It was one of the few farm crops that did bring In cash to the extent that it could be con sidered profitable. Therefore more farmers will go Into the poultry busi ness in 1083. Not only farmers but clerks, wilows, tenais, and out-of-Job city dwellers will turn to poultry pro duction as a source of livelihood. “All this may or may not be a fa vorable sign of progress for the in dustry,” says Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the poultry department at North Carolina State college. “A large per cent of those people entering the poni try game make failures of the busi ness due chiefly to a lack of knowledge of fundamentals. Then, too, new de- velopment is sometimes out of propor- tlon for the local markets to consume or the existing facilities to move at fair prices. If a person has a dislike for birds, he should by all means stay out of poultry production.” Mr. Dearstyne points out that poul try growing requires long hours of work and study; careful attention to detail and the ability to accept and overcome disappointment. Combined Grain and Mash Trough Is Recommended A new Cornell bulletin tells how to build a combination grain and mash trough for feeding chickens. The com bination trough might be termed a double-decker with the mash feeder on top and the grain trough directly un der it. The grain trough is hold up against the mash feeder by a knotted rope and can be lowered at grain-feed ing time; or if no grain is fed, both troughs may be used as mash feeders ; this reduces the floor space necessary for feeding. The bulletin gives a list of materials necessary for building the combination trough and the illustrations are ar ranged in the proper order of building. If the lumber Is bought according to the list, little rip-sawing is necessary, according to the authors. They also suggest that the lumber, which Is of regular stock size, should be planed. because planed edges are easier to keep clean. Soft-Shelled Eggs There are several causes for soft- shelled eggs, says the Idaho Farmer. Sometimes when pullets are laying heavily, the yolks and whites are formed more rapidly than the shell forming material. Another cause Is the lack of shell-forming material or the vitamin which makes the mineral available. This vitamin is found In cod lived oil and sometimes the addi tlon of 1 per cent of cod liver oil in the ration or 2 per cent of the mash will help to eliminate tills difficulty. I would suggest adding 2 per cent of ground oyster shell flour to the mash temporarily until you overcome the trouble. Occasionally hens that are overfat will lay soft-shelled eggs and persist in doing so regardless of meth od of feeding. In some cases the shell forming material Is not made available fast enough and the condition rights itself when production naturally slows WANT AOS MORE SAFETY IN CANNING. Happy is the home canner whose canned products always keep. The four essentials in the keeping qual ity of canned goods are adequate heat in processing to kill the bac teria, yeasts and molds; second, an airtight seal that remains airtight; third, fresh sound products to start with and lastly, cleanliness, says Lucy A. Case, extension specialist in foods and nutrition at Oregon State college. Beans are more likely to keep if they are boiled five minutes before being placed, still hot, in the jars. All of these hot methods of hand ling help to satisfy the first rule of successful canning, adequate heat, says Miss Case. She gives further directions as follows: Pour the boiling kote water in which the beans were precooked over the hot beans to one-half inch from top of the jar, add one-half teaspoon salt to each pint and par tially seal. Keep the jars standing in hot water until all are ready to process. Then place them in the hot cooker, preferably a pressure cooker, and process at 10 pounds pressure, 35 minutes for pint jars and 40 minutes for quart jars. The hot water bath is not recom mended, but if it must be used, low er the hot jars into boiling hot wa ter which comes one inch over the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a boil again as soon as possible and keep it at a rolling boll for three hours. It may be necessary to add more boiling water to take the place of what boils away. Letting the fire die down will lower the temperature in the jars. At the end of the processing period, remove jars, seal immediately and invert to test for leakage, except with self seal jars. The cause of the spoilage of home canned beets that resulted In three deaths) at Dayton, Wn., recently was inadequate heat, as the beets had been boiled only one hour in the jars, reports to Miss Case indicate. These botulinus infected beets were also eaten without boiling after taking them from the can. A safe rule is to boil all home canned meats, fish and non-acid vegetables 15 minutes before tasting after opening the jars. WITH FARMERS AROUND THE STATE New Barleys in Klamath County. KLAMATH FALLS—Several new barleys are making considerable progress in Klamath county, parti cularly in the southern end of the county, reports C. Henderson, county agent. Some Atlas barley was planted in 193 2 with good re- suits, and the acreage of this varie- ty was expanded to about 2,000 this year, A demonstration of Wis- consin 38 last year resulted in 1800 acres being planted this year.

Klamath district will, with out doubt, increase the yield of hay from two to three times, says Coun ty Agent C. A. Henderson, who has been carrying on trials in coopera tion with farmers for several years. One field in particular, which for- merly yielded five or six loads of mixed alsike and grass hay, was treated with 100 pounds of sulphur per acre in the spring of 1931, and in 1932 yielded 16 loads of hay of a much better quality. It Is estima ted it will yield 13 to 14 loads this season. One load of manure mixed with sulphur was distributed on another field, and the alsike on the treated area reached a height of 22 to 24 inches, compared to 5 or 6 inches on the remainder of the field.

WE HEARTILY ENDORSE THE PENDLETON Pendleton Battery MADE IN PENDLETON A simple. Inexpensive, and effective way to secure direct sunlight for the layers Is to fill In eight or ten feet of space at the south side of the hen house with an eight or ten-Inch layer of cinders. The space may or may not be enclosed to keep the fowls from contaminating soil. In exposed loca tions, It may be necessary to provide a windbreak of some kind. Chickens dislike wind and will stay inside to avoid It. Cinders are specailly effec tive. Because of their dark color they absorb heat from the sun, causing any snow or ice to melt with the first ap- pearance of sunshine. This permits the birds to get out on the warm, dry cinders, and back In the direct sun shine while the ground Is still wet and cold or covered with snow.
