News From C. A. Office i " ' 'v v ' J . yX Marketing fat hogs at lighter weightsis one way to save grain during the current emergency, says H. A. Lindgren, OSC exten sion animal husbandman. Lind gren points out that as a hog gains weight it becomes less and less efficient in its use of feed. For example. 359 pounds of feed will grow a 100-pound hog into a 200-pound animal. But it takes 415 pounds of feed to make a 200-pound hog into a 300-pound animal. Even more grain is re quired for the next 100 pounds of gain; it takes 470 pounds of feed to make a 300-pound hog into a 400-pounder. The moral is, ol course, that you get far better returns from feed marketed through 200-pound hogs than from feed sold through 400-pound animals. A second important grain-s.'V-ing idea fdr the hog producer is to save all the pigs at birth. Each pig lost at farrowing represents a loss of 140 pounds of grain. Each pig that dies at 10 weeks of age represents a loss of from 250 to 275 pounds of feed. Guard rails, sloping floors in the far rowing house, and electric pig brooders are among the ideas that are being successfully used by many hog raisers to save more pige per litter. With these helps, some growers raise eight to nine pigs per litter. The Oregon aver age is five to six. AT LAST! Medical and Hospital Care for YOU and YOUR FAMILY... at modest cost PLAN 1 .

Nom '. tr Ztno ltot O. 4 jorttoW, Mem or MedrenL Over in our neighboring state of Washington, farmers in the eastern section are planting more conifer trees as windbreaks. That is the report received by Charles R. Ross, extension forest er, from Washington State col lege officials. Heretofore, Russian olive and black locust have been the trees usually planted for farm windbreaks. This development, thinks Ross, may be of considerable interest to farmers in eastern Oregon, since conditions are about the same as in eastern Washington. The Washington farmers say they like conifers because the trees achieve a good growth, make good barriers against the wind, and keep their color the year around. The conifers planted include such varieties as Norway spruce, yellow pine, arborvitae, and Douglas fir. Some eastren Wash ington farms are also planting Chinese elm. One raeson why plantings of Russian olive have declined in eastern Washington is because the die-back disease has appear ed in some places. So far this disease has been reported in only a few scattered localities in nor theast Oregon, Ross says. Circulars are available at this office which tell about planting of trees for windbreaks. o "Patterns for Kitchen Cabinets," by Maude Wilson, housing spe cialist of the Oregon State col lege experiment station, has just been issued as station bulletin No. 446, the second in a series of two comprehensive, illustrat ed bulletins dealing with this subject. The first was "Consid erations in Planning Kitchen Cab inets." This second bulletin applies the principles set forth in the first, giving actual plans with detailed drawings for making and assembling kitchen cabinets. The first section of the 96-page ouiietin is devoted to design and the second to assemblies. The design of a base cabinet ! wiht drawers is mroe important : than any other detail of the kit chen, says Miss Wilson, because drawers are relatively expensive to build and remodel, and be cause it is difficult to plan them so they are readily convertible to new uses. 0 Butterfat production per cow in Oregon averages about one third higher than the average in the United States. Oregon stands fourth, with California, Wash ington and New Jersey ranking higher in butterfat production per cow. Greatest production per cow was recorded in 1941, when 250,000 cows produced an aver age of 5,712 pounds of milk and 257 pounds of butterfat. o Here's something you don't know. A steer will eat its own weight in grass every seven or eight days. It's a good thing they're not as hungry as grass hoppers or crickets, who do this stunt every day. e o Forest trees for farm planting for shelterbelts are again avail- Marriage Vows Taken By Kinzua Couple Dec. 26 Katie Jellick, an employee of the Kinzua Pine Mills company for the past ten years and Matt Boun of Nevada City, Calif., were united in marriage Friday, De cember 26 at The Dalles.

While the time for treating varies from winter to winter, it is generally during the month of February that the grubs are treated. The first treat ment should be made about 30 days after the warbles appear on the backs of the animals. A sec ond treatment should be made about 30 days after the first treatment. If all cattlemen would trect their cattle it would be possible to almost eliminate the heel fly, which is a part of the life cycle of the grub, in a few years. Rotenone for treating cattle for grubs Is available at local drug and hardware stores. turning the end of the week.

SEVEN HUNTERS KILLED DURING 1947 SEASON Hunting accidents during the 1947 small and large game sea sons totalled 22, of which 7 re sulted in fatalities, according to figures just compiled by the Or egon State Game commission. The number includes 12 deer, 1 elk, 1 bear and 8 small game hunters. Careless handling of firearms resulting in accidental discharge was the cause of 10 of the acci dents. Nine persons were hit by other hunters, either being mis taken for game or standing in line of fire or being struck by ricocheting bullets. One duck hunter was drowned, one deer hunter killed when he fell off a cliff and cause of accident for one is unknown. Angling regulations lor game fish for the 1948 season will be up for consideration by the Ore gon State Game commission when it holds the statutory hear ing for this purpose on Friday, January 9, at its headquarters at 1634 S. W. Alder street, Portland. . o ELK HUNTERS WARNED TO FILE REPORT CARDS Every elk hunter, regardless of whether or not he killed an elk, is required by law to file a re port with the state game com mission within 30 days after the close of the season, C. A. Lock wood, state game supervisor, ad vises. Under the law passed by the last legislature, the commis sion is authorized to refuse to is sue an elk tag the succeeding season to any hunter who fails to make such a report. A card for this purpose was attached to each elk tag. Information ob tained from these cards is con sidered essential in the manage ment of Oregon's eik herds. To date, ' 8,000 returns have been filed and a hunter success ratio of 20 per cent is indicated. However, this ratio may be somewhat lower when all the reports have been recorded since unsuccessful hunters form the larger portion of those slow in reporting. Guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Turner Thursday night were Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Den man and three children of Med ford. Denman is an attorney.
