Turkeys Heed
Shade, Water
The recent not spell has caused
some heavy losses In turkeys, re
ports Noel Bennlon, extension poul
try specialist at Oregon Btate col
lege. 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.

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.

Agricultural engineers at OSC
recommand a pole frame loafing

Is evidence that this type ol con
struction can be had (or less than
half the cost ol some o( the large,
