Jtrety Dairymen Kick At New Milk Prfet PORTLAND, July 7. UP) The new milk price In this area has drawn compplaints from Jer sey breeders and buttermilk dealers. The Jersey owners complained that the order is not fair to pro ducers whose milk has a high butterfat content. The new or der bases less of the price on but terfat content. , The buttermilk people objected to the prire of grade A skimmed milk. R. E. Cavett asserted that buttermilk, "the poor man's drink," is being priced out of the mavKet.

MARTIN -Associated Press Farm Reporter WASHINGTON. CD Threats of new farm surpluses, with pros pects of a return to government production controls, raise this question: Can government planning of farm output keep pace with science? With foreign markets for many agricultural products falling off and with imports of some competitive products increasing, the Agri culture Department faces the problem of cutting domestic produc tion of a number of commodities. Yet day by day science is show. ing the farmer how to produce more and more on less and less land and with fewer hours of labor. This tug-o'-war is leading many farm leaders to debate the effec tiveness of one of the major measures now authorized by law for holding down farm output Talking About a Home? So many people do noth ing but talk about it! But if you really want to own your home, consult me now. Personal attention. Economical terms.

When the government decides there is need to reduce production of a crop, it sets up a system of acreage allotments. Under it, the Agriculture Department sets a production goal for the particular crop. Then it says that on the basis of past average yields per acre, it would take so many acres ux ianu 10 prouuce ine goal. , But the government has no assurance that the crop will be kept within the goal, even if every farmer stays with his allot' ment. It is possible for farmers to boost the vield above the vast average by using more fertilizer, new and higher-yielding varieties oi seed, and improved Harvesting machinery. A boost of two bushels an acre in the yield would, in this case, produce a surplus of about 133, 000,000 bushels of wheat above the goal. Forecasts Malar Headach This inability to forecast yields per acre Has been a major neaa ache in government efforts to cope with costly potato surpluses of recent years. Last year, for example, the harvested acreage was the smallest in nearly seven decades. Yet the crop almost equalled a record set in What happened? Farmers ap plied more fertilizers. They used the newest insecticides. Big problems appear to be ris ing in connection with corn sur pluses. Recent studies on use of fertilizers on this vital livestock feed crop show that vast increases are possible in yields per acre. Last year, for example, 44 per cent more corn was produced on 23 per cent fewer acres than the average for the 1929-34 period. Farmers are quickly learning that they can Increase yields and returns tremendously by applying fertilizer side-dressing to corn during tne growing sea' son.

CONVENIENT PARKING AT LOT IN REAR OF STORE Artificial Light Ups Production Of Turkey Hens A method of picking best layers among turkey breeding hens with out expensive trapnestlng is sug gested by J. A. Harper, on the poultry staff of the O. S. C. ex periment station, as the result of experiments with advanced artifi cial lighting of breeding hens. Harper and J. E. Parker, head of the poultry department, found that response of turkev hens to artificial light is directly related to seasonal egg production. In other words, the first hens to start laying after light was ap- Slied, were the ones that produced te 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 broodlness or other causes. "In view of these findings, It appears practical to improve egg and poult production In turkevs through saving stock from individ ual hens showing most rapid re sponse to light stimulation, Har- learn of the possibilities of thus boosting yields, the production pattern of the country will be upset and government planning to curb surpluses will become more and more complicated. Mistake In Ad May Cost Malheur County $10,000 ONTARIO, Ore., July 7. OP) John Bennett insists he wants his grazing land for S cents an acre. He has filed suit In Circuit Court demanding that Malheur County give him a deed to some 23,000 acres for $1,193. The County advertised It at that price, but it was a mistake in the decimal point should have been $11,930 or 50 cents an acre. When the County refused to give him a deed, he riled suit. The word "Almanac" Is deriv ed from the ancient Arabian words which meant "the weath er" or "climate." per writes In an article recently published in Poultry Science. "Date of sexual maturity may be determined without trapnest lng by examination of the pos terior end of the oviduct," he explained.
