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

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

han ever. Yep, we say, "play It

Rina the Bell
UMPQUA FEEDS have been
ringing the bell with Douglas
County farmers for considerably
over a half century. 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. And It takes a couple
working hens to pay the board
of each loafer.

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.

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.

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.

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.
