Egg-Feed Ratio More Favorable For Poultrymsn The all-im portant egg-feed ra tion for commercial poultrym en is more in their favor now than it has been anytim e since 1945, states Noel Bennion, OSC ex ten sion poultry specialist, who fore sees excellent prospects for the states egg producers during the next six months. The poultry specialist point out th at a dozen eggs will buy about 17 pounds of feed today. March of Dimes DANC Ashland Elks Temple SATURDAY JANUARY 29, 1949 Sponsored by Ashland Lodge Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks 944 Senators Compose Bill For Federal Aid to Education (Courtesy “The Siskiyou’’) Wa hington, D. C., Jan. 6 (IP) A bill enabling the fe er;.i gov ernm ent to participate in tne fin ancial support of schools was in troduced in the United States Senate today by Senator Elbert D. Thomas, Democrat, of U tih. Suport for the m easure, which in the same form was adopted by the Senate in the 80th Congress by a vote of 58 to 22, is bi-parti san. The new bill is S246. Senator Taft, who introduced the bill in the last Congress, e n dorsed the new bill in behalf of the Republican sponsorship. The am ount involved is $300,- 000,000 per year for the purpose of helping the states, particularly those in greatest need, to provide schools for all children and to help equalize educational oppor tunity by setting up a minimum foundation school program . The bill seeks to provide for every child in the United States and expenditure of no less than $50 per year for education. An im portant item of the bill provides th at control of educa tional policies shall rem ain in the hands of the states and their lo calities. Federal control or in fluence of the educational pro gram is specifically prohibited. A year ago, Bennion states, a dozen eggs were w orth only a- bout 13 pounds of feed. Together w ith that favorable balance, Bennion anticipates iygh er egg prices for the first six m onths of 1949 as compared w ith the same period in 1948. The pic ture for the last half of 1949, however, is not so rosy. Everytim e there is a favorable egg-feed ratio it brings an in crease in the num ber of chicks hatched. Chicks hatched this spring, Bannion points out, will be the pullets that go into th? laying flocks next fall. Conse quently, there may be a general slackening off of egg prices d u r ing the fall months. Nationally, the U. S. D epart m ent of agriculture has requested a 10 per cent increase in the num ber of chickens. The Oregon US DA council, however, has re quested a 15 per cent increase in this state's chicken num bers. This requested step-up is due m ainly to the rapid increase in population that has taken place. In the past four or five years Oregon has swung from a poultry and egg exporting to an im port ing state. The long-time prospects for Oregon producers of m arket eggs and poultry meat is excep tionally good, Bennion believes. Recent reductions in the price of lum ber will encourage more persons to enter the poultry bus iness. Bennion concludes. Poul trym en cannot safely pay more than $4 or $5 per bird at present prices in constructing new build ings to house their laying flocks. Remodeling present buildings of fers lower cost possibilities. News Review $3.00 per year A ll Proceeds Go to the March of Dimes Dancing Begins 10:00 p. m.
