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

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.

favorable weather plus extensive

OREGON STATE COLLEGE
For the tenth consecutive year
students attending college under
the Daly fund scholarships of
Lake county have made a grade
point average exceeding that ot
the student body as a whole, Dr.

Last year 25 of the 39 Dalv

State, of whom three were grad

their institutions later.
Dr. Atwood's annual report
showed that In the 27 years Lake
county high school graduates
have been granted scholarships,
229 different Individuals have at
tended O.S.C. of whom 94 have
been graduated so far. In the

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.

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
