Poor quality eggs tend to reduce purchases by housewives, and this in turn lowers the prices and profits re ceived by both farmers and dealers. Thus with the arrival of warm weath er, greater care should be taken In handling eggs as a truly perishable product Too commonly eggs are held In the back room of a store which also serves as storage space for various items, some of which should never be In the same room with eggs. This room during the summer months will frequently have a temperature high enough to start the Incubation of fer tile eggs. Another criticism in this connection la that often the small country buy ing stations do not have satisfactory places to hold a product as perishable as eggs. In one instance last summer, when the prevailing temperature was about 00 degrees Fahrenheit, there was a produce house consisting of a large room covered by a sheet metal roof. In this room poultry was being fed and eggs stored until time for deliv ery to the next buyer. Regardless of how good the quality of those eggs when originally received by this deal er, they would quickly deteriorate un der such conditions. The level of egg prices depends a good deal on consumer demand, and this fact makes it Important to main tain quality If the maximum returns to be gained by both the farmer who cares for the flock and the dealer and merchant who handle the eggs between producer and consumer. Sun Porch Will Benefit Growing Young Chicks A sun porch attached to the brood er house is a most valuable improve ment to have. For the little chicks to have a clean place, one absolutely free from disease germs and para sites. to roam during fair weather, is Invaluable, says a poultryman In Wal- laces’ Farmer. They may occupy the brooder house until the cockerels are sold as broilers, after which the pul lets can be transferred to summer shel ter on the range, away from contami nated ground. These sun porches must be thoroughly cleaned once every year. That Is, six or eight Inches of the dirt should be removed from the floor after the pullets are taken to the range, and fresh sand or gravel added, ready for the next year’s chicks. When such precautions are taken and fresh, clean range Is supplied each year, loss from disease and parasites will be re duced to a minimum. Sun parlors may be built the same size as the brooder house, surrounded by wire netting high enough so the birds will not fly out This adds ex- pense, but it contributes greatly to the health of the young birds, and the ex tra sunshine which they get while ex ercising In these parlors promotes rap id growth. 35C 224 Hermiston Mercantile Cooperative J 3 THE STATE ================ Can Grow and Dry Corn Cheaply. CORVALLIS — Willamette valley armerb, by using early maturing strains of field corn, can grow the corn, dry it and get it on the mar ket several weeks ahead of corn shipped in from the corn belt, says W. S. Averill, Benton county agent. Studies made by the Oregon Experi ment station staff show that corn can be artificially dried for approx imately half the cost of shipping from the corn belt, Averill points out. In a number of instances, prune, hop and walnut driers are be ing used to dry corn at a very nomi nal cost, and growers are putting their corn on the market in time to be used for finishing turkeys. "Hopper" Egg Deposits Heavy. KLAMATH FALLS—Because a re cent check-up showed heavy grass hopper egg deposits on the east side of the lake in the Upper Klamath marsh country, plans are being made to put additional turkeys in small bunches on the hatching grounds early in 1936, says County Agent C. A. Henderson. For this purpose the local brooding plant has been en larged and a foundation flock of hens and toms has been obtained, with the idea of hatching local eggs early enough to be able to put tur keys on the grasshopper ranges In May rather than in July, as has been necessary in the past. “Unemployed Books’’ Put to Work. CORVALLIS-—The problem of ‘unemployment" among library books is being partially solved here through a plan inaugurated by Miss Lucy M. Lewis, state college libra rian and director of libraries for the entire state system. Miss Lewis adapted the old traveling library WE ARE COMING UNCLE SAMMY —Composed by Mr. P. E. Hall, and sung before the Hermiston send Club, December 19th, 1935. Dear Uncle Sam, we're here tonight to sing to you a song. And it you’ll listen in awhile, we’ll not detain you long. You look so badly. Uncle Sam, we're sure you must be sick. We’ll have to call the doctor in and call him mighty quick. We're coming Uncle Sammy, we’re coming right along, Sprouted oats or barley will easily solve the green feed problem for the back-yard poultry keeper with a small- sized flock. The simplest and possibly one of the best ways to provide for them Is to level off a small piece of ground, place the grains to be sprouted directly on the soil and cov er them with a piece of burlap or gunny sack kept continually moist When the grain has sprouted one- quarter to one-half Inch it is ready to feed. The length of time required to sprout will of course depend upon the weather. If small particles of dirt adhere to the sprouts when fed. no harm, but rather benefit resulta By preparing small plots each day. a con stant supply can be maintained. The Plymouth Rock Plymouth Rock is the name applied to a type of poultry originated In the United States as a result of ero se breeding and selection for the purpose of attaining certain characteristics of formation, color or utility. This gen eral type has been subdivided Into sev eral varieties within the breed which are known as Barred Plymouth Rocks, or Barred Rocks; Buff Rocks. Part- ridge Roetz Silver Penciled Rocks, all of which have been recognised by the American Standard of Perfection.

To keep the stars and stripes unfurled and floating o'er this land. You use too many letters, Sam, too many N'S and D’s, And A.A.A. and C.C.C., and X. Y. Z. You’ve used the alphabet all up so we would love to see The slate wiped right off nice and clean, then use A. A. R. P.

All such organizations may now take out a "shelf of books" and keep them In the reading room for odd-times read ing by students. Students report much more reading of worth while but ‘‘unrequired’’ books when they are close at hand. Meanwhile, the library remains crowded with those using books required in their cours- es. ................................................ . ■»■■««MK:»« YES we have personal Christmas Cards this year!
