Wheat Good For Fattening Cattle, Lambs Let's keep more feeder lamb and cattle In the stale and fatten th-m on Oregon wheal, writes an OSC extension animal husbandry speci alist. Harry Llndgren. In a new ex tension bulletin, number M5. en titled "feeding Wheat to Live stork " Interest In wheat feeding in creases whenever surpluses auprar and when prices tend to stay no higher than support levels. Prior to the war the Oregon experiment sta tion conducted extensive feeding ex periment with surplus wheat sun piled by the federal government and determined when It Is economi cal to feed wheat In various live stock operations. Feeders Llndgren point out that It has been customary to ship feeder wilua feed wheat has been frequrnt fY tatting despite the fact that sur Tffiibs and cattle to other areas for ly available. Experimental results at the college showed that wheat Is equal to corn and barley for fat tening hogs. It requires about 7" - n of wheat to fatten a 30 pound feeder plf to a 300 pound market weight. With wheat aa well as other grains, protein supplements tank age, fish meal, or some other high protein concentrate Is required to make the proper balance between carbohydrates and orotelna. Feed With Hay Mndgren says wheat may be used satisfactorily to fatten lambs and cattle. It will require about 800 pounds of ground wheat to put a 650 pound yearling feeder steer at market weight. The wheat Is best fed with hay. Use of good alfalfa pasture during the fattening period will reduce grain requirements as much as 23 to 30 per cent and animals will grade higher at market time, the specialist emphasizes. Copies of the bulletin are avail able through county extension of fices or by writing direct to Ore gon State college. Tills disease may also cause pa ralysla or twisting necks and quit often birds go down In the legs. not able to walk and obtain food. Orown birds quit often lose body wrlght and are poor In condition, and laying flocks drop off very rapidly In egg production, fur a con siderable period of time. Although difficulties In breath ing are one of the oioil noticed Indications of Newcastle, they are so similar to other diseases, that It Is Impossible to tell Newcastle from the Inspection of a flock. Newcastle can be so easily confuted with other types of poultry troubles, that blood tests are the only definite means of diagnosis. Newcastle Is highly Infectious and can be easily spread by poor sani tary conditions, oiaeratnrs and field men, going from one flock to another, and exchanges of birds, which come from Newcastle flocks and the uses of Infected crates. When Newcastle Is suspected In the area, the flock should be Isolated and visitors should not be permit ted. Vaccinations Vaccination with dead vaccines, or modified vaccines are not recom mended at this time. In fact. It Is against state regulations to vacci nate without written permission from the state department of agri culture. The use of vaccinations Is Illegal, unless a representative of the stale department Inspects the situation and allows a permit. The vaccination for Newcastle with the present vaccines on the market, can i be more serious. In some Instances, I then the contraction of the disease. I With vaccination, young birds all! . be retarded In development for at I least two weeks, or a laying flock ; will be reduced to practically noth ing for a period of severs! weeks. It should be emphasized that car casses or live birds suspected of having Newcastle, should not be sent by express orparrel post. If the birds are to be Inspected at the Oregon slate poultry laboratory, the birds should be taken there In per son, or better suit, blood samnles sent. Birds with Infection, either dead or alive, can be a source of disease spreader In railroad cars, or other shipping means, when there Is a possibility of live birds also being shipped by the same carrier. There Is no known medicinal cure for the disease at this time. Make It as easy as possible for the birds to get food and water, by placing the container on the floor. Use all sanitary precautions while the dis ease t running Its course. Do not spread It by going to the poultry farmers or allowing others to go from flock to flock. Use self quar I amine methods on your flock, which I will be one of the greatest helps I In reducing this and other poultry disease problems. . as-ee" j, .- ' ' gwa - - . v m kaMMMSl tl l I' If (i II fin ii li tl M II Iraf aft I 1 CHEMICAL SPRAYING FOR CATTLE LICE Robert W. Every, Oregon stole entomologist, is pictured odministcring o spray to kill cattle lice on cattle at West Lyon's form near Mer rill. Several spraying demonstrations were held by the department of agriculture in this area last week. Nursery Authority Gives Tips, Advice For Trees, Shrubs By MK8. W. P. MVKKU Of Lakeshera Gardens Nursery Treea are like people. They are known by their characteristic and Important contributions to society. The troves were Ood's first temples; In the cool and alienee, man knelt drwn and offered solemn thanks. The tree la a friend of man. It give him shelter from storm and shade from burning sun, and he owea It to himself to see that atreet and roadside shade treea are given their well-earned place In the uni verse. There la a constant demand for Information as to best variety and the time to plant treea and shrubs in this area. It la true that climatic conditions limit the variety to some extent; however, there la an abun dance of material from which to choose the tree or shrub you need. Altitude This high altitude of over 4000 feet require a hardy, cold resistant tpe of tree or shrub. Time and experience has shown La what. when and how to plant sucessfully The smaller growing tree ha ; many advantages. It does not grow Into overhead wires, requires very little trimming, and does not shut off the view of the street a doea the larger growing shade trees. We have many beautiful flower ing shade trees. The purple leaf flowering plum cornea In single and double pink blooms. The single variety bloma before the leave ap pi sr. while the double flowering blooms In May when leaves are out. flowering Plums with their purpu rea foliage present a gay atmo sphere In the landscape through out the summer. Japanese flowering Cherry, which will ultimately .each the size of a cherry fruit tree, comes In all colors from rose to white. The double dark pink Kwanzan Is the most popular. These are the flowering cherries of national fame, which vere preserted to Mrs. Taft by the Emperor of Japan during President Taft s administration and planted on the banks of the Potomac. Crab Apple Land Bank Increases Loan Limit Tha Federal Land bank of Spo kane has Increased Its maximum loan limit from 150.000 tc 100.000, Henry Matthew, president, an. nounced recently. "With the expansion of larger op. eratlons In the four northwest states, particularly In the past 10 years, the demand for financing In excess of the $50,000 limit In creased." Matthew said. The 1100.. 000 limit now available places th bank In a position to more ade quately serve those w ho, by reason of financing requirements In con nection with their extensive opera tlons, have, been precluded from participating In this system." Although the loan limit has been doubled, Matthew explained that the bank will continue to apply It normal agricultural value yard stick. The bank's loans, he said, are based on 66 per cent of th normal agricultural value of a farm or ranch as determined by appraisal. , m ..

Achievement Veek - Vinds Up 4-H Year Spraying May Check Cattle Lice Increase Lice conditions on livestock are bad this year and the department of agriculture Is now taking steps to check the spread of these conditions by cattle spraying In the Klamath area. Last week several spraying demon stration were held by J. D. Vertrees, assistant county agent, and Robert W. Every, extension en tomologist from Oregon State. Chemlcala Used Every pointed out the spraying cattle 1 almost as good as the dip ping process and much easier and faster. By use of the portable spray, a mixture of rote none and methy oxchlor or sometimes DDT is spray ed on a small group of cattle from 10 to 12 In about ten minutes. He said It la possible to spray 500 cat tle In a dav. All of the Insecticides are safe material, however. DDT !

For specimen planting or screen ing background we have the charm ing Weeping Cherry, both single and double flowering In early spring. Flora bunda Crab is a small semi weplng ornamental tree which Is Utterly covered with single pink flowers over a long period and makes a pleasing picture in the landscape wherever planted. Ornamental Rose Acacia or Moss Locust is one ot the most valued ornamental flowering trees, in either upright form or grafted standards. It car ries long raceme of pink pea shaped flower In the spring, with continued bloom on new growth throughout the summer. Other ornamental trees Include umbrella trees, of several varieties. Is not recommended for use on dairy animals, "We can not completely kill all the lice by this spraying method, but we can check their multiplica tion and keep them In control." Ev ery said. Any information desired about the 4 spraying system or-nce control may be obtained by contacting the de partment of agriculture In Klamath Falls. National 4-H club adhlevement week.

Several congressional leaders have all advised the national po tato council that they will press for marketing quotas for potatoes In the next session. The department of agriculture has long advocated a marketing quota for potatoes, so It recom mendations along this line undoubt edly will be given considerable weight by the members of the sen ate and house who are also Insist ing upon marketing quota for potatoes. In view of this, the national po tato council will be required to take a position one way or another In regard to quota.

Corn steep liquor and milk sugar are used to make penicillin. Studies are being pushed to de velop other fermentation product in antibiotics, feed yeasts, vitamins and alcohol, the department says. One project Is growth of mushroom spawn which is said to have as good food qualities as yeast and tastes better. Other project now try to find ferments that will use fruit pulps, dairy by-products, and cannery wastes.

Va. tiP Everybody had a good time at the television party Ronald Macdonald gave at his home especially the guest who walked off with the television set. In Washington, 2. November 28 and dormant or partially dormant. P,ant them any time after they stop growing in the fall and until they begin new growth in the early sum mer. The best time to plant over sued trees la during the winter months, while they are completely dormant and may be dug bare root and transplanted to their new set t:ng without permanent injury. Evergreen tree which are not too large may be planted any time, since they are balled In earth and root are not exposed to the air. Even deciduous trees and shrubs If balled In earth may be planted al inost any time with success. Planting After selecting the place to plant the tree, dig a hole larger than the ' outer edge of the roots or the ball of earth, place the tree In it, fill the hole half way up with top soil and turn In water to wash the soil down around the roots, then fill In soil to the top and water again, after which place a mulch of dry dirt on top. Use fertilizer very sparingly, but a mulch ot barnyard fertilizer may be spread around the tree after it is Dlanted. ! When planting, choose the tree 1 Globe Locust. best suited for planting in a par-i ticular soil and location, keeping In nund whether It Is for shade, shelter or strictly ornamental. Shade If a dense shade is needed, choose Chinese Elm. Black Locust, Weep. Ing wulow, Norway Maple. Silver Maple. Green Ash, American Elm and Black Walnut, all of which are rather fast growing and resistant o winter breakage, but is perhaps the fastest growing of all shade trees. Other shade trees which are slower growing, but ultimately reach a large size, are American Linden, Horse Chestnut. Tulip Tree, White. Red. Scarlet and Pink Oak. Of the smaller growing shade trees, we have Schwidler Maple, Sugar and Scarlet Maple. Mt. Ash, Variegated Box Elder, and Crimson Maple, which made its appearance on the market last year but were In such demand that all the stock was sold out and are not available this year. The most outstanding of all flow ering shade trees Is Paul's Scarlet Hawthorne. The many Hawthcrnes which were planted In Klamath fooymaltl Tv Falls last spring In answer to the campaign promoted by your Garden club Is most gratifying. We are well on the road to becoming the beautiful Hawthorne city of our dreams! Flowering Tree Nothing adds so much to the beauty of the landscape a lovely flowering trees In their season. The small flowering and shade trees are desirable for parking space or front lawn and should be used when a heavy shade is not needed. Fruit trees are ornamental as well as useful. No backyard planting Is complete without a few well chosen fruit trees. They give shade and beauty as well as fruit In season The tall growing evergreens, use ful for specimen planting, wind bteaks, or roadside planting, include spruce, fir. pine, cedar, hemlock and Juniper. Colorado Blue spruce I the most admired and widely grown of all American evergreen. It I a native of the central Rocky mountain re gion and is of rather slow growth, but ultimately may reach s height of 100 feet. It Is the choice Christ mas tree for the front yard and Its pyramidal crown with silvery blue foliage makes It a striking fea ture of any landscape. Spruce Engleman spruce resembles Col orado Blue, and grows In the high elevations of the Rocky and Cas cade mountains. Ordinarily it Is deep blue green, but some are sil very blue. Its singular beauty of color and form makes it favored for landscape purposes. Norway Spruce, the common spruce of Europe, Is widely planted in this country. Because ot its hardiness and fast growing quali ties, it is favored for windbreaks and shelter belts In western prairies. It not only makes a good screen or windbreak but is regarded only second to the Colorado Blue sprue for specimen planting. I Oregon fir is available from our i native forest or may be purchased from nurseries. White fir la the most beautiful of the firs found on the Pacific coast. It is of pyramidal form, with silvery gray needles and tapering branches reaching to the ground. Balsam fir Is another grand tiee found In our native forests. It Is of symetrical form, with blue green leaves, shiny on the upper side and grey green underneath. The arrow-headed deep blue green spires of Balsam fir add a note of forest Interest to the landscape. Incense Odor California or Incense cedar Is common In Oregon forest and easily transplanted. It Is a rapid gtower and Is useful for either windbreak or specimen planting. The pungent aromatic odor of the leaves gives rise to the name of Ii'cense cedar. Scotch and Austrian pine art mostly used for screens or wind breaks. Their dense foliage and spreading habit places them among the best for this purpose. Ponderosa pine is a majestic tree In the forest, rather slow growing and gets too large for ordinary use; but Is suitable for roadside plant ing or woodland area. The Sierra or common Juniper la another interesting native tree which may be transplanted from the wild and become a valued item ot the landscape. Editor's Note: This article on trees and shrubs will be con tinued next week by Mrs. Myers.
