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.

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.

"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.

Butterfat production per cow
in Oregon averages about one
third higher than the average in
the United States. Oregon stands
fourth, with California, Wash

higher in butterfat production
per cow. Greatest production per

250,000 cows produced an aver
age of 5,712 pounds of milk and
257 pounds of butterfat.

inches. These are strong, sturdy,
well rooted seedlings that will
get off to a good start when set
out.
The cost of the trees to farm
ers is $2.50 per thousand f.o.b.
Corvallis. Orders for trees must
be in by March 15. Anyone who
is interested in ordering trees
may secure an order blank and
list of tees available by writing

for farmstead shelter or feedlot

It won't be long until it is
time to treat cattle for grubs and
plans should be made now to se
cure the rotonone for treating
your cattle. 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.

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.

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.
