OREGON GROWERS MAY GET CORN-HOG CASH PAYMENTS Although Oregon is a deficit state in both corn and hog production, Oregon growers of these commodities will be eligible to between three quarters of a million and a million dollars in cash benefit payments next year by joining the govern- ment corn-hog production control program, according to latest figures obtained by the Oregon State col lege extension service. The government's 3350,000,000 program to bring the present corn and hog production within the mar- l et demand is intended primarily for the mid-west corn belt but it is nationally in scope and open to growers anywhere. Examination of census figures shows that Oregon produced about 224,000 head of hogs annually when the 1930 census was taken, while lacreases since that time are be lieved to have boosted this figure rear the 300,000 mark. Seventeen of the 36 counties produce 5000 hogs or more a year. Under the new corn-hog plan a grower who signs up agrees to re duce his corn acreage by 20 per cent and his hog production by 25 per cent. If he raises one or the other crop alone he may sign up for it. Benefit payments for cutting down acreage are based directly on the average production of the 20 per cent to be taken out of corn. Present plans are to pay 30 cents a bushel for the average past produc tion, which amounts to paying a grower cash rent not to raise corn on that much land. With hogs, a direct benefit pay ment of $5 a head will be made on the 75 per cent raised after cutting down the production by the required 25 per cent. Thus if a man normally raised 100 head of hogs a year, he would agree to raise only 75 head. Then he would be eligible for bene fit payment of $375 in addition to the sale price of the 75 head raised. Payments will be made from the processing tax already paid. Clackamas county leads In hog production in Oregon with 24,757 } ad, according to the census fig- i res. Wallowa county is close behind with 23,459 and Marion is third with 20,070. Other counties with more than 5000 are Baker, Douglas, Klamath, Lane, Malheur, Polk, Til- lamook. Union, Wasco, Washington and Yamhill. Extension officials, who will soon be ready to present final details of the adjustment plan, are urging growers to save all sales slips of 1932 and 1933 hog transactions as these will be needed in filling out contracts. g WITH FARMERS AROUND THE STATE g x ■ ENNEESENSEEERHBnEEM Cooperation to promote the refi nancing of Oregon’s agricultural in dustry is the first project agreed on by the Oregon Agricultural Adviso ry council recently appointed by Governor Meier on request of the Federal Farm Credit Administra tion. This decision was reached at the organization meeting of the council in Portland, which was at- tended at their own expense by nearly all of the 32 members. To assist in the refinancing problems, the council will ask the governor to appoint county farm credit commit tees to serve voluntarily. O. M. Plummer, manager of the Pacific International Livestock ex position, was elected chairman of the council, A. E. McCornack, Lane county farmer and banker and presi dent of the Pacific Cooperative Wool Growers, vice-chairman, and L. R. Rreithaupt, Oregon State college ex tension economist, secretary. W. A. Schoenfeld, dean and director of the Oregon State college school of agri- culture, who was appointed as act- ing chairman by the Governor, pre- sided during the meeting until the permanent officers were elected. Six district chairmen were elected who, with the officers, make up the executive committee. George Ful- lenwider of Carleton, president of the Oregon Dairymen’s association and member of the state grange ag ricultural committee, is chairman of district number one; George W. Potts, Jefferson, president of the Oregon Farmers’ Union, district two; E. W. Carleton, president Ore gon Horticultural society, district three; Glenn Marsh, Hood River, president of the Oregon Cooperative council, district four; Fred Phillips, Baker, president Oregon Wool Grow ers’ association and executive com mitteeman Oregon Cattle and Horse Raisers, district five; and Henry Se mon, Klamath Falls, banker and master farmer, district six. In his statement to the council, Governor Meier pointed out that the outstanding problem in farm fi- pance at this time is that of getting land bank loans closed, particular- y in cases where some composition, r an extension agreement is neces- ary to bring the total existing in- lebtedness of the farmer within the .mount obtainable for refinancing. This was further emphasized by G. L. Jordan who represented the farm :redit administration at the meet- ng. He stated that thousands of and bank loans that have been ap- >roved have not been closed owing o difficulty and delay in working tut an equitable agreement with ?reditors for the liquidation of the old debts out of the proceeds of the loan. Celebrating their 69th wedding anniversary at their home in New Berlin, Ill., Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Lee entertained their 10 children, <8 grandchildren, and 5 great-grand children. Because she backed through a second-floor window in a depart ment store In St. Louis while try- ing on a pair of beach pajamas, Mrs. Charles Heiss won 112,500 damage verdict. Rodent Control Program Starts. ONTARIO—Following a series of meetings held in each district where rodents constitute a menace to crops the Malheur county rodent control program directed by County Agent R. G. Larson is under way again for this year, covering some 60,000 acres. A preliminary survey showed that where poisoning had been done for more than one year there was practically no infestation, but a con siderable number of gophers are still present on land where only many season's control work has been done. Sheep Dipping Vat Constructed. M c M innville — a dipping vat for sheep has been constructed on the Duerst farm In Yamhill county, us ing directions given in the U.S.D.A. bulletin on sheep dipping. Mr. Du erst was assisted in the construction of the vat and the dipping of his flock to eliminate scabs and ticks by S. T. White, county agent. OREGON CITY—Ab Johnson of Canby harvested 240 pounds of seed from two acres of Meadow foxtail grass which he planted in 1932, and several other Clackamas county far mers are now growing this grass for the first time, reports J. J. Inskeep, county agent, through whom the seed was secured. Meadow foxtail s a new grass in this county, Mr. Inskeep says. It grows vigorously under severe moisture conditions and is highly palatable and nutri- lious. While the name is often con fused with ordinary foxtail, which is a weed and a pest, the two gras es are said to bear no resemblance. Seed of meadow foxtail is expensive and is not quoted by seed houses, but many farmers are obtaining email amounts from other growers and planting seed plots. Mr. Ins- keep estimates an acre can be plan- ted in rows for $4 to $5. CORVALLIS—Fifteen bushels of leaned sweet clover seed to the acre on four acres is the remarkable yield obtained this fall by C. E. Ber- ger, Linn county farmer living just east of Corvallis across the Willam- ;tte river. His crop weighed 3600 ounds after cleaning. This sweet clover is the stem-rot resistant strain developed by Harry Schoth, federal agronomist at Ore- zon State college, and is the only train yet found that consistently produces a crop in the humid condi- ions of western Oregon. Berger slanted the seed in the spring of 1932, pastured it all that summer, and again this spring. Before letting it go to seed, Berger kept 14 head of cattle, two horses and 28 head of hogs on the four acres for the month of May, and all these barely kept the growth down. Berger believes this strain of sweet clover has a real place In the western Oregon cropping system as a soil builder and pasture plant, as it produces abundant green forage without irrigation through the dry months. He thinks its pasture val- ue will be greatly increased by seed ing some winter wheat with it in the spring. An important by-product, he found, is its honey value, as his two stands of bees filled 140 sections of comb honey from the patch in the ate summer after all the vetch blos soms were dried up. The greatest task ever undertaken by a relief agency in the history of private charity is drawing to a close with the final distribution of cotton clothing to more than five million families by the American Red Cross. At the direction of the Congress, be ginning eighteen months ago, the Red Cross undertook to convert the wheat and cotton surpluses of the Farm Board into food and clothing for the unemployed and needy. In the con sequent operation, this relief agency entered upon a commercial enterprise greater than any single commercial firm has ever undertaken in the same period of time. In the ensuing months the Red Crosa converted 85,000,000 bushels of wheat into flour and bread and gave it to 5,803,000 families. The distribution was through 3,700 Red Cross chapters and hundreds of other charitable agen cies. During the severe northwestern drought of 1931 the Red Cross also gave wheat in the form of food for live stock to 184,188 families. The clothing — dresses, underwear, overalls, jumpers, sweaters and stock ings for men, women and children, and even blankets and comforters—was dis tributed to 5,465,410 families. More than 54,000.000 ready-made garments and 92,000.000 yards of cotton cloth were given to the needy. This clothing came from 844,000 bales of cotton. The wheat distribution was conclud ed in June, 1933, and final distribution of cotton clothing is occurring in the fail months. In handling these tasks voted to it by Congress, the Rod Cross will ex pend from its own treasury $735,000. At the same time the organization car ried on its regular program of disaster relief; of service to the veterans of all our wars; of educational and welfare work through the Junior Red Cross; of health education and public health nursing and of life saving and first aid. Funds for this work come from the membership roll call the Red Crcts chapters conduct from Armistice Day to Thanksgiving Day, when every oue is invited to join the Red Cross and aid in this vital relief work. Seven hundred thousand women vol unteers under the Red Cross banner sewed for the needy last year and many thousands still are making cot ton garments for their Red Cross chapters. The Bank as a Rebuilder N place of a 3 per cent loss on an in vestment of $46,000 a large New York savings bank is now getting 6 per cent profit on an investment of $80,000, because It had the good busi- ncss judgment to spend $40,000, in mod- ernizing a group of 40-year-old tene- ment houses on the lower East Side which it was forced to take over on mortgage foreclosure, says an article in the Ame rican Bankers Association Journal. A j. ar or two ago the owner, who had always kept up his mortgage payments, b gon to neglect the prop erty, It became run down and the ten ants began to leave. The bank remodeled the buildings completely, putting in an oil-burning heating plant, incinerators and other modern changes, with the result the buildings are now entirely rented, and there is $14,000 a year coming In in stead of several thousand going out. At that rate the improvements will pay for themselves in three years. This same bank has done 15 other renovation jobs similar to this, and all bave proved profitable. The bank has Its own architects and is employing seven painters who are kept busy con- tinuously.

The best way to learn the color of an egg yolk is to break the egg, says Prof. H. R Botsford of the New York State College of Agriculture, tn dis cussing the frequent reports from mar kets that the shipper's eggs had “dark yolks.” The report means, he says, that the dealer sees a dark shadow und not a dark yolk when he candles the eggs, for candling shows lights and shadows and the thickness of the white determines the darkness of the shadow. A survey of 11,443 homes by the Uni versity of Illinois shows that nearly 22 per cent of the consumers have no preference as to the color of the yolk, 32 per cent prefer pale yolks, 31 per cent prefer orange yolks and 14 per cent prefer the medium-colored yolk. The price preference for light yolks. he points out. Is because of a dealer prejudice rather than a consumer’s prejudice against the dark yolk. The prejudice is not one of actual yolk color, as many believe, but of low qual ity which makes the yolk appear as a dark shadow when candled, and be cause dark yolks and low quality are often found In the same egg. Egg buyers who want the finest qual ity look for a “strong-bodied" egg; a strong-bodied egg shows a light yolk shadow, regardless of the actual yolk color. If the white Is thick, any yolk appears light when the egg is candled. Fresh Air and Sunlight Improves Poultry Shed The best way to clean and disinfect a poultry building, says a poultry man in the Montreal Herald, Is first of all to open up the windows and doors and allow the air and sunlight to get Into the place as much as possible. Take out all the movable furniture and leave it In the sunlight. Clean out all the litter on the floor and with a broom sweep the walls floor and celling clean. If the floor Is earth remove from six to eight Inches off the top and replace It with fresh gravel. The walls and ceiling should then be washed with a solution of water in which you have put lye. or some strong disinfectant such as creosote, or creolin. When the walls have dried white wash the place completely in- side, using crude carbolic acid In the wash. If you could put this white wash on with a spray pump so much the better. If the floor is cement it should he thoroughly washed, until no trace of droppings or litter remains. Make sure you get lots of sunlight and fresh air Into the building. If there are not sufficient windows In the place see that new windows are pro vided. . Iodine in Eggs Goitre is a deficiency disease the cause of which is a lack of Iodine. The best way of administering the iodine Is In some organically combined form. Hence the present fad for eggs of high Iodine content, especially In regions where goitre Is prevalent. On the principle that If a little iodine Is good, much must be better, poultry breeders have been adding iodine com pounds to feeds and drinking water. The method is so simple that Dr. C. H. Almquist of the University of Cali fornia finds It necessary to sound a warning against It. No one knows how much Iodine or how little should be fed to a laying hen or a growing chick. Until the correct doses are fixed by experiment the eating of eggs rich In iodine may have Its drawbacks. —New York Times. Keep Eggs From Spoiling To prevent spoiling, eggs should he kept In storage where the temperature does not go below 29 degrees or above. Co. These nre the freezing and germ illation points. For average farm con ditions the storage temperature should range somewhere between 35 and 55 degrees. In storing eggs be sure that room Is fairly moist hut not wot and also that the room Is free from odors.
