Hog Lice Riddance
Told as Defense Act
Believing that combatting hog lice
is important to the successful pro
duction of pork needed in the de
fense program, and that information
on the subject is not generally
known, Arnold Pieper has asked
that space be given information he
obtained on the subject from "De
structive and Useful Insects," Met
calf and Flint, 2nd edition, obtained
-from the Oregon State library. It
follows:
Importance and Type of Injury:
The only louse found on the body of
hogs is a blood-sucking louse, very
similar in appearance to the short
nosed cattle louse, but about twice
as large when mature. It reaches a
length of nearly V inch and is the
largest bloodsucking louse found on
any farm animal. On account of its
size, it is easily seen, although its
color is a dirty gray-brown, almost
matching the skin of the hog. The
margins of the body and appendages
are bordered wtih black. The lice
torment the hogs by piercing the skin
to suck the blood. This causes the
animals to rub vigorously against
feed troughs and fences and to scratch
with their feet. The skin becomes
thick, cracked, tender, and sore, the
animals restless and unprofitable.
Control Measures: Where the
number of hogs in the herd is not
too large the best method of treat
ment is applying a thin even coat of
oil all over their bodies with a fin
bristled brush. Especial attention
should be given to the inside of the
ears, the folds of the skin about the
neck and the inner surface of the
thighs, to be sure that all lice and
ggs are wet with the oil. Any of the
following mixtures is satisfactory:
(a) crude petroleum, (b) raw in
seed oil, (c) half and half kerosene
and lard, or (d) equal parts kerosene
and cottonseed oil. Every animal in
the herd should be treated and then
again in two weeks. Hogs must be
kept out of the sun and not driven
or excited for a day after oiling. A
simple and effective method of treat
ment is to apply crude oil or used
crankcase oil directly to the hogs
by means of a sprinkling can. Two
or three applications should be
made at intervals of 2 or 3 weeks,
If animals cannot be treated by
hand they should be dipped in nat
ural crude petroleum or the pro
cessed fuel oil or in one of the com
mercial coal-tar-creosote dips. The
Department of Agriculture also re
commends the use of medicated hog
wallows. They should be made of
concrete and should be drained once
a week or so changing from the oil
ed water to the clear water.
They should contain 3 or 4 inches
of water, to which is to be added
once a week, a quart of crude petro
leum for each hog. A day or two af
ter each application of oil, the wal
low is drained and the hogs are giv
en water without oil the rest of the
week. A one percent solution of
pine tar in water may be used in
stead of the petroleum on water.
Such a wallow should be built in a
shady place, all other wallows done
away with, and the oil added in the
evening, but not until the hogs are
accustomed to using the wallow with
water alone. The so-called hog oil
ers, consisting of an oil-saturated
fabric of some kind wrapped - about
a post, or commercial metal hog
oilers, against which the hog may
rub and so wet its skin with oil, are
not considered very effective, be
cause they cannot treat the parts of
the body worst infested. The lice
cannot live off the host more than a
few days, and do not breed in the
bedding. Suggestions for dipping
and detailed plans for a dipping vat
are given in U. S. Department of
Agriculture, Farmers' Bulletin 1085.
Predatory Animal
Funds Allocated
Seventeen Oregon counties will
share in the $10,200 allocation for
predatory animal control made by
the state department of agriculture
for the first six months of 1942. The
appropriations are based upon ne
cessity for. control and eradication
of predatory animals, and also the
willingness of counties to match the
sum set aside.
Maximum allocation for Morrow
county for the next six months is
$750.
An additional $9,400 has been held
for allocations covering the last six
months of the current year.

Heppner
Texas Pays
A newspaper career starting on the old Heppner Gazette carried Gar
field Crawford into a number of larger positions. As a member of a lead
ing Texas public relations firm he most recently directed the U. S. O.
fund raising campaign for the state of Texas, and is here shown (right)
with Jay Silverburg, Corsicana business man, and state treasurer for U. S.
O., in the offices of E. B. Germany, Southwestern Texas director, Dallas,
as Silverberg signed the final check for $78,000 which put Texas' quota
over the top. In transmitting the picture for benefit of old-time friends,
Crawford opined that he has worked publicity for many years, but this is
the first time he himself has been publicized.
Pendleton PCA to
Hold Annual Meeting
Thursday, January 22, was chosen
for the date of the eighth annual
meeting of the Pendleton Produc
tion Credit association by the board
of directors at its meeting held in
Pendleton recently, according to W.
E. Moore, secretary-treasurer.
Farmer and stockmen members of
the association will come to the
meeting from Wallowa, Union, Uma
tilla, northern Grant, and Morrow
counties the territory served by
the association. The members will
receive reports of the association's
business for the year and will elect
directors to succeed board members

National defense and the work of
the association in helping its mem

FIRST AID BOOKS WANTED
It has been requested by the first
aid chairman that those persons
having first aid books, revised edi
tion, and not in use, please bring
them to the sheriffs office. It has
been impossible to secure these
books from Portland at this time. It

Spokane, Wn. With the need for
Grand Coulee power for defense in
dustries becoming more vital every
day, further funds for this great
project were among those requested
from congress. President Roosevelt
recommended in his annual budget
message that it continue construc
tion and expansion of hydroelectric
projects in California, Washington
and Oregon at a cost of more than
$100,000,000 during the fiscal year
starting next July 1.
Of this amount, Grand Coulee
would receive $19,175,000.
Aliens Must Purchase
New Gun Licenses
Attention of all aliens is called to
the fact that before any alien is eli-
I gible to purchase a hunting or trap
ping license, he must buy from the
Oregon State Game commission an
alien license for the current year.
Gun licenses issued to aliens in
previous years are no longer effec
tive as the attorney general has
ruled that a gun license is valid only
during the calendar year in which it
is issued and must be renewed an
nually. would be greatly appreciated if these
books could be used until the new
supply arrives. It will be impossible
to conduct first aid classes without
these books.

New Light Fuels
Tested in OSC Lab
Oregon State College Some of
the light petroleum fuels now re
placing gasoline for some purposes
use more pounds of air per pound of
fuel than is the case with gasoline,
according to a research bulletin is
sued by the engineering experiment
station at Oregon State college, en
titled "Optimum Power and Econ
omy Air-Fuel Ratios for Liquified
Petroleum Gases."
Fuels on which tests were run
included propane, n-butane, iso
pentane, iso-octane, and gasoline.
With these lighter fuels leaner mix
tures than used with gasoline will
result in maximum economy, .the
report shows. Propane, for example,
was found to give greatest power
at 15.5 pounds of air per pound of
fuel, though greatest economy at
17.9 pounds of air per pound of fuel.
Gasoline, on the other hand, gave
maximum power at the proportion
of 13 to 1 and maximum economy at
16 to 1.
The bulletin, by W. W. Paul and
M. N. Popovich of the mechanical
engineering department, may be had
free.
