8 gfy.FARM and GARDEN NEWS jf G G 6 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Monday, July 23, 1 951 Rural Residents Asked To Adopt Safe Practices For the stale's farms to be lafe placet to live and work, rural residents must think safely, de clares F. E. Price, dean and direc tor of agriculture at Oregon Stale college, who adds that July 22 to 28, is National Farm Safety week. It is a good time for every farm person to adopt "safe farm prac tices" as a personal slogan, says Dean Price, who is state chair man of the farm safety week cam paign. Most common types of Oregon farm accidents, according to Hg , ures compiled by Jim Wiles of the State industrial Accident com mission, are falls and being struck " by objects. The agencies usually associated with this type accident are working surfaces, hand tools and vehicles. Net All Indicated ' Although by no means all of the farm accidents which occur in the state are indicated in figures re t leased by the State Industrial Acci- dent commission, their summary is consdered a good barometer of WSJ is taking place, i commission figures are confined a to accidents covered by the Work- men's Compensation act. In 1950, there were about 11,000 agricul l tural accounts carried by the State r Industrial Accident commission. , Last year, farm accidents re j ported to tha commission totaled ; 2,224, just slightly fewer than were reported in 1949. Of this total. 1.474 ! represented "time loss" cftMms, 652 involved no absenceMrom i work. Four accidents were fatal. There were .10 fatal farm acci t dents covered by the compensa l tion law in 1945. (Cii An encouraging note in the ac cident commission figures, Dean Price explains, is tha fact that fatal accidents have tended to de cline each year(yice 1945.

Australia's Wool Production Down An expected reduction In Au stralia's wool production will re duce the world supply of wool, which is already critically short. The 1951-52 wool output in that country may be down to 1,120 mil lion pounds, about 5 percent below the 1950-51 output. According to information re ceived by USDA from Australia, the reduction is attributed to a drop in sheep numbers and some decline In yield per a:iimal.

MARTIN Associated Prts Farm Writer WASHINGTON -4P) -When you buy apples at the grocery store you pay much more for mraketing services than you do for the fruit. The Agriculture department Q cently made a study of marketing charges for apples sold in Pitts burgh, which it classed as a typi cal eastern city. It found that for a six-month period consumers paid an-ver-age $5.12 for a 42-pound nfix . of apples grown in the PacifjeNorth west and $3.75 for a 45-poarid box of eastern-grown apples. The western grt,w-( rcecived an average $1.23 a box; the easirn growr 81 cents. These returns represent) 24 cents of th dollar consume?!, spent for the weskn apples and 22 cergjfor the astern.

These serv ices represented 23 cents of the consumer dollar for western ap ples and 30 cents for the easterns. Rail charges from WasljjFglon state to Pittsburgh averaged $1.08 a box. These charges included freight, heat or ice, and the fed eral transportation tax. Transportation for eastern ap ples to Pittsburgh averaged 20 cents. The broker got an average of 4.2 cents a box for handling west ern apples. No brokerage charges Fn made for eastern apples in- clinwl in the survey. The wholesaler took an average of 40 cents on west ern apples and 33 cents o n eastern.Jn some cases apples werar-haiwled by so-called second ary Wholesalers, who broke up ship ping lots into smaller lots for sale to small retailers. Wholesale charges in these cases averaged about 54 cents for the westers fruit. The retailer received an aver age margin of $1.20 on western apples (ikid tfip on eastern.

James E. Oldfield, OSC grad uate research fellow, has been ap pointed as an assistant animal hus bandman by the experiment sta tion and will work on the new project under the direction of Dr. J. R. Haag, agricultural chemist specializing in animal nutrition. The appointment is effective September 1. The new long range program wiil be concentrated on nutritional problems affecting the Oregon swine industry, according to Old field. Initially, the work will be divided into three phases including minor elements, vitamins and anti biotics. The role of minor elements in swine nutrition will be studied as an added . phase of an already established project on this phase of animal nutrition. Special em phasis will be placed on iron and copper in the first tests. A second phase of the new pro gram will be an investigation of the importance of vitamins in swine nutrition, centering around vitamin B-12 Attempts will be made to cietiwnine the best means of supplying the animal protein factor , which is rich in vitamin B-12. On ' The third phase will concern the use of antibiotics in wine feeding. Otho M. Hale, OSCgradirtJe stu dent in chemistry lromrisco, City, Ala., ha: been appointed as a graduate research fellow, in an imal husbandry to help carry on this work.

Weather Causes Cover Crop Loss Production prospects ror almost all winter cover crop sep4s this year are poor. accordingQjn the United States Department of Ag riculture. The lupine seed crop is expected to be about 13 percent of what it was last year. The acreages afJ hairy, common and WillametW vetches, Austnanrwinter and wild winter peas andVe'mmon ryegrass are H lower than thev wem a yearSfgo. r The lupinecrop was hit by two freezes, one in November and the other in February, and by early season drought. After being re planted as many as three times in eome areas, growers expect to get about 26.500.000 Dounds of seed. About 90 percent of this year's crop is expected to be blue lupine and the other 10 percent sweet lupine and other kinds. The 40,700 acres of Austrian win ter peas reported to be harvests? this year are less than one fourth of srjear aE when a record crop was produced.
