Re-organization of the Umatilla
Dairy Herd Improvement association
will soon be underway, according to
Al Kennings, tester, who is urging
every member to enlist at least one
new member to strengthen each dai
ry herd and the association for
1937 enrollment.
Five cows in the association were
sold for beef; 27 cows were sold for
dairy purposes; and the Hermiston
Dairy herd was sold for dairy pur
poses.
The November association report
shows that 23 cows were on test,
with 314 cows enrolled, of which 50
were dry. The total milk produc
tion was 143,636 lbs., and the but
terfat was 7074.9 lbs., with 34 cows
producing 40 lbs. of butterfat.

PLANT GREEN FEED
FOR HEN’S RATION
Advance Planning Leads to
More Profit.
By L. M. Black, Extension Poultryman, New
Jersey State College of Agri-
culture.—WNU Service.
In recent years the craving of
poultry for tender green morsels
has not been satisfied mainly be
cause poultrymen found it easier
to purchase a sack of dried alfalfa
meal and incorporate it in their
feed mixtures. By so doing, the
labor of feeding the flock was re
duced and hours of toil in the broil
ing sun have been averted. But,
have the birds been satisfied with
the change in practice?
Anyone who has offered green
plant food to chickens knows that
the offering was eagerly accepted
and that it served to awaken new
evidences of energy in the flock.
Besides promoting activity, green
and succulent feed offers natural
plant juices that tend to whet ap
petites, bulk that aids digestion,
minerals and vitamins that may be
essential in the proper nutrition
of birds. Surely, these are suffi
cient reasons for taking pains to
provide an adequate supply for
both layers and growing birds
throughout their lives.
Furthermore, poultrymen
are
agreed that modern commercial
practice tends to increase the per
centage mortality in adult flocks.
Without question, a daily feeding
of some green or succulent feed
would tend to keep the mortality
problem under control.
A little planning and some work
may be necessary to supply this
portion of a poultry flock’s ration,
but one season’s endeavor to do
so will convince even the most
easy-going poultryman that his ef-
forts were well expended and re
sponsible for reducing losses and
increasing profits.
Clean Poultry House Now,
Avoiding Disease, Vermin
Poultry houses require cleaning
out thoroughly except in cases
where constant cleanliness is main
tained. Dirt causes disease and,
apparently, creates vermin. The
actual process of cleaning is best
done on a bright sunshiny day.
In addition to removing all the
litter and droppings and burning
them or storing them in a screened
manure shed, the walls and ceil
ings should be brushed down and
the floor given a thorough sweep
ing and washing out. Nests should
be removed from the house and old
nesting material disposed of with
the litter. If a hose is available,
the entire interior of the house
should be flushed out, making sure
that the water gets into all cracks
and crevices where dirt or v . i in
might be hiding. After this is done,
disinfecting should follow.
It will also pay to wash the win
dows. By doing this work as early
in the day as possible, it will give
the house a chance to dry out be
fore placing fresh nesting material
in the nests and fresh litter on the
floor and letting the birds back in
the house again.
