STATE'S POULTRY INDUSTRY STABLE Greater stability in Oregon's com mercial egg and chick hatchery bus iness than prevails in other sections is apparent from a report on the ag ricultural situation just released by the Oregon State college extension service. The number of salable chicks hatched by commercial hatcheries in Oregon during Febru ary was reported as 1 per cent more than in 1930, while for the whole country there was a decrease of ov er 37 per cent "Oregon egg producers apparent ly intend to profit from the market outlook information they received earlier in the season," the college economists say. "These reports pointed out that the demand for eggs Is expected to improve and Only 18$ of mankind are independent at the age of sixty T. . n HE other 82 would adopt some syntem of saving If they could do It all over again. Our savings plan will help you enter the class of 18. The man who won't stop goes farther than the man who won't start. Farmers and Stockgrowers National Bank Diiore Is No Substitute for Safety the supply to be less during the 1931-32 marketing season." Because of the sharp cut in chick Hatchings in California and Wash ington, there was a decrease of al most 40 per cent for the three Pa cific coast states combined. Heavy reductions in hatchery operations in the Mountain group of states result ed in nearly 50 per cent fewer chicks hatched in February. Bookings of orders for delivery of chicks after March 1 are reported at just about one-half of the 1930 bookings at the same time. This ap plies to the whole country and the Pacific coast too, but the Mountain states show a greater cut Low egg prices and lack of funds for buying chicks are said to be the chief fac tors which have caused poultrymen to curtail. The good reputation which has been established for the Oregon bred poultry has been a factor in stabilizing the demand for chicks from this state. UNION PACIFIC TO SPEND 70 MILLION Portland, Ore., March 16. The Union Pacific 1931 new work and maintenance of way and equipment budgets provide for expenditures aggregating a total of more than $70,000,000, an amount comparing favorably with similar expenditures in recent years, according to an an nouncement today. The mainten ance of equipment budget which includes locomotive, freight car, passenger car, motor car and work equipment repairs and shop ma chinery and tools, aggregates $33, ports, which were about 102,000,000 pounds. For the past five years there has been Imported into this country ap proximately 155,000,000 pounds of foreign combing and clothing wool each year, hence the 1930 total rep resents a gratifying decrease. The total of all foreign wools imported Into the United States In 1930 was 162,000,000 pounds, against 1929 im ports of 277,000,000 pounds. Imports of carpet wools during 1930 totalled 93,000,000 pounds, compared with 175,000,000 pounds In 1929. It is pointed out by the National Wool Marketing corporation that since adequate tariff has been pro vided for American grown wool there has been a marked tendency on the part of mills in this country to increase the proportion of do mestic wools used. During 1930 the consumption of foreign combing and clothing wools by mills reporting to the govern ment was nearly 30 per cent less than for 1929, 33 1-3 per cent less than for 1928, and 33 1-3 per cent less than for 1927. The decline in foreign wool Im ports during 1930 is due chiefly to the marketing program of the Na tional Wool Marketing corporation which has given the grower the fullest possible protection of the tariff and has given him preference In the domestic market As a result of this activity of the grower-owned marketing organiza tion, stocks or foreign wools in this country are less than they have been for some time, which will prove an Important facotr in stim ulating improvement in the domes tic wool situation. Illlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll At Heppner CHURCHES CHURCH OF CHRIST. Joel R. Benton, Minister. . Mrs. Wm. R. Poulson, Director of Music. Bible school, 9:45 a. m. Morning worship, 11 o'clock. Christian Endeavor, 6:30 p. m. Evening worship, 7:30 o'clock. The supreme and primary work or task of the church is to make Jesus Christ known and loved and obeyed throughout the world. Easter, as a day of peculiar and particular celebration, has come and gone; but the Christ of Easter has not gone He Is Risen and His claims upon everyone of us are not to be lightly disregarded they are claims based upon His vicar ious atonement upon His love and sacrifice for everyone of us upon the wonderful provision He has made for us thereby, not only in this life, but in the world to come. Let us, then, be not Insensate, but alive to His proffered love and mer cy; and therefore render unto Him our due meed of praise and service. "Come, let us reason together, salth the Lord." Our service to Him is one of the most reasonable things in the world and we fall far short of our God-given potentialities if and when we leave Christ and Christianity out of our lives. Let this coming Lord's Day, then, be the time when you will begin to serve Him who has made all good and worthwhile things possible for us both here and hereafter. If you have not a Church home, we urge and invite you to come and worship with us. Come into our live and growing Bible School; then remain for the Morning Worship. Finish up this day by attending the Chris tian Endeavor and the Evening Worship. It will repay you well. The sermon topics for the coming Lord's Day are: Morning Worship, "Old Paths." Evening Worship, "Whose Mark Bear You?" "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord." Isaiah 1-18. METHODIST CHURCH. 9:45 a. m., Sunday School. 11:00 a. m., Morning worship hour.

Henderson, federal vet erinarian with headquarters at Spokane was in the county last week in company with C. W. Smith, county agent, investigating the causes of the large number of losses in swine herds during the past several months. The exact cause for losses that have occurred had not been determined before, al though experts had spent consider able time making investigations. After talking with farmers who have had losses in their herds, and after examining one pig that had died recently Dr. Henderson pro nounced the cause of the trouble mineral and protein deficiency in the diet of the pigs. This trouble is associated with internal parasites which lower the vitality of the ani mals and once the system is out of condition it is not possible by feed ing wheat alone for the pigs to re gain their health. Dr. Henderson pointed out that the most economi cal gains in fattening pigs had been made by feeding wheat when sup plementary feeds were given. A mixture of ground limestone, ster ilized ground bone meal flour, and salt was recommended and this should be kept before the pigs at all times. If the pig3 are receiving a large quantity of skim milk or if GIVE YOUR SPRING CHICKS THE RIGHT START WITH Sperry Chick Feeds We carry a full line priced right.

Dr. Hendreson condemned the us ing of high priced minerals which are prepared and sold by many firms for all ailments of swine as they are no better than the one which he recommends, and the sim ple mineral mixture can be pur chased locally at a very low cost per pound. A series of meetings In the coun ty at which Dr. Henderson will speak on swine diseases and sani tation and in which H. A. Lindgren. livestock extension specialist, will discuss swine feeding and manage ment, will be held in the county during May. The time and place will be announced later. Anyone having sick, pigs should keep In touch with the county agent since Dr. Henderson might be available next week to make further examin ations to determine the cause of the swine troubles. trilling Values tFuii help you Save ytto8q SpeimallS "Oxhide" Overalls Full Cut and Strongly Made Men's Sizes Boys' Sixes First quality 220 Hue demm furnishes the basic strength of this splendid value in work clothes !
