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.

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. Both
of these barleys look very promising |

Sulphur Helps Alsike in Klamath.
KLAMATH FALLS—The applica
tion of sulphur to alsike clover in
the Ft. 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.

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
