Poultry Experts Hold Tour Of Hart, Schneider Farms A group of 15 poultry ex perts made a tour recently of the Les Schneider and Al Hart turkey farms. The group of five Jackson county and 10 Willamette val ley men were particularly in terested In Schneider's breed er management program since poultry experts say he has had unusually good results. This year his fertility started out at 91 per cent and is still above 75 per cent after 80 eggs per hen. Seventy-five per cent is a good healthy average, turkey growers point out. Noel Bennion, OSC poultry expert said, "Les had had similar results for many years due to a well-planned manage ment and breeder program. He has never used anything but natural matings." Schneider said he normal ly keeps about 4,000 breeder hens, with one torn lor every if hens. After the breeders are selected in the fall they are placed in six different fields with about 700 breeder hens in each lot. He provides about one acre of good sod pasture for each 100 breeder hens. Good Pasture Program The present Schneider tur key farm contains 100 acres of well-drained sod pasture. He has purchased a 50-acre adjoining farm for insurance in case of a disease outbreak A water-right on both farms Poultrymen Warned On Virus Vaccine Salcm-Wili' live virus in fectious bronchitis vaccine now a "free agent" in Ore eon, poultrymen have an add ed responsibility to be care ful about the vaccine they use to combat this disease. Poultrymen are cautioned by Dr. L. E. Bodenweiser, state veterinarian, not to use a combination vaccine, as this could defeat the purpose of treatment. Use of a combina tion product would also defeat the object of permitting pout. trymen to buy and use the live virus product without benefit of state restrictions. Dr, Bodenweiser points out that the state wrappings on the live virus vaccine were removed following a confer ence with the poultry disease advisory committee. With the so-called combi nation vaccines, poultrymen treat their flock for two or more diseases simultaneously, for example infectious bron chitis and Newcastle disease. Thus a combination product, used where infectious bron chitis is the only trouble, could result in giving the flock a case of Newcastle dis ease. "Poultrymen can guard against this by knowing the vaccines they purchase and using a given vaccine only for the purpose for which it is intended," warns Dr. Bodenweiser. ensuring flood irrigation is a big asset in keeping sod pas tures green and growing dur ing the dry season. About 8,000 poults and 8,- 000 sexed hens and 2.000 sexed toms are brooded each year. Schneider always starts his poults about the first of June. Prospective breeders are examined two or three times before final selection when the birds are five to six months old. The toms are placed under lights every year on Nov. 13, just 30 days before the hens come under lights. Then, five days before the hens are placed under lights the toms are put in with the hens. Five days after the two groups have been together both are put under lights. This five day period distributes the matings to good advantage, Schneider claims. This is an important factor in getting high fertility when the hens first come into production, he added. He does not change or rotate the terns. One hundred watt light globes each about 10 feet above the birds for each 200 square feet come on at 2 a.m. Seed Stands Enter Critical Stage EUGENE WINTERS County Agent Alfalfa seed stands are now entering the more critical pe riod from lygus bug damage. The greater damage of ly gus bugs to a crop of seed alfalfa generally ocurs in the buds. Lygus bug nymphs can be especially destructive re sulting in reduced flowering. The bugs can also feed upon the flowers and cause them to drop. Apply two pounds of actual DDT or three pounds of ac tual toxaphene per acre when adult lygus or nymphs aver age one per sweep of an in sect nest. To protect pollinating bees. apply in the early morning or late evening. Care should be taken also to prevent drift of these materials onto pas ture, hay or ensilage crop. Do not fed treated plants, or ensilage made from treated plants to poultry, dairy ani mals or animals being pre pared for slaughter. Animals should not be permited to graze on treated fields. Toxa phene and DDT should not be used on forage to be sold com mercially or shipped interstate. The same procedure is follow ed when the hens are placed under lights with the toms. The lights continue on the same schedule throughout the entire season. Uiei Uniform Lighting A sufficient and uniform lighting program for all hens and toms is provided by en closing the roosting area with a woven wire fence with steel posts. The hens and toms are fenced out of the roosting area during the day and fenced in at night. Schneider favors a roll- away nest with plastic bot toms without litter. These are 18 inches wide and 24 inches deep. A semi-trap door opens in front to permit just one hen to use the nest at a time Nests are located along the fence rows so eggs can be gathered from the service roads. Eggs are gathered in baskets and transported to the egg house on a tractor-pulled trailer. Schneider said he has no trouble getting his breeder hens to use these nests. Eggs are gathered at least four times a day and more often in hot weather to pre serve the quality and to pre vent broodincss among the hens. Feeders and watering equipment are well spread to obtain a more uniform distri bution of droppings and keep the breeders spread out over the entire sod range. Schneider said he has been using this system for many years. However, many grow ers in the Willamette valley switched to semi-confinement with permanent shelters and sawdust covered pens as their flocks increased. "I believe the latter system has contributed to our de crease in fertility and hatch ability due mainly to con lamination and over-crowded conditions," Schneider said. "This system keeps too many breeders in too small an area over loo long a period." The Schneider breeding program has developed a deeper body and longer keel lo give his birds better bal ance. He feels this is impor tant in helping to achieve and hold higher fertility. Al Hart of Hart's hatchery on the South Pacific highway, south of Mcdford has a simi lar breeding and management program on his farm. The Hart - Schneider breeding strain and program are well advertised. For several years Hart has been mixing his own feed in his home unit feed mixing setup by purchasing a pro tein concentrate and mixing it with home grown or car lot loads of grain.

Wool Pool Plots Possible Outlet At Klamath Falls Directors of the Jackson county wool pool are investi gating the practicability of de livering to Klamath Falls, County Agent Earle Jossy said today. All wool should be ready and delivered to the Jackson county fair grounds on June 21, Jossy said. Fleeces must be tied with paper twine and sacks sewn with cotton (not sisal) twine. Sacks should be well packed. Full sacks should weigh about 300 pounds. Small lots will be weighed and sacked on June 21. "The board believes this is a very good price for this pool. Future success of the pool depends on the care tak en by members this year in delivering an honest sack of quality wool to the buyer the county agent explained. These fleeces should be sacked separately and sold separately: black fleeces fleeces with black fiber fleeces from sick ewes, or other damaged fleeces. Sheep should be dry when shorn and shorn in a clean place. Avoid second cuts and remove dung locks. These will stain the wool, Jossy added. Jackson county wool pool directors sold the pool to J. J. Osenbrugge, 916 Whit man ave., Medford, for 51 vs cents per pound for 12-month fleeces delivered in Meatora, or 53 cents delivered to Kla math Falls. Consignors Given Wool consignors in the pool and number of fleeces con signed lo the pool included: Don Bohnert, 280 fleeces, G. B. Bowman, 76, Howard Bowman, 158, David Buch anan, 11, W. C.

Mongold's LaPine Jersey farm, route 1, Eagle Point, has won a number of recent awards, according lo an announcement by the American Jersey Cattle club. Gold and silver medals have been awarded to the senior herd sire owned by Mongold. The awards were given to the sire, Sparkling High Volt age who has three daughters successfully qualifying him by their outstanding produc tion. These daughters are La Pine Standard Shelley, pro ducing 13,268 pounds of milk containing 753 pounds of fat; LaPine Standard Gizclle, pro ducing 12.541 pounds of milk and 699 pounds of fat, and La Pine Standard Sabina. who produced 12,374 pounds of milk and 666 pounds of fat. All tests were checked by the Oregon- Slate college and the American Jersey Cattle club. A tenth gold star herd award has been made to the herd of registered jerseys owned by Mongold. The herd won the award after completing another year on official herd improvement registry testing. The gold star recognition is for unusually high production over a four year period. Over the past four years this herd has had an average of 22 cows producing 9,074 pounds of milk containing 525 pounds of butterfat apiece. All tests were checked by Ore gon State college and the American Jersey Cattle club. Another award, a ton of I gold certificate was awarded recently lo the Jersey cow owned by t h e Eagle Point dairy farmer. The award went to LaPine j sparkling bheba which pro-1 duccd 2,174 pounds of butter bat - more than a ton - from 37,640 pounds of milk in four years.

"Pipe-and-Slippers Comfort With Modern Oil Heat' Sales Data Needed For Wool Payment With the beginning of the new wool marketing year, and shearing time well under way or completed, growers are reminded lo get complete sales records if they intend filing for wool incentive pay ments under the national wool program. Marketings since March 31 will be eligi ble for payments under the 1960 program. Albert Straus, chairman of the Jackson County Agricul tural Stabilization and Con servation committee said that such sales records should be kept by the producer until an application is filed at the county office. Payments un der the 1960 program will' not be made until midsummer of 1961. Payments under the 1959 wool program will be made this summer. Growers are also reminded that the grower who receives the highest price for his wool also receives the largest pay ment under the wool incen tive program. The payment rate is the percentage neces sary to bring the national average price received by growers during the marketing year up to the incentive level of 62 cents a pound.

Locker Plants Pass Inspection Salem Oregon refrigerat ed locker plants as a whole came through a recent round of state Inspection with a good record. This is the report of Roy Millett of the state department of agriculture's meal inspec tion program and who super vises inspection of the 427 locker plants now under state license. Some flaVvs on the overall inspection record included poor sanitation; faulty equip ment including inoperative or defective safety devises, buz zers and lights; improper en trances, some of which have already been corrected; and improper temperatures. Millett says operators are cooperative in making im provements in Ihe compara tively few cases where need ed. Much of the field checking is done by seven meat in spectors trained to handle this detail as ther schedules permit. Locker plant numbers de clined by six in the past year, two ceasing business and four as fire casualties. i ' : . v ,", LAWN SPRINKLING SYSTEMS It's Miy to put in your own sprinkling system using ' inch flexible polyethylene pljstic pipe ($6.50 per hun dred feet) with unbreak able bronze saddle tees (90c each), Riser nipples (lie each) and Thompson under ground sprinkling , heads (96c each). 5 Good Reasons Why You, Too, Should Shop al Hubbard Bros.!
