S. Suit Against Oregon Medicos Off Until Fall PORTLAND, May 31. (IP) The government's anti-trust suit against the Oregon State Medical Society, scheduled for June 7, has been postponed to the fall term of court. federal Judge McCullough de decided it would be impossible to get the hundreds or documents planned as evidence, marked by the earlier date. Summonses for 155 physicians living In 27 Oregon cities had been drafted. They are to be witnesses In the case in which the government charges the So ciety, I he Oregon Physicians Serv ice and Individual physicians with conspiring to restrain and mon opolize the sale of prepaid medi cal care. Many suits similar to the one now on file here await outcome of the case, Herbert A. Bergson, Washington, D. C, head of the government's anti-trust division said. He called the Oregon suit a "test case." He added that a victory lor the government might result In oth er organizations voluntarily alter ing iheir programs, thus making further suits unnecessary. Change Slated For U. S. Tradesmen In Germany FRANKFORT, Germany, May 31 (A') The United States Army has begun informing hundreds of American businessmen here that beginning July 1 thev will have to live on the Germany economy. This will mean that American's, and all foreigners, will pay for I heir food, supplies and services In German marks Instead of American dollars. It means too. that, they will buy from Germans and will not have access to Army post exchanges or other Army facilities. r . t . er i . - . . ii a i i i i i. , rf "j, t&Ttt o- 9 4 SPELLING CHAMP WASHINGTON. May 31 (.!) Kim Calvin, 13, Canton, O., won the 22nd annual national spelling bee. Runner-up was James Shea, 13, Brooklyn, N. Y. Calvin, 13, correctly spelled "dulcimer" after Shea spelled It "Dolclmer." Calvin correctly spelled "oner ous" to clinch the championship. Vol. XI, No. 21 May 31, 1949 Lest Houn; Eosier Work Thli headline might sound Ilk It came from Old Jawn L. Lewis for his coal miners. But It Is our program for the poul tryman. As we have repeated so often, there Isn't a lazy bone In our body, hut we just hale to do any work that can be avoided. With hot weather coming on we have a summer feeding prob lem with old hens. Thev have been hitting the hall for'S or 9 months, and they are beginning In feel their age. They get tired or maybe lazv, and resent any "speed up" Just like Ford's auto workers. The problem Is to keep them eating the right kind of feed, which will keep them feeling fit, and they will lav because they have to lay. A Utile too much scratch grain during summer and they get cverfnt, and first thing we know, thev are out of production and heading for their fall moult, or the urge for motherhood. To avoid guessing lust how much scratch grain to feed, and to assure a continuous flow of properly balanced ration through your wearv layers, the Douglas Flour Mill' could make you up a summer ration of all mash, ff there haiwncri In he sufficient call for It. This all mash ration would have enough energy Ingredients to keep the layers In proper condition for marr.et at the end of the laving year, and still furnish enough proteins, vitamins and other nu trients for as much egg produc J tion as each bird is capable of. i Like all other I'mnnua Feeds. the price of Ihls summer feed would be as low as the usual hlch nun lit v of our feeds would permit, it would cost appioxi mately the same as the regular mash and scratch system, with out the extra bother.

We think Ihe main consideration Is not: "Is It too late?", but "Are conditions right for raising chlx for egg production?" To that question we answer "Yes." We think the outlook for a profit on egg production is origni itir some time to come. Population of the Pacific Coast Is Increasing faster than Ihe production of fond, especially of poultry and poultry products. Kgg prices In Portland today are higher by l'rc than in New York. Old timers In the egg busi ness know what thai means. We used In ship all our eggs to New York. Now eggs come In from the Mississippi Valley and points west. Figures for two weeks ago show egg Imports to the Pa cific Coast totaled 110 cars hv rail and truck. And a lot of them came right into our own hack yard. A Little Help, Please Unless we get a little business from somebody we goln' to have to fold up. You know how we keep part sacks of grit and oys tershell for those who want on ly two hits worth? Well, we found our old cat with a mess of kittens In a half a sack of grit. And It had been so long since Adam had sold any grit that the kittens already had their eyes open. Business is THAT POOR! On That Bum Feed Howard Carnes Is back in the turkey business. Doing all right, too. Bought 500 poults: tapped six on Ihe bean; (they died from It!; has 502 left. Howard ex plained that they threw In 8 extras. Prices are high. Guy walked into a Kugene slore. picked up half dnren apples which came to $l.(i5. He gave Ihe clerk two bucks and stal led out. The clerk says: "Hey. you forgot your change." The customer, who was real honest, said: "Keep Ihe change. 1 slopped on a straw. I berry as I came In." AND TO THF. F.r.C, PHOPfC- ER WHO SUBMITS THF.

We are often asked: "Is it Urn !ale to get chicks for egg produc tion now?" In our wonderful rll- mate, It Is never too late to get chlx. Period! Chicks grow well In any If they can produce eggs In Minnesota and Nebraska and ship to Portland and Seattle, we can certainly compete, and at a profit. Contrary to general opin ion, commercial feeds cost as much In Nebraska as in Oregon, and many of them more than I'MPljl'A FEEDS. Besides, our rich Uncle Sam Is going to "support" the price of eggs. During April he nought around two million pounds of dried eggs a week at $1.26 a pound. Considering the above farts, we feel safe In advising you to go ahead with your chick buy ing, and plans for egg farming. It looks good to us. With electric lights, you can bring your birds in at the proper age, almost re gardless of season. This also happened In Eugene. "Are you the girl who look my order?" asked Ihe Impatient man In the rate. "Yes. sir," re plied Ihe hasher. "Well, blow me down! You don't look day older!" Built-Up Litter If you are using the so-called built up litter, be sure ou have it built deep enough. That means in a brooder house at least six or seven Inches. It MUST be deep enough to absorb all mois ture, or It won't fill the hill. In a laving house It should lie not less than S Inches, and ten Is hotter. II ii time to start building up your w'.nler inter while the weather Is still warm and dry. June Isn't too carls, though you can wait till early September, If you prefer. We have a mess of that cane litter, they call "Serval Stadry." It Is used extensively In Ihe' Middle West for built-up litter. Why not get lined up now. for some easy work next winter.

Pine Exterminate Plant Pests Before They Deal Damage To Your Garden Cleanliness Is as Important in your garden as it is in your home. VVithout it even your most expen sive ornamentals will perish. Disease, pestilence and weed growth every year In gardens along the Pacific coast are re sponsible for the destruction of a fortune in beautiful plants. If ap plied in time ten cents worth of Insecticide mav save the life of a fifty dollar shrub. The secret of effective pest con trol is regularity. During the warmer months of the year it is advisable to spray at least once every ten to fourteen days. In areas where aphis abound a spray ing once a week is reauired for effective control. There are different ways of spraying a plant. Techniques may change from time to time. Several years ago entomollgists fel. that a mist-like spray was most ef fective. Today manufacturers of spray equipment seem to think that It is advisable to absolutely drench the plants as well as the bugs. This seems fairly logical because a light mist might allouf pests to escape. But when they are engulfed by t flood of spray ma terial there is little chance of their getting away. Thoroughness Needed To obtain a 100 per cent kill you will have to do more than simply spray the surface of the plants. Garden bugs are smarter than you think. They often lurk in the corners and crevices be tween the leaves. Not infrequent ly they rest on the underneath side of the leaves. If you spray only from on top the foliage may act like an umbrella. So you should hit the plants from every angle possible . . from on top. from below and also from in front. This provides a more complete coverage. And don't he afraid to flood the plants. If the insecticide has been di luted according to the manufac turer's directions there is little chance that the plants will suffer any injury. Transplanting Saves Valuable Time , In Speeding Harvest From Garden You can save time In your gar- der by planting established trans plants, rather than seed. Most garden supply stores now carry a complete assortment of both flower and vegetable seedlings. At the time they are offered to the buying public the plants are around six weeks old. In other words you can save this much time and then you will not have to worry about damping off and other problems associated with germinating seeds. The young transplants must not he allowed to dry out. It is advis able to have the soil and planting hole all ready to receive the plants. If Ihe roots are exposed to air the seedlings may suffer a setback, in extreme cases they may die. The new transplanting hormones will prove of real value in setting out transplants. In fact It is wise to use these hormones whenever plants of any kind are transplanted from one location to another. In this way the shock usually suffered hy the plants wiien uii-y Hie moved win lie greatly minimized. Also'the hor mones contain' a substance that Induces rapid root growth. Some growers are of the opin ion that it is wise to prune the roots and also the foliage of the plants to be moved. Others main tain that this practice actually may hinder Ihe plants from get ting quickly established. It would be an interesting adventure to prune some of the lops leaving the others alone. Then observe carefully and determine for your self which plants seem to get established first. After planting. firm the soil well about the roots. This prevents the formation of air pockets. After planting, wa ter thoroughly. HOBBY SHOW DATED The Camas Valley Garden Club Is sponsoring a hobby show to be held at the schoolhouse Friday, June 3.
