He blames the losses on lack of shade and water on the range, and haa these suggestions for tur key raisers. Turkeys need enough shade to protect them from the sun without crowding- If range shelters are used enough for all the birds should be supplied. They should be clone enough together to prevent the whole (lock from trying to use one, especially during very hot weather. Borne losses have resulted when a lot of birds crowded around a little shade. Water, one of the cheapest parts of a feeding program, is albo one of the most neglected, Bennlon says. Turkeys consume large amounts of water, and supplying this Item Is especially Important during hot weather. Drinking lac ill- ties ahould be located where all the birds can satisfy their needs at all times. of good clean milk that could be ninde available by chmiglng dairy housing requirements In cu.se ol Ornde A fluid milk shortage, ac cording In Oregon Stale college dlnry nclcnll.its. A renenrch team from the OSC experiment station h'is completed three and one-half years ol tests on (actors affecting quality of milk. They reported that fully 60 per cent o( the (Hctory milk producers Included In their tesln throughout the stale met grade A requirements except for housing. That Ik. much of the factory milk tented lor bac terial count was within the 80,000 bacteria per milliliter upper limit set by Oregon law lor grade A raw milk (or pasteurization. A total ol 171 Oregon farms were Included in the lest. , These statistics show that some dairymen are kept from producing grade A milk simply because of useless housing restrictions which call for expensive barns. Since there is some doubt as to where Oregon will get the fluid milk to supply Its Increasing population In future years, the OSC results may prove important to the dairy industry. More production per cow is still practical housing rcgualuons coin' pined with use o( cheaper, more ellcicnl types o( housing (or dairy herds also are Important. Agricultural engineers at OSC recommand a pole frame loafing shed and a milk parlor as an el llcicnl dairy housing setup. There Is evidence that this type ol con struction can be had (or less than half the cost ol some o( the large, modern barns. Art-Metal Office Equipment Costa No More Own The Best.
