A Sack of Fried Chicken
Everybody loves fried chicken,
and now Is the time of year It
taslei the best. AND, as they say,
"It's an 111 wind that blows no
body any good." Unfortunately
for the fryer producer, and for
tunately for the housewife who
Is looking for something lhat
will make good eating 'or the
family and still leave enough In
the pocketbook for taxes, fryers
are among the cheapest meats In
the list.
So, as our good deed for today
to the housewife, we advise buy
ing a nice fat fryer, and giving
the family a swell treat at a low
price. Anyway, If you don't get
It cheap, It Isn't because the
grower got paid too much for
his part.
And our good deed for the day
lo the fryer producer Is to an-
vise: "Buy Hl-Lo Broiler nation,
and raise that fryer at the low
est possible cost." We know you
won't get rich raising fryers at
present prices, but we know you
can give yourself a break by
using HI LO.
How can we be so sure, you
mn v ask. Glad vou asked. We
have a grower who has found out
for us. On a hoik oi arounu
1000 straight run chlx. brooded
on the floor, with a touch of
coxev causing annul loss, ine
average weight at 10 weeks, two
days, was 2.!.) H's., and ine lecn
efficiency of HILO was 3.17
pounds of feed to produce one
pound of gain.
Tn the many tesls on these
new wonder feeds, It Is consider
ed exceptional to get a pound of
broiler at 8 to 10 weeks on liner
pounds of feed, when chlx are
aiSeO in nauriH'!'. wmii'i iniv,n-
torv conditions. I nereiore, we
know that I'MTOA'A HILO
mtntl.KR RATION compares
with the best that has been work
ed out by Hiiy of the scientific
guys. Barring mat nine snoi in
''envnv" feed conversion would
have been better than 1 for 3.
And Ih s test Is miner completely
practical conditions.
We almost forgot to mention
that there was NO perosis - -
legweaknessi. no nieasi mm.
ers, nor oiner vhhimim m--
flclencles in inis nuncn oi ii.vcis.
And the meat qualities were
superduper.
Kor a feed that ttisures satis
faction to producer and con
sumer alike, HI LO Broiler Ra-
Hon has no superior,
tas Is based on completion of
club projects In each county
during the 1!)48 club year.
Total 4H club enrollment In
the stale Is 26,000 or greater.
Many times I he enrollment of
1HUU boys and girls would at
tend summer school, the stale
leader stales, if nil who wish to
attend could be accepted.
Again this year all 4-H sum
mer school students will be
youngsters who were awarded
scholarships by business organl
aliuns, service clubs, fair hoards
and individuals. Value of each
scholarship is set at $2.1 which
Includes meals and lodging for
the 10-day period.
I To be eligible for summer
: school, club members must be
at least 12 years of age. As In
past years, all facilities of the
college health service will be
j maintained for I he youngsters as
! well as a special hanking service
I to care for delegates' money.

We have been very much
pleased with the volume of pnul
try brought in each Thursday

everybody who has sold to Ihese

A few empty coops have len

ottered lo trade the whole outfit

Rex Wheat Free
Of Smut But Too
Hard To Mill
A favorite Oregon wheat va-
rlety, Rex, received a black eye
In a recent wheat variety popu
larity poll conducted bv the
North Pacific Millers Association,
reports Rex Warren, O. S. C. ex
tension farm crops specialist,
who is a member of a three-state
smut control committee. The poll
was taken to find out trade
wheat variety choices based on
neeas and preferences.
Rex, comparatively smut-free
but a notoriously difficult variel
to mill, failed to receive a single
trade vote, Warren stated. Among
varieties favorably regarded by
millers, Allcel and Elgin were
prominently mentioned. Both of
these wheats, however, are sus
ceptible to smut, the number one
wheat disease problem In the
Norinwesi.
New varieties are boinp devel
oped by experiment stations in
Oregon, Washington and Idaho
wnicn are holicved to have ac
ceptable milling qualities as well
as neing relatively smut-free.
Milling tests will be run this
year on several new varieties at
the regional milling test labora
tory established recently at Pull-
for Marion county with 110.
Three counties, Clackamas, Linn
and Washington, will each be
allowed a total enrollment of
100 club members.
Youngsters will be chaperoned
by local club leaders, counly ex
tension personnel and college
students, most of the lalter be
ing former 4-H club members,
Allen adds. Those attending sum
mer school will arrive on June
14, and will leave for their homes
jJune 24.

Farm Leaders In
House Drafting
New Program
WASHINGTON, May 23-fP)
House farm leaders are drafting
a new farm program expected
to keep in effect much of the
present price support svstem.
There were strong Indications
that the Agriculture Subcommit
tee, headed by Rep. Pace I D.-Ga.),
will reject both lal the Truman
administration's "production pay
ment" bill and (b the Aiken
Law passed by the Republican
Congress last year.
The Aiken Law. due lo go into
effect -in 1950. calls for a 60 to
90 per cent of parity "flexible"
price support system. The admini
stration plan would let certain
prices drop below sunDort levels
lo give consumers the benefit of
lower prices with the 'J. S. treas
ury making up the difference
lo larmers.
The House members were ex
pected to produce a bill based
on the present system of rigid

ports for major crops. Vilh con
tinued production controls. It
might authorize some experimen
tal production payments as pro
posed In the administration bill.

At harvest time 1948. relates
E. R. Jackman, O.S.C. farm crops
specialist, the original 120 pounds
of seed had increased to 12.175
pounds. This year, 160 different
je'ferson county farmers as well
as farmers in other Oregon coun
ties and other states have acre
