THURSDAY, MAY 30, 1940. PAG» FIVE THE HERMISTON HERALD. HERMISTON. OREGON. FOR SALE — WHITE LEGHORN fryers. J. H. Ryland, Columbia district. 41-lp FARM CO-OPERATIVE DIVISION M ESSAGE TO E V E R Y M EM BER. CANNING SCHEDULE ♦R.E.A. HIGHLIGHTS* ♦ . < ------ ♦ BY R. L. WOOLLEY On Monday evening about 5:30 o’clock many calls began coming in from our Echo, Nolin and Wheat- land areas stating that serivce had been interrupted. These calls show a progress in the cooperation of mem bers and that is an encouraging fac tor. All of this inconvenience was caused by negligence on the part of one member. The inconvenience was not the most important thing to be considered, however. The important thing is that when this person moved his derrick so close to the high po tential line that he took his life in his hands and is very lucky indeed that he is now alive to read about or listen to the discussion of his act. Now, this is the point to consider: Be careful in and about these high potential lines. Electricity, when properly controlled, is a boon to the human race, but when it is out of control it is a relentless and destruc tive force which will destroy man and beast and burn property. Re spect these high potential wires and they will serve you. Treat them otherwise and they will kill you. Re member this also—you seldom, if ever, get a second trial in mistreat ing high potential wires. This discourse is not intended to frighten you at all but rather to in form you so that you will take the proper care, for your own protection and the protection of others. Der ricks above power lines are very dangerous. Our construction work in the city of Boardman is rapidly nearing com pletion. We will then be able to turn our attention to other work on the system. Our water heater load is increas ing very rapidly these days, almost every day it seems, new ones are being added. We are electric minded and are taking advantage of our op portunities. These things are making us a much stronger organization and we will be more and more able to do the things which we should to carry on to success. Be sure that you do all that you can to help yourself in this organi zation. The annual meeting is sched uled for August 10. Watch for fur ther details. From June 3 to 8 8 to 11 a. m. 12 to 3.30 p. m.

Hermiston Co-op Cannery “Thus far, the war has stimulated industrial activities in this country, giving domestic consumers increased purchasing power,” says the report, “but exports of farm products from this country have decreased.” The volume of exports of nearly all United States agricultural pro ducts, except cotton, has declined since the war in Europe started, and much uncertainty exists regarding the duration and course of the war and possible effects on domestic de mand. Great Britian and France have pooled their buying operations under complete government unified control and are buying on the basis of ec onomic warfare and diplomatic stra tegy as well as to supply needs. The dominion countries and South America are supplying far greater quantities of farm products than during the World war, as production has increased greatly during the past 25 years and the capacity of available shipping facilities is much greater. If the war continues for two or three years, there may be some shortage of farm products and a large demand for industrial mater ials for war. On the other hand, early cessation of hostilities, or fair ly ydefinit^ indications of an end of the war within a year or less, would affect the industrial and business situation in this country adversely. WORST DISEASE OF CALVES NOW CURED SY SPECIAL M ILK YIELD IS TEST RURAL WOMEN TELL FOR DAIRY COW HOW THEY PREFER High Production Outweighs HOUSES ARRANGED Increased Feed Cost. If Oregon rural homemakers had their way about the arrangements of their houses, about half of them would have one-story and half two- story houses, four out of five would have basements, and 90 per cent of them would have stovewood stored under the house roof These are but a few facts obtained in a study made by Maud Wilson, home economist of the O.S.C. ex periment station, the results of which have just been published as station bulletin No. 369, entitled “House Planning Ideas of Oregon Rural Women.” Laura Wells is co author. In order to find out the idea of Oregon homemakers based on actual experience, a survey was made, by means of questionnaires, of 450 homemakers throughout the state. About 60 per cent of these actually lived on farms, while the remainder lived in villages, suburban areas, or on small acreages. For the most part homemakers submitting answers to the questionnaire were members of extension units in the various coun ties, and 99 out of 450 were gradu ates of the school of home economics at Oregon state college. Some of their conclusions varied considerably from those of the pro fessional builders. Although most of the homemakers queried prefer sep arate dining rooms, they also want the kitchen to be large enough for use in serving family meals comfor tably. Furthermore, the women ques tioned are not in favor of a combin ation dining and living room. Only one woman in eight favored such combination. Outdoor ,dining areas,, on the other hand, are popular, both for family meals and for feeding crews of farm help. As to sleeping arrangements, 99 per cent of the homemakers said they wanted their own bedrooms on the first floor. A second bedroom on that floor is desired by many of those whose children are young. The bulletin, which may be had free from extension offices, also dis cusses preferences with respect to washrooms, laundries, room dimen sions, fireplaces, floor coverings, and many other features of the rural home.

TAYLOR Even though they may consume more feed each year, high produc ing cows enrolled in dairy herd im provement associations yield great er returns over feed costs than low producers, according to records at the New Jersey college of agricul ture. The average D. H. I. A. cow in the U. S. produces 7,831 pounds of milk and 317 pounds of butterfat a year as compared to an average production of only 4,359 pounds of milk and 170 pounds of butterfat for all cows milking in the United States. Association cows not only produce more milk and butterfat on the average than all cows milked in the country, but they also produce it more economically. The associa tion cows which produced at the same average rate as all cows con sumed approximately $53 worth of feed per cow and returned $38 above cost of feed to the owner. How ever, the average association cow producing 317 pounds of fat con sumed $71 worth of feed and made a return of $98 above cost of feed. In other words, the cows that aver aged 170 pounds of fat consumed $1.22 worth of feed for every 100 pounds of milk they produced, while cows that averaged 317 pounds fat consumed only 91 cents worth of feed for every 100 pounds of milk pro duced. The same relationship exists be tween low and high producing herds. Dairymen with herds having an average production of 395 pounds fat per cow received $120 above feed costs while dairymen with herds having an average of 206 pounds of fat received only $53 above feed costs per cow. Stated in another way, a dairyman would need to keep only half as many cows if they aver aged 395 pounds, to obtain the same return as he received with 206-pound cows—just half as many cows to milk and feed to realize approxi mately the same return over feed cost. Fence Posts Require Chemical Preservatives With the annual replacement of posts required each year, it is easy to understand why many farmers inquire about giving chemical treat ment to their fence posts to make them last longer. There are two principal types of treatment which have been developed; namely, the tar or creosote method, applied by dipping or submerging well seasoned posts into hot creosote; and the rela tively new method of applying a zinc poison to freshly cut posts, using the natural process of sap move ment to absorb the poison into the wood. The zinc poison is proving very practical for farmers with wood lands containing willow, poplar, ash, basswood, and soft maple trees of ccrdwood size; yet this tire-tube method of treatment, as it is called, will work well on trees of almost any species. The preservative used in the tire- tube method is known as zinc chlo ride. It is extremely poisonous to insects as well as to rotting fungi, but it has one weakness—it slowly dissolves and is carried out of the post by rain and ground water; yet if it is properly applied, it will add manv years to the life of even such fast rotting woods as cottonwood and aspen or poplar. The posts to be treated must be strictly fresh and green, and the bark must be left on. Dried or split posts will not take the chemical by this method. Posts from four to six inches in diameter at the small end are most easily treated. American railroads report that most grade crossing accidents oc curred in 1937 between five and six p. m. on Saturday, which is a good thing for farmers to bear in mind. • • • Oklahoma’s Farm Chermurgic council has found that immature broom corn seed heads, heretofore a waste product, contains oil that is worth $7 a ton. • • 0 The new regional laboratories set up by the U. S. department of agri culture will have as their main pur pose the search for wider uses for farm crops, particularly the surplus crops. • • • Hired men on the farms of the United States declined by 25 per cent since 1914. The average wage advanced in the same period from $22 to $27. It is a question if the efficiency of the men has been stepped up enough to balance the loss in numbers. • • • A farmer in Minnesota had a sow that produced a litter of blind pigs. He recently sold this litter at South St Paul and topped the market. The pigs showed a remarkable abil ity in finding their feed. 1937 Chevrolet Sedan 1938 Ford Sedan 1937 Chevrolet Pickup 1936 Ford Coupe 1937 Ford Tudor 1938 Ford Tudor 1934 Chevrolet Coupe 1932 Model B Ford Truck Many others not listed.
