ROSEBURG GRANGE SUPPLY 222 Sprues Vol. XI, No. 41 Death ond Taxei The most Interesting and probably the most discouraging and unpopular newi of the past week was Mr. President's an nouncement that he would ask for higher taxes for next year. Not sui prising news; Just dis heartening. The President was right In one statement. You can't dance without having to pay the fid dler. Our forefathers found that out centuries ago. So, w hen a lot of money Is appropriated hy Congress, It has to be dug up and paid, some way or other, or else the good old U. S. A. could go belly-up. Just the same as Joe Doakos, when he doesn't, or can't pay his obligations. The President has consistently asked for more spending money, and our good congressmen, democrats and republicans alike have said "No, No! We must have economy in government." Then they have appropriated the full amount asked in most rases, except where they hiked it up a few billion bucks. Take for Instance, the KRP. IRuip! Excuse please.) The economy . minded copgi-esstncn were going to pare It a quarter billion or so. What did they wind up doing? You guessed it the first time. Thev boosted It! And our good Kngllsh friends aKe tne Marshall money ana buy Canadian wheat, ifor which we don't cuss them too much, even though we have a huge surplus), and Rusisan lumber, (for which we hate their guts). Rut the latest blunder, which will cost Oregon poultry, tur key, hog and dairy farmers mil lions of extra dollars on their rsportlve feed hills, was to to- aln the 90" r narltv cuarantre on basic commodities. This means that wheat, the main grain crop of the entire Pacific Northwest will continue to be oo high priced to use In feeds. And the C. C. C a Federal Spending Agency, is buying mil- tons or nusncis of this line feed grain for shipment some place. I usi any place, to cot It out of he countrv. so there will be room enough to store the ID.SO crop, which will he big, be cause the tiuvment will guaran- a nign enough mice to en courage a big crop. There was the Aiken hill. nrn. Iding a sliding scale of cuaran. eed prices for b.tsir citins. A iicpuniiran mil. 'therefore, no good. Then Mr. Clinton Ander son got up a bill very much like A Democratic bill. It wasn't ny good, either. No. election Is coming up in a few months. So our good congressmen flggorod It better to guarantee larmen witn tne biggest block Herd Problem Of Iditlnn of a cow's udder which re sults In stringy, .lakey, watery or thickened milk.

Oft repeated questions are: "Is mastitis contagious? What causes II?" Answer to the first question Is an unqualified "yes."

Which means that the President got his requested 90',- of parity. And the surpluses will continue piling up, but wheat will be too nigh priced In Oregon to be us ed for feeding chickens, the principal use for generations. And the wage earner will ask for more wages, because his liv ing will cost more. But who pays the fiddler? The poor for. gotten taxpaver, of course. Who else would! it Is deducted from the worker's pay envelope. It Is paid out of the 'grocer's and the butcher's profits, hut added to his selling price. It is paid nut of the Steel and Coal companies' and the automobile makers' margin, hut added tn the cost of all the things we buy. We have only one question to ask? When will It stop? And the answer is equally simple When the American people decide they've had enough. Sheep Cubes Winter Is starting early. We hope, i honestly), that we won't have to sell quite as manv of loose good I'MPQL'A SHKKP ClUES as we did last year. Even though they were a first class Investment, and paid well. But hay Is scarce all over the country. We mean, of course, our part of It. Even east of the mountains, hay is hard to buy. It Is possible many are holding hav. rather than get caught with their -supply- down, like last year. If the weather breaks, hay may become plentiful. Hut In that event you won t need It. So why don't vou keep vour sheep In jood condition. A 'bait of Sheep C'jhes everv dav, and they will do well on the washy grass, even if you are short on hay. We know that those sheep men w ho ued L' M P Q I' A SHEEP Cl'HES last year sold more fat lambs, and made more money than those who tried to skimp thru without feeding. And had more sheep left this season, ion rani go wrong on feeding anvthing well If it isn't worth feeding well, better get no oi ii. The kid wrote home from col. lege. "Pad. you call ouielf a kind father. Yet, sou haven't sent me a check for a month. What kind of kindness do vou call that?" To which Pad wro'e hark: 'That! unremitting kindness, son." Hi-Lo Down Yes.

Not Good For Humans Milk from Infected cows is not good for human consumption. It may, however, he fed to calves if care Is takm to see that calve do not suckle each other and transmit the bacteria to their mammary glands. Milking mach ines are a frequent source jf mastitis Infection when thry are allowed to run on cows longer than necessary. Time require ment for machine milking wi l average about four minutes. Feeling that mastitis preven tion is more Important than cure, Kwalt has this five step control program: one prevent udder 1 n J juries; two. test for mastitis at least four times yearly if the dis ease Is prcvolent; three, scgreg.ne Infected animals and milk them last; four, use a chlorine solution to wash udders, another one In which to dip teat cups; and five, practice clean, rapid milking.

Such a price reduction would be possible If the Agriculture de partment decides to carry out tentative plans to lower price guarantees to poultrymen. Top quality eggs are selling for as much as K0 cents a dozen etail In some areas, officials said. The department la required by law to support producer prices at 90 percent of parity until Jan. 1. Parity Is a price standard set ny law designed to he eoually fair to farmers and those who buy his products. But the riepailmenf may lower the support to 75 percent of par ity after the first of the year.

Non-Removable Shields Add To Tractor Safety Farm machinery manufactur er! are now initiating steps toi save operators trotn their own carelessness by adding nonre movable power take-off shields to their equipment, reports M. G. Iluher, O. S. C. extension agri cultural engineer. The new shields may he opened for servicing and inspection of the power shaft, hut it would ie quire special cutting tools to re move them entirely. Rapidly revolving power take off shafts are an ever-present ac cident hazard, yet many .'aimers fail to keep the standard remov able shield in place. It is a nui sance, many believe. Originally, manufacturers felt that the shields would be more conven ient if they were removable. New shields are being con structed with a hoop around the pipe connection between the unl vcisal joint, or otherwise perma nently attached so they cannot be removed. The new shields are de signed expressly to reduce mach inery accidents on farms. Bud Moth Is Raiding Prunes In California BKRKKI.KY. Calif. I.P) Public Enemy No. 1 around Cal ifornia prune orchards is getting to be the eye-spotted hud moth. Hr. Harold F. Madsen of the Uni versify of California has been keeping tabs on this hug that has been sabotaging half the crop in some orchards. Madsen says that In the larval stage it ties a leaf to a prune, then crawls under and feeds In the shade. The fruit exudes sap j It) S.OO.t j ii i which eemements the leaf to 1 1 and makes it a cull. The moth long has fed on New England and Canadian apples. Madsen says it emigrated to Cal ifornia only ten years go and has tried apricots and peaches, w hich It doesn't like, pear! which it win tolerate, and apples, cher- les and prunes, which it likes best. He found DDT worked hest against It. There are almost 42.000 locomo tives in service on U. S. rail roads. WINDOWS DOORS FRAMES PAGE LUMBER A FUEL 164 E. 2nd Ave. S.

F. Bonebrake, chairman of the County ACA committee. The roots hold the soil particles to gether and soak up moisture. The vegetative cover protects the soil from the bombardment of rain drops holds back the water so that more of it ran soak into the soil, and provides a protective screen for loosened soil particles. Tests Indicate that on sloping land where from 25 to 30 tons of top-soil per acre is washed awuy on land in row crops, less than a half a ton is lost from land pro tected by sod. It is for this reas on, the chairman points out, that some sloping land should be kept In sod all or most of the time. Sod is also one of the best pro tections for the outlets of ter races. If the water accumulated back of a terrace can be emptied out onto a good sod waterway, there is little danger of starting a gully. But if there is no protec tion, the terrace may help pro duce gullies instead of prevent them. Waterways may he sodded by seeding or by bringing in sod to the location. To protect the wa terways, plows and other tillage tools should be lifted when cross ing the waterway. Since the Ag ricultural Conservation Program provides assistance to establish and maintain sod, the chairman urges all farmers to check on lo cally approved practices at the county P.MA office at 321 Pacif'c building, Roseburg.
