THURSDAY, THE HERMISTON HERALD. HERMISTON, OREGON. MAY 7, 1936. FARM CO-OPERATIVE DIVISION A MESSAGE TURKEY POOL MARKETING OF BREEDING STOCK MAY 20TH The Eastern Oregon Turkey Grow ers’ association will hold a market ing pool on May 20th for the dis posal of breeding stock. This came as a result of a meeting of a num ber of the larger breeders, held on April 30th. Wednesday. May 20th, seemed to be the most satisfactory date, and it was felt that growers who had their egg contracts filled would be able to sell any surplus eggs up to that date. It is rather important that all growers who did not attend the -meeting on April 30th, report eith er to John Jendrzejewski. president of the association, or to W. A. Saw yer, assistant county agent, if they expect to ship breeders in this pool. By so reporting more accurate arrangements may be made for the handling of the birds in the ware house, which will help in cutting down costs of packing. Growers killing birds for this pool are urged to observe the follow ing instructions rather carefully: Take away all feed about 48 hours before birds are killed. Pick as late in the evening as possible, so that flies will not have a chance to get at the dressed birds before dark; and deliver to the warehouse promptly at the scheduled time, which will be announced by card a few days be fore the pool. The withholding of feed for the longer period of time with this stock is going to help materially in having clean. attractive-looking birds, which should entirely offset the slight losses in weight which might come. Deliveries at the ware house will probably start at 3 or 4 o’clock in the morning, so that everything may be packed in the car before it is warm enough for flies to start work. The Association feels that the sav ing made by being able to pre-cool at the car instead of attempting to cool at the local cold storage plant, and the convenience to the grower in being able to dispose of all his birds at the warehouse, along with the prospective advantage of ship ping a carload of birds to the San Francisco or Los Angeles markets, make this pool of decided benefit to the members. Apparently the de mand for this class of stock on the Los Angeles and San Francisco mar kets is going to be stronger than on other Pacific Coast markets. Small shipments to these distant points are not practical at this time of year. AGRICULTURAL CONSERVATION WORK SHEETS AVAILABLE A supply of work sheet forms for the new Agricultural Conservation program is now available at the of fice of Assistant County Agent Saw yer at Hermiston. These work sheets may be filled out at any time now, and for the convenience of farmers regular office days will be main tained as far as possible by Mr. Sawyer. Monday, Wednesday and Friday will be set aside to help those interested in filling out these work sheets. The only thing that would prevent keeping these days open for this work will be meet ings that can not be scheduled on other days. The Assistant County Agent re- ports that he will be in the office on other days in the week, but that his hours will be irregular for all except the above mentioned days. WESTLAND GRANGE ENTER TAINS GUEST SPEAKERS County Agent Holt and Miss Fran ces Clinton, Home Demonstration Agent, were guest speakers at the regular meeting of Westland Grange May 4th. Mr. Holt broughtt out strongly the idea that agricultural reports should be given a prominent part in the Grange meetings, since the majority of Grangers are farm ers. During the business meeting a committee, consisting of E. Dunning, Mrs. Frank Seeliger and Al Ken nings gave a report on the work be ing done on the Hermiston, Com munity park. The Grange then voted to contribute $25 toward the park fund. Miss Clinton entertained the group with a short outline of her work in the county, group singing, and several amusing games and stunts. Refreshments were served at the close of the meeting. Calf Club Interest Increases. A meeting of the Blue Ribbon Calf club was held May 2nd. and was in the form of a tour. W. A. Sawyer, assistant county agent, and the members of the club visited the home of each member and discussed problems In the raising of calves. The club members also practiced judging at the home of Marijane Hammer. Westland Grange Dance. There will be a dance at the West land Grange hall Saturday. May 9th.

AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CO- OPERATION TO MEET JUNE 15 - 19. The twelfth annual session of the American Institute of Cooperation will be held June 15 to 19 at the University of Illinois, Urbana, it has been announced by Charles W. Hol man, secretary. The Institute, which has been long recognized as the authoritative educational institution in its field, is becoming more and more the clearing house for the exchange of up-to-date information on the solu tion of the shifting and changing problems confronting agricultural business organizations. During the 1936 meeting more than 50 recog nized authorities will tell how they translated cooperative ideals and principles into practical and suc cessful operations. Important this year among the many subjects to be studied at this ‘‘traveling university" of farmer business organizations, according to Holman, will be the effect upon co- operative organizations of the ad justments in farming practices re sulting from the new federal soil conservation program. ‘Tn addition to considering the changing status under which farm organizations find themselves oper ating," he said, "there will be the usual searching analysis of all phas es of cooperative association activi ties. Prinsipal sessions will be de voted to the branches of livestock, dairying, grain, fruits and vegetab les, cooperative purchasing and eggs and poultry. "Because of the policy which has been established of getting down to brass tacks, an increasing number of farm groups are finding it a profit able business investment to send their staff and field men to this one- week summer seminar,” declared Charles W. Holman, secretary. “Here they are able not only to check notes with workers in their own fields of activity, but they are privileged to study with other lead ing cooperative executives, federal and state public officials, leaders of general farm organizations, and em ployees of the farmers’ marketing organizations. Financed by voluntary contribu tions and governed by a board of trustees chosen by the leading co operative organizations of the coun try. the Institutet attendance has grown in eleven years from a few hundred to as many as 2,000 per sons. Potency for Rats Does Not Apply to Chickens. Any source of vitamin D that is to be included In mixed feeds Intended for poultry should be purchased on the basis of its guaranteed potency for chickens instead of rats. The potency of commercial sources of vitamin D is customarily measured by testa made with rats which do not react to the different sources of this vitamin as do Chickens. The poultryman may obtain vitamin D from cod-liver oil, sardine oil, other fish-liver and fish oils, and irradiated products. In the case of cod-liver oil, new standards have been adopted, and if It Is to be sold as such ft must now contain at least 85 International vita min D units and at least 600 interna tional vitamin A units per grain. Any cod-liver oil that does not meet these re quirements must be labeled “cod-llver oil, not U. S. P.” The designation "Poultry U. S. P.,” has been used re cently, but it is misleading and its use is not official. Until some satisfactory chicken unit of vitamin D potency has been estab lished, cod-llver oil may be purchased on the basis of the number of interna tional vitamin D units it contains per gram. All other sources of vitamin D should be purchased on the basis of the minimum quantity, expressed as per cent of the feed, required to pro tect young growing chicks against rickets. “Although the official method of stating vitamin D potency Is to give the number of International units per gram, some carriers of cod-llver oil are still marked with the number of units per ounce, and often the unit meant Is not the International unit. The purchaser should remember that all units of vitamin D potency are not equal and that an ounce Is more than 28 times as heavy as a gram.” Sour Skim Milk Good Beverage for Chicks Sour skim milk Is an excellent bev erage for baby chicks, according to Dr. W. C. Thompson, professor of poultry husbandry at the New Jersey College of Agriculture, Rutgers university. It increases their appetites and Is a read ily digestible and highly nutritious food in Itself, he says. The rate of growth Is stimulated by feeding sour skim milk to chicks dur ing the first six weeks, and the bev erage also acts as a regulator of the birds’ digestive systems, Doctor Thomp son points out Commercial poultry- men are using this food In increasing quantity lately because It helps to pro duce good broilers quickly and aids in getting young pullets properly started. Fresh milk may easily be made sour by using a small amount of sour milk as a starter and adding fresh milk to it each morning. If this Is set In a warm room, the souring process will take place rapidly. Feed the sour milk In a thickened condition, but first break the clabber by stirring so that the whey as well as the solids will be consumed. Baby chicks may be started on sour milk during their first day In the brooder and need be fed no water during the entire six weeks, provided there is KNOWLEDGE COMES plenty of the milk on band.

PAGE FIVE Walter M. Pierce REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS, has addressed a letter to those of his constituents who will vote in the Democratic primary. At this time, with the primary election close, It is natural that his appeal should be to those who will cast their ballots in this primary. But, as his nomination now seems assured by an immense vote, and as the letter refers speci fically to his record and to the policies he advocates, and as he always has received loyal support from a great many who register in other parties, the letter at this time is worthy the perusal of every voter in the district. He says: “I greatly appreciate the position of Congressman. I have tried to show my appreciation by hard work and devotion to the duties of the office. It has been a wonderful experience and I trust I can be re-nominated in May by a big majority which will materially aid me in November. “I have been an Administration man. My opponent has been its bitter critic. My nomination in May will be an expression of confidence in the Administra tion. Roosevelt will need, in the next Congress, the support of a strong Dem ocrat from the second Oregon District, and the District will need a Democrat here. I am sure I am by far the stronger candidate for November. My nomi nation will insure one Democrat in Congress from Oregon. “I can be more useful here than a newcomer. It was unusually fortunate for the District that I secured a very strong committee position on the important Committee on Agriculture and Forestry. My election will be the only chance Oregon will have to be heard in this Committee when permanent farm legis lation is framed. “I AM TODAY THE ONLY MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE FROM THE TWELVE WESTERN STATES. “Please read my statement in the Voters’ Pamphlet and get your neighbor to read it, as I have there set forth my position on the important public matters. I am especially prepared to be helpful in the matter of Bonneville power for the benefit of the people, and in legislation on money and on farm finances. “Congress probably will not adjourn until June. I cannot leave here to cam paign I must rely upon my fellow Democrats. After the National Conven tion in Philadelphia on June 23, I will return home and make an energetic campaign for re-election as Congressman. I have never been physically bet ter. I am active, vigorous, and fully able to meet the requirements of this im portant office. “You must have read in the papers that Dr. Townsend and his Board have an nounced that they urgently desire the return to Congress of those, like my self who have supported the revised McGroarty bill, and they have appealed to their clubs to strengthen the cause by electing such supporters. “I need to keep in touch with the political situation in my district. It will help me if you will write me a letter telling me how it appears in your locality. I certainly appreciate your political support in the years past. I hope you will get the loyal Democrats to the polls on May 15.” (This ad paid for by Pierce for Congress Club) I WANT ADS YELLOW DENT SEED CORN FOR sale. Also grey mare, wt. 1600.
