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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

There can be flo doubt that a
strong effort will be made In the
new congressional session to pro
vide marketing quotas for potatoes
reports Whitney Tharin. executive
secretary of the national potato
council.
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. The council meet
Farmers Boosted
By New Drug
WASHINGTON P The develop
ment of penicillin has proved a
boost for farmers according to re
port of the department of agricul
ture. 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,

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.

trees and shrubs will be con
tinued next week by Mrs. Myers.
