OF OREGON COUNCIL.
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.

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.

Oregon for Umatilla County.
EGG YOLK SHADOW
• SHOWS NO COLOR
Survey of Homes Indicates
No Preference.
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.

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

from odors.
