most hroadleaf plants and even

Use of this material is not
practical yet on a commercial
scale as much more research is
necessary on its selectivity. Some

Analyzed by OSC
Both farm prices and farm
costs have advanced sharply in
the past year, it is shown In the
annual outlook analysis for
spring planted annual and per
ennial crops just issued by the
agricultural extension service at
OSC. The outlook report con
tains sections on grain and hay
crops, potatoes and true crops,
forage crop seeds, tree fruits and
nuts and some other specialty
crops.
Although some farm products
declined in price, others advanc
ed to bring the general level up
24 percent during the year, rea
ching 246 percent of the 1935
1939 level in January.
During the same period the
general level of far costs in Ore
gon rose 11 percent Farm wage
rates in the state were od4 per
cent of the 1935-1939 average,
while the United tSates average
of other farm costs stood at ltiS
percent of the prewar level. By
giving labor a weight of 25 per
cent it appears that the general
level of all Oregon farm costs
is about 215 percent of 1935-1939-This
is significant in view of
the outlook for lower farm prices
during the 1947-48 marketing
season.
By adjusting farm operations
some farmers may hold net farm
income up in 1947-49 but on the
whole it is probable that net
farm income from 1947 produc
tion will not be as great as from
farm marketings during the
1946-47 season, the report states.
The volume of production is ex-"
pected to continue large, hut de
mand, both domestic and for
eign, is expected to weaken
somewhat.
The report contains several ta
bles and charts of basic data,
including figures showing the
relationship between the nation
al disposable income and the
farm value of foods. Another ta
ble shows the 1946 level of pro
duction of various farm pouucis
in percentages of 1935-1939 out
put. A copy is available frne
from any county agent or from
the college.

a1il2s exceed pears in
a:;;, ual man labor needs
Labor requirements for pro
ducing apples in the Hood River
i-alley are more than 50 percent
higher than the requirements for
producing pears in the same lo
cality, it is revealed in the report
of a sur.Vy of man labor re
quirement made f there by the
farm management department
of the CSJ experiment station
This report, published as sta
tion bulletin No. 420, shows that
annual labor requirements for
apple production total 380.8 man
hours; distributed throughout
the year but with two aisuuct
peaks in June for thinning and
October for harvest.
Annual labor requirements for
pear production, on the other
hand, are only 235.2 man-hours
arr -mged in a rather steadily ris
ing curve to a single sharp peak
in September.
The study was made on the
farms of 44 apple and pear
growers having both bearing
and non-bearing acreage total
ing about 10 percent of the en
ire acreage of the valley.
o
POULTRY CULLING NEEDS
YEAR AROUND ATTENTION
Poultry culling is practically
a year-round process that begins
with the selection of eggs for
incubation and ends with the se
lection of new breeding hens for
the following year, points out
Noel L. Bennion, extension poul
tryman at Oregon State college,
in a new extension bulletin. No.
673 on this subject.
While trap-nesting is ttie only
method of checking production
as a basis for culling, it is not
practical for the general farmer
or commercial poultryman, Ben
nion says. The next best way is
to study and apply tbe princi
ples of culling to avoid keeping
at a loss the low producing and
unprofitable hens in the flock.
Culling is profitable only when
the flock is given uniform and
sensible care, he adds. A daily
egg record is avaluable' asset in
intelligent, accurate culling.
Copies of the illustrated bulletin
are available from any county
extension office.

STUDY OF MAN t SUBJECTS
Employees of cooperative sales
and purchasing associations who
tttenu the sccj::i niviual h'rt
ourse arranged for them at OSC
March 17 to 27 will follow a def
inite schedule of clashes similar
o those used by the regular stu
dents. The course is conduricd
by the department of agricultural
economics.
The short course students will
take work in 15 different sub
jects from nine members of the
esident staff and seven guest
lecturers. Subjects range from
credit and finance to the psy
chology of human relations.
The two-fold objective of the
course given at the request of
the cooperatives is "to improve
the student's training in certain
technical subject matter in the
field of producer cooperative or
ganization and operation," and
"to improve the student's under
standing of the relationships of
his cooperative organization to
the social and economic life of
the community in which it is
located."

your garden tools now. It's plant
ing time, so let's move forward
at once to a better 1947 home
garden.
Roy Robinson, rancher in the
Lone Rock community, reports
an excellent kill of grubs in- his
cattle by spraying with rotonone.
Mr. Robinson was one of the ap
proximately 30 Morrow county
ranchers who treated his cattle
for grubs during the month of
February. He reports that one
spraying seems to have killed
all grubs but that he is treating
again to be sure that none es
cape to hatch into heel flies and
eventually more grubs.
A recent experiment conduct
ed by the North Dakota Agricul
tural college proved that grub
free animals gained 43 pounds
more weight than those infested
with grubs. Nineteen yearlings
were used in a six months ex
periment. Grub-free cattle gain
ed 136 pounds during the period
with grub infested cattle mak
ing a 93 pound gain. At present
market prices grub-free cattle
would make a substantial profit
which would surely warrant the
labor and small expense of treat
ing for grubs.
The home extension project
for March is "Color in the Home."
This is a discussion meeting of
the principles of the nse of color
as applied to the home. Assist
ance will be given on how to
work out a simple color arrange
ment for a living room. A color
scheme will do more to tie a
miscellaneous assortment of fur
niture together than any other
one thing. The lack of color may
cause a home to be drab and
uninteresting.
