I Th Newi-Revlew, Reieburg, Ort. Mon., Junt 6, 1949 I j& FARM and GARDEN NEWS Jl Wool Output Slumps, Due To Boost In Meat Prices, Labor Shortage, Less Grazing Land By ROBERT E. GEIGER . WASHINGTON'. (Jfl U. S. wool production Is back about where it was ihortly after the Civil War. What thii may mean when you come to buy the family's woolen clothing next all, the experts can't say. Taken with other factors, it may or may not mean higher prices. This country now has only 28,000,000 stock sheep and lambs on Its farms. In 1867, after the Civil War, it had more than 40,000,000. That fact in itself isn t alarm ing. This country is a big im porter of wool. But world wool prices have gone sky high, although there seems to be enough wool if we want to pay the price for it. 1 everybody decides he wants new woolens next fall, govern ment experts say there won't be enough to go around. But they don't expect this to happen.

One third of the fatal auto accidents Involved high speed. An automobile is a lethal weapon. At 75 miles per hour, a common speed nowadays, a car Is equal in killing power to a 3000 pound cannon ball nolnff 110 feet each second. "SKIP IT." How's the hrakes? How's the tires? Not so good, but "skip It till next week." These famous last words precede one out of eight fatal accidents. America is In too much of hurry. And it Is bad enniirh nn thp victim who Is killed outright. But think of those who are maimed for life, or who die a lingering death, all battered, bruised, and broken up. Their fale Is worse than those who are finished off quick. Not a ml mile con hv that there isn't an accident causing death or Injury to somebody in an automobile. P. T. Barhum aaid it: "There is a fool born every minute." And If It was only that particular fool that cot kill ed, it wouldn't be so bad. Hut too many perfectly Innocent peo ple become victims. Too often the fool gels away. Jtou may wonder wnat all this has to do with selling Umpqua feeds; hog feed, chicken feed, dairy feed, dog feed, horse feed, turkey feed, yes, and people feed, (UMPQUA CHIEF FLOUR). Well, after all, when you leave the Mill with your feed, we want to be sure that you get it home and feed It. We hop our truck will make It to your place when you nerd a trucklnad at a time.

Unemployment Bio Factor Another factor in the fall situ ation will be employment unemployment increases, not so many people mil buy new clothes, And prims might come down. There has been a slump In the Buying oi woolen goods and thousands of workers in the woolen .nills are out of work, ine government experts say mere are no very accurate llgures on how many suits and other articles of woolen clothing the retailers have on hand. But they believe the stocks of clothing and of the materials from which they are made are quite low Retailers apparently haven't been buying because they've been honing for lower prices. So the woolen importers have cut their purchases In the world markets, too. Our purchases in world markets have declined about 10 percent. When we cut our pur chases, world wool prices drop ped about 10 percent from the peak they reached early this year. When they came down, buyers came back Into the mar ket and prices edged up a hit, Russia, for the first time, has been one of these big world buyers. For two or three years it nas been purcnasing mucn more wool than before. Why Production Slumped The U. S. always has been one of the big producers and one of the big consumers of wool. Why has our production slump ed and why don t we raise all i our own wool If prices are so good? The experts say they can't an swer accurately. The principal factors seem to be these: 1. Meat prices have been so high It has been more profitable for the sheepmen to raise meat than wool. Sheepmen formerly received about half of their In come from wool and half from meat. Now two thirds comes from meat and one third from wool. 2. There has been a short- PRUDENTIAL LIFE Insurance MORACE C.

The government cut down the numbers because officials be lieved the land was being over grazed. A report on this wool situa tion is In the making at the Department of Agriculture. The sheepmen want to know whether mey snouid expand operations or contract. This report probably will say that the United States will al ways have to Import at least one-half of its wool.

Thus, the poultrvman may double up on egg production. a nen sneiter may be similar to a range shelter used for nullpts during the early growing period. Or, it may be an open air chicken house built with a roof, wire sides, and a wire or slat floor. Old hens are best culler) from the laying flock as they start to molt, Bennion suffgests. Hen shpl. ters fit poultry management plans where early chicks are hatched. Frequently such pullets are ready to lay before the old birds are out of production. DDT Saves Elm Trees. But Takes Toll Of Birds WASHINGTON. June 6.-IP) The insecticide DDT is helping to save elm shade trees, but there are indications that it is harmful to birds. So said the Arglculture Depart ment In announcing lhat it has received reports of birds dying of DDT poisoning. The deaths follow ed heavy ppllcations of the in secticide to control insect carriers of Dutch elm disease and phloem necrosis, two deadly enemies of elm trees.

A. Harper, on the poultry staff of the O. S. C. ex periment station, as the result of experiments with advance artifi cial lighting of breeding hens. Harper and J. E. Parker, head of the poultry department, found that response of turkey hens to artificial light is directly related to seasonal egg production. In other words, the first hens to start : laying after light was applied, . were the ones that produced the most during the season. ' The research men also found that hens that responded slowly" to the stimulus of artificial light showed greater tendency toward pauses and gaps in their produc tion through the season, either from broodincss or other causes. "In view of these findings it ap pears practical to improve egg and poult production in turkeys through saving stock from indi vidual hens showing most rapid response . to light stimulation," Harner writes in an article re cently published in Poultry Science, j . "Date of sexual maturity may be determined without trapnest ing by' examination of the pos terior end Of the oviduct," he ex plained. . ' Reprints of Harper's entire re port on the experiment may be had free by writing to the poultry department at the college.
