurance Program Protects Farmers From Strike Loss FRESNO, Calif., Dec. 13-trtV-The program to insure California farmers against losses from strikes and other labor distur Dances was announced last week. It was described before the convention of the Associated Farmers of California as the first such plan In the country. insurance policies will cover only costs of production, not profits. Policies will be written through the Agricultural Inter-Insurance Exchange, a non-profit associa tion of farmers headed by Philip Bancroft of Walnut Creek, Calif., vice president of the Associated ! farmers. A permit to solicit applications for policies was Issued last Tues day by the state insurance inspec tor. The exchange is accepting policy applications but cannot is sue any policies until it builds up i a reserve tuna oi iuu,uuu. Bancroft said any farmer in the state is eligible for coverage. Basic coverage will cost from 75 cents to $1.00 per $100 de pending on the crop. It would protect against losses resulting from labor disturbances on pre mises of farmers. In addition, for about $1.25 per $100, farmers may be in sured against losses from trans portation failures within the state and against losses from labor disturbances at processing plants such as canneries or packing houses. Only farmers paying standard wages and maintaining good working conditions will be In sured, promoters of the plan said. cress.
