Rural Homes
Field For
Electricity
Approximately 40 ier cent of
rural homemakers having elec
tricity are Interested In purchas
, lng new equipment, according to
information in a national survey
which reached the office of the
county home demonstration
agent, Mrs. Winnifred GiUen,
this week. In July, 1946, 69
per cent of all Oregon farm
: homes were electrified, Mrs.
Gillcn adds. -
, Information collected In the
survey Is being used in a aeries
of extension meetings in various
counties of the state dealing
with the selection and use of
electrical equipment, where
home demonstration agents are
showing pictures and conducting
discussions of post-war refriger
- ators, electric ranges, electric
washing machines and ironers.
Bulletins issued by home man
agement experts of the Oregon
State college are available from
Mrs. Gillen's office, (room 208,
post office building) giving de
tailed information on the points
to be considered in buying elec
trical equipment for the home.
In 56 per cent of the rural
homes the kitchen range serves
as a means of heat, Mrs. Gillen
points out Most of these homes
will retain the wood range
when an electric range is pur
chased. Dirty work clothes make the
washing machine the most used
large piece of electrical equip
ment in the farm home. The au
tomatic machine has one of the
greatest developments in mod
ern household labor saving ap
pliances, say Oregon State col
lege specialists. This machine
washes, rinses and spins the
clothes dry enough to hang them
out. From 2 to 3 cents an hour
is the estimated cost of electric
current for the automatic, which
is practically the same aa that
for any washing machine.
Bulletins which may be ob
tained free of charge on large
electrical equipment from coun
ty extension offices in the post
office building in Klamath Falls,
are: "Selecting An Electric
Range," "Selecting an Electric
Washing Machine," and the new
publication of the United States
department of agriculture, "How
to Choose and Use Your Refrigerator."
Summer Songsters Must Be
Fed During Winter Weather
Br JOY BIGGS
Bird tracks over the snow are
a mute reminder that our
feathered friends must be cared
for in hard times if we are to
enjoy their cheery notes in the
warmer seasons.
Bird lovers all over the city
are following regular systems for
feeding their friends now that
the natural supply of seeds is
covered with snow.
Suet seems to be a "must" on
the winter diet for birds and an
approved method of feeding this
is to tack a strip of suet high in
a tree. This keeps it from house
hold pets and varmints. For
quail, however, suet should be
crumbled and scattered near the
brushy places they use for cover.
A platform with a guard rail
nailed to a post is also a good
ilace to lay the suet. By fasten
ng it down any one bird is
prevented from making off with
the whole piece and numbers of
birds can pick at it for hours.
Bread crumbs and other scraDS
from the table can be spread on
the platform too. and grain
soaked in hot water is very ac-
ceptaoie to ine oiras.
Persons living in apartment
nouses ana where they have no
yards can still do their part in
keeping the songsters alive
through the winter bv placing
food on window ledges and in
window feed boxes. A window
by the breakfast table is a pleas
ant place to feed the birds as
their behavior can be observed
through the pane without fright
ening them.
That birds need water too,
should not be forgotten. When
most of their water sources are
frozen over and the water they
do get is ice cold, it is a good
idea to put out wide, shallow
dishes of warm water.
Large coveys of quail can be
seen making regular daily for
ages for the food scattered for
them by residents along JLake-
snore drive. While some rest
dents along the drive report an
unusual number of quail this
winter, others seem to have
missed seeing any of the little
birds, which looks like the birds
may change their boarding
places, choosing the ones that
servo what they like best. Quail
seem to huddle in close bunches
in the cold weather and probably
all follow the leader to his favor
its feeding spot.
Tho large Klamath pelicans
left the lake a couple of months
ago, staying longer than usual
because of the mild winter here.
After the pelicans wore gone,
ducks stayed, nesting in the niles
along the lake's edge, safe from
the hunters and the sound of
their guns. Quail, Juncos, spar,
rows and robins are mostly to
be seen, with a few meadow
larks in some vicinities.
