Yet, we won't alter the advice dished up six weeks ago. Things might change again In another week. At present It looks like the Guvment would have an army of 3,500,000 men before the 1951 crop of turkeys will hit Ihe mar ket. And I'ncle has always fed the boys lots of turkey. In 11950 more turkeys were raised than the previous year, yet indications are Ihiit storage goods will bo much less, sea sonally, than last year. Guv ment now predicts an overall increase of 1 percent in the 1951 crop over 1950. However, many of the birds will be of the mid get type, and it is anticipated millions will be sold during the summer as fryers. This might cut the tonnage of holiday and army birds below Inst year. Then there is the pos sibility that the breeding flock may not be larje enough to furnish as many poults as will be desired. Also, this possibil ity mny he wishful thinking. The wise guys predict that red meats will skyrocket, mak ing turkey mem attractive to the harassed housewife trying to make the "frozen" paycheck limber up enough to stretch around food, clothes and the higher taxes requested by our Harry. They also predict that feed prices will go higher. Will "hit the ceiling," in fact. Who knows where is the ceiling? And Sec. Uranium, bless his heart, has promised there will be no Cilivment supporters on turkeys. A very encouraging sign, to say the least. Prediction is that Oregog will harvest less turkeys by 5 per. cent than last year. We look for about the same number to be raised in Douglas founty, but could be far off base. Noth ing is certain except sure death and high taxes. If we intended lo r;iisf tur keys, we would be getting in our order for poults, and if we had eggs, we would be assuring our selves of space in some good hatchery. It is conceivable that shortages may develop over night In both supply ami space. And we'd hate lo be disap pointed if we really intended lo tnko another shot at the game. Brooder HOuso Litter Some good growers are going lo brouk dux and poults on the same Inter they used Inst year. It's a tine idea, provided it is kept dry. May even be better than new Inter. Vet, some of us old timers like to start all over every year. So if you quality as one of us old timers, just traipse down to the Mill. We have I whole car load of nice dry peatmoss. We can fix you proper. It will prob ably cost you less than most other places in the long run. . School Lunch Should Be Hot And With Milk Winlrr lunch boxes, carried to work or lo school on cold, frosty require "something extra" if they are to keep their owners in good health and good spirits, according to Miss Agnes Kolshorn, extension nutrition specialist at Oregon Slate college. "Make it hot and make it with milk" is her advice. Since milk is essential lo a good hot diet, she suggests hot. choco late as a filler fur the thermos. A hot, tasty cream soup or milk chowder is also easily carried in the same way, and will give the warmlh and satisfaction needed to complete a lunch of sandwiches and fruit or crisp raw vegetables.

The 2nd V.P. and the 3rd V.P. also confessed to a bit of smooching. But when the book keeper was put on the carpet, he answered: "Heck. No! I don't even like her!" "Fine, fine! old man.

Beware Of Coxey Unless you feed UMI'QUA CHICK STAHTKK or 111 - 1.0 BltOII.KK RATION', cocculiosis is likely to take a big clunk out of your profits. Your No. 1 public enemy in the chicken bus iness is Coxey. Customers of Ihe T)ou;las Flour Mill encountered prac tically NO coxey last year, and we can promise you the same this season. When you prevent coxey you have gone far to wards insuring tc,i production of meal or eggs from your flock.

Thus it will be clear that immunity must be established if Ihe poultrynian is to have good production and good feed ulilialinn. We have definitely proved on many thousand chix in Douglas County that immun ily can he established without harm to the chicken, and one of (he poultryman's worst enemies Higher Costs Seen Outlook Mostly Favorable For Oregon Fruits, Nuts Production costs will be high in 1951 but the market outlook for Oregon fruit crop is mostly favor- ! able, according to the latest agri ' cultural situation and outlook re port issued by the Oregon State college extension service. Oipies of the report are, available from county extension offices or the college. Prices of some kinds of fruits and nuts may be lower than in 1050 but strong demand will prob ably keep incomes of most Ore gon growers from falling. Real incomes may not increase much because costs of things farmers buy are now the highest ever and will increase further. Labor short ages may be a serious problem, too, according to the report. Oregon's berry acreage is now larger than at the start of World War II and about two-thirds larger than at the 1944 low point, OSC economist believe the acreage is is about as large as warranted by present market and labor pros pects. Strawberry Carryover The January carryover of frozen strawberries was the largest ever recorded in this country. This situation contrasts sharply with th small stocks a year ago. Straw berry production increased sharply in 19.rU, particularly in California and Michigan. Blackcap raspberry production has also expanded greatly but the acreage of boysen type berries has declined. The filbert and walnut market is likely to be less favorable than for the 1!IM crop, unless imports are reduced by the uncertain intcr- To Buy, Lit or Sell Real Ettata See UNITED REALTY Arthur U.

For Your Convenience We want you lo watch out for a GRAND OPKNING Soon, this gala affair will be i n the center of the "South Ware house" at the Douglas County Flour Mill. Many of you have already noted the room we are building. The rest of you can't help see ing it next time you come in. We intend to put in a little stork of hardware for the con venience of our customers. Not a huge slock, and not a wide variety, but just most of the stuff you need from week to week. Nails, forks, sl.tivels, small tools of many kinds, and, in fact you will be surprised lo find so many of your needs can be filled while you arc buy ing your feed. This Utile store will save you many a trip bark up town. Be sure and watch for it. Witness, (to attorney) "He said you were a sculptor, but should bathe oftener." Attorney, (scowling); "Give me his exact words." Witness; (hesitatingly); "well he says you're a dirty chiselcr." Production Costs It is said that with broilers and turkeys feed represents ap proximately two thirds of your total cost. With chicken eggs, feed is about half and uilh tur key eggs about two fifths. It therefore becomes clear that Ihe cost of your feed, qual ity considered, is the thing you must welch closest. UMI'QUA FKF.DS are produced at your door, and theretore can he sold to you at a lower cost than feed which must be shipped lain dretls of miles by rail. The quality of UMI'QUA FFF.DS needs no further men lion, as it is used by so many people, that satisfaction must be taken for granted. Another feature in production is palat alnlity of feed. The hetler it taes the more your birds or animals eat. And the more they eat. tl faster they grow. I'alabbility is lowered rap idlv as feed becomes old and stale. UMI'QUA KF.F.DS are; not stored in warehouses shipped months ahead of the lime they will be fed. They practically go from the mixer to your car or truck. Your own palate will tell you that fuh food tastes better. W ' national situation. A chart in the report points out that the future of the Oregon filbert industry de pends greatly on how soon and how much the domestic in-shell market expands. Demand is expected to be strong for all of the good quality apples, and peaches produced in Oregon in 1951 Prices of sweet cherries, pears, and prunes depend greatly upon the size of the crops. Church Institute Draws Support OREGON STATE COLLEGE Five additional statewide organ izations were listed as co-sponsors of the Leadership institute for town and country churches at a recent meeting held to plan the fifth annual institute at Oregon State college next July 10 to 13. Twelve different denominations were represented at last year's institute, sponsored by Oregon State college in cooperation with the Oregon Council of Churches, the Archdiocese of Portland i n Oregon and the Home Missions Council of North America. New co-sponsors of this year's institute will be the Oregon State Grange, Oregon Farm Bureau, Farmers Union, State Home Economics Extension coun cil and Ihe Oregon Council o f Church Women. L. R. Ureithaupt, extension ag ricultural economist, and Dr. E. W. Warrington, professor of relig ion and philosophy at O. S. C, have been named as co-chairmen of the institute. Other committee chair men include Dr. C. Warren Hov land, O. S. C, program; Rev. Carl Samuelson, Corvallis; Rev. Gilbert B. Christian. Oregon Coun cil of Churches, and Rt. Rev. Ab bott Damian Jentges, Mt. Angel. Attendance; W. M. Langan, O.S.C arrangements; Fred M. Shideler, O.S.C, publicity and R. H. Dann, O. S. C., scholarships and awards. Dr. Christian reported that 30 rural churches have entered the rural church improvement contest for which Sears-Roebuck Founda tion is offering $1050 in prizes. Awards will be made at this year' institute Testing Advised For Dairy Profit Which dollar sprat by the dairy man brings him the greatest bene fit? It's the money spent for produc tion testing, according to H. P. Ewalt, Oregon State college ex tension dairy specialist who added thai only 12 percent of Oregon's dairy cows are now being tested. Apparently, too many dairymen can't be bothered or say they can't. In answering the question "why test?", Ewalt said it is a means of increasing the net return from dairying. Net return is increased by good management based on ac tual production figures. Testing, said Kwalt, permits dairying with fewer cows, lower feed cost per production unit, more milk for market from few cows, and more net profit per cow. It has been demonstrated many times that culling low producers and feeding the remainder of the nerd better will meet he need for more milk and at the same time proide more income, the specialist said. One Oregon dairy-; man, for example, reduced his j herd 50 percent on the basis of his lest figures; yet his net return j was greater than it was previously. ; CUTS BUTTER SUPPLY WASHINGTON l.P) Families with more money to spend are buying more milk with the result that (here is less of it available for the manufacture of dairy prod ucts, according to a report by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics of the department of Agriculture. The report stales that butter production has fallen about 20 per cent in the past year, and cheese about 10 percent.

Market Hog, Carcass Show Slated For March Note to swine growers; Start eyeing your market hogs with the idea of making an entry in the sixth annual Oregon market hog an carcass show. The dates haven't been set yet, but word from Harry Lindgren, Oregon State college extension an imal husbandry specialist, indi cates the Oregon Swine Growers will again sponsor a show. It will most likely be held late in March, and the site for the live hog show ing will be the state fairgrounds, Salem. . Reason for his early announce ment is to give swine growers ad vance notice in order that they can save hogs for the event. Classes are expected to be the same as last year by any one exhibitor, one pen of three, one hog of which may be entered as a single. Entries will be judged alive. Three days later carcasses and primal cuts will also be judged. I Awards will be based on live and 'carcass appearance. Purpose of the annual show is to indicate to swine producers the I type of market hog in demand. National 4-H Club I Center Purchased i Purchase of a 4-H club center j in Washington, D. C, which will I also be available for use by other farm groups, has been announced I by F. L. Ballard, associate direc j tor, Oregon State college extension I service, who served as a member i of the national committee which aproved pure! se of the site. Formerly the Chevy Chase Jun ior college, the new 4-H club center ! is located six miles from the heart i of Washington and contains build- ings and recreational facilities on j 10-acre native wooded site. Sale I price was $361,000. Ballard said I business management of the new 1 4-H center will be in the hands of j the National 4-H club foundation trustees, the organization which This organization was formed in 1950 to receive bequests for ad vancement of 4-H club work. The committee on which Ballard served was made up of represen tatives of the Association of Land Grant Colleges. The new 4-H club center in the nation's capital will serve as head quarters for the National 4-H club camp, an annual encampment of 4-H clubbers in Washington, D. C, which was in danger of being dis continued because of housing dif ficulties. Remade Coats Possible From Old Fur Garments A worn out fur coat needn't be tOS.Sed awav a a Mmnlola L says Miss Lucy Lane, extension clothing specialist at Oregon State rollege. She suggests using the fur to make an interlining for the cloth coat. Any particularly good pieces of the fur can be re used for sma revere collars on Ihe fabric coai. If enough fur remains in good condition, fur cuffs can be added which will provide an extra bid of dash as well as cleverly hide worn places on the cuffs of the cloth coat. Because sewing with fur is a technical and highly-skilled job, Miss Lane advises taking this work to a reliable furrier for the best results. Even with the expense of professional help6, a warm, stylish coat can be created this way from two worn coats at a thrifty saving. milk for butter and cheese manu facture is expecle to keep on dwindling.

UMPQUA TRACTOR CO. 12S S&ilTHPINf Planting Guides Set For '51 Crops WASHINGTON (Pt Secre tary of Agriculture Brannan has j set the 1951 acreage planting1 guides lor major crops. The guides are designed to help steer farmers on the production pattern needed to meet food and fiber demands under the defense program. They have as their aim, he said, the highest feasible levels of pro duction for corn, wheat, cotton and rice. To achieve this, there will have to be some cutbacks in such crops as soybeans, oats, grain sorghums and flaxseed, he said, because planting space is limited. Brannan previously had lifted all production controls for corn, wheat and rice. The only crops re maining under controls are pea nuts and major types of tobacco. The secretary urged farmers to continue production of livestock at high levels, but he did not set any specific goals. The guides which were out lined at a news conference com pared as follows with last year's planted acreage, include: Corn at least 90,000,000 and 84, 370,000; oats 43,500.000, and 46,642, 000; barley 13.235,000 and 13, 235.000; spring wheal 21,400,000 and 15,502,000. Southern States Up Cattle Output CHICAGO (Pi Production of cattle in seven southern states increased by 300.000 head in the basic herds of beef cows from 1945 to 1950, the Corn Bjeit Live stock Feeders association has been told. Henry H. Leveck, professor of animal husbandry at Mississippi State college, told the association convention that cattle production increased in Georgia, Florida, Ken tucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mis sissippi and Louisiana. Leveck said "This is by far the largest increase in numbers of any section of the country." He said the increase is made up largely of cattle in the English breeds, with Ihe exception of Flor ida, where the Brahma "crosses" are still popular. , GARBO NOW AMERICAN LOS ANGELS (rP) Greta Garbo became an American citizen here.
