Vol. XI, No. 46 Our Specialty We want to give a section of our customers some advice. Giv ing advice has always been one of our most pleasant occupa tions, ana it nas practically De coma a specialty with us. It's always free, and if you don't follow it, you haven't lost any thing. If you do follow It, and it turns out all right, we all profit The hatching egg business has come to a sorrowful pass. No body wants chlx now. Fryers don't bring tne cost oi proauc tlon In places where fryer pro ducers can't buy UMPQUA HI LO BROILER MASH. So they Just up and quit the business. Fryers are about a nine-week crop nowadays, with all this new-fangled feed, so It will be about nine weeks until the na tion will be crying for fryers, and the price should go up. Now, we aren't advising you to go Into the fryer business. If we should be wrong, you couldn't forget It In nine weeks, and you'd be on our neck. But. if we are right, your hatching eggs will be in tremen dous demand about Jan. 1st to 15th, and from then on. So why not take those hatching eggs you can't sell this week and next, and have them custom-hatched, and get ready for some early eggs next summer? It has been proved time and time again that the early chlx are the money-making egg pro ducers. They are ready to lay during late summer and early fall when eggs are scarcest and highest-priced. Besides you can flgger on about 15 months pro duction from pullets hatched In December and January, com pared to eleven or twelve from late hatched birds. As to the outlook for your making money with eggs next year, whefher you produce hatching egs or commercial. Well, it looks as good as, or bet ter than at fhls time last year. Feed prices may not drop much, since our good Uncle Sam will hold up the prices of feed grains, but still, feed shouldn't ro up, either, unless we b devalua tion, or something. And feed Is lower now than at this time last year; Besides, eggs have made a good poultryman money every year since we' can rememwi. And that's lots of years. And now that the Coast is on an Im -ort basis, the market Is better han ever. Yep, we say, "play It mart; hatch the eggs you can t nil now, and he all set for big -oflfs next fall.

In that time, a fine reputation can be Duut up, ana tnanKs.to an you good customers, we are proud of ours. Now, we have gone modern again. We have a rubber rope stretched out from each door. When you drive over it. close to the MILL, it rings a bell. The boys like to have you drive close enough to ring the bell, as they don t nave so tar to carry tne sack to your car. Besides, now tnat so many turkeys have reached a prime finish on UMPQUA TURKEY FEEDS, and have gone to mar ket, feed business isn't what it used to be. So after the boys Ret the sweeping and dusting done, they are likely to retire to the "flour room," where we keep that good UMPQUA CHIEF FLOUR, and take a nap, or may be get Into a game of dominoes. So the bell brings them out of hiding with their eyes open. We love to give good service, and that's whv we say, "Ring the bell for service." "I never felt so punk In my life." "Do any drinking last night?" "Yeah, and when I went to bed I felt fine. And now I feel terrible." "Must have been the sleep that did it." Daily Culling Some ladles make a living keeping boarders. But we never knew a poultryman to do It Oh, we know many poultrvmen who keep boarders, but what we meant is, they don't make money that way. They mostly make money In spite of keeping the boarders.

Up to Date and More Since the tremendous Increase in population in Douglas Coun ty, the DAIRY BUSINESS has come to the front as a leading industry, This in turn, has brought a demand for another type of dairy feed. Our old re liable UMPQUA MILKMAKER has been amply proved to be one of the outstanding dairy feeds In the state for years, both In quality and price. But to satisfy the demand for a new type of dairy feed, we are starting at once to manufacture a new dairy feed. This feed, like all other UMPQUA FEEDS, will be made from the same clean sweet Ingredients as all our feeds. It will be properly bal anced, strongly fortified with necessary vitamins, the highest quality proteins, and the right amount of minerals. It will be called UMPQUA DAIRY RATION, and will carry 16 protein as a guaranteed minimum. The price will be the same as UMPQUA MILKMAK ER at present, $3.75. It will be more bulky than MILKMAKER, which Is desirable in many in stances, since It will contain ROLLED barley and oats, in stead of ground grains, and will also contain beetpulp cottonseed meal, yeast and well, come In and take a gander at the formu la. Remember, all our formulas are open to the Inspection of our customers. As of Jan. 1, 1950, regular UMPQUA MILKMAKER will be Increased to a guaranteed minimum of 18 protein, to satisfy the demand for a higher protein dairy feed. As in all other UMPQUA FEEDS, the formula will be revised to in clude all the new information on feeds and feeding which has developed in the current year.

After the foreigner had given her the 4 bits, she added: "But youre the first customer that ever came up to the average." WE GUARANTEE your cow will like our new UMPQUA DAIRY RATION, and that as is always usual, you will be satis fied with our price on It. - It's quality!

' SOS Unique Christmas Tree Cutting Plan Is Inaugurated Polk county, through the Dal las Chamber of Commerce, has inaugurated an unusual Christ mas tree plan that has nation wide possibilities, according to George Spaur, acting state for ester. Spaur states that all farmers in this county having land where Christmas trees can be cut, ag reed to register with the Dallas Chamber of Commerce. The far mer is given- a sign which he places on his mail box stating ''Xmas Trees Are A vial able Here." Each store In Dallas has a list of such farmers for any prospective customers. This plan enables, people to find their Christmas trees easily and at the same time reduces the chance of wilful trespass and harmful cutting that takes place every fall all over the country. The Christmas tree plan was devel oped by BUI Dalton,' president of the Dallas Chamber of Commer ce. Spaur points out further that such farm woodlands under pro per forest management can be the means of considerable annual Income to the owner. He urges that these owners take advantage of the farm forestry service gi ven by the state forestry depart ment. Anyone interested can ob tain this assistance bv "'"ng to the state forester at Salem.

Jockseii 21,000,000 Idle Acres Said Calling For Answer In 1950 By OVID A. MARTIN Atioclated Prei Farm Reporter WASHINGTON, UP) What Is to be done with upwards of 21,000, 000 acres of idle farm land in 1950? This question Is worrying government farm officials and the owners of the land. .This acreage represents the "amount of .land which the agriculture department has asked or will ask farmers to take out of the production of cash crops. i The answer affects not only the farmers but citv workers, con sumers and taxpayers generally. The department says crop pro duction on this land about seven per cent of the total acreage har vested In recent years is no longer needed. During and since the war this land produced to meet shortage needs abroad but overseas markets are falling off as production recovers in war affected areas-. Crops for which smaller 1950 acreages are- planned Include wheat, corn, rice, cotton and potatoes. Under Its crop control and price support program the gov ernment has the means to get smaller acreages of these crops. No Cuts, No Price Support In the case of crops besides cotton, price supports can be de nied those who do not make their proportionate cut in plantings. But what is to keep the corn farmer, for example, from plant ing oats, rye, barley, soybeans or other crops on the land taken out of corn? - ' Or, what's to keep the cotton farmers from planting similar crops, including corn, on land'di vp - ?'om cotton? In other words, It would be possible to take land out of corn to prevent surplus in that crop, oniv to see it used to produce a surplus of other crops. Thus little would be gained in the gov ernment's battle against farm surpluses.

See or call us TODAYt FETT i ; ; extra acres will influence city folks. If 20,000,000 or more acres are taken out of production fewer people would be needed to oper ate farms. That could mean in creased migration of farm folks to the city to compete for jobs there. Also it could mean further re duction in farm income with accompanying reduciton in rural demand for city goods and ser vices. Or, if the land is diverted to production of surpluses In oth er crops, the taxpayer must carry the burden of government price supports. The government would like to have this extra land put into grass and pasture for greater livestock production. But it takes time to get Income from land changed from cash crops to live stock, and many farmers are unable to wait. Sash weights, window cords and pulleys were invented by the Dutch about 1650.
