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

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

SPEAKING FOR MODERN OIL HEAT...
"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
