The 20-page booklet offers brief, basic examination of how the money supply of the United States is increased and decreased and of how the nation's monetary system works. State Hardwood Lacking Market Oregon hardwoods, particularly oak, do not now have an adequate market outlet, according to the Polk county farm forestry com mittce. Since research has shown that the quality of Oregon hardwoods is comparable to eastern hard woods, there is a need to promote hardwoods from this area as a quality product, says Wilmcr Powell.

Silverton Man Fixes Steam Outfits By BENlHAXWEtX Capital Journal Writer What winter hobbies do farmers have? Some, who (eel that they must always be gain fully employed, seem to have none at all. Others, who fig ure they can afford it, seek California's sunshine during the winter months. Harvey Mikkleson, who farms 250 acres out Silverton way, does something else. Harvey spends the short winter days and some of the lone winter nights repairing 01a steam threshing outfits and an- tinue internal combustion tractors that he acquires throughout the year. And he has Dlentv to keep him occupied. Right now he has 18 old steam rigs, five Cases, five Rus- sclls, two Gar Scotts, one Buffalo Pitts and four Advance engines, ranging from six to 30 and more horse power. In addition 10 mcse, Hnrvev has acouired four old Rumley kerosene burners, an old International gas tractor that pulled its last plow in the Waldo hills many years ago and a three wheel monstrosity ot 1914 called a Bull. Garners From Afar Harvey garners them from afar, clttmsv old 1912 Rumley gaso line tractor, rated 15-30 (15 horse power on the draw box, 30 on the belt), was acquired at rarma, Idaho. He covered 1.300 miles with his lowboy to get this one. It is a mc-cylindcr machine witn a 10 inch bore, a 12-inch stroke and make and break ignition. When it runs, and it was work ing until a year or two ago, it goes "kahunk, kahunk, kahunk" and exhausts most of its power moving around. The engine has a speed of about 350 revolutions a minute and is started by walking the fly-wheel. Follow Harvey around and he will show you another relic, now In storage awaiting restoration. This Is an 18-horse power Gar Scott, a chuffcr dating back to 1910. Mikkleson found It near Union where It was supplying the power for a peanut sawmill. He returned it to Salem on his lowboy. Inspection demonstrated it wouldn't turn over. Investiga tion disclosed a big mouse nest in the steam cylinder. An 8-16 International gas trac tor, dating back to 1917, was dis- that there is a need for greater knowledge among mill operators on how to saw, cure and handle hardwood. It was felt that there is need for wider use of uniform hardwood grades. Use of the na tional hardwood grade scale was favored. Other factors affecting the mar ket for Oregon hardwoods include the importation of foreign pro ducts, cuch as mahogany plywood from Japan. The forestry committee has been meeting frequently during the fall and winter, as a part of the Polk county program planning confer ence, according to R. H. Sterling, special county extension agent. Top Cow Barnes Bros.' Jersey cow .117-13 at Silverton topped all others with ,121.4 pounds of buttcrfat, giving 1,577 pounds of milk. Oregon state penitentiary farm owned Holslein No. 50 which gave 2.150 pounds of milk and 107.5 pounds of buttcrfat. frank Uratsinger's Jersey. Mil dred, made 105.8 pounds of butter fat and 1,580 pounds of milk. Red, a grade Guernsey in the Lester Lawrence herd at Aurora, made 102 pounds of buttcrfat and I.6IXI pounds of milk. James Dougherty's Jersey, Bonnie, at Woodburn gave 1,470 pountls of milk and 101 pounds of hulterfat. George Mayo of Salem, with six Jerseys, had the top herd average with 55.8 pounds of fat per cow. The cows gave 907 pounds of milk each. William Vogt. Salem was second with 24 Jerseys, averaging 50 9 pounds of buttcrfat and 8HII pounds of milk. James Daughcrty was third. His 37 Jerseys made 47.0 pounds of buttcrfat and 8.18 pounds of milk. Frank Gratsinger had 73 Jerseys average 43.5 pounds of buttcrfat and 785 pounds ; of milk. I llnisleln Avrrnse The Vnn Flue herd at Silverton : of 50 Mixed Holsleins averaged l.2fift pounds of milk and 44.5 pnunds nf hulterfat. Orval Itawie of Jefferson with 34 cows averaged 1.015 pounds of milk and 42.3 pounds of hulterfat. Macl.nren school at Woodhiirn with 28 Jerseys averaged 728 pounds of milk and 42 pounds ol buttcrfat. Herb Coleman, milking 65 Jerseys at Woodburn, had an average of 739 pounds of milk and 41 pounds of butterfat. The peni tentiary annex herd '148 cowsl made 1.154 pounds of milk and 40 7 pounds of butterfat. Buford and Orval Brown, Woodburn, and Les ter Lawrence of Aurora each had a 40 pound average. Testing in Marion county i su pervised by Reed Vincent nf Hub hard and Joe Bilyeu and Sieg Pommerening of Salem with head quarters at the County Agent's cilice. I f at rw-"". I ! 1 covered cost of Salem a few months back. Obviously it is now nothing but a rusty pile of scrap metal. But Harvey is enthusiastic about it. All of the ports except the seat are there and its four cylinder cngino can be made to run again and drive the antique through its creaking chains. Real Oddity Most exceptional oddity In Har vey s collection is the 1914 bun gasoline and kerosene tractor ac quired from an estate in the Sweet Home locality. This antique contraption, with five horse power on the drawbar and 12 on the pulley, has two speeds, one forward, the other re verse. Ignition was originally by bat tery but some later innovator rigged a friction drive magneto to the flywheel. Cranking this three wheel monstrosity via a fly-wheel ratchet would give any life insur ance company justification for cancelling its policy. Right now Harvey hns restor ation under way on a 1917 Rus sell steamer that he found near Losllne. This big, 16-48 ma chine had not been In operation for a number of years. Its own er or his neighbors had canni balized It of nearly every loose boll and accessory. But Mikkleson found a governor and other needed parts. He ex- necls to have this "really mod ern" steam rig ready for his an nual steam threshing demonstra tion come September. Member of "Fiends" ' Where do you get the parls to nut them back into running con dition?, Harvey was asked. He explained by mentioning that he was a member of the Steam Fiends, a society devoted to old steam encines. The boys do a lot of swapping between themselves. Also, he knows 01 a unmc or two who have wrecked old steam threshing engines for their boil ers. They si ill hove a lot of parts lying around. Sometimes il is necessary tn have parts made. When this in volves lathe work Harvey usually lets an experienced machinist do it for him. But he has power drills, acetylene and electric weld ing equipment, power grinders and a pretty fair assortment of machinist's tools in his own shop. With six years of experience as a collector behind him. Ilnrvey usually gets them fixed and keeps them running. Farm Calendar February ID Josephine Co.

(Capital Journal Photo) Nitrogen Main To Jump Bentgrass Growth Nitrogen is the main fertilizer that will increase yield of Bent grass on Willamette valley farms. according to five trials carried nut from 1933 through 1956 on Inrms in the Waldo and Silverton hills by Tom Jackson, Oregon Stale college soils specialist, and llnllis Ollawoy, Marion county agent. Fall application is not loo im portant but a split tfall and spring) application hns consistent ly been a little better than put ting all the nitrogen on in the spring. lOvcn during a dry spring such as Inst year, late applica tions (April 251 have consistently, produced good increases in yield, Jackson said at the iientgrass NOT A SINGLE REACTOR FOUND Oregon 's Healthy, By CI.AUDK STKUSLOI K Capital Journal Special Writer Oregon cattle were "perfectly healthy" during January as far as T. B was concerned. Federal and state veterinarians, whose duly it is to guard the public from disease, searched through 17.003 animals in l.fi!)l herds last month and were unable tn come up with a solitary animal which rearted In the sensitive tubercu lin test fur the disease. Tubercle bacilli have become so rare that only 44 real tors were liuiiid among all cattle tested in Oregon during HIBII: III Marion county the incidence is about one in 20,000. Records show th.it more cattle are being tested that arc on the census rolls, according to Dr. K. J. Peterson, State veter inarian. For all practical purposes the disease has been eliminated in (h(, ,j y accordin! , fir. A. O I J'. T?.Ttl charge of animal disease control who heads the force of 12 voter. i Innrifins now based in Salem I There has been no known case nf jl'B in Arizona for 10 years, he said. Owners Reimbursed Owners nf reactor animals, which must be slaughtered under 1 tat. "1 V Fertilizer growers meeting last week at Waldo Hills community hall. A total ol 90 pounds of nitrogen has consistently given the opti mum yield but this rate has gen erally resulted In some lodging. Recommendations are: 20 to 30 pounds of nitrogen in the fall, np ply an additional 50 to 70 pounds per acre between March 20 and April 25. Use ol phosphorus has not given as large yieltl increases with Benlgr:iss as with other grass seed crops in the valley, but in creased yields have been obtained with soils in the very low range of phosphorus content as shown by soil tests. It should be applied at 40 to 60 pounds per acre in the fall under these conditions. Cattle 'Perfectly 'Search Indicates the testing program, arc reim bursed a maximum of $32 for grade and $48 for purebred ani mals. The federal government pays about one-half of this, the remainder being shared by state and county. Federal share runs about $2,500 per month, includ ing both indemnity and cost of testing. In the 17 western Oregon counties all dairy and beef cattle arc tested fur TH every Iwo years, Beagle stated. Fast of the Cas cades testing is on a three year rotation, involving representative herds. A stepped up testing program for Brucellosis (also called Bang's disease or contagious ab ortion) may cost up to $450,000 in U. S. funds for Oregon this year, liiagle said. State and coun ty matching funds will about dup licate the amount. Plan F.radlratlnn U. S. animal health authorities plan to have hrncellosis eradicat ed in the nation by I960. The Ore gon goal is 19.16 or early 1959 Beagle added. Ahout 7.10, lion animals were test ed lor brucellosis in Oregon last year The Incidence In eastern Oreifon was one and one-half per cent, west nf the Cascades It is fll most eliminated. 1 roruanuivieai Consumption Rate Is Low Doesn't Compare With Other Cities of Same Size Portland has the lowest per capita meat consumption of : any city of comparable size in the U. S.. according to figures nrAcnnfoil Vtw TA7 T Vranl Oregon State college livestock marketing specialist, at this week's session of the livestock: short course series being held i at the courthouse. In Portland the average family that spends $175 for meat uses, spends but $2.74 of it for purchase of lamb. In New York a family who an equal iiii-UL uuubva puis out $32 for lamb. Fowler noted that 50 cities In the V. S. eat 80 per cent of the lamb marketings. Fowler suggested that growers try to figure out when to enlarge their flocks and herds and when to liquidate them. "Try to mar ket lambs before Memorial Day. A lamb weighing 75 pounds by tjuiiu id win iiiuuuuiy ui nig yuu 1c ...ill K..i-ni.l.. I-:-- ...... as much as a 90 pound lamb sold tho mirtrltn nf .lnlv" tho finwinlicf said. Hog growers were counseled to watch the Omaha hog market lor price trends locally. "Prices around 18 cents in Omaha usually mean 20-20 14 cent hogs here," he said. Fowler said that even though the Willamette valley barley-hog price ratio is more favorable to pro ducers than is the corn-hog ratio now prevailing in the Middle West, he did not expect a large increase in swine numbers in this area. The biggest expansion in Oregon is likely to come in eastern Oregon, he opined. Mike Huber of Oregon Stale col lege farm engineering department, . brought out the need (or concrete yards and pens in western Oregon livestock operations. Use ol six- inch mesh wire in concrete slabs increases its strength and costs only as much as 1 inch of concrete. He advocated sawdust or wood shavings for bedding if they arc ,-,ii irmi Mutiny, , Beagle states that this disease can be eradicated more easily than TB because a vaccine has been developed and also brucel losis is not as likely to go dorm ant and reappear later as Is TB. New lederal regulations on in terstate shipment of livestock win tena in speeu testing- lhkq county hertl of 12,000 cows which normally arc moved into Californ ia for summer grazing will no diiuht he the biggest single chore fur testers this season. Many Vaccinated Brucellosis testing in Oregon during January covered 42,33.1 animals of which .B43 per cent were reactors. There also were 1,337 suspects. A total of 17,544 calves were vaccinated in 816 herds. In Marlon county 1.DB7 cattle were tested, of which five re acted and 62 were classed as suspects. Polk county testers found but one reactor and 22 sus pects among 1,002 animals. Malheur county had the high-, est test total with 9,258 head. The lowest county disease Inci dence was Crook with .06 per cent, highest was Harney at 4.21' per cent, l)r Peterson says hrocollnsij costs U. S. cattlemen an estimat ed 100 million dollars each year.
