With Livestock in Lead Role - Prineville, August 22 A program, which his office has promoted for the past 10 years in the improvement of the herds of beef cattle in Crook county, has paid off, and E. L. Woods, county agricultural agent views with satisfaction the estimated returns of an aggregate of $6,216,000 received for the county's agricultural products in 1950.

It's All for Science Ever see a rooster that-clucks like a hen and has a motherly feeling toward a brood of baby chicks? ',. :, rr:.- Using a hormone prolectin Dr. Paul Bernier, poultry gene ticist at the Oregon State college agricultural experiment station, is producing male birds like that as a time saver in his poultry breeding work. It's a test for broodiness, a characteristic that's Inherited in laying hens.-Poultry-men who sell eggs don't want it. Here's the way the test works: Say you start' with just two cock erels you can test more of course and you want to find out which, one will impart the least Woods reports that Crook coun ty's chicken population reached 20,000 birds in 1950 and ranchers produced in sideline activities 1,000 turkeys for market. A sub stantial annual income is derived by several growers, he cites, from rabbits produced for their meat. broodiness to your breeding flock. . ; Injections Started When the cockerels are : 10 months old, you start hormone injections. Each bird gets a daily shot in ttie , breast, for a week or less. 'Cost: $1,50' per injection. You-iook for the cockerel that can withstand the most hormone. He's the one most likely to father hens that will lay eggs instead of wanting to "hatch them. It's funny to watch the test as it progresses. Dr. Bernier checks the birds closely, listening for clucking sounds and testing them with babv" chicks. He tickles the birds on the breast and so long as they put up a light, he knows there's resistance. . ' No III Effect ' There's ho carry-over effect from the hormone. After you've made your selection, and injec tions are stopped, the birds are crowing again within three or four days. . . . Althou'gh he's been using the normone test on .Leghorn cock erels. Dr. Bernier says It would be effective in selecting turkey, breeding tnms. With turkeys, egg production during a short span of time is especially important.

J. A. Harper, who is in cliaree of turkey research for the OSC agricultural experiment station, nas iounci in his tests that a tiny bit of penicillin added to turkey feed produces faster and more uniform growth in poults. Mortal ity also was reduced. Harper took turkey poults with similar hereditary backgrounds and placed them in two experi mental pens at the OSC turkey farm. Space allotment per bird and feed were identical with a single exception. Birds in one pen received a small dose of Drncaine penicillin 2 V4 grams to a ton of feed. Poults in tho pen fed the nor mal ration varied greatly In size and vigor. .Some were as large and healthy as those In the pen receiving penicillin, but others ap peared weak and runty. The penicillin-fed birds were uniform In size and, at four weeks of age, weighed an average of M pound per bird more .than the other group. .. Although the exact reason ror these results isn't known. Harbor explained that the theory has been aavancea mat me annmocio con trols microorganisms in the in testinal tract of the birds. '. MOTHER TAGS ALONG Woodstock.
