OREtX) STATE COLLEGE
Oregon high school students are
being handicapped by not being
required, or in some instances
even permitted, to take high school
rnulhoinatlcs, believes Dr W E.
Milne, head of the mathmatics
department here The sudden de­
mands of war service for more
and more people with mathema­
tics training have only emphasized
a condition that has long existed,
said Dr. Milne.
The college alone ia at present
being corti|>elled to provide in­
struction in high school algebra
for Close to 700 stuents who must
make it up before proceeding with
college inniathcmatlcs required in
engineering and for military re-
serve programs This constitutes a
heavy and unnecessary expense to
the state, says Dr Milne

Methyl Bromide Get*
Earwigs Too, Stated
Ex peri men la conducted in Calif-
ornia on European earwig in
nursery stock have whoUm that
thia peat may be killed rather
easily by fumigation with methyl
bromide Aa a reault of thia find­
ing. several Oregon nurserymen
who make large shipments to Cal­
ifornia are fumigating nursery
stock with methyl bromide in the
proven dosage* and are thereby
eliminating any possibility of de­
lay at destination or return of
atijek. r«Tx>rta the nursery service
of the state department of agri­
culture.
Until California recently re­
moved * the
‘ "reasonable cause to
presume" grounds for rejection of
nursery stock, some county agri­
cultural commissioners there had
sh«»wn great concern over ship­
ment of nurset-y stock from Ore­
gon. For a period of 10 to 12
years Oregon nurserymen have
feared rejection or condemnation
of stock shipped into those areas
in California
Recent studies have shown that
the earwig is not an agricultural
or nursery pest, though once
<*stab)ished in a favorable locality
its spread apparently cannot be
stopped. Climatic factors limit
its distribution, California re­
searchers have decided.

SOUTHERN OREGON MINER
Thursday, Oct. 29, 1942

When considered in terms of
the feed needed to produce live­
stock and poultry products. none
of
Oregon's
20-million-bushel
wheat crop can be called "sur­
plus." advises It. B. Taylor,
chairman of the state USDA war
baurd.
All of the beef, milk, mutton,
pork, wool and <'gi> .that Ore-
goo’s farmers can turn out tn
1943 will be needed. Vast amounts
of feed will be required to ob­
tain thia production.
Fortunately
the
chairman
points out, there's plenty of feed
available stored in the over­
flowing elevators and farm gran­
aries in the Columbia basin
wheat belt. The government feed
wheat program
provides the
machinery for moving this wheat
fiom the granary to the feed pen.
More than a quarter of a mil­
lion bushels of wheat were sold
under the government program to
Oregon farmers during Septem­
ber Taylor expects that this vol­
ume will increase every month,
as more fa rfftorti “become aware of
the feed value uf wheat.
Several years ago, when pre­
sent wheat supplies were still
merely a possibility, the O. 8. C.
experiment station in cooperation
with the
................
AAA carried on exten-
sive wheat feeding experiments
and demonstration*
These, aa
well a* teats in other states,
showed that wheat Is superior to
corn for fattening hogs, and is
equal to other feed grains in feed­
ing beef, lambs, poultry and
«ialry cattle, when properly hand­
led.
Information on beat methods of
feeding wheat.
together with
recommended rations, is found in
several recent bulletins issued
by the experiment station and ex­
tension service, obtainable free
from any extension office.
Farmers may pool ordera for a
carload of feed wheat through
county AAA offices, which can
also supply information on local
prices. Dealers who wish to pur­
chase wheat for resale to farmers
or for grinding into mixed feeds
can now do so without posting
bonds as formerly required
and engravers in a drive by the
Advertising Club of Los Angeles
with the U«Hible-barreled purpose
of aiding both the WPB'i efforts
to get war metals and the Boy
Scouts' preparation for civilian
defense.
A committee headed by Rich­
ard C. Rusweil aa bencral chair­
man
voluntarily undertook
a
canvass of local printers, adver­
tisers and engravers, asking them
to weed out all cuts, electros, and
type forms that had no prospect
of immediate use and turn them
in for accrap. Local Boy Scout
troops undertook the tedious job
of removing hardwood blocks
from the back of the cuts.
Money received will go to the
Poy Scouts Emergency Service
Corps for buying civilian defense
equipment such as stretchers,
trailers, and first aid eqquipment,
and the blocks will be used for
Scout handicraft and w«x>d-carv­
ing protects.
The Advertising Club's graphic
arts salvage committee plans a
follow-up canvass at regular in­
tervals and is asking similar
groups in other districts to do
likewise

Statp Raises Fees
For Shipping Points
A raise in federal-state shipping
point fees of one dollar a carload
on fruits and vegetables was put
into effect October 1«. reports the
state department of agriculture.
Necessary salary raises to keep an
experienced personnel and higher
operating costs were responsible
for the raises
Under the new schedule $6 is
charged for the usual car of
apples, pears, lettuce, mixed vege­
tables, cold pack goods in barrels
and brine cherries, with an $8
charge if the load exceeds 5 per
cent overage but does not exceed
1% minimum car.
The 36 fee and overage apply
also now to pruEP-t. fresh berries,
cauliflower, celery, fresh cherries,
tomatoes, peas, mixed fruit, cab­
bage, beans, peaches bulbs, car­
rots, garlic and parsnips with a
minimum charge of $4 per half
car or less on these commodities.

Since the Oregon milk, cream

of routine here. This grading has
been supplemented by quality im­

Baby Chick Operators
Prepare for Busy Season
Oregon hatcherymen are work­
ing their euipment to the extent
that suitable batching eggs are
available in providing fall-hatched
chicks for the nation-wide meat
producing campaign, reports H.
& Cosby, head of the poultry
husbandry department at O. S. C.,
who attended the fall meeting of
the Oregon waby Chick association
in Salem.
This was one of the best meet­
ings in the history of the associa­
tion, he said, with around 80 mem­
bers attendng. including a group of
visiting operators from Washing­
ton.
The labor situation 1s such that
it is doubtful that as much increa­
se In chicken and egg production
will occur next year as would
otherwise be possible, the hatch­
eryman agreed. Increased costs of
production will doubtless force a
slight increase in the price of
baby chicks, it was said.
