Farm Home - - Livestock, The Diversified Interests of Willamette ' Valley Farmers TURKEY PRICE T FASHIONS CHANGE, EVEN IN PRUNES SHE KNOWS HER CHICKS The Wall LgUECES IS CITED t IS UNCERTAIN Short Crop Evident; Buyers Unwilling to set Price- but v Ask Consignment PORTLAND. Not. 1 (AP)- Although the storage stock la unusually, limited and .there Is practically do , likelihood of a .- South American supply coming to this country, turkey growers : of the Pacific northwest seem to be more or less uneasy about the outlook for th present crop. Un willingness of astern operators , to "make"!, a price Is responsible for most of this concern. East ern operators appear quite will ,lng to take turkeys but they . want them . on consignment. Very few growers are willing to - ship on this basis. That there has been entirely too. much pressure against the ; turkey -market is now generally ' Indicated, growers declare. Last season the Telatirely low price was caused mostly by the liberal stock in storage as well as late arrivals from South America. This, - together -: with the large output caused more or lees confusion In price. Cro tm Smaller Government reports Indicate the 1130 turkey, crop for the country as a whole - is about three per cent smaller than that of 1129. but larger than either the 1938 or 1327 crop. This report says that in spite of the shortage of feed supplies in some areas the condition of young turkeys this year ia about the same aa of the same date last year. : " For the country as a whole the proportions of turkeys ready for the Thanksgiving and Christ mas markets this year are. prac tically the same as last year. Oregon has seven per cent less birds this year than , in 1929. Texas -has- eight per cent. lets. Missouri and Indiana show a 15 per cent Increase over last year. Fifty-four per cent of Oregon's turkeys will be ready for Thanks giving this yeart as compared to ,43 per cent In 1929. Thirty five per . cent will be ready t for Christmas, as compared to 47 per cent last year.

Trimble, associate dairy man ufacturing specialist of the Unit ed States department of agricul ture. "Casein Is an Important by product of skim milk, -which Is extensively used In paper manu facturing as well as in the manu factnre of numerous articles of trade, such as combs,, fountain pens and the like. At present a good proportion of the domestic needs are supplied-: from other countries, but a recent change in tariff which boosted the rates to double . the former figure Is en abling domestic creameries to meet foreign competition. 'The Improvement in market conditions is not likely to be felt for about a year, Mr. Trimble said, as Importers stocked up with a yar's supply just in ad vance of the rate rise. Need Uniform, Quality "Paper manufacturers have largely favored the Imported product for one other reason, that being that quality was more uniform, making it easier for them to standardize their manu facturing without analyzing each new batch of casein. A. new pro cess of manufacturing that has recently been developed by , the department "- of agriculture. will make It easy for American cream eries to put ' out a uniform pro duct. Trimble states. The pro cess Is described In a bulletin of which he Is joint, author, en tit led "The Method of Making Grain-Curd t Casein. v "At present only a few north west creameries are manufactur ing casein, though several are investigating the possibilities. Indorsement of the proposed program for raising the standard of Oregon dairy products is con tained in the resolutions which were passed by the group of more than 600 dairymen which met at the Pacific International Livestock Exposition. in Portland on Thursday. Sidney Miller of Silverton, president of the Ore gon Dairy Producers association and of the Oregon , Jersey Cattle club, was chairman of the reso lutions committee. The complete resolutions were: Whereas, the Oregon Dairy In dustry needs a broader market to adequately sustain present pro duction, in addition to providing for much, needed expansion, and Whereas, the domestic con sumption may be greatly Increas ed and the use of butter substi tutes decreased, and vnereas, , greatly increased out of state and foreign markets may be greatly stimulated by higher quality in our products,; Be It hereby resolved that the solution to the problem x of In creased sales will be found larg ely In better quality, and stand ardzatlon. . s Ana oe it xuriner resoivea mat this better quality can be secur ed best from a cream grading law. which -we urge upon our legislative representatives. 2.

Be it resolved that this meeting urge the dairymen of Oregon to support all sound co operative manufacturing and marketing enterprises. ff. Be- it resolved that as the dairy work of the O.S.C. has been sympathetic to the produc ers and its policies have been proven sound, .that Its work and leadership receive our support ana encouragement. 7.

Cow Must Yield 300 Pounds Fat To be Profitable EVERETT. Wash. To return a profit, a dairy cow must pro- auce at least 300 pounds butter- fat per year, says Donald L. Saunders, assistant county agent. It takes 150 pounds of butter fat to pay the cow's feed bill for the year, and another 150 pounds to pay interest on money invested in cows and buildings, insurance, labor,' and miscellaneous expen ses such as losses of livestock and veterinary services, j EXPORTS DECLINE . The smallest total volume of agricultural exports from the United States since 1910 Is re ported for the year' ended June 30, 1930. says the U. S. depart ment of agriculture.

T ' "CATERPILLAR" TRACTORS It would be unfair for us to tell any farmer that he should chisel or subsoil his particular piece of ground unless we could first dig some holes In IU . : We admit we are biased in the matter. In fact, we are somewhat proud of it. But you can find out for yourself whether the tillage methods we advocate will do you good. You can find the answer accurately and impartially, for yourself, if you will make systematic use of a shovel in your field.

Jean' is the companion and friend of the young calves and the little chicks which follow her about. The farm is Irrigated from mill creek and Drager has a nine horsepower engine and pressure tank which furnishes the'- house with running water. While not as spectacular as some, this little farm does its bit to a small army of workers, who make good wa ges picking his crops for the market. Drager is genial and enthusias tic with a sane cheerful outlook upon life. Like David Starr Jor dan who took his inspiration in enthusiasm from a French novel by Victor Cherbulles whose text and whole sermon was this: "My son, we should lay up a stock of absurd enthusiasms In our youth. or else we shall reach the end of our Journey, with an empty heart, for we loose a great many of them by the way." Drager has stored up many enthusiasms, he does things because he loves to do them and loves them because he does them. He does, not need vast acres to make a success, but on Ms small acreage with loving hands he coaxes every inch Into productivity. The home has the conveniences that are possible to farms In this modern age and ' because he Is eternally at it Jthe farm is being built up and improved. Shaw i SHAW, Nov. 1 W.
