Llndgren points out that It has been customary to ship feeder lambs and cattle to other areas for finishing despite the fact that surplus feed wheat has been fre quently available. Experimental results at the college showed that wheat is equal to cern and barley for fattening hogs. It requires about 715 pounds of wheat to fatten a 30 pound feeder pig to a 200 pound market weight. With wheat as well as other grains, protein supplements tankage, fish meal, or some other high protein concentrate is re quired to make the proper bal- General Logging Supplies 0 Skookum Blocks 0 Mall Power Saws Lincoln Welders 0 Coos King Donkey 0 Wire Rope 0 Waco Wheel Arch Dissron Power Saws 0 Lincoln Welding Rod , Expert Sled Builder Available Anytime Splicing and Ferrule Work Expert Saw Mechanic PITCO of ROSEBURG, Ltd.

C. agri cultural experiment station this winter as part of a new research project on the design and con struction of functional work dresses. Requested by the State Home Economics Extension council, the research project is aimed at de veloping better designed and bet ter constructed work dresses. Mrs. Clara Edaburn, associate home economist, is project leader with Mrs. MaNette Frazler as research assistant. To find out what Oregon home makers want in the way of work dress design and construction, questionnaires are being mailed to various housewives throughout the state. Homemakers are asked to give their opinions on such items as best sleeve length, desira bility of belts and buttons, and faults they have noted in the con srucion of ready-made dresses. Later on, housewives will be observed at work in their home by Mrs. Edaburn and Mrs. Frazler as a means of finding what parts of the dress get the most wear and strain during the normal household tasks requiring bend ing, reaching, etc. Another phase of the program calls for the home economists to make fleure type descriptions as a means of better adapting dress designs to women of various pro Dortions. Most of the dresses and dress patterns now available on the market are designed primari ly for young women with "ideal figures and are not suitable for mature figures, Mrs. Edaburn explains. Dresses of various designs and for various figure types will be made on the basis of these find ings and will be sent to from six to 12 selected homemakers for six month wearing tests. The home makers will mail the dresses to the home economics department for laundering and ironing to in sure uniformity in that phase of test work. It is planned that the test dresses will be on display at the June 1950 meeting of the State Home Economics Extension coun cil. Once the final designs have been approved, the patterns will be made available to commercial pattern companies and dress manufacturers. ance between carbohydrates and proteins. , Llndgren says wheat may be used satisfactorily to fatten lambs and cattle. It will require about 800 pounds of ground wheat to put a 650 pound yearling feeder steer at market weight. The wheat is best fed with hay. Use of good alfalfa pasture dur ing ,the fattening period will reduce grain requirements as much as 25 to 30 percent and animals will grade higher at market time, the specialist em phasizes. 1 ' Copies of the bulletin are avail able through county extension of fices or by writing direct to Ore gon State college.

Survey Of Nut ' Orchards To Give Real Tree Count Plans for: an Industry wide walnut and filbert survey have' been announced to Inform grow ers of the number and variety of trees now planted in Oregon as well as to provide a basis for estimating production during the next few years. While the survey is underway In Oregon, similar work will be conducted in Washington. Growers will be contacted by mall, according to M. D. Thom as, O. S. C. extension agricultur al economist, who is cooperating with Niels I. Nielsen, agricultur al statistician for the federal crop reporting service In Portland, in carrying out the survey. Sur vey details will be announced at a later date. The work is being made poss ible by funds provided by the federal research and marketing act, and through efforts of John E. Trunk, manager, Northwest Nut Growers cooperative, who is a member of the national tree nut advisory committee. Last comprehensive survey of the Pacific northwest nut industry was carried out 15 years ago. Since that date, the acreage of walnuts and filberts has been stepped up sharply. Consequently there is little information upon which to develop industry mar keting plans, Trunk points out. J. A. Ormandy To Retire From Post With S.P.

Automatic tractor hitches by use of which the tractor operator can both hitch or unhitch Imple ments without leaving his seat will save time as Well as reduce the possibility of accidents, savs M. G. Huber, O. S. C, extension agricultural engineer. The automatic release safety hitch used on many tractor plows, or any of the quick release hitches which are available, can be readily adapted, he suggests. These must be bolted securely lo the tractor drawbar. Huber suggests that the tractor drawbar be shortened a few in ches so the jaw of the hitch will be in .the same position as the original hole, in the tractor draw bar. Then a heavy steel ring or U loop is rigidly attached to each implement used with the tractor. Thus it is possible to '.itch or un hitch any implement so equipped by using a hook long enough to reach the ground from the trac tor seat. , Many farmers are Injured each year by hitching and unhitching machines from their tractors, the specialist points out . Scientists have kept accurate records of sunspots since 1749.
