BUTTER-IKI CORVALLIS, Feb. 25 (VP) Perfection of a butter-making mothod that Is expected to add at least $40,000 to the value of the annual butter output of Oregon If generally applied, has been announced by the dairy depart ment of Oregon State college. The method Is the culmination of six-years' research conducted under tho direction of Dr. G. H. Wllster. professor of dairy man ufacturing, The new process Is known is the "50, 45, 40 method," and Is designed to ollmlnate crumbly and sticky texture of butter ma Jo in the season when hay rathor than green feed is the chief ration of dairy cows. The figures refer to temperatures of cream and butter maintained at various step of the process. So-called sticky or crumbly butter is hard to spread or to cut into neat putties for serving, re sulting in a loss of grade and a lower price. It has occurred al most universally in winter in al falfa hay sections of the west.

Feb. 25 IIP) lmmcdiute arrangement with dealers for nitrogen fertilizer needed by farmers for this year's crops is recommended by Arthur S. King, extension noils specialist at Oregon Stuto college. . Crops aro now divided Into class A and class B, with dealers required to supply the needs of class A growers first. Crop Listed "Unfortunately many class B crops In Oregon need nitrogen bcf6re tho Important A crops," said King. "While dealers will do their best to hold buck sup plies for cluis A growers, they cun be 'expected to protect only those who cooperate by placing advance orders for tWbir needs." Growers of class A crops can get fertilizer whether they have grown them before or not. Crops Include, for Oregon, flox, hybrid corn for seed, dry or snap beans, lima beans, beets, cabbage and carrots. Cla B crops arc all other crops except cucumbers for fresh market, melons and grain, on which use of nitrogen ferti lizer Is prohibited. Only those who have previously used nitro gen fertilizer for class B crops can get It for them this year. GOALS AND PAYMENTS Oregon goals and incentive payments for the four crops for which war needs have, increased are: dry smooth peas, 28,000 acres, $15 an acre; potatoes, 44, 000 acres, 50 cents a bushel on the normal yield; dry beans, 5000 acres, $20 an acre; flax seed, 2000 acres, $10 an acre.

Tho list of goal asked of Ore gon producers was furnished to Senator- McNury (R-Orc.) by N. E. Dodd, director of the west ern division of the agricultural adjustment agency. The agency suggests 44,000 acres of potatoes, which would be 122 per cent of the 1942 planting and 08 per cent of the 1035-30 figure; 28,000 acres of dry field peas, which Is 112 per cent of last year's planting and 933 per cent of the acreage for the five-year pre-war period; 5000 acre of dry edible beans, which represents percentages of 167 and 250, 2000 acre of flax seed, equal to the amount plant ed last year and 67 per cent of tho five-year average.

CATTLE MARKETS Tho cattle market at North Portland remained strong on Monday, when some' of the best from among 1050 head offered locally sold up to $16, a new high for the season reached last week. Most of the medium to good steers, however, brought $14 to $15.50. Total receipts last week of 1300 head showed some advanco over the week before, but were under last year's fig ure. The condition of livestock on farms and ranges declined dur ing January, though death losses have not been much heavier than usual. The February 1 condi tion of cattle was the lowest on record except for 1932. however. Thi somewhat reflects the low condition of ranges and shortage of feed in some sections. The February 1 condition of range feeds In Oregon was the lowest in 20 years except for 1936. In eastern Oregon many ranges were under six inches or more of hard crusted snow, while ex posed ranges afforded little feed that early. Stockmen are re ported feeding an unusual MR.

The agency wants' 422,000 head of cattle and calves for marketing and farm slaughter, representing an increase of 14 per cent over last year and 37 per cent over the five-year pe riod. It proposes 774,000 head of sheep and lambs for the sume use but the number Is only 85 per cent of the total slaughtered last year und 66 per cent of the five-year aver age. In farm production of milk, the agency asks 1,500,000,000 pounds, which would be 101 per cent of last year's produc tion and 112 per cent of the five-year figure; chickens, 19, 130,000 pounds or 115 and 119 per cent; turkeys, 35,945,0OP pounds or 115 and 174 per cent; eggs, 40,878,000 dozen or 102 and 120 per cent. amount of grain to supplement dwindling hay supplies. SHEEP AND LAMB MARKETS The 1000 head of sheep and lambs offered for local trading at North Portland Monday luck ed considerable quality, result ing in a market condition steady to weak compared with Friday's close. A few good to choice woolcd lambs brought $15, though only a few offerings met this grade. A somewhat lower trend in the market prevailed at Chicago, while at Omaha slaugh ter lambs were fully 25 cents lower than last week's close. Most of the good and choice fed woolcd and wheat field lambs sold at $15.50 to $15.75. Marketings of sheep and lambs are holding fairly even with those of a year ago. Contract was active in California last week so that a high percentage of the crop from the Stockton area south is now sold. Esti mates arc that more than 350, 000 head of the early lamb fcrop in the San Joaquin valley arc now under sale contract. Prices called for are mostly around $15 straight across for all merchant able lambs for Into April through May delivery.

Slaughter hogs brought mostly $16.25, with heavier weights at $15.50 to $15.75. Prices at Chicago were up 10 to 20 cent compared to last week. close, with a top of $15.60. The current report of live stock numbers on farms as of January 1 shows hogs leading the list with an increase of 22 per cent over the previous year to a total of 73,660,000 head. A large Increase In the 1943 spring pig crop Is In prospect and a resultant record supply of slaugb ter hogs In 1943.

WOOL MARKETS Practically no trading In do mestic wool occurred on the Boston market last week, though contracts at country points, most ly in the southwest, have been reported. Very little 1942 terri. tory wools are now available, and manufacturers are mostly out of the market for the pres ent. In Texas the asking price for spring delivery of 12-months wool was around 45 cents. Ill SEIZED TO E LOS ANGELES, Feb. 25 (P) The executive committee of Cali fornia's Associated Farmers was told yesterday the government is . seizing arable land to grow rubber-producing guayule, de spite a growing food shortage that threatens malnutrition. Sail Lloyd W. Frick, of Arvln, Calif.: "It is outrageous that the gov ernment should order abandon ment of food crop acreage in favor of guayule when there are thousands of acres suitable for rubber production that cannot be used for food crops." Californians, said E. Stanton Daley, of Woodland, president of the farmers, face not only mal nutrition but actual hunger "un less immediate steps are taken to assure planting and harvesting of crops," principally in provid ing adequate labor.

W. Short, chairman of the county AAA committee, report ed yesterday. Last July, congress authorized the sale of 125,000,000 bushels of government-owned wheat for feeding to livestock and poultry, Short explained. This amount is exhausted, so no more can be sold until congress takes further action. Stored The chairman emphasized that the program has been halted be cause the amount authorized has been sold, not because there is no wheat available. There is still plenty of wheat in the ever normal granary, as the 125 mil lion bushels sold for feed is a small part of the billion and a half bushel supply on hand after harvest last year. Over seven million bushels of Oregon wheat have been sold for feed under the program, he re ported. But while that much was moving out, another 14 million bushels of the 1942 crop was moved into storage and placed under government loan in the state. Good Feed Grain j Klamath county farmers have icq aDoui 2uuu ions oi ieea wheat to livestock and poultry under the program, Short re ports. The price of the wheat, set by congress at 85 per cent of corn parity price, ranged be tween 85 cents and 98 cents a bushel. Wheat has been demonstrated IS YOUR CHILD A U0SE PICKER?
