S.U.C.C. Announces
New Claim Procedure
A new procedure by the State
Unemployment Compensation Com
mission will permit un anployed
workers to file claims for 1941 bene
fits the first week in December al
though the first waiting week may
not be served until the week begin
ning December 9, it was announced
today by Administrator Silas Gaiser.
As three waiting weeks must be
served before insurance is paid, the
earliest possible compensable week
for the new year will end January
4, 1941.
Meanwhile auditors and other rep
resentatives of the commission are
making every effort to secure com
plete wage reports for the four quar
ters starting October 1, 1939 and
ending September 30, 1940. Upon
these records 1941 benefits are
based. Because of a more effective
field force, and cooperation of em
ployers, the percentage of delin
quency this year is lower than ever
before.
Claim deputies in 22 employment
offices have been instructed thor
oughly in the new procedure in the
past few weeks. With preparations
practically complete for handling up
to a thousand claims per working
day, officials expect prompt pay
ment of benefits. Last year nearly
35,000 initial claims were taken be
fore the end of January.
Those seeking 1941 benefits must
have earned $200 in covered em
ployment in the base year ending
with September 30th, 1940. Benefits
are paid in weekly amounts of from
$7 to $15, with the total not exceed
ing a sixth of the case earnings.

Experiments at
OSC Prove Value
In Feeding Wheat
Wheat appears to be a satisfactory
substitute or replacement for every
feed grain with which comparison
was made in a comprehensive series
of feeding tests conducted through
out Oregon in the past year by the
O. S. C. experiment station.
The results of such feeding tests
with beef cattle, sheep, dairy cattle,
hogs, and horses have just been re
ported in a new station circular No.
137, entitled "Surplus Wheat Feed
ing Experiments in Oregon." Copies
may be had free.
These comprehensive feeding ex
periments and demonstrations were
made possible by the allotment of
350 tons of surplus wheat by the
Federal Surplus Commodities cor
poration. The wheat was divided
among the central and three branch
experiment stations for use in i
series of experiments which inclu
ed not only fattening tests, but over
wintering and maintenance feeding
as well.
In cattle fattening tests in eastern
Oregon about 1000 pounds of wheat
with 1500 to 1800 pounds of alfalfa
hay were required to fatten a steer.
Wheat was equal to, or better than,
barley or other feed grains in the
fattening ration. In tests at the cen
tral station, ground wheat was suc
cessfully used with chopped oats and
vetch hay for fattening baby beeves.
Wheat was found to be at least
equal, if not better than barley as
a supplemental feed for fattening

the hours of 10:30 a. m. and 3 p. m.

"The greatest good to the greatest
number" was put forth as a princi
ple to guide in matters of fish and
game conservation by the Oregon
beef calves on ladino clover pas
ture. Wintering experiments were car
ied out at the Squaw Butte experi
ment station and in the coast range,
which revealed the value of wheat
as a supplemental feed with low
grade hays. Wheat gave slightly bet
ter results than either barley or oats
in lamb fattening experiments at the
eastern Oregon branch station, and
was fed successfully to breeding
ewes at the central station. The
ewes showed no digestive disturb
ances and produced a good crop of
lambs.
Wheat proved to be an entirely
satisfactory substitute for the usual
grain in a ration for dairy heifers
or milk cows. It was also equal to
corn in fattening hogs, and success
fully replaced oats when fed to
growing colts and draft horses.
Wildlife federation in its fifth an
nual conference at Oregon State
college. By resolution and in dis
cussion the federation took the
position that economic factors and
the relationship of agriculture and
other industries need to be fully
considered in any conservation i.f
fort. At the ame time the federation
moved to make the organization one
in which the organized sportsmen
of the state would have control,
thereby making the federation the
authoritative voice of these groups.
A plan was adopted to give each
local sportsmen's club equal repre
sentation on the state body, regard
less of the size of the membership.
Other organizations interested in
wildlife conservation may become
associate members of the federation,
without voting power.
William J. Smith of Portland was
reelected president of the federa
tion, Harris Ellsworth of Roseburg,
.vice-president, and Norman Davis,
Portland, secretary-treasurer. The
federation unanimously endorsed a
proposal by Governor Charles A.
Sprague to give the Oregon game
commission more power in estab
lishing hunting or fishing seasons
and bag limits.
