As wheat is the chief surplus crop in Oregon and is now available at below parity prices for feed pur poses, its greater use for feed serves a double purpose, Lindgren points out. "Oregon products annually 75, 000 feeder cattle, most of which are sent to other states to be fat tened. Forty per cent of the lambs produced in the state are sold as feeders. The Pacifc coast produces only half the pork products nor mally consumed in this area. At this time there is opportunity to aid the war effort by converting a sur plus crop into meat, wool, fats, and essential livesock products," the author states. The bulletin contains a tabulation of costs and probable returns in feeding cattle and lambs at cur rent prices of grain, hay, and fin ished livestock. Both catte and lambs will show reasonable returns above feed costs at present prices on the basis of establshed ratios of feed requirements per hundred pounds of gain. Both this bulletin and earlier, more detailed publications on feed ing wheat to livestock may be had free.

A. Lindgren, extension animal hus bandman, in a new OSC extension bulletin entitled "Cbnve r t i n g Wheat to Meat." This fall, said Lindgren. with ground wheat at $35 per ton, hogs would need to sell for 11 cents a pound on the farm to pay for all the costs mentioned. As a matter of fact, they have ranked from 13 to 14 cents, thus allowing a safe margin. Under such conditions hogs can be fattened profitably on wheat, and the operator will also be con tributing to the strengthening of the food chain that leads to vie tory.
