Big Supply Seen Of Holiday Bird MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1063 CORVALLIS - The holidays are coming and turkey the tra ditional main feature of holiday dinners is in generous supply this year, reports Stephen C. Marks, Oregon State University extension agricultural econo mist. A larger poult hatch early In the year and earlier-than-usual slaughter pushed Oct. 1 cold storage holdings five per cent above thejame level a year ago, he noted. However, the larger inventory poses no great problem to the trade in view of the coming holiday season, he adds. Turkey prices have been hold ing fairly stable, with quota tions to growers about the same as last year at this time. The 1963 turkey crop is estimated at about the same size as 1962. For the year ahead, U.S. tur key growers are planning ad justments in size and composi tion of breeder flocks to be kept for the 1964 hatching season, Marks noted. Breeders in the 15 leading turkey producing states plan to keep about the same number of heavy-breed hens for the coming hatching season as in 1962, but intend to hold 10 per cent more of the light breed hens. To Keep More In Oregon, turkey breeders expect to keep slightly more heavy white breeds for egg pro duction, but not so many bronze and heavy types as last year, he said, and 10 per cent more of Beltsville and other light breeds. On the broiler scene, broiler marketings continue heavier than a year ago, due to the larger placements during sum mer months. However, they are not as large as earlier this fall and prices have somewhat im proved, although they are still slightly below levels of a year ago, the economist said. Hatchery production of egg type chicks continues larger than last year, which means there will be more pullets avail able for flock replacement right after the first of the year, Marks pointed out. The number of pullets on farms and still to come into production as of Oct. 1 was up one per cent from last year, with increases reported in all regions of the nation.

(French s) Efforts to Boost Beef Grade Contained in New Proposal A 7 CORVALLIS Although dual i grading after a one-year trial grading of beef carcasses has by the meat packing industry. been ruled out by the Secretary of Agriculture, efforts to im prove official U.S. Department of Agriculture standards for beef are continuing, reports Ste phen C. Marks, Oregon State University extension agricultur al economist. Secretary Orville Freeman announced his decision on dual Children's Book Week Opens Today "Three Cheers for Books," is the theme of Children's Book Week for 1963, which opened today with the Public Library of Medford and Jackson County and the 10 branch libraries par ticipating in the observance. There are displays of new books, both fiction and non-fiction, for every age group, from pre - schoolers through high school, being featured at each library. Programs for visiting scnool classes have been sched' uled throughout the week. Parents and children arc in vited to visit the Junior depart ment of the Medford central library any day between the hours of 10 a.m. and 5:30 p.m and until 9 o'clock tonight. The Tuesday story hour was cancelled for today because of other visitations. It will be re sumed next week. Fireman Instructors Group Set Meeting The Jackson-Josephine Coun ties Fireman Instructors Asso ciation will resume activities Wednesday, Nov. 13, following the summer recess. The group will meet at the main station of the Medford Fire Department at 7:30 p.m. The association formulates, maintains and supports stand ards of fireman education. Mem bership is open to any person interested in fireman education and training. At the same time, he revealed a new proposal which would re tain the established grading system in its entirety while adding a separate cutability designation as part of the offi cial USDA grade. Under the proposal, there would be no change in the pres ent criteria used lor evaluation of carcass quality and confor mation. Quality would be eval uated on the basis of marbling, color, texture, firmness and maturity of the lean. Conforma tion would still be evaluated on the basis of relative develop ment of various parts and thick ness of the carcass. Quality and conformation would be combined into single Quality grades such as USDA Prime, Choice, Good, etc., just as they are under present grade standards, Marks explained. Only Change The only change would be the addition of a cultability designa tion to the official USDA grade. This would be based on four carcass characteristics: 1 thickness of the fat covering over the rib eye; 2. size of the rib eye; 3. amount of internal carcass fat; 4. carcass weight. The proposed cutability desig nation would range from 1 to 5, with the number 1 identifying carcasses of the highest retail cut-out yield and value, Marks said. The cutability number would appear on each carcass. It would provide an estimate of the yield of salable meat from a given beef carcass. In announcing his decision on "dual grading," Secretary Free man noted that a majority of comments supported the idea of identifying difference in yield of salable meat from beef car casses, but many livestock pro ducers strongly opposed omis sion of carcass conformation as a factor in determining quality grades. Some packers also pointed out the desirability of including a consideration of conformation within the quality grade in or der to make carcasses more uniformly acceptable to retail ers. Copies of the proposed grad ing modification may be obtain ed from the Livestock Division, Agricultural Marketing Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. 20250. Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on the proposal by April 1, 1964. They should be addressed to the Director, Livestock Divi sion, Agricultural Marketing service, Marks advised. 73 YEARS OF SAFETY and sound money management 1 In MEDF0RD-513 Mxlfvd Uoppl Cm. ftUplMM: 779-1221. $50,000 in Damages Sought in Complaint A complaint seeking $50,000 general and $4,373.80 special damages has been filed in Jack son County Circuit Court by Edward Watson Kubli, Route 4, Box 413C, Medford.
