Dr. Paulson.
To arrive at the Ideal formula.
Dr. Paulnon aelecled hUthly In

enllinaled is.OOO rodent population
with experimental mlxturea. Six

conaumed by rodrnU during the
three month period.
Carefully weighing the varloua
balling material uaed and keeping
accurate recorda of the amount
eaten dally, Paulaon found the for

ferred by the rata over the hun
dreds of foods readily available In
the dump.
"The rals crowded Into the bait
station nighl and dnv to gel this
special food." Dr. Paulaon said.
Tons of oiher foods were always
present." he added, '"but the ro

call LX 3-2-1."

favoring existing federal larm leg
islatlon.
Policies of the federation were
expressed In resolutions approved
by voting delegates yesterday at
the clone of the group's 33rd an
nual convention. More than 1000
larm men and women attended the
live-day meeting.
The resolutions dealt with prob
lems of national and International
importance, ranging from United
Natlona to rural life. The delegatea
expressed their vlewa on foreign
policy, long-range tax policies, ci
vilian military training, and eco
nomic policies to be followed dur
ing a mobilization period.
The federation, which saya It
represents nearly 1,500.000 (Ml
larm lamlllea In 40 states and
Puerto Klco, said II favored "the
maintenance of the present price
support frnturca of the agriculture
act of 1048 which are designed to
provide protection agulnat extreme
price declines without going to the
opposite extreme of government
price fixing."
HI'I'POKTH i
The resolution sdded. "We do
not believe thul action to raise the
level of price support above thut
now provided In the agriculture
act of 18'JU Is In the long-run In
terest of larm people."
On economic policies during the
defense build-up period, the feder
ation opposed "unnecessary gov
ernment controls." but approved
allocations and priorities for scarce
materials.
"Government spending must be
paid for. either by tuxes or bv In
lladon." a resoludon said. "We
ally ROTC programs ba expanded.
The group aaid that "considering
the great difficulties" It believed
that "commendable achievements
bave been made by the United Na
tlona. Another resolution aald the
United States should help "main
tain freedom tor those who have
It and regain It for those who have
lost It."
Allan B. Kline of Vinton, la., was
reelected president of the group
for bis third two-year term.

Which way Is the state's
try Industry headed?
That's question to be answered
In March at the state agricultural
conference scheduled for the Ore
gon BUte college campus. Mean
while, a committee headed by
Oeorge Petersen, Eugene, Is pre
paring a report to present to those
who attend the statewide confer
ence. Recommendations for curtailing,
a status quo, or increases In var
ious Industry phases will be the
meat of the committee's findings.
Thus far, they have found that
Oregon'a laying hen population has
remained approximately static for I
the past quarter-century at num
bers ranging from three to three
and one-half million birds. Prior
to 1940, the state was on an egg
exporting basis, shipping 15 to 20
percent of the total production to
markets as far afield as the east
ern seaboard.
Today, the picture Is s complete
turn-about. The recent 40 percent
population hike has now put the
state on an egg deficit basis sp
it has been pointed out thst the
Oregon turkey Industry and that
of Ihe Pacific coast generally Is
producing about 50 percent more
market birds than are being eaten
locally. High cost of feed, advanc
ing freight rates and high priced
labor in relation to other produc
ing aress Is tending to result In
a competitive disadvantage (or
local producers.
On the brighter aide, the aver
age breeder hen ln the United
States last year produced 13 poults
while this state's sverage was 25
poults per bird.
The conference Is planned to re
view the situation of 11 basic farm
commodities and to make recom
mendations for the future course
of each. Noel Bennlon, Oregon
State college extension poultry spe
cialist, is secretary for the poultry
committee.
