PAGE SIX Feed Conservation First Consideration in Poultry Industry During Wartime Br BOB M'CAMBRIDGE Assistant County Agent Feed conservation is the num ber one problem In the poultry industry today. The picture is changing from how much poul try can we produce, to 'how much poultry can we feed. The war food administration has re cently advised poultry produc ers not to make further expan sion in commercial broiler pro duction which is due entirely to the feed situation. The feed dealers in Oregon have practi cally all adopted the voluntary protein rationing program - rec ommended by the U. S. depart ment of. agriculture in coopera tion with the National Feed In dustry council. Under this pro gram the feed industry will hold the protein content of mixed feeds to certain maxi mum amounts and the animal protein in each ration will be reduced to the minimum. The poultry ration recommended by the Oregon State college has been revised to comply with the rationing program and the experimental results indicate that these rations will produce satisfactory results. Due to the present feed situation some poultrymen are wondering if it would be economical to reduce the feed intake to laying hens to conserve feed. This method is not recommended as a means of feed conservation because experimental results demon strate clearly that such practice does not pay. When feed con sumption was reduced by 124 per cent in one pen of laying hens there was a decrease of 82 per cent in egg production and an increase of 27 per cent ' in the amount of feed re quired to produce a dozen eggs as compared with a check pen on full feed. When the feed intake was reduced 23 per cent en another pen, there was a de crease of 82 pet cent in egg pro - duction and an increase of 84 per cent in the number of I- M M I MMM.MU M Veach dozen eggs layed, com pared with the check pen. Here are a few suggestions which are practical and will as sist in the conservation of feed: 1. Inspect-the flock daily -to eliminate the culls and low pro ducing hens.

Soy Bean Meal Now Under Experimentation WASHINGTON, July 1 W New sources of protein live stock feeds are being explored. Senator McNary (R-Ore.) said, to supplement the rapidly di minishing supply of soy bean meal. He had been informed by the agricultural adjustment agency, the senator said, that whale meal will be available for some inter-mountain states but it is doubtful if the supply can be distributed as far west as Ore gon. A substantial quantity of liver meal and cottonseed meal has been obtained from Latin America and New Zealand and some may be allocated to west ern states, he said. The AAA, also, he was in formed, is seeking a modifica tion of shipping regulations in should be culled once in June and again in August 2. Prevent feed wastage by having ; properly constructed feed hoppers, avoid filling hop pers too full, provide feed bins, and rid poultry plant of ro dents. Large quantities of feed are lost or wasted around the average poultry plant. 3. Avoid overcrowding. It in vites diseases, lowers vitality, encourages cannibalism, and prevents maximum efficiency of feeds. 4. Feed an adequate supply of young, succulent green feed. It is a good source of proteins, minerals and especially vita mins 8. Keep clean, fresh water be fore the flock at all times. There is a close correlation be tween annual egg production and the amount of water con sumed. Water is the cheapest and most abundant feed source. 6. Provide an adequate sup ply of a well balanced ration at all times. It is not economical te try and conserve feed by feeding skimpy rations. For further information on feeding and culling poultry, growers may call at the county agent's office for bulletins cov ering these subjects. - Always read the classified ads WE WILL HELP YOU GET MORE VALUE - MORE NUTRITION FOR YOUR FOOD POINTS He 14c 13c Tin Solid Pack D...- Diamond A Sliced No. 2 Tin . 12c 35 155 634 S Lbs. 10 Lbs, $1.58 Pints) ... esc Substitutes western waters in an effort to increase the fish meal supply. He also learned that soybeans will be planted on corn lands inundated by the recent floods in the midwest and that addi tional supplies of soybean meal may come to market when this planting is completed. Only about 10,000,000 tons of high protein feeds, the agency says, have been available for distribution this year, an amount which represents only about three per cent of all feeds, exclusive of pasture. Be cause the poultrymen apparent ly were having the greatest dif ficulty obtaining supplies, the AAA said this industry had been favored in distribution of the limited amount at its dis posal. GCG WHEAT SALES HALTED, SAYS AAA CORVALLIS, July 1 (P) Sales of wheat stored in com modity credit corporation port able bins were halted today, ac cording to the state AAA office, as was a program under which producers could redeem farm- stored wheat at fed prices for use in feeding livestock. Farmers may still buy CCC wheat shipped into a county for feed, however, and county AAA committees will continue to sell wheat from lots in storage ear marked for feed purposes. A price of one cent a bushel high er than the June price will be in effect pending announcement of a July price schedule. Officials here saw in the change an indication of the ra pidity with which grain reserves are being used by the increased livestock and poultry numbers.

Calves were presented last week to Mary Ruth Haines, Marilyn Olson, and Doris M. Etheridge. These were pur chased in Medford from E. B. Poyer by Jenkins and U. E. Reeder. Three more calves were bought from the Knox brothers at Gaston, Oregon. These calves were sired by Lilac Remus, a bull owned by the Iliff ranch at Independence. Nine winners in the contest will receive calves. Other win ners to whom calves will be pre sented as soon as possible are Donald Clar, Bonanza; Donna Dickson, Henley; Joan Speystal, Malin; Bruce Crawford, Alta- mont; and Tony Cacka, Merrill. Sears, Roebuck and company sponsor an essay contest each year for 4-H members. Selec tion of winners is made on the essay contest and on the prac ticability of dairy projects at the home of the member. Purpose of the contest is to Introduce breeding stock of high grade in to Klamath county. State Ag Man Favors Increased Wages to Farm Help PORTLAND, July 1 m State Agriculture Director E. L. Peterson says farm wages should be brought up to parity with pay in other war indus tries. He told the Multnomah Coun ty Republican club yesterday that the armed .forces and lend lease would take from 14 to 28 per cent of the nation's food production this year compared to 8 per cent in 1942. 'There is nothing I can see but confusion in food control as it is in operation in this country at the present time," he said.
