Molasses from
Sawdust Shows
Some Promise
Doaglas fir sawdust and other
wood. waste in this region is pot
entially a source of molasses for
hog feeding, but no spectacular
savings in feed costs are in pros
pect yet. according to a report
made by members of the animal
husbandry department of the OSC
experiment station at the recent
convention of the American Chem
ical society in Portland.
Feeding tests with swine were
conducted at Corvallis by W. C.
Weir and W. K. Ousterhout of the
A. H- department, using wood mo
lasses, produced by the federal fo
rest products laboratory at Madi
son, Wis. The Oregon forest pro
ducts laboratory cooperated in the
experiments, more of which are
planned.
With swine, a ration with 15 per
cent wood molasses, substituted for
barley, was fed, keeping the nutritive-
ration the same to compare
results of wood molasses and cane
malasaes.
The- IS per cent wood molasses
ration, with or without addition of
dried brewers yeast, was eaten well
by the pigs and resulted in rea
sonably rapid gains at a cost of
between $20 and $21 per 100
pounds gain in liveweight. On the
basal ration without molasses the
animals gained a little faster and
were ready for market two or three
weeks earlier, but at no significant
savings in feed cost.
Too much wood molasses was
. found harmful, as pens fed a 30
per cent molasses ration - became
' unthrifty and gained so slowly that
feetl costs were too high. Similar
results had been previously report
ed, in molasses feeding tests with
dairy cows here. Rations with 30
per cent cane molasses brought
good gains but at high feed cost.
Flavor tests made by the school
f home economics at OSC reveal
ed that meat produced by all the
rations was equally good, with no
ft flavors detected.
Valley Herds Make
National Rating
Marion county Jersey herds did
rather well this month, according
to reports from the American Jer
sey Cattle club with headquarters
in Columbus, Ohio.
The registered Jersey cow. Bra
vo Fa u vie Empress, owned by Mrs.
Antoinette Vanderbeck, ML Angel,
has rated a test dam classification
having three offspring with offi
cial production records. The cow's
tested progeny, with all records
computed to a 305 day twice daily
milking mature basis, averaged
10,512 pounds milk. 4.82 per cent
test and 507 pounds butterfat. Fau
vic Empress has also been given a
type rating of Excellent under the
Type Classification program of the
cattle club. This is equivalent to a
score of 90 pernt or better when
compared to the breed's score card
alloting 100 points to a perfect ani
mal. The registered Jersey herd own

A Hazelnut by i
Any Other Name
Is Still a Nut 1
Whether -you say it avellana,
fundick, nocciola or mogyoro, it is
'still a filbert, says John E. Trunk,
general manager of Northwest Nut
Growers, after reading trade and
crop reports from European coun
tries. Several of the foreign names for
filberts spring from the same
source as the American hazelnut,
and in five countries it is very
similar. Trunk reports. The Swiss
hazelnuess, Swedish has s e 1 n o t,
Norwegian hasselnotter, German
hazelnuss and Dutch hazel noot
would be recognized by an Amer
ican. From the original Latin Corylus
Avellana Pontica, or hazel nut,
comes the Spanish avellana, Portu
gese a vela and Roumanian aluna.
Aveline is the name given to one
of the Northwest's pollenizing va
rieties. Trunk points out.
The French speak of noisettes.
which does not refer to the sound
wrnen eaten. They also use the term
noi "x -de-filbert. According to
Trunk, the word filbert itself is of
French origin, and probably comes
from St. Philibert, ftut grower's
for type under the program of the
national club. The 43 animals clas
sified in the Coleman herd include
seven Very Good, 30 Good Plus and
six Good for an average score of
82.82.

ely enough the production of fil
berts in France is no longer com
mercially ; important.
! One of the big producing coun
tries, Turkey, calls the filbert a
fundik, which has something in
Common; with the Greek fundukia
and the; Syrian bounduk. Yet Yu
goslavia, to be different from its
near neighbors, calls them Orascic.
This is not Russian, as the Rus
sians use the term leshchina, from
which comes the Bulgarian liesh
nik. With their genius for the un
romantic in titles, the English call
them cobb nuts. Trunk continues.

Gamblings
Imported Plant Pest
Blamed for Troubles
Tighter import barriers on for
eign plants- are needed to keep out
imported plant pests, cause of 80
per cent of the plant losses in this
country; Richard P. White of
Washington, t. C, told the annual
convention of the Oregon Associa
tion of Nurserymen held at Port
land recently.
We have too many imported
plant diseases in this country now,
and we don't want any more of
them," White, executive secretary
of the i Association of American
Nurserymen,; told the Oregon
group. He also told that danger of
spreading: Japanese beetle in plant
shipments has been eliminated by
DDT treatment, and that proper
grading to insure shipment of only
first class stock is very Important.
Shipping beef cattle for breed
ing purposes from the Willamette
valley to eastern Oregon is al
most like sending coals to New
castle. Maybe since the war, with
so many things reversed, the lat
ter Is being done, too. For cer
tain, the former is, as four reg
istered Polled Hereford bulls
went from the Bob Sears ranch,
Salem, to Roy Shannon for use
at the Dr. L. E. Barrick Ruby
Ranch in Jordan Valley. These
bulls are of the Wood row Mis
chief 6th breeding the sire of
which came from Fort Worth.
Texas. The bulls were bred and
raised here in the valley. With
so much of the valley gone to
grass and other forage crops,
eastern Oregon might best watch
out. After looking over Bob's
cattle, the rural reporter wouldn't
be surprised If Doc's neighbors
out in Jordan Valley wouldn't
want some Willamette valley
stock, too.
Buchner Bros.. Lebanon, grew
11,490 pounds of cleaned Cascade
barley seed on six and a half
acres, and Leonard Brush, Tan
gent, got 9,031 pounds on AVt
acres. Cascade, a new six-row
barley developed by Oregon ex
periment station at Corvallis. was
tried out in the valley for the
first time last year. The farmers
who . have grown it, and there
are a few in Marion and Polk
who have tried it, claim it has
possibilities for farmers who
want a high producing fall bar
ley for feed purposes. Leonard
claims thai it is no good on poorly
drained soil, however, as it tends
to drown out.
Paul Shepherd, native of Polk
county and now fieldman for the
First National bank at Salem,
has a new idea in you can't
exactly call it dairying, and you
can't exactly call it beefing
we'll have to settle for livestock
raising. Says Paul: "It seems to
me it would be a good idea if
registered cattle were bred to
beef bulls for their first two
calves. That would give the dairy
man an opportunity to prove his
cow as a dairy cow and make "a
little extra on the calves as beef.
Schroeder Files
Poultry Report
With Director
A total of 119 commercial poul
try raisers participated in the Ore
gon state department of agricul
ture's poultry improvement pro
gram, and 83 turkey growers took
part in the state's turkey improve
ment plan during the fiscal year,
1947-48, Supervisor Price Schroe
der reported to EL L. Peterson, state
director of agriculture, this week.
Schroeder recently announced
his resignation to accept a position
of hatcher and farm manager for
Hein's turkey farm, Milwaukie.
Schroeder explains that the pri
mary objectives of the poultry and
turkey improvement plant are to
improve the production, breeding
and market qualities of these fowl
and to reduce losses from disease.
Schroeder has been assisted by
two full-time inspectors and a
part-time secretary. Some outside
work is hired in checking perfec
tion records.
Along with the 119 growers there
were 53 hatcheries participating in
the plan this past fiscal year. These
hatcheries have a total capacity of
2.9O0.0O0 eggs. This is a drop of
seven turkey hatcheries from last
year, which Schroeder explained
was due mainly to the fact that
several large commercial hatcher
ies and some small hatcheries did
not operate because of the predict
ed short season.
Grocers Are Taught
To Sell FarniJ'ooda
The United States government
is currently engaged in an experi
mental and educational program
connected with the handling of
foods that it hopes will increase
consumption and thereby cut down
farm surpluses.
The department of agriculture
has already trained 4,300 retail
grocers in the proper care and dis
play of fruits and vegetables in
courses offered by the United
Fruit and Vegetable association.
The reports coming back from
merchants who attended the cour
ses indicate that their sales have
jumped as high as 200 per cent
and, on the average, 30 per cent.

Control of Insects
Many of the new insecticides
such as DDT, D-3, lethane, para
thion and others, can be a big help
to commercial flower growers or
the homemaker troubled with in
sects on house plants, says R. G.
Rosentiel, assistant entomologist of
the State college experiment sta
tion in a new circular, No. 438,
"Control of Common Insect Pests
of Indoor Plants."
A warning to try any new In
secticide first on a small scale Is
given by the author who adds oth
er precautions baked on two years
of experimentation with these at
the college. '
More and more dairymen are
buying only dairy cattle with
proven records or the offspring
of cows with proven records."

Get Rid of Burrs
Is Buyer's, Warning
This season, as in the past, many
shippers of wool have lost good
money because the fleeces they sell
contain burrs and other foreign
matter that result in a reduction
of the price buyers will pay.
The wool from a farm flock of
average size easily can show a de
preciation amounting to from f 10
to $30, or approximately one-third
off the price available for clean
wool. It has been demonstrated in
recent years that burr-bearing
plants of all kinds, including the
sturdy burdock, can be destroyed
