sheep farmed after -ne. was grad
uated from Silverton high school

In 1942 he turned to turkeys

gar Ted 1 taking a rest from
e turkey business but plans to
return to it again this autumn.
Last year he ran 4,000 turkeys,
including 1,000 breeder hens.
Ted and Beryl own their 232
acre Waldo Hills ranch, to which
they moved on July 4, 1930, and
which now has 60 acres In chew
ing! fescue grass.
While in recent years the grass
has been grown chiefly as range
land for turkeys, they are taking
a seed crop from it this year. The
grass is sturay ana weu neaaea,
and never, says Ted, haa any
commercial fertilizer been put on
the fields. Using It as turkey
range has supplied plenty of fertility.
Beryl, also a daughter of pio
neer famines ana an accomp

club and grange. Their 11-year
old daughter, Mary Jane, has In
hented her mother's musical abll

Jane at his side. Beryl admits
she likes to admire all seven

Milk Selling Methods
Change in 20 Years
United ; States 'dairymen art
selling more of the milk produc
ed as whole milk, according to
the USDA report Issued Wednes
day. Whole milk sales reached
record proportions In 1148. .
The sharp shift from the sale
of farm-separated cream to sale
of whole milk began in the mld
1930s. It was stepped up again
during the war years and has
continued since. In the late 1920s
less ''than: half of the milk pro
duced Was sold in whole form. In
1948 fully 78 per cent of the milk
produced was sold la this man
ner.

Oregon Heads
Farm Loan
ILHA Payouts
Oregon stand number one
among" the states for payouts of
farm ownership loans mads by
the Farmers Home administration
during a 10-year period starting
in 1938, Walter A. Duffy, Port
land, state director, announced
Wednesday.
Of 507 farm ownership loans
made during: the 10-year period
ending m 1948, 259 families or 49
percent have paid out their real
estate loans in full, so years aneaa
of schedule, the state director de
clares.
For the oeriod July 1. 1948.
through February, 1949, aboutS
percent of the $858,000 loaned in
Oregon by the FHA went ;to vet
erans to purchase or equip farm.
Returned servicemen becoming
established In agriculture account
ed for two-fifths of the 500 Ore
gon farmers wno were assistea
during the eight months period.
Four hundred and eighty-three
operating loans and 15 water fa
cility loans were made, Duffy
state.
Yets Have Preference
Veteran receive preference for
all types of loans available through
the Farmers Home administration.
Supervised credit, the state direc
tor emphasizes, is wen suited to
meet needs of young couples with
limited capital and experience who
wish to get established In farming.
Only fanners who are unable
to secure suitable credit at rea
sonable rates from other sources
are eligible to secure supervised
credit from the Farmers Home ad
ministration, it Is pointed out.
Loan Firms Co-operate
Duffy states that the Insured
mortgage program put into effect
in 194? has made it possible for
banks, insurance companies and
individuals to cooperate with the
government in a program of de
veloping and improving local com
munities. Loans made through the
insured mortgage plan are ser
viced by FHA fleldmen and re
payments to the lender guaran
teed by the government
Ninety thousand dollars was
loaned to Oregon farmers whose
property was damaged or destroy
ed by the 1948 Columbia river
flood, Duffy concludes.

HBamcEa: IIQaimnlbflSinigs
We hare them with us again
those XJndows over at Indepen
dence. Now their registered Jer
sey herd has been proclaimed s
Gold Star herd by the American
Jersey Cattle club on the strength
of official tests just completed.
The award was given for meri
torious production over a four
year period during which the 12
cows in the herd produced an
average of 9,991 pounds of milk
and590 pounds of butterfat. Be
sides this Sybil's Lad's Margie
May Is now a tested dam. having
three offspring with official pro-
auction records.
Not to be toO sreatlr outdone
by Independence, which is really
a Jersey city, over at Mt Angel,
wmcn is reauy a Holstein citv,
Mrs. Antoinette ' V a n d e r berk's
herd of 11 registered Jerseys has
completed a year's official HIR
witn n average production of
44 pounds of butterfat, and too,
has been pronounced a Gold Star
herd. The four year record on the
11 cows was 8.790 pounds of milk
and 463 pound of butterfat.
:
And not to be outdone by the
Jerseys, C. J. Berning. also at
Mt Angel, has hit the top again
in Marion county's DHIA test
ing. A registered Holstein pro
duced 2579 pounds of milk dur
ing May which contained 121.2
pounds of butterfat. C. J. also
topped the county herd average
with 52.5 pounds of fat for 23
cows for the month.
Joe Harland, 1 Rickreall farmer
who was all written up in a re
cent issue of The Country Gentleman-says
that "We enjoyed
the publicity. but feel guilty about
it because we know any one of
hundreds of other Willamette
valley fanners are deserving of
as much recognition.1 He adds
that "the day is past when any
darn fool can farm just because
he cam do anything else."
Recalling: many of the run down
farms we used to see in our child
hood, the ranch rambler wonders
if any such-and-such could farm
even then. It's Just that folk have
learned you have to be somewhat
oi an engineer, a chemist an
agronomist a botanist an ento
mologist, and a number of other
ists if you really expect to make
a living on the land, it's become
that complicated. And then, if
you do make s living, you have
to be a lawyer and a CPA to
figure out the Income tax.
To get back to Joe: He said
that last year a fire got away
and destroyed one of his grain ,
fields. He didn t mind so much
losing the grain, but he sure did f
hate to loss that straw which hs f
wanted to turn under. His pres- '
ent project Is to Increase the l
humus supply of his soil 100 per ,
cent
Quite an out-of-the-ordinary I
thing is the Columbia ewe owned 1
by J. Handley of McMinnville.
The ewe is but four years old f
and has raised 12 lambs. She has
lambed six times and each time
there has been twins. Ed is the
pioneer Columbia sheep breeder ,
in Oregon and now has converted ;
his whole flock into Columbia, l
Some of his sheep will be shown )
in San Francisco and also at the i
Pendleton ram sale.
RASPBERRY MEET PLANNED
A field meeting for red rasp- f
berry growers has been set fori
Friday, June 24, 9:30 a m. at the ,
