Feature of
Poultry Meet
All Oregon poultrymen are in
vited to participate in the annual
meeting of the Oregon Poultry
Improvement association in Cor-"
vallis on August 3, regardless of
whether they are association mem-'
bers, it was announced this week
by Lloyd A. Lee, Salem, associa
tion president. The meeting will
be held at the Benton hotel, start
ing at 10 a jn. ,
Featured speaker on the Aug
ust 3 program will be G. T. Klein,
extension poultryman from the
University of Massachusetts, who
is a nationally known authority
on poultry topics. Klein's subject
on. the afternoon program will be
"Saving Labor on Poultry Farms
and in Hatcheries." In the eve
ning, he will address the associa
tion's annual banquet on the sub
ject of "Breeding for Meat and
Eggs-
Other program items include
discussion of fertility in chickens,
by J. E. Parker, OSC poultry de
partment head; a flock improve
ment program, by Paul Bernier,
college poultry geneticist; a talk
on modern trends, in poultry pro
duction, by Fred Cockell, Milwau
kie; and a report of the national
plan conference, by Dr. C. E.
Holmes, Milwaukee.
The association's annual busi
ness meeting and a tour of the
college poultry plant and range
will complete the session.

. Bill Haberiy up in Waldo Hills,
who used to be one of the wheat
kings of that section (and owned
one of the slickest threshing rigs)
just finished mowing his alta fes
cue. It took a crew of four trac
tors to mow the 60 acres in seven
hours. The crop is going to be very
good, Bill thought, guessing at 400
pounds per acre.
Mrs. A- Vanderbeck of Mt. An
gel, rather widely known in Jer
sey circles, topped quite a few
records this1 past month when
Queen, a registered Jersey, pro
duced 93.4 pounds of fat and 1,698
pounds of milk. Anotnette's Don
Juan bull is going on the show
circuit this fall with Rex Ross as
his guiding hand in the rings.
Two of the H. Mikkelson & Son
Jerseys also did rather well for
themselves, one, Leta, made 75.1
pounds of butter fat and Sophie
made 75.9. We believe the Mik
kelsons areVall back in Marion
county, probably to stay. Half of
the firm had moved across the line
into Clackamas county for a bit.
Speaking of cows and records,
a number of herds have exceeded
40 pounds of butterfat in June. In
this, all animals, whether milking
' or not, are figured in the average
and no border cows can be per
mitted in, a herd that expects to
attain such an average. Among
those present in the record making
were John Lienhart, Woodburn,
43.8; Ross Marquam, Marquam,
43.3; H. MikelSon, Aurora, 48.1,
and Gaymoor farm, Canby, 55.7.
This last record is really some
thing to shout about. The John I.
Gales, owners, really know their
Jerseys. The average was made
on T4 cows which gave an aver
age of 11,005 pounds of milk.
Walter M. Brog of Woodburn
Just completed a production rec
ord, too. His Allfame Pabst Jo
hanna ZoZo (that's a Holstein
cow) gave 17,159 pounds of milk,

Clover Seed
Good Crop
Tliis Season
By LIUle I. Madsea
i Farm Editor. Th Statesman
s" Harvest of crimson clover seed
is well under way In the Willam
ette valley with some lots already
combined, and others soon to be
completed Acreage here is con
siderably below that of four years
ago.
The production of crimson clo
ver seed in the United States this
year is forecast at 13,200,000
pounds of clean seed.. This repre
sents 'a 7 per cent increase over
the 1947 crop of 12,360,000 pounds.
Most of the increase is in Georgia
where there has been a sharp up
ward trend for several years in
the use of crimson clover for win
ter grazing and soil improvement.
Increases are also indicated for
Tennessee and Oregon.
The total acreage harvested for
seed in the United States this year
is forecast at 58,900 acres.
Yield Is Larger
In Oregon the acreage is est!-
mated at taking a- 300-acre drop
but the yield per acre is expected
to average 250 in 1948 as against
200 in 1947 so. that the 2,000 acres
grown in Oregon this year will
give an estimated yield of 500,000
pounds of seed.
A government purchase agree-?
ment plan is offered growers of
crimson clover seed this year. The
commodity credit corporation will
buy seed from growers In the states
east of the Rocky mountains on
the basis of $12.50 per 100 pounds
of recleaned and bagged seed for
85 per cent germination and 98
per cent pure seed. West of the
Rocky mountains the base price
is $11.50.
Price Opens Higher
But crimson clover seed opened
considerably higher this year than
last. Tor sales made to June 15,
prices received by growers per 100
pounds clean seed averaged $21
in Tennessee and Kentucky; $21.50
in Alabama; and $25 in Georgia.
Last ; year's opening price aver
aged ' $16.50 and season average
was $19.50.
Imports of crimson clover seed
during the 11 -month period end
ing May 31 were 605,900 pounds.
All of this seed came from Italy,
and the total compares with 283,-
100 pounds imported during the
12-month period ending June 30,
1947. No crimson clover seed was
imported in any of the previous
five years.
Carry-over crimson clover seed
on farms is estimated at 165,000
pounds of clean seed to compare
with 75,000 pounds last year.
HAY CEOP BIG
Hay production in the United
States this year has been estimat
ed by the U. S. crop reporting
board at around 95 million tons.
If realized, that would be about
per cent below last year's pro
duction and 3 per cent below
average. In the Pacific north
west,, however, all hay produc
tion is expected to be well above
last year but about average for
all years. The increase here is
set at about 2 per cent although
the final count is not yet in.
HENS WORK HARDER
Farm flocks in the United
States laid- 3 per cent fewer eggs
in June compared to a year be
fore. Egg production for that
month, however, was still one
tenth above average. The de
crease from a year ago was due
entirely to fewer layers on farms,
as egg production per hen in June
reached a record high for the
month. The rate of lay, at 16.1
eggs per layer, compares to 16
eggs last year and 15 eggs per
hen as an average for June.

Insect Damage
Great in Grain
Unless Controled
Farmers who intend to store
their grain crop on the farm
should make every effort to con
trol grain insect pests which can
do considerable damage to stored
grain, is sound advice now coming
from the county agent I up and
down the Willamette valley farm
line.
Granaries should be thoroughly
cleaned, making every effort to re
move all the old grain particles
from the cracks and crevices in
the bins and around on the floor
of the granary. These grain parti
cles are generally the source of
infection for the new crop. After
cleaning the granary thoroughly,
a five per cent DDT solution
sprayed at the rate of two gallons
per 1,000 square feet of floor and
wall surface is recommended.
Grain which is put Into storage
should be completely dry because
the insects require warmth and
moisture in order to develop. Af
ter the grain is stored is should be
inspected frequently. If an infes
tation of insects develops later,
the granary should be fumigated.
ALFALFA FINE HEIFER DIET
Where good alfalfa hay is
available, as it usually is in the
irrigated sections of the west, it
tm annarpntl mnr nrrtfitable to
raise dairy heifers without feed
ing extra grain. Where heifers
were fed an added grain ration
thev were from -8 to 10 per cent
larger at breeding and: calf time
in an experiment earned on at
Hermiston. The difference was
nnt enough to warrant the 50 per
cent increase in feed cost and
added labor and barn facilities
required when grain Was fed.

Garden Crops Vary
In Need for Water,
Specialist Points Out
The common garden vegetables
vary a great deal in their response
to water, says Arthur S. King,
state college extension soils spe
cialist. If only a limited amount
of water is available, the soils spe
cialist suggests that this be ap
plied on crops that need it most
such as cucumbers, pole beans and
tomatoes Water on these crops
improves quality and keeps the
plants bearing continuously over
a long period of time.
Examples of crops that produce
fair yields without water are corn,
pumpkins and squash. King points
out, however, that anyone who has
eaten irrigated sweet corn, for ex
ample is seldom ever satisfied
again with non-irrigated .corn.
