WHEAT S VALUE
OF
: The value of wheat in fatten'
ing lambs was well demonstrat
ed again in the 4-H club lamb-
fattening contest sponsored by
the Eastern Oregon Wheat
league, in the opinion of H. A.
Llndgren, extension livestock
field man, and L. J. Allen, as
sistant state club leader, who
were in active charge of the
contest. At the same time the
feeding of 324 lambs by 28 dif
ferent boys and one girl served
to show the importance of cor
rect feeding methods as well as
the use of proper feeding ma
terials, they pointed out.
Of the total number of lambs
fed, in pens of 12 each, 114
graded good to choice, after 110
days of feeding, 147 graded med
ium, and 71 graded common. The
lambs were all shipped rrom
Heppner, where they were
shown at the wheat league con
vention, to Portland and sold
there to a San Fiancisco buyer.
Top grade brought $10.75 per
hundred pounds, the mediums
$9.85, and the commons $9.
. Highest average gain of 36
pounds per head during the feed
ing period was made by a pen
fed by Bobby Van Schoiack of
Heppner, although the pen fed
by Phillip Hoon of Umapine, in
which all 12 lambs made the top
grade, won the largest premium
based on condition of the lambs.
Elton Medlar of Rufus had 11
of his 12 lambs in the top grade,
and Harold Smith of Pilot Rock
bad 10 out of 12.
Wheat fed whole plus chopped
alfalfa - hay proved to be the
most successful fattening ration.
Pens in which the lambs were
fed plenty of hay and wheat but
not with the regularity required,
made poor gains compared with
those fed properly. In comment
big on the contest, D. E. Rich
ards, who has conducted much
feeding research at the eastern
Oregon branch experiment sta
tion, pointed out that in round
figures 100 pounds of wheat and
200 pounds of chopped hay will,
put a lamb in top condition. He
added that - more fattening of
lambs would furnish a profitable
market for northwest surplus
wheat.. .

Weekly Market Trends
(Editor's Xot: The following market Is
formation 1 supplied from material obtained
over Ut government leased wire In the
office of the extension economist at Oregon
State college. The material. In the form of
sreckly summary of trends tn the lire-
stock market, is not Intended to replace
spot day by day market reports.)
Cattle Markets
Best grades of cattle were
somewhat higher on the North
Portland market last Monday,
when 2000 head were offered
for local sale.' Numerous loads
of short fed steers sold at $11.25
to $12.00, while choice fed
grades brought up to $12.75. The
trading in lower grades was
slow. Higher prices also pre
vailed in San Francisco and
Chicago.
Livestock markets were some
what affected last week by the
war developments, with price
gains registered .on most
markets following the Japanese
attack. This upward trend was
most noticeable in the middle
west. The 'cattle markets, how
ever, were not affected as much
as those for hogs and lambs.
Most of the midwestern markets
are now -eceiving a larger pro
portion of well finished medium
weight and heavy steers than
has been the case recently. A
shift in buyer, preference ties
been toward the well finished
stock rather than in favor of
any particular weights.
- The recent sharp -advance for
well fed steers has stimulated
the demand for feeders. An in
creased movement of stocker
and feeder cattle into the mid
west corn belt states occurred in
November. Until this occurred,
is appeared that the number of
cattle fed in the corn belt
would be materially lower than
last year. Reports from states
outside the corn belt indicate
that there will also be some de
crease in total number fed com
pared with a year ago. The same
situation appears to prevail in
the 11 western states. Oregon is
among the states showing little
change in cattle feeding pros
pects.
Sheep and Lamb Markets
Active trading on Monday
was accompanied by an advance
of from 25 to 35 cents in price,
as 1700 head were offered lo
cally. Good to choice trucked-in
lambs sold at $10.50, with one
sorted load bringing $11.00.
Higher prices also prevailed at
Chicago and Omaha, with top
quotations of $13. Q0 and $12.50
respectively.
Slaughter of sheep and lambs
in October was only 97 per cent
of that of October, 1940, but
for the year including October,
the slaughter has been about
5 per cent greater than a year
ago.
Hog Markets
Although an unusually heavy
shipment, amounting to 3800
hogs, arrived in Portland Mon
day, only 2000 head were offer
ed for local sale. Trading was
active, with price advances of
around 35 cents. Good to choice
light drive-ins and carloads sold
mostly at $11.75, with heavier
weights bringing up to $11.25.
An advance of 50 cents was re
ported froi.i San Francisco, with
a top of $12.25, while at Chic
ago a slight advance occurred
to a top of $11.50.
Hog slaughter during the first
10 months of -1941 has been
only 93 per cent of that of the
same period in 1940.
Wool Markets
- Further strength was realster-
ed in the wool market in Bos
ton following the outbreak of
war. All grades of domestic
wools were in demand, with
asking prices higher. Buyers
adopted a waiting attitude, how
ever, with rumors that a price
celling might be established.
Sales of fine territory wools
were made in limited Quantities
at mostly $1.12, scoured basis,
Hogs Don't Happen Very Often
scales at 1000 pounds live weight.
for good French combing
length. Original bag territory
wools of the same quality
brought $1.10 to $1.12.
The importance of wool in
the defense program is clearly
shown by the marked increase
in United States wool imports,
which reached record levels in
the early months of 1941. Im
ports of apparel wool for con
sumption total nearly three
times the amount brought in
in 1939-40, which up to that
time held a record.

Blackout Problems of Poultry
Raisers Given Careful Study
Poultrymen faced with the
problem of maintaining high egg
production through artificial
lights in times of blackouts are
being advised to continue the
lights but to darken the win
dows, and then provide ventila
tion by other means. Such a so
lution is suggested by N. L.
Bennlon, extension poultrymnn
at Oregon State college, who
points out the irregular use or
sudden discontinuance of light
will reduce etig production Just
at a time when it is badly need
ed, or may oven causo birds to
moult.
"With the hours and length
of time of blackout so indefinite,
the most practical way to meet
the problem seems to be to con
tinue the use of lights as in tho
the president. The minutes were
then read. After all the business
had been looked over, wo sung
a song and gave a yell. We then
started our work. Somo of the
girls did not have their sewing
but they snjd that they would
bring it next time. It seemed
that we Just got in the room and
started sewing when it was time
to quit. After everyone did a
little sewing, the meeting was
adjourned by Edna Mae Bcnzley
who is our president.

Christmas Trees
Can Be Treated
To Resist Fire
Christmas trees may be rend
ered highly flro-reslstant by a
simple process worked- out by
tho U. S. bureau of agricultural
chemistry, points out T. J. Stark
er, professor of forestry at Ore
gon State college. Tho material
used is ammonium sulphate, a
common fertilizer obtainable at
most feed and seed stores.
The amount of ammonium sul
phato to uso Is one-fourth of the
weight of tho tree. It Is dissolv
ed in 11 pints water for each
pound of material, and then the
freshly cut butt of the tree Is
immersed In this solution, after
which the tree Is left In a cool
place away from direct sunlight
until most of the solution is absorbed.
