f Shade Without Crowding Essential For Turkeys During Summer Weather Turkeyi need shade to protect them from direct rays o the sun during hot weather, reminds Noel Bennlon, O. S. C. extension poul try specialist. If range shelters are used, enough are required to shade all birds without crowding. Bennlon suggests that shelters be placed fairly close together In order that birds will not attempt to crowd under one shelter while others go unused. Turkey deaths have occurred from crowding un der a small amount of shade. Good management practice calls for finishing market turkeys in the shortest time possible. Feed requirements to produce a pound of gain gradually Increase with age of birds. For the entire feeding season, for example, feed requirements on ;a pound of gain basis will average four to five pounds. It varies by type of ration, quality of stock and amount of green feed available, Bennlon explains. After turkevs have reached sev en months of age. however, 10 to 12 pounds or mora of feed are required to produce a pound ot gain. Keen saxes (maratee Some advantage is shown In keeping toms and nens separat ed. On the average, hens reach maturity and are ready for mar ket two to three weeks earlier than toms. Too freouently, Ben ion states, mature hens are held until the toms are ready for market, thus, Increasing produc tion costs. Keeping sexes separated also reduces feather picking and the number of blue backs lound. Blue backs result from hens pick ing at the toms while they are strutting. Regardless of the management systems followed. Bennlon sug gests that fast growing birds be topped from the flock as they reach maturity. This is because all birds will not reach maturity on tne same date. 33 Counties Now y Share In Oregon's Big Seed Income A statistical summary of Ore gon's expanding seed crop indus try Is included In a new exten sion bulletin, number 69, "Ore. con's Seed Crops. 1936-47," which through county extension offices or by writing direct to O.S.C. The bulletin, prepared by the O.S.C extension service agricul tural economics section, states that 33 of Oregon's 36 counties produce commercial quantities o! seed. Oregon raises about 75 per cent of the nation's hairy vetch, and almost all the common and Willamette vetch. Oregon also supplies almost all of the nation's common and perennial ryegrass seed. The 56-page bulletin contains 71 tables including county and state totals for all major crops harvested for seed. Production, average farm price and cash re ceipts from farm marketings are also included for many of the seed crops. . Cash receipts from Oregon seed crops averaged $3,681,000 for the years 1936 through 1939. With a rising price curve, and In creased production, cash receipts averaged $9,742,000 for the years 190 through 1944. By 1946, total cash receipts from farm market ings of Oregon seed crops ex ceeded $17,700,000. fotato Industry Now looms In Baker County BAKER--W) An Industry which Is less than ten years old here the growing of potatoes now looms as one of this coun ty's most valuable crops with re - turns up to a quarter of a mil lion dollars expected from It this yeas.

Apple, Pear Cost Figures Studied For Hood River It cost farmers In the Hood River valley an average of $72.31 'xt ton to produce Rirtlctt pears for canning, according to a re port on cost of producing apples and pears in that vallev Just pub lished by the O.S.C. experiment station. Purchase offers this year are reported below this. Kruit growers, processors and the branch station there joined in a request to the slate colleg-? that a survey be made of costs. Detailed cost records were col lected from 25 typical fruit farms in the valley. Cost of producing apples was found to average 87 cents per loose box or $1.39 on a packed box basis, but exclusive of pack ing and storage costs. With pack ing, storage and handling charg es the K.O.B. cost is $2.64 per packed box or more, the study showed. Cost of producing winter pears In 24 orchards averaged $1.20 per parked box basis, exclusive of nacking and storage costs. With these added the F.O.B. coat would be $2.45 or more. Among the orchard production Items the most expensive single item in apple and cannery pear production prior to harvest was trHnning. This averaged $43 per acre in 1948 for apples and $24 per acre for Hartley Dears. For winter pears, on the other hand. It was only six cents per acre In 19-18.

Mew., Aug. 8, 1949 The Newt-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Feeding Of Wood Sugar Molasses To Livestock, Poultry Shown At O. S. C. Good progress with experi ments on feeding wood sugar mo lasses to poultry and livestock at the Oregon Experiment sta tion ' was reported to George Hunt, director of the U. S. For est Products laboratory at Madi son, Wis., when he made his first visit to the O. S. C. campus late in July. The feeding experiments are a cooperative project involving the federal laboratory at Madison, which makes the wood molasses out of Douglas fir sent east from Oregon, the Oregon forest pro ducts laboratory at O. S. C, and the agricultural experiment sta tion. Hunt was told by men In the animal husbandry and poultry departments that tioth hoes and chickens fed the wood molasses in varying proportions were com paring favorably with those on standard rations. Successful feed ing of dairy heifers with the wood molasses had been previous ly demonstrated at the college. ine visitor was also tavoraDiv Impressed with the general lay out and equipment of the forest products laboratory. He said It is designed and equipped to han dle research problems of particu lar vame to tms region, it Is Intended to supplement and not duplicate the work done at the national 1 laboratory, explained Dean Paul M. Dunn, director of the laboratory.- While the experimental wood sugar molasses is being made in a pilot plant at Madison, west ern supplies In commercial quan. lilies would be available If the Springfield plant for making al eohol from wood waste Is put Into production. Making the mo lr.sses is an Intermediate step in converting wood waste to alcohol. Some 1.500 tons of steel wire were sold annually for hoop sklrte when they were the fa shion In 1860-70.
