Salem, Oregon, Tuesday, January 29, 1957 THE CAPITAL JOURNAC Section' 2 Fafcd 3 1 Broiler Chicken Production Is Up College Agent Gives Details At Meeting o By CLAUD STEUSI.OFF Capital Journal Special Writer Broiler chicken production and per capita consumption, which have increased nearly 20 per cent each year since 1934 has no par allel for sustained increase in American agriculture, Noel Ben nion, Orocon State college exten sion poultry specialist, told the opening session of four poultry weekly short course meetings be ing held in Salem for .Marion county farm folks. The 1956 broiler production of 1 billion, 300' million birds has risen steadily from a mere 34 million fed in the nation in 1934. Oregon broilermen have kept pace from the 1934 start of 100, oqo birds to eight million last year. The latter figure is up 25 per cent from 1955 and Bennion said indications were for more in crease this year. "And they have all been eaten here, export trade has been neg ligible. Last year per capita con sumption was 16 pounds, in 1940 only two pounds of broiler meat was eaten per person," Bennion stated. "All this has been brought about without promotion," he went on. Lower, price to consumers, re duced production cost, improved marketing. and processing meth ods, quality, and cut-up fryers are the principal factors in the stupendous growth according to the specialist. Between 85 and 90 per cent of the birds have gone into fresh trade, anticipated froz en use has not developed. m Not Imoprtant Brioler production is not as im portant a part of the poultry busi ness in Oregon as in the nation as a whole. Of the 40 million dol lar yearly income here, eggs make up 60 per cent; turkeys 20 per cent, broilers 12 per cent and sale of hens and roasters, eight per cent. In the U. S., proportions are cjgs 56 per cent; broilers 25 per ceni; lurKeys iu per cent anu other chickens 9 per cent. While all this broiler business has been going on, fewer hens have been laying- more eggs to keep up with both increased pop ulation and higher per capita con sumption. About 400 million busy hens in the nation laid an aver age of 210 eggs and each person ate an egg a day last year. Fif teen years ago 525 million hens worked at the job of producing 160 eggs per year and average consumption was 200 eggs. Bennion said that in the past few years Oregon egg production and consumption have, almost reached a balance, only about five per cent of the output is ex pected. Climatically, the Willam ette valley is one of the favored spots for year-around high lay and Oregon hens average 1819 eggs more each year- than the national average. Poultrymcn have been holding the laying flock number at about 314 million birds for the past several years. Vertical Integration "Vertical integration," a poul tryman's version of the "cradlc-lo-the-grave" philosophy, under which one individual or company controls the entire operation of hatching, producing and proces sing and marketing, was discuss ed by a panel at the meeting and brought out considerable audience-participation. All agreed the new trend is developing rapidly, is bringing on a more commerci alized" industry dropping the little fellows and making the big ones bigger. Bennion noted that integration has caused less variation in pro ducli$ft from year to year, the ups and downs of price have leveled off "but the leveling has been at a "lower price scale." He pointed out that there arc vary ing degrees of integration and "our present Oregon turkey in dustry would not be here without partial integration and it must be used if we arc to. maintain a healthy broiler industry." Robert Gray, Aurora egg pro ducer who was a panel member, said he 'felt the plan provided a good market for high quality eggs. Some contracts being offer ed locally provide 1680 birds ready to lay with original cost S10,8(i5 for the entire outfit. Ar rangements arc for a three-year term, the farmer must put up one-third of the cost and grade A large eggs arc contracted at 37 cents or 2 cents above local marke!. Profit is estimated at S4 per bird, which Cray thought was too high. Better Chance Cornelius Batesnn, Pratum broiler feeder, said he felt the small operator has a better chance ttr survive here "than most anvwherc in the U. S." He said there is as yet little full in teeration here but there are quite a few "deals." About 90 per cent of Oregon broiler raising is done on contract. "I can't com plain, I have made more per hour from my broilers man irom my strawberries and beans and I be lieve the broiler business will straighten nut in a year or two," hp concluded. Poultrv is the third most Im nortant source of agricultural in come in the U. S. In Marion county it ranks first, bringing in lour million dollars last year. 12TH ANNUAL SHOW Prospects Brigh t for ..With market hogs 21 cents per pound at the Portland stockyards and Chicago priws the highest since July, 1955," prospects are bright for a successful 12th an nual Oregon Swine Growers bred gilt sale at the state fairgrounds, Feb. 2. Sale offerings will include 40 prospective matrons of eight pop ular breeds. There will be 11 Durocs, 10 Bcrkshircs, Six York shires, four Chester Whites, four Hampshires, two Spotted Poland Chinas, two Tamworths and 1 Poland China. All are purcbreds about one year old. Market emphasis on meat type breeding stock is shown by a con signment of two Tamworth gilts DHIA Records Reported Good Ten month DHIA records com pleted in The Marion county as sociation in December were ex ceptionally good. Neal Miller is owner if Viola, a five-year-old registered Jersey that finished with 738 pounds of fat and 11,210 pounds of milk. W. H. Brandt, Silverton, completed a record on Rosemary, a nine-year-old registered Guernsey, with 665 pounds of fat and 12, 128 pounds of milk. Jim Phillips registered a Jersey at Silverton. which made 804 pounds of fat'and 13,240 pounds of milk in 305 days. Bethel Ewe Has 6 Lambs in Year . BETHEL (Special) A mature ewe in the flock of sheep on the farm of Mr. and Mrs. John Hain has given birth to six lambs in the last 12 months. After having triplets last January which she lost, the ewe was turned out to pasture and in late summer pro duced a fine single lamb. A few days ago she gave birth to a large pair of twins. Formerly a dairy ranch, the farm had become infested with tansy ragwort, a weed deadly to cattle. Hearing that sheep would kill out tansy ragwort, the Hain's bought a flock of sheep which have practically eradicated the weed. A separate plant seen now and then is promptly killed by spraying. Advances Announced In Food Irradiation Another step forward in pre servation of foods through irradia tion has been announced by Ore gon State college agricultural chemists. Chemists E. C. Bubl and J. S. Butts report that four generations of rats were fed a 60 per cent diet of irradiated meat over a two-year period with no harmful effects. .The research project, one of several in the county, is for the department of defense. The pri mary objective of the long-range work is to supply troops with fresh meats and other foods that require sterilization, through canning or freezing. March 15 Listed as Final Day To Sign for Soil Bank Plan March 15 is the final date for signing up for the 1957 program the conservation reserve section of the soil bank, according to Charles Ross, chairman of the Polk county ASC committee. The conservation reserve pro vides a rental payment of $13 an acre from three to Id years, de pending on the type of contract that is arranged with the farm operator. The program further provides for up la, oil per cent as assistance on necessary conserva tion practices on land placed under the conservation reserve. The nuroosc of a conservation reserve program is the reduction of soil base crop acreage and con serving and building up soil for future use. Ilns.f staled that as ever farm operator's situation is dillcnt, it is recommended that farmers in terested in finding out how the PORTLAND toil;lH.i'i,.y L SET Looking Gilt Sa le by W. F. Fesslcr, Ml. Angel. This is the first time this bacon breed has been offered at the sale. They are native to the midland count ries in England, are very active, of great fecundity and noted pro ducers of lean sidemeat. Oregon's fall pig crop, 16 per cent smaller than a year ago, should make bred gilts good prop erty, according to T. R. Hobart, secretary of the Oreogn swine growers. It is pointed out that west coast population is now 10 per cent of the nation but we have only one percent of the swine in the U. S., so a depend able market seems assured. A big holdover of barley from fast year's record crop should take care of feed needs locally. Among local consignors to the event are: Dan Ncvil, Dayton, who has entered a Duroc; Edwin Ridder, Sherwood, two Durocs; M. E. Barth, Dallas, three Dur ocs; H. T. Feldman, Woodburn, Duroc; Clay Rambo, Salem, two spotted Poland Chinas; Wayne Johnston, Jefferson, Hampshire; Joe & Rose Wilhelm, Salem, Po land China and Hampshire; tllon Watts, Silverton, four Chester Whites. Joe Johnson, Corvallis, Alvin Haase, Cornelius, and Ben New ell. Marion county agent, are members of the sifting commit tee who will inspect all animals to insure their health and happi ness. Elton Watts is chairman of the sale committee. Other members are: Brentford Miller Jr., Wood- burn, and Edwin Ridder and El mer Stangel, Wilsonville. Earl Gillespie, Salem, will serve as auctioneer. Lunch will be served at- noon with tbe sale starting at 12:30 p.m. Mail bids may be sent to T. R. Hobart, P.O. Box Ml Salem; or to Ben Newell, county agent. Strawberry Meeting Set A strawberry meeting has been scheduled for Friday in Salem, ac cording to County Extension Agent D. L. Rasmussen. The meeting will stqrt at 1:30 p.m. in the Izaak Walton league clubhouse, 500 South Cottage St. Four speakers will discuss insect and disease problems, market situ ation and outlook, and action that might be taken by strawberry growers and others in the indus try to help maintain the Oregon strawberry industry in the future. Robert W. Every, entomology specialist at Oregon State college, will discuss insect control meas ures in new and bearing straw berry fields. Plant Pathologist E. K. Vaughan, Oregon State col lege, will discuss several straw berry disease problems including red stele root disease, fruit rots, virus diseases, and verticillium wilt. Roland Groder, fruit and vege table marketing specialist at Ore gon State college will review mar ket prospects and trends in the strawberry industry. Marvin Van Cleave, Salem strawberry grower and president of the Oregon-Washington Strawberry Council, will discuss a proposed project of the strawberry council for 1957. conservation reserve may be used oa their own farms should call at the county ASC office in Dallas. A work sheet can be prepared Jit ting the individual farmer's situa tion, so that he will then have an opportunity to decide whether or not the conservation reserve is a program that is needed on his farm, Ross stated. N. John Hansen, county exten sion agent, commented that it is worth the time of farm operators to look into the conservation re serve program and determine what use they might make of this program on their particular farm. Conservation reserve acres can be devoted lo seeding down to grass and legume cover for soil build ing purposes, as well as establish ing forest trees for future produc tion. The conservation reserve pro cram is limited to land now classi fied as cropland, Ross stated.

Stunipage has a nominal value, wood cutters State Harvest Of Vegetables Sets Record Almost ideal weather helped Oregon growers harvest a record crop of vegetables for processing last year, according to Steve Marks, extension agricultural economist at Oregon State college. Value of vegetable crops har vested for processing totaled $21.5 million almost a third more than the year before, Marks says. Ore gon s outturn of nine of the 10 main vegetable crops grown for processing weighed close to 300 million tons. That is about 40 per cent more than was grown in 1955 and 'considerably above average. While the acreage in the state planted to vegetable crops was somewhat larger than the year before, Marks says the increased production in 1956 came mainly from highor average yields. . Largest yield increases over the previous year were found in green peas, up 125 per cent over 1955: sweet corn, with an increase of about two-lhirds; and cucumbers which were up 60 per cent. National production of vegetable crops for processing also set new records. More than 8 million tons of vegetables, with a record farm value of 5315 million, were, sold for canning and freezing. ' Oregon ranked third among the slates in value of vegetables pro duced for processing. California topped the list followed by Wis consin, Oregon, New Jersey and Washington. Council Sets County Confab Polk county agricultural plan ning council has set Feb. 27 for th" county-wide planning and out look conference to be held in Dal las. Approximately 200 persons in the county are now participating in eleven study committees to take a look at the future of various agricultural enterprises, also youth programs and community and home living activities of Polk county aimed at looking ahead for 10 or more years. The culmination of Ibis commit tee work will be the summary of reports to bo presented at a county-wide meeting on February 27 to all residents of the county A number of the committees are doing special investigation work in improved market outlets, others are doing special investigation into the possibility of organization of growers organizations for sell- help programs. Committees are also making suggestions and rcc ommendations that can be used by the extension service and other organizations and agencies volvcd with the agriculture and home living aspects of Polk county. Joe Harland, chairman of the agricultural planning council, stated that the council was pleased with the interest taken on the part of the committee member ship and the active participation and diligent work of the commit tees. Most committees will meet at least four or more times with some of them meeting as many as seven and eight times during the winter months in preparation for final recommendations and re ports for the ro'inty-widc confer ence on Fehruary 27. information. COMPANY 5- get from six to seven dollars a cord for falling, splitting and bucking oak cordwood. Shown at left is Jack Walker, wood buckcr, and Floyd Allen about to put Allen's chain saw into action. IT'S HARD WORK, BUT Cordwood Make Good Money Cordwood produces double ac- tion heat. The fellow who makes it gets pretty well heated up in falling, sawing, splitting .and bucking. And when used as fuel, sound, dry cordwood produces a cozy warmth. . Five wood cutters are now getting cordwood on the Floyd Allen place on R.F.D. 1, Box 959, Salem. Allen's place, how ever, is in I'OIK county. ioya is of .the fourth generation of the J. C. Allen family, pioneers of laau. Floyd's expanding farm oper ation calls for clearing 25 acres of old growth oak, a five year project irom masting ana bull dozing to a field crop. A first step called for shooting larger trees and bulldozing them over in a tailing operation. Salem fuel dealers acquired the slutnnano to suit their re quirements. Ail in an, rioyu estimates that his 25 acres of old oak will yield nat less than 1600 coros ot woou. No matter what vou have to pay for cordwood, which is cut into 16-inch lengths by the fuel dealer, the farmer doesn't get much for his stunipage. A dollar a cord is about average, some times two dollars 11 inc nam is short. Floyd mentioned that a farmer in his neighborhood gives his stumpagc away lo wood cutters who come and remove it. So far few have appeared. The usual cutter working in Dairy Cheek Shows Trend Changing trends on. the dairy farm are reflected in the report of dairy inspections made during 1956 by the state department of agriculture's division of foods and dairies. O. K. Beals, division chief, says dairy farm inspections, at 3070, dropped 212 from 1955, and the 10,317 fluid milk samples taken for laboratory analyses were down 1021. Dairy farm and dairy cow num bers are down from 1955, and this accounts for the decline in both farm inspections and the drawing of official samples Even more striking are the switches reflected in the sediment testing of fluid and manufacturing milks carried on during the year. The dairy inspectors rook 20o fewer sediment tests of fluid milk last year than in 1955 and this was primarily because more milk went to market from form tanks in (he fast-disappearing 10-gallon cans.

Floyd suggests if you hanker to cut cordwood take it easy at first. When the cutters return to their regular jobs, come spring, Floyd will burn over the wooded acreage to get rid of grass and briars that have grown up since the clearing project started in 1 9oo.

V "V; m Breeders Mull Judging Plans For Program Man From Troutdalc Is Selected 'ta Judge Event MOLALLA (Special)-Whcn the Clackamas County Rabbit Breed ers association met recently, plans were made for the final judging of the progressive development program Feb. 15 with the Tuala tin Valley Rabbit Breeders asso ciation and with Oregon Branch of the ARBA. Tho judging will be by Judgo J. Cyril Lowit, Troutdnle, reports Mrs. Burt Searl, Molalla, in chargo of publicity for the county association. For the ways and means com mittee, Chairman Marion Elliott proposed that a basket social he held March 15 with a door prize to be awarded at the event. A spring rabbit show is planned for April 14 at the Clackamas county fairgrounds, Canby. The show com mittee will meet in the Marion Elliott home next week to Jay plans for the spring show. Discussion was held on trophies and awards for the 4-H show to be held in conjunction with the Clackamas County fair. The assn ciation Mill furnish a trophy for the breed having the largest num ber of entries. Steve West is do nating a placiuc for champion showmanship; Burt Searl will do nate a trophy; Jessie west, a NZW prc-junior of opposite sex winning best of breed. The open class for Clackamas County fair received tho following donations: a trophy from Marion Elliott for best of breed Californ inn; a sweepstakes to show on Cnliforninns by Ed Conroy; a trophy from Frank Axford on best opposite on Californians; $5 from George Schcrschcll on best breed ot New Zealand White; $3 from Frank Axford on best opposito six New Zealand White; a trophy from Jessie West on best fryer pen; a trophy from Jessie West on best of breed white Rex; a trophy from Jessie West on best of breed Dutch; a trophy from Frank Clark on best display points to count all breeds; $3 from Burt Searl on best display on New Zea land White; $3 from Mrs. Clinton Prcsscl on best display on Cali fornians. Announcement was made that the rabbit breeders association will meet Feb. 3 in Canby, start ing with a no-host luncheon, fol lowed by the business meeting, it also was announced that Oregon Stato Rabbit school will bo held in Corvallis March 2. At tho recent association meeting, Mrs. Searl rcnorted thot Clinton Prcsscl, vice Dres dent, presided in tno aDsence of Robert Bryant, Molalla, who is hospitalized. Tho county associa tion met in uanDy, Wheat Growers Belter Positions Oregon wheat growers soon will be in a much better position to meet tho needs of customers both at home and abroad, whether they want a protcin-rich hard wheat for bread and rolls or a lop quality soft wheat for cakes, pastries and biscuits. As a result of variety improve ment programs, seed supplies of three new wheat varieties were available last fall for planting a substantial acreage, the Oregon Wheat Growers league said this week. In Burt and Columbia varieties, growers havo two new high-yielding hard wheats capable of produc ing high protein wheat for bread flour in drier areas. The Pacific Northwest has not been producing enough of this typo of wheat lo meet tho growing domestic and foreign demand, with tho results that substantial quantities are be ing shipped in from other areas. Columbia, a hard red winter variety, is especially adapted to low rainlnll areas. Hurl, a nam white winter wheat, is rated as an excellent performer in intermedi ate rainfall areas.

Zinn was impressed with the friendliness of the Iran people. Ho said one must be careful what sub ject is discussed as they become quite emotional. This is especially so during religious periods. Zinn said he would not have be lieved poverty could be as bad as it was in Iran. He showed slides to show how the Americans had aided agriculture with machin ery and how they experimented for crop improvement. Ho related his experiences rid ing a cornel. He demonstrated how your whole body moves while rid ing, and stated that "you are sore all over. After riding horses in Klamath county for many years, "I assumed I could ride anything, but I found this new experience had its own sore spots." Expresses Surprise Zinn expressed surprise to learn that Persian rugs are worth about three times the value of oil in revenue to Iran. He showed a slide of a barefoot man making a rug. This rug, which would bo about four by six feet, would take about a month to make and would cost about tSQO to $800 in tho United States, Zinn questioned whether the man had ever had a pair of shoes.

IN HAND fashion centers, but they may not be the most practical selection for the woman who plans to have only one coat in her summer wardrobe, Mrs. Potter explains. To help women interpret fashion informa tion in terms of their own ward robe needs, she provides thest shopping guides: Plan a long-term clothlnfc ward robe around classic simple stylet that will be good for two or more seasons. Introduce high style fea tures in a few well-chosen clothei or accessories. Extremes may be smart for the season, but are for saken when the silhouette changes. for example, she says, purplei and lavenders are popular spring colors. However, H's wiser to pur chase a purple scarf to accent a neutral suit than to buy a purple suit or coat. Buying clothing reproductions is another way to join the fashion parade on a shoestring. Because most women can't afford the de signer's original, fashions are re produced in large numbers at lower prices. By studying the fashion trend, however, women can learn to select good reproduc tions that are keyed to the fashion silhouette, latest colors and fabries. Sewing dresses at home provides opportunities for the deft seam stress to combine style ana lannca into the costume she wants, Mrs. Potter points out. Among featured fabrics for spring are nubby tex tures, imbedded with blues and tiny knobs of fancy yarns that give fibers a homespun look. Scotch tweeds include small over-all in definite designs or bid bold and striking plaids. The new chiffon weights in natural ana symneuc fibers are practical and colorful, tho specialist continues. Silk surah, a twill weave 'and longtime favorite for men's ties, is popular in polka dots on white or in prints. Dots, ranging in size from pinprick to poker cnips, con tinue to be fashion - right this spring.
