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.

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

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

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.”
