GRANGERS SHAPE THE PATTERN
off OREGON'S DEVELOPMENT
Fruits, nut and berries meant $46,475,000 to Oregoa
In 1945. They meant a lot more than that to Grangers.
' The dollan-and-ctnts estimate by the U.S. Bureau of
Agricultural Economics represents hard cash put into
circulation by the state's orchardists and berry grower.
' It also represents another substantial industry to support
' the long-standing Grange position that the stability of

agriculture.
The Grange takes pride in counting 30,000 progressive
Oregon farmers among it members. They are bound

Turkey Eggs
Going Into
Incubators
TULELAKE, March 8 From
80,000 to 90,000 bronze turkey
eggs will go into big electric in
cubators at the Modoc Turkey
farm owned by Shuck brothers
before end of the hatching sea
son and with good luck this
means turkey dinner for a "lot
ta" folks. Five thousand eggs
went Into the hatching apparatus
last week and 5000 will be set
each week.
The eggs are being ihipped
here from Deschutes county and
from points In California. None
are being produced here.
Between 25,000 and 30,000
will be raised by Shuck brothers
with Bruce Hagerman as man
ager of the plant and the re
mainder of the poults will be for
sale either as day-old poults or at
6 weeks.
Birds raised here will be
started at the turkey farm, in
operation last year, and will be
finished in pens in the Stukel
mountain country. The farm fin
ished out and dressed 20,000
birds last season, most of them
going to eastern markets. All
poults handled here last season
were hatched elsewhere and the
new equipment for hatching has
been installed since last spring.
Shuck brothers, who built and
operated their own killing and
packing plant at Merrill last
fall, have tentative plans for
using the equipment at the farm
for production of broilers and
fryers when the turkey season
is over.
