Several week, ago we com mniol in this column on a County Wheatgrowers Associa tion executive committee meet ing and a report made by Mr. Mliton Morgan who accompanied Milton on a tour of the Western Utilization Research Laboratory In Albany, Calif. One of the items that this laboratory was working on was a "shelter war nr" made of wheat to be used In bomb shelters In case of an atomic attack. We did not like th uta vcrv well of having to wait until an atomic attack to help eat up the large wheat sup r,i rtwentlv we have a report on some promising new wheat food products that tne laooraiory researchers are working on that omimia considerably more appe tizing. They are (1) milk-like products of high protein content, irrH and supplemented with vitamins and minerals; (2) a hlghproteln powdered ia m isnrlnkle over other foods of low protein content; (3) a meat-like product similar io jer ky or dried sausage and requir ing no refrigeration; (4) canned bulgour; (5) dry Instant bul gour; (6) wheat gum gluten for o hinHir in boned meats; (7) wheat snacks and wheat candy; (8) flour of different flavors, ai loonor hreads of higher wheat content having superior texture, flavor and keeping qual ity and; (10) giiadln foams, Mnnrirvi flavor and similar to whipped egg whites.

In five runs, since December 1, of the experimental light trap on the Stump holly farm near Monmouth, 23, 225 starlings were caught. The trap also netted 2o other birds, including 19 red wings. 4 robins and 3 warblers. The trap, used at night, recently attracted a Life photographer. This trap is a huge nylon net funnel terminating in a wire trap behind which 1000-watt lights attract the starlings as a crew of drivers "flush" the birds from holly trees. It has been operated once a week, usually on Wednesday nights, since Decern ber 1. In eastern Oregon, where an estimated 1.2 million starlings were exterminated iasi toxic French fries accounted for most of the destruction. This method is being repeated in feedlot areas. . aa ctnrline distress call used to keep the birds out of holly orchards is snow... v.. siderable success.
