WASHINGTON-CP) The Ag
riculture Department forecasts
this year's winter wheat crop
at 1,021,476,000 bushels as ol
Mav 1.
This is 1,790,000 bushels more
than the 1,019,686,000 iorecast a
month ago. It compares also with
last year's crop of 990,098,000
and with a ten-year (1938-47)
average of 726,553,000 bushels.
No forecast was given on spring
wheat. But If this class of wheat
turns out at last year's size of
about 300,000,000 bushels, the
combined winter and spring crop
would be 1,321,476,000 bushels.
The largest wheat crop on
record was 1,367,186,000 bushels,
grown In 1947. Last year's crop
wag 1,288,406,000 bushels and the
ten-year average is 942,623,000
bushels.

No. 19 UMPQUA CHIEP( FLOUR and Umpqua Brand Poultry and Dairy Feeds 1949
A Versatile Feed
Most feeda are formulated for
just one purpose. For Instance,
the Douglas Flour Mill makes
one which we call "HI-LO
BROILER RATION" which Is
designed to give the most rapid
growth on fryer chickens. And
It does a rattling good job. Some
day we will tell you more about
this wonderful feed In "The
Feed Bag."
Then we have UMPQUA RAB
BIT PELLETS, which Is a Com
plote feed, and Is producing
some of the best rabbits at the
lowest cost vou ever heard of.
UMPQUA PiG RATION Is an
other special feed, which will
make big pigs out of little ones
In the shortest possible time,
and with the leastest strain on
your pocketbook.
Now we come to UMPQUA
CALF MEAL and UMPQUA
CALF PELLETS. You would
naturally guess that this formu
la would ne strictly inr caives.
But It brines on the finest
"bummer lambs"! Is often used
as a "creep" feed for lambs,
whereby it Is nut where lambs
can get It, but the old sheep
can't. It doesn't take long till
the lambs are as big as the ewes,
they they can't creep In any
more. E'.it you wanted them big,
didn't you?
Take a doe with a big lllter.
You can help her bring that lit
ter tip to the slandanl weights
at the standard time by adding
a couple tablespoonsful of UMP
QUA CALF PELLETS a day to
her regular feed. The little bun
nies will catch on quick too.
After thev get started rating
good, add a tablespoon for each
rabbit In the oversize litter.
We also have reports of many
poultrymen using UMPQUA
CALF PELLETS as a trigger to
slart production back up after It
slacks due to hot weather, laded
appetites, ct cetera. A couple of
pounds a nay to eacn nunnren
birds, as soon as they catch on
to the racket. Seems to do the
job. too.
But. after nil. UMPQUA CALF
PELLETS were ot initially made
for ralves and thev crow lust
about as well as thev do on the
cow. We have seen some dandy
ralves that had no milk after
Ihe first week. Thev were
taught to cat the pellets, and
from then on. there was "notn-
lug to It."
At the price of milk, butter-
fat, etc.. It Is easy to see where
UMPQUA CALF MEAL or pel
lots are worth a lot of money.
Funnv thing Is, a hundred
pounds of Umpqua costs a dol
lar and a half less than any oth
er brand. Can you figure that
one?
Wheat Crop,
Are Forecast;
Milk Upped
The yield of winter wheat per
acre was Indicated at 18.4 bush
els, compared with 16.6 fore
cast a month ealier, with 18.7
last year and 17 for the ten
year average.
The acreage of winter wheat
expected to be harvested for
grain was put at 55,656,000 acres.
The Department had previously
estimated 61,370,000 acres had
been seeded. The indicated acre
age for harvest compares with
52,859,000 acres last year and 42,
500,000 for the ten-yer average.
Ppach production in 10 major
southern producing states was
forecast at 14,738.000 bushels com
pared with 14,080,000 last year
and 18,330,000 for the ten-year
average.
The condition of spring crops
Hot Weather Comet
It is only May, hut one never
knows, does one? We sometimes
run Into hot weather unexpect
edly. In fact, come to think of It,
it Is Just about always that way,
A sudden change causes
trouble In the laying house, and
sometimes even on the range.
When temperatures gel up to
100 It Is hard for poultry to
combat it. They often die from
"heatstroke." The thing to do Is
start sprinkling, which will
lower temperatures 10 to 15 de
grees In five minutes. If any
birds become prostrated, don't
lose any time In "dunking" them
In a washtuh full of wnler. It
won't hurt them and will re
vive a high percentage of them.
After completely sousing them,
put them In a shady breezy
place.
When apiietites lag, due to
hot weather, begin feeding
PEEBLES CONDENSED
WHEY with RUBOLAC. It Is a
great appetizer, and has gobs of
vitamins. Simplest way Is to
self feed It In lis own container.
A Scotchman bought two raf
fle tickets. One of them was the
lucky ticket, and he won the
Hulck. When his friends came
to congratulate him they found
him very low.
"Why,' mon, what's the matter
wi' you?"
"It's that second ticket. I
canna Imagine why I ever
bought it."

Many of the bad habits chicks

shortage of feeding space. It
won't pay. Feather picking, can

some Individual was waiting her

Also many of the runts and

CENTRALIA UP) Do you
prefer chicken or pheasant? Or
would you HKe a little or. Dotn
off the same bird?
In spite of the fact scientists
in the field of genetics said it
couldn't be done, James H. Know
les of Centralia and Associated
Breeders after 15 years of ef
fort claims to have crossed Chi
nese and Mongolian pheasants
with Cornish and New Hamp
shire chickens. He calls the re
sults "Northwesters." They are
broad-breasted, with thick drum
sticks, providing Knowles says
more white meat and better
eating.
The Northwester has from 8
to 15 percent more meat on the
carcass, he claims, and the fine
grained meat retains "Just the
right touch of the game flavor."
The first chicks from the fifth
cross were hatched in 1945, and
by the following spring about
500 chicks were being produced
weekly, which were placed in
commercial broiler plants and
given to local FFA members for
further development.
Knowles says a substantial
market for the Northwesters
has been established.

ter, and maybe get a case of
"coxey," which they liberally
pass on to their little brother's
and sisters, and then the trouble
starts,
Even so, your birds should see
the bottoms of the feeders sev
eral times a week. Feed slays
fresh that way, and they eat bet
ter and grow heaps better. But
the only proper time for feeders
to he empty is In the afternoon.
Kill 'em up good for evening and
be SURE there Is plenty left to
last till you get out there in Ihe
morning. A light breakfast is a
prime cause of coxey In chlx or
poults.
Bobby asked his dad, "Why
didn't Noah swat both the flies
when he had such a. good
chance?" We've oflen pondered
that one too. But It would have
resulted In DDT being practical
ly useless, By the way, we have
DDT In several different
strengths. Don't let old man
Noah s mistake plague you all
summer.
Change Feeding System
Many flocks were led grain
free choice, or at least all they
would eat during winter months.
This Is a very good Idea. But
you undoubtedly change your
eating habits when summer
comes on. You switch from meat
and potatoes to lettuce and cole
slaw.
It's a fine Idea to do the same
for your laying flocks. They
don't need heavy grain feeding
In summer, nor afler they gel
their full growth. We suggest
cutting down on UMPQUA
SCRATCH to around 8 lbs. per
hundred Leghorns and 10 lbs.
per hundred heavies. Give them
all the UMPQUA MILK KC.i;
Mash or Breeder's Mash they
will clean up. It has proved the
best wav In the world to get
high production in hot weather
at low cost per dozen, when egg
prices are hli;h. Hl-Le Hi l.o!
Feed young growing chix and
pullets all the UMPQUA
SCRATCH thev want, along
with full feeding of UMPQUA
MILK DEVELOPING MASH,
They know what to do about it.

Forly- three percent , of the
stale's tolal certified alta fescue
production, or 542,972 pounds, was
produced in Union county by 26
growers. Most of the remainder,
56 percent, was grown in the Wil
lamelte valley. Approximately
705,513 pounds wer; grown In this
area. One percent was divided
between Jackson and Umatilla
counties.
Presence of too much ryegrass
seed accounted for 59 percent
of the rejections for certification
in the Willamette valley. This
amounted to 74.319 pounds of seed.
Weed seed disqualified the re
maining 42 percent.
Non-ceilified seed is not a tolal
loss to oroducers. It may be mar
keted as such althoueh It usually
sells at a lower price as compared
to certified lots.
Four weed seeds were named by
Finnell as chief offenders of weed
free standards. About equally di
vided was the presence of buck
horn plantain, chess, and sorrel
wilh quackgrass less frequently
encountered.
Approximately 16 percent of
Ihe alia fescue seed which met
certifirallon standards last year
would not be eligible for sale In
one or more slates, Finnell adds.
Lack of uniformity in state seed
laws Is given as the reason. It is
to growers' advantage to produce
"clear tag" seed, he emphasizes.

cular, number 531, entitled "Good
Silage Is Not Too Wet Nor Too
Dry But Just Right." This han

When grass silage is made cor
rectly, the circular shows, a
handful when clenched In the
hand, then released, will spring
slowly apart. There is also a slip';
feeling of moisture in the hand.
Grass silage made thus contains
about 30 percent dry matter and
is "just right" for good silage.
Preservatives, storage, crops to
