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.

Cattle Lice On
Wintering Stock
Cause Slow Gain
Customary increased lice activi
ty on livestock during the winter
months causes lowered animal
vitality, poor gains, and slow calf
growth, state two O.S.C. entomo
logists Don C. '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.

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?

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.
