Ross, OSC extension forestry specialist, in a new extension circular, No. 538, which is entitled "Windbreaks for Eastern Oregon." Conies of the new IK -nncrp rlreil. lar which details windbreak plant ing instructions through illustra tions as well as text material are available through the county ex tension office or by writing direct to the college. Examples of windbreak benefits, Ross states, include more livable be locate at right angles to temperatures and even heating throughout the home; increased animal gains from the same amount of feed, less dirt, less breakage in ornamental flowers and shrubs; less snow drifting around buildings; and increased value to the farm through better looking farmstead and fields. Ross suggests that windbreaks prevailing winds and be set in the path of the wind at least 100 feet "upwind" from buildings. It takes that much space to get beyond the dead air space that occurs Four Brooder Plans In New OSC Bulletin Construction plans for three types of home-built electric brooders de signed to handle 50, 200 and 300 chicks are presented in a new bul letin of the Oregon State college agricultural experiment station. All of the brooders use flat-top wood bovers. The small brooder for 50 chicks or fewer and the brooder for 200 chicks use electric lamps for heat. A thermo.iat is needed with the 200-chick unit but is op tional with the smaller type. The 300-chick brooder calls for a ready made kit consisting of a forced ventiliation and electric heating unit with thermostat to be installed in a home-built hover. The bulletin, No. 478, is titled "Home-Built Electric Brooders," by Dale E. Kirk, assistant agri cultural engineer. Copies are avail able free from counly agents or from the college.

De tails are included on one, two and three tree row plantings. Field mice as well as other ani mals are a source of tree planting trouble in some parts of eastern Oregon. Field mice, working under a snow cover, sometimes girdle tree trunks near the ground line. Since they ordinarily live in matted grass and fence rows, clean culti vation is one of the principal aids in controlling them. Ross suggests that new plantings be fenced if they are set out in livestock grazing areas. Watering is stopped three weeks before frost is expected in the fall so the young trees in a windbreak can "harden off" to withstand cold weather. IJune Top Month '.mm m ror Layer Loss; Culling Is Urged June Is the peak month for death losses among laying hens in their first year of lay. Average mortality in laying hens, says Noel L. Bennion, OSC exten sion poultry specialist, reaches a peak during May, June and July. The death loss in first year laying hens, reaching a peak in June, is the result of gradual building up of disorders that reach a climax during this period. Birds going light and disorders of the reproductive system are two ot the main death causes at this season. Low producing hens, Bennion adds, also start to molt during the months of May, June and July. These hens are best culled since producers cannot afford to feed molting birds. . Early molters are easily identi fied. As they go out of produc tion, their combs and wattles shri vel. Abdomens contract and pig ment gradually returns to beak and shanks. Feathers also begin to drop out. Bennion states that cull hens will bring considerable more money if they are marketed as soon as they show signs of going out of production. They lose considerable weight and become covered with pin feathers as the molt proceeds. Secretary Brannan Defends Position Of U.S. Farmer Nursery Storage, Hardiness Among Items At Meeting Storage problems relating to nur sery stock will be among topics discussed during the forthcoming two-day meeting of the Oregon As sociation of Nurserymen to be held on the OSC campus June 15 and 16, it has been announced by Mike Dering, Scappoose rose grower and association president. The convention is scheduled to get underway at 10-00 Thursday morning, June 15 with a welcom ing address by R. S. Besse, as sociate director, OSC agricultural experiment station. All general sessions will be held in the cam pus memorial union building. I In charge of program arrange- ments is A. N. Roberts, OSC hort t iculture department staff mem ber. He states that Dr. U. G. Du- bach, political science professor, Lewis and Clark college, Fort land, and formerly dean of men at OSC, will be featured banquet speaker. The dinner meeting will be held in the downtown Benton hotel starting at 6:30 Thursday evening, June 15. Dr. S. M. Dietz, head, depart ment of botany and plant patho logy, will be banquet toastmastcr. The discussion on nursery stock storage problems will include the five OSC speakers, Henry Hart- man, head, horticulture depart ment, Koy Young, plant patholo gist; w. ti. Martin, mechanical en gineering professor; and R. G. Rosenstiel, entomogist. Dr. E. J. Kraus, horticultural consultant at OSC will discuss win ter hardiness in plants, Following his discussion, the following asso ciation members will discuss win ter hardiness observations made during the past winter. Speakers and top is assigned each are; Fay ette Weedin, Fairview, decideous fruits; John Wieman, state de partment of agriculture, bulbs, and from Portland, Jim Doty, broad leaf evergreens; Max Horand, co nifers; Fred Borsch, perennials; and Henry Hausch, roses. Program for the second day, will consist of a field trip to examine reasons for selecting "Good prices are of little im portance to a farmer who is un able to produce anything to sell." This point was emphasized by Secretary of Agriculture Charles F. Brannan addressing the na tional conference of the Federal Crop Insurance corporation at Den ver recently. The meeting was at tended by Production and Mar keting administration farmer com mitteemen and State FCIC Direc tors. From Oregon the following attended: ts. Harvey Miller, chair man of the Oregon State PMA committee; John Shepherd, state committeeman; C. F. Lawson, state ollice crop insurance speci alist; and s. v. bmnn, assistant secretary of the Linn county PMA committee. The secretary pointed out that all other "constructive efforts to ward agricultural stability still leave a gap unfilled the gap of crop tauure. While declaring that national in terest is rightly centered on farm price supports at the present time, he explained that crop insurance and price supports have distinct but related roles in the Depart ment of Agriculture's overall ef forts for agricultural stability. Both assist farmers toward main taining "a reasonable stable in come at a fair level a leval which is equitable to farmers and in the best interest of the other economic groups within our popu lation. Both are needed to keep the rest of the nation's econcomy sound." Secretary Brannan also review ed how agricultural research, farm credit programs, conservation, ru ral electrification, production gui dance, marketing assistance, and 11 of the department's educa tion efforts contribute to the "com mon purpose" of economic stability in agriculture. But. he said, ."even the most ef ficient farmer, making the best possible use of the results of agri cultural research and practicing the most approved conservation methods, is always subject to whims of the weather. Such forces of nature as drought, flood, hurri cane, and freeze are beyond his control. 4-H Clubbers Meet Tuesday On OSC Campus Youngsters between the ages of 2 and 21 will predominate on the OSC campus for a 10-day period beginning Tuesday, June 13, as the 35th annual 4 It club summer school gets underway for 1,800 enrollees.

Family Farm Returns Dip,Mon., June 12, 1930 Tht Nawi-Rftview, RoMburf Or But Still Above Pre-War On IS important types of com mercial family operated farms, farm returns in 1549 began to de cline generally for the first time since the beginning of the war, says the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. However, returns were still from two to five times higher thai in the prewar period 1937-41. Prices received for farm prod ucts on these farms were lower in 1949 than in 1948. Prices paid by farmers for goods and services used in production, on the other hand, continued to rise; of these expenses, only wage rates and prices paid for feed declined slightly. On various types or farms, op erators' returns In 1943 were as follows: on dairy farms, an aver age of about $1,000 less than in 1948, but almost three times the prewar average; on Corn Belt farms, an average from $1,600 to $3,100 less per farm; en spring wheat farms, the lowest in several years; on cattle ranches, lower than in 1948 and 1947, but still three times the prewar average; on cotton farms, considerably var ied among areas, with operators of Southern Plains, and Black Prai rie cotton farms receiving tne high est returns on record and opera tors of Mississippi Delta cotton (arms receiving the lowest return since 1941, Allotments For 1951 Wheat Acreage Ordered Wheat acreage allotments will be in effect for the 1951 wheat crop according to word received by J. F, Bonebrake, county PMA chairman, from the Department of Agriculture at Washington, D.C. The legislation under which wheat acreage allotments are established requires that they be proclaimed each year by the Secretary of Ag riculture unless a national emer gency exists. The chairman explains that each year the national allotment is based on the estimated needs for the coming year after making allow ance for the sunni" ot wheat on hand on July 1, 180. research work underway on the OSC experiment station.

Have Your Car Repaired Today Pay On Convenient Budget Terms I HANSEN UATAD m I IIIVIVIX VVi I Oak t Stephens Phens 446 I Lower Prices May Drop Farmers Net Income With lower prices this year and only a slight decline in costs, farmers' net income in 1950 is likely to be considerably less than the 13.8 billion dollars realized last year. Latest reports by the Depart ment of Agriculture predict that farmers' cash receipts from mar ketings this year may total around 25 billion dollars, compared with 27.5 billion received last year. This drop will result primarily from lower average prices; farmers will sell more livestock this year but fewer crops. Total gross farm in come will decline only a little less than cash receipts. Farm production costs will be al most as high in 1950as in 1949. Ex penditures for hired labor may de cline about S percent, with em ployment and wage rates both down slightly, Smaller amounts of fertilizer will probably be bought at slightly lower prices. Rents also are expected to decline. Practically all other cost items are likely to equal or exceed last yeear's. FARMALL- the Key to Better Farming formalf-H-the Farmall power unlocks the treasure house of increased production. It is the key to better, more profitable farming.
