SMALL BUSINESS”
Writes Health Column
People are constantly wonder-
ing what to do about the common
tX)id. The classic answ er of course
is that an untreated cold will last
a i,out seven days, b ut proper med-
u-ation will cut its duration to
only one week.
Unfortunately, despite some ad-
vertising claims, science still can’t
uo much about a cold Itself, but
proper care and treatm ent ta n
greatly reduce discomfort. A
•♦fresh” cold is pretty serious to
the person who has it, but is
rarely dangerous. The hazard in
a cold is its ability to weaken,
laying its victim open to such
.serious secondary infections as
pneumonia. A person w ith a cold
should get plenty of rest, keep
warm, and avoid a heavy diet.

T h u t, a n ation al tales tax
would fu rth e r a gg ravate the s it

be expected to collect this tax.
e • •
In addition, it seems quite spe
cious to believe th a t Im position
of a national sales ta x would
reduce other taxes. T ru e , as a
beginning, there m ig h t be some
reductions in other Item s, but
once governm ent gets a new
source of revenue established,
there seems to be no end to the
exten t of brand new “ neces
s a ry ” expenditures.
Down through the years w e’ve
probably heard—and we
know
you have too—of the artificial
incubation of almost every kind
of egg laying critter. And the in
cubation has been quite success
ful.
Artificial incubation has cer
tainly long l>een a boon to poultry
raisers and breeders,
and the
game commission today would
be hard put to raise great num
bers of pheasants, chukar p a rt
ridge, and other game birds each
year by any other means.
Now comes the stopper, though,
when fish men have taken the
incubation principle and adapted
it to their own use.
Chris Jensen, chief fish cultur-
ist for the game commission, said
that artificial incubation of trout
and salmon eggs will get a try
In Oregon w ith the installation of
a 100,000 egg capacity unit at the
commission’s A læ a trout hatch
ery. The unit, now under con
struction, will be ready in tim e to
artificially lncul>ate eggs from
this year’s spring spaw ning steel
head trout.
Artificial Incuhation of trout
eggs has already been tested in
several states, and if it proves
successful at the Alsea plant, ad
ditional units may be given trials
at other game commission hatch
eries.
The most im portant feature of
the Incubator, as with the com
mercial poultry Incubators, is its
therm ostatic heat control, which
in this instance regulates w ater
tem perature to any desired degree
as it flows across the hatching
trays. W ith such positive heat
control, hatchery men will no long
er be forced to contend w ith vary
ing w ater tem peratures dictated
■by the whims of nature for hatch
ing trout and salmon eggs, espe
cially during the cold w inter
months when the bulk of hatching
Is under way.
The hatching time at game com
mission hatcheries varies any
where from 45 days to as much
as 3H m onths, depending on the
tem peratures of the w ater. Nor
mally It tak»?s about 50 days for
trout eggs to hatch If the w ater
tem perature rem ains constant at
around 50 degrees throughout the
5Oday period.
W arm er w ater
shortens the hatching time, but
as the tem perature of w ater de
creases the hatching tim e pro
gressively Increases. During cold
w inters w hen w ater tem peratures
remain barely above freezing for
long period«, the egg hatch is de
layed to w here It Is almost im
passible to rear trout to catchable
size before sum m er’s end.
With constant control of w ater
tem perature, the h a k h in g time
can be shortened or lengthened
as desired. Instead of having a
delayed hatch during cold w eath
er m onths or having one big hatch
at a station with the resulting
crowded pond conduit ns, hatches
can be controlled to come off
gradually over a period of several
weeks and at the optim um time.
Jensen believes that with care the
hatching tim e could actually be
shortened to as little as 35 days

of the state departm ent of agri

specialist
shows.
A total 64 per cent of the pota
toes subm itted for diversion w ere
accepted according to W. L. Close,
federal-state supervisor of sh ip
ping point inspection who noted
that the "percentage of specifica
tion A (No. 2’s) for the m onth of
November is down over the pre
vious month. This reflects the
diversion factor in that the diver
sion of entire fields of field-run
is now out of the picture.”
The total for Oregon in Novem
ber amounted to 507,179 cwt., or
1,409 cars; specification A, 285,-
339., or 793 cars (56%) for a total
cash to diverters of $142,669.50.
Under the potato diversion pro

to dispose of supplies in excess of

Diversion potatoes are used for
starch, feed, or flour. Any pota
toes utilized for feed m ust be
cut, chopped or sliceed in order
to qualify.
Paym ents a ie made

W ater content of snow is low.
Phlox Point had only 4.9 inches

Every day, thousands of folks here in the
Pacific West get the correct time from us. In many places,
they just dial a number. This connects them with a
machine which automatically gives the correct time.
In other areas, local operators are always ready to give
you the time. Of course, you may not need to use this
service every day — but itjs nice to know the correct
time is as near as your phone. And this service is just
one of the many useful “extras” that adds value to your
telephone.
