Every Gallon Released for Sale in This State Is Subject to Rigid Tests CALLED BY DEATH Stayton, Ore.r June 7. Spl) Funeral services were held here today for George B.

(U.R) Time was when a cattle thief swinging from the end of a rope beneath some lonesome cotton wood tree was used extensively to discourage cattle rustling on the southwest plains. But times change and today notices posted on those same trees, as well as in more conspicuous places, are quite as efficient. Those notices read "Reward, $250." Three years ago, West Texas cattlemen were losing heavily to streamlined cattle thieves. Twen tieth century rustling, with high speed trucks, gave them lots of trouble. A band of rustlers could snot cattle in an isolated portion of the range, load as many as 20 head into a truck, run them across the' state line and sell them before the rancher knew they were missing. Corvallis. (Spl.) A state oenologlcal laboratory has solv ed Oregon'a problem of wine quality. Located it the agricultural experiment station here, the laboratory has tested samples representing more than a half million gallons of wine shipped into Oregon and some 200.000 gallons of Oregon produced wines since September 1, 1939. Every gallon of wine now re leased for sale in the state is subject to rigid lauoratory tests under the act of th Oregon legislature of June 14. 1939. and regulations of the Oregon liquor control commission made effective October 30, 1939. Three objectives have been suc- cussefully achieved, according to Ralph W. Staley, wine sup ervisor for the commission: (1) Unsound and substand ard wines have been eliminated from the state; (2) Oregon farm ers producing fruits and berries for commercial wine - making have been furnished with guid ance in the sanitary handling of their products, with resulting substantial improvement In the quality of Oregon produced wines; (3) the quality of wines sold in Oregon has been im proved to a point not only equal to but substantially higher than the standards of type, age, soundness and general quality fixed by the legislature and the commission. Unique. The laboratory, which has been Instrumental In solving Oregon's wine quality problem, is unique among state and gov ernment wine-testing stations in the United States. Assisted by the food Industries department of the agricultural experiment station, it combines oenological research for the benefit of Ore gon farmers and farmer win eries with protection for con sumers health through Improve ment in quality. At the same time it guides the Oregon state liquor control commission in standardization and control of any wines that, fall below the standards established by the state. It it regarded as one ' of the most efficient labora tories in the entire west for making wine tests. In recent month Oregon farmers have availed themselves of the laboratory'i services. Dale R. Mills, assistant tech nologist in charge, has assisted in all phases of fruit and wine production, from the picking of fruits and berries at the pioper stage of maturity to mainten ance of modern methods in winery sanitation and the final flow of the beverage into bot tles. Among other services, special wine yeast cultures have been imported from Spain. propagated in the laboratory. and provided to Oregon grow ers with instructions for care and use. Samp! Tested. Every firm shipping wines Into Oregon is required, under its state permit, to provide the iquor control commission with certified chemical analysis of purity for every individual type of wine before shipment. Sam ples are taken by representa- ives of the commission. At its offices at Portland all labels are removed and the samples identified only by number so that the laboratory cannot iden tify the bottler or source of production. The samples are then sent to the laboratory at Corvallis. After satisfying itself through the laboratory's examination of analyses ana eampic uwi tne i wines were up to standard, the wine department of the com mission since July 1 has issued over 900 permits for importa tion. Many thousands of gal lons have been rejected, de stroyed, corrected or returned to wineries as results of the tests.

ONE CENT A MILE DAYLIGHT TIME Tort Wayne, Ind. (U.FB The federal government has been threatened with a suit of near major proportions if it doesn't do something about daylight saving time. The threat came from J. Leon Lazarowitz. doctor of Hobo ology. doctor of migration, presi dent of the Ra-nbUng Hobo Fel lowship of America, and chief Justice of the United States Kan garoo court. The sum he men tioned off-hand was sau.uuu. Lazarowitz contended that the local daylight saving time stat utes were in violation of the federal law which fixe stan dard time zones. Driller Find Fish.

Pittsburgh (U.R) Pennsylva nia's $65,000,000 "dream" high way really will be something motorists dream about but sel dom see, according to W. C. Cline, a tunnel engineer who is helping build the 160-mile road, which will run between Pitta burgh and Harrlsburg. But it will cost money for motorists to use It one cent a mile, to be exact. Trucks will pay 4 cents a mile for use of the all-weather highway. However, this is no ordinary highway. For example, there will be no steep hills, sharp curves or a speed limit. It will be 78 feet wide enough for four 12-foot traffic lanes, each separated by. a 10-foot wide strip of earth. Salt Lake City, Utah 01 rTi Workmen who have toiled for three year on the $1,230,000 Elton drainage and transporta tion tunnel which bores 4-i mile through the Oquirrh mountains estimate they will complete the ambitious mining and irrigation project In 17 months. Thirteen thousand feet of the tunnel, which will link the Tooele and Bingham mining district of Utah, have been completed. Only 11,000 feet re main to be bored before the deadline, et for August, 1941. The tunneling is progressing at the rate of 23 feet a day. Th tunnel will drain the City Sleep Santa Cruz, Cal.

(U.R) Sweet potatoes soon may become an important livestock feed in the south. Feeding tests which have been conducted at experiment sta tions in Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee show that sweet pota toes have a high feeding value if properly balanced with cotton seed meal or other protein rich feeds. The experiments Indicate that dehydrated sweet potatoes equal corn pound for pound for fatten ing steers. Tests at the Alabama experi ment station at Auburn revealed an acre of sweet potatoes will produce two to three times as much feed as an acre of corn.
