Complaints of consumers about the
low quality of eggs sometimes offered
for sale during summer months can
often be traced to careless manage
ment on the part of people handling
the eggs after they leave the farm.
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.

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

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.
Poultry keepers, who have small
And stir it all together in a pint of Townsend Plan,
And take the whole dose, Sammy, just as quickly as you can.
We’re coming. Uncle Sammy, and we feel we’re almost here.
The wheels of progress humming while the workers loudly cheer.
For they are working all the time, John, Jerry, Bill and Bob.
The Townsend Plan has brot the cash to give them all a job.
We’re tired, Sam, of that New Deal, it's just a rattle trap.
To take from us our hard earned cash to give the other chap.
And if you won’t consent, dear Sam, this rattle trap to fix,
We’ll kindly wipe It off the slate in nineteen thirty-six.
We're coming, Uncle Sammy, we’re coming right along,
We're Coming with the remedy ten hundred thousand strong.
We’re now, dear Uncle Sam, a strong united band.
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.
We’re coming, Uncle Sammy, and It won't be very long,
'Till all the shops will be open and working good and strong.
Just making things the people need and have the cash to buy.
If you would open up your heart to heed the Townsend cry.
We’re growing tired now. Uncle Sam, with three score years of toil,
A working hard from morn till night a tilling of the soli.
To feel you pat us on the back, and bid us shout and sing.
While you turn around and sell us out to money lords and kings.
We’re coming. Uncle Sammy, we are coming right along.
And if you take the remedy, you’ll soon be going strong.
But if you still refuse to take the antidote.
We’ll have to hold your nose, dear Sam, and pour it down your throat
plan to the uses of all college halls,
fraternities and sororitiee. 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.
