OSC Experiment Station Finds

Mad the past year by the Oregon agricultural experiment station, rol
lowing is the last of three stories telling about them.
By Paul W Harvey. Jr.
It was a sad day for the roosters when the Oregon Agricultural
experiment station found out that fewer of them would be better for
the hens.
The station discovered this year that using fewer roosters per
flock produces more fertile eggs. Only five or six roosters are needed
per 100 hens.
When there are too many roos
ters, fertility is decreased, proba
bly because of too much fighting
among the roosters.
If poultry breeders follow the
advice, the number of roosters in
Oregon would be cut in half.
The station, however, hasn't
been able to get very far in study
ing the 50 or so virus diseases of
trees and plants. In fact, they have
gotten just as far as medical men
have in solving the problem of
human virus diseases, like , the
common cold.
But progress is being made to
ward finding the insects which
carry the virus diseases from tree
to' tree, and from orchard to or
chard. The researchers indentified
one species of leaf hopper which
carries a virus disease of cherry
trees-
The idea is that these virus di
seases might be stopped by killing
the insects which spread them.
New Grape Industry
Anew Concord grape industry
for eastern Oregon might come
from the discovery that they can
be grown there-profitably.
Tests are being made to fiud out
what kind of berries can best be
frozen or canned. And a lot of
time is being spent trying to pro
mote the idea of freezing fruit or
berry pies. They can be frozen,
unbaked or baked, and that might
develop into a big business for
m s v n W n r4
UUICUUUJa
Use of sawdust as a mulch for
horticultural crops was tested this
year, and the station found it im
proved crop yields. But it warned
that a lot of nitrogen must be used
with the sawdust.
Wood molasses was found to be
a good food for sheep, hogs and
poultry. It comes from wood
waste, and will save livestock
owners a lot of money.
Much Research
The station is doing much re-
. aearch in canning methods. It
wants to make canned foods taste
like fresh foods. ,
-New oyster beds, including re
building the once-famous Yaquina
bay beds, might result from the
discovery of a method of "raising
oyster larvae in the laboratory.
Raising the oyster larvae this
way and then planting them would
remove most of the hazards of the
oyster industry.
A new outlet for Oregon-grown
flax might come from the station's
developing of weaving flax yarns
Into draperies, linens and uphols
tering materials.
Good Reception
The station said samples of flax
fabrics got a good reception be
fore fabric designers and manu
facturers in New York City this
gas can be produced
commercially from waste of fruit
processing plants. This discovery
also will relieve stream pollution,
because the waste products dump
ed into rivers wouldn't produce
the gas which pollutes them.
Control of many kinds of vege
table pests was achieved the past
year.
And even chrysanthemum lov
ers benefitted from the station. It
is developing large-flowered
plants which will grow well in the
average man's garden.

Routine Trips
Bank Teller
PASADENA, Calif.. Dec. 20-(P)-It
was as slick as a well-rehearsed
vaudeville routine, police
were told.
In the middle of the Christmas
rush hours an attractive, fashion-able-dressed
woman stepoed up to
a cashier's window in the Pasa
dena First Trust and Savings
bank, laid down four $10 bills and
asked for a fifty.
The cashier put up the fifty and
called attention to the fact the
lady was $10 short.
Thereupon she dug into her
purse found another $10 and said
she "might as well" get a $100 bill
while she was at it.
The cashier obligingly passed
the $100 bill across the counter
and raked in the woman's five $10
bills and the bank's fifty.
Bank officials pondered their
mathematics and police were noti
tied- ,
The cashier is still scratching
his -head.
