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.

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.

Most folks today realize that a periodic phys
ical check-up can help keep them in shape, and
hopefully ward off illness and big medical bills.
"It's the same with houses," says home-planning
authority, A. M. Watkins, author of "The
Complete Book of Home Remodeling, Repair
and Improvcmcnt,"and other books and articles
in his field. Mr. Watkins has now prepared a
booklet especially for the New York Lire Insur
ance Company entitled "How To Hold Down
Home Maintenance Costs."
Avoid Unnecessary Repair Bills. "Certain
stitch-in-timc maintenance checks can pay off
in handsome dividends," he points out. "They
can sharply cut your annual house operating
bills, as well as forestall a major repair bill."
By keeping a home in tip-top shape, you pre
serve its resale value, and also reap the most liv
ing enjoyment.
In a detailed, easy-to-follow analysis, Mr.
Watkins lists the key problem areas to look out
for in plumbing, electricity, heating and such
and what to do about them.
When lo "Do-it-yourself." Many major re
pairs and emergency service calls stem from a
few basic causes, the booklet explains, and so a
check-up plus preventive maintenance can often
help you stave them o(T. The average person can
take care of numerous small difficulties himself.
Mr. Watkins tells you the type of repairs you
generally should not attempt to handle yourself,
and how to hold down costs when you do hire
specialists for repairs and improvements.
