A trial conducted at the Utah exjierlment station comparing creep feed for lambs resulted In 0.50 pound average dally gain when rolled barley only, was fed as the creep ration. 063 pounds average dally gain, was made on a 70 rolled barley and 30 mollasses dried beet pulp ration; 060 pounds on 50 rolled barley. 30 chopped oats, 10 molasses dried beet pulp and 10 cottonseed oil meal. Relatively simple feed rations for creep feeding will often give good results If the creep pen Is well arranced. If the feed Is kept fresh. If the IngredlenU are of high quality and palatanie. Pelleting Increases consumption and will pay where pelleted feed can be obtained economically A visit last week at the Don Crecnup ranch on Hlnton Creek revealed that he has evidently met many of the requirements In creep feeding as indicated by the looks of the lambs and the amount of creep that they are consuming. The creep Is lo cated in a building where the sheen are kept at night and close to the feed racks for the ewes. Lambs ev idently are using ho creep freely and appear to be making good dally gains. Forty Morrow County home tr.ittrt came bark frfrt Frll. ton on March 23 with a broader view of a healthy respect foe Prndleton's Industrie and State Institution after touring the Pen dleton Woolen Mills, Igleheart Brothers. Jello Division of Gen ers Foods Corporation, and the Eastern Oregon Stato HoapltaL The tour, directed by members of the county advUory commit te for home economics, Includ ed members of all eight exten sion units In the county. The morning was spent In touring Pendleton Woolen Mills which was started In IMS by Thomas Kay whose family had long been associated with woolen business In England. Here the women saw tne processes or y CSTHtl EHMIS carding, spinning, weaving, dye ing, napping, and finishing. Only the Pendleton blankets are made In this mill.

The month of March marks p a nice record of rainfall which makes crop prospects consider- bly more optimistic than they looked two months ago. Rain record cooporators, Don Helkler, of the west lone area reports 30 Inches while Harry Proud foot, of the Butercreeic Junction community measured 2 03; At these two farms the greatest amount of rainfall received In 24 hour period was a third of an Inch. This was not the case In some communities In the county where heavy rainfall caused considerable runnoff and soil erosion. Generally, however, all was welcome and damages done was not too great With over five Inches of rainfall since the first of the year In most communities, all we are hoping for now Is periodic rains In the next three months. When the word "subsidy" Is mentioned, many people think only In terms of aid to farmers. The question then comes up as to whether any group except farmers are helped by subsidies. To help answer this question, lets look first at the USDA bud get request for 1961, and see how much of the total agricultural budget actually finds its way to the grass roots farmer. The USDA budget request for fiscal 1961 totals $6.2 billion. Out of this, programs predominately for the benefit of farmers amounts to $1.3 billion a fifth of the total. Related businesses other than farmers amounts to $1.8 billion nearly a third. These related businesses Include storage, handling, and transportation firms; Interest, operating, and other program expenses. The half remaining ($3.1 billion) is chargeable to programs benefit ting all of us foreign relations, school lunches, meat Inspection and the like. fabric for aome of thla ready to wear Is woven here, however, and shipped to these places. Needless to say the ladies did some purchasing whll there. At 1:30 p. m. the group split up with about half going to the Igleheart Brothers Flour mui ana the rest to the State Hospital. Mrs. Warren McCoy. Irrtgon County Committee women, took her party to Iglehearti wnere they were taken in a rreigni elevator seven stories up, and then proceeded to walk down from floor to floor watching the steps In making flour out of wheat. The many sittings through silk screens and the "shakers" that mixed the flour and the sacking proved very In (cresting. The prepared dough nut mix which the mill manu facturers seemed to demand the largest attention, however. The large scale preparation or tne douchnut mix, with the atten dant shoveling out shortening from a No. 400 barrel really made the unit gasp. Each batch of doughnut mix Is tested In the mlll'a test kitchen o there's doughnuts and coffee all day long. The mill expressed Its good will to the mothers by giving each of them a box of Swans- Down Cake flour. Thla tour proved to be one of the most popular events of the Extension Unit's program for this year.
