PAGE EIGHTEEN Proper Handling of Alsike Straw Provides Beef Feed Each year thousands of teres of alsike clover straw Is burned or destroyed in the Klamath Basin. Farmers do not realize that alsike clover straw has considerable food value If properly handled. Tests run in the Tulelake area have shown that alsike clover straw can be used as a winter roughage lor beef cattle. Alsike clover straw taken from a Tulelake field showed 63 per cent protein and 1.7 per cent cruae liber. (The fiber content of a feed Is of much Importance in livestock feeding, for the higher the fiber Cheaper Feed Set For Turks Cheaner feed for Oregon turkey growers in 1953 was predicted oy W. A. Berge, roruarra, jeea man. atr of the Oregon Egg Producers, at the annual September meeting of the Oregon Turkey Improvement association at Oregon Stale college. Beree said 3 per crnt more feed per animal unit is in the Oregon picture ttr 13 with a decrease In feed prices of to i a ion from 1952 levels. Broad Breasted Bronte turkeys should be Oregon growers' best bet on the export mariei, according to a marketing panel conducted by Noel Bennion, Oregon Stale col. lege extension poultry specialist. Tne panel said Broad Breasted Bronte toms are in high demand . but it warned against production of Beltsvlllc Whites in excess of state needs. Production of Belts fryers and roasters has increased faster than local consumption, it was noted. More than 200 turkey growers at tended the one-day session to elect officers and to adopt resolutions. Association members voted to in crease the minimum width of Broad Breasted Bronx breeding flocks from 31? to 4 Inches under the Oregon Turkey Improvement program. Loren Johnson, Scappoose turkey breeder, was elected president of the association for the coming year. He succeeds Harold Davis of Mc-Minnville. COPCO Stock Goes On Sale A nation-wide syndicate Jointly headed by Blyth & Co., Inc. and the First Boston Corporation Is of fering publicly today 260,000 shares of common stock of the California Oregon Power Company at a price of 26.35 per share. Proceeds from the sale of the common stock, together with the proceeds from the proposed sale of 17,000.000 of first mortgage bonds, 1982 Series, which the com pany expects to offer at competi tive bidding later this month, will be used to refund 12. 000.000 of bank loans which the company ob tained to finance its current con struction program. Such adltional net funds the company may re ceive will be used to reimburse the treasury for income expended for plant additions. The California Oregon Power Company ts an operating public utility incorporated under the laws of the 6tate of California. Its prin cipal offices are in Medford. Ore gon. The company Is engaged in the production, transmission, dis tribution and sale of electricity in the southern part of Oregon and the northern Part of California. Due to a continuing increase In the business activities an popula tion in the area served by the com pany, there has been an increase In sales to residential and indus trial customers and a reduction in sales of electric energy at whole sale. This necessitated a large con struction program, which Includes the expansion and development of the hydroelectric potential of the upper Umpqua River and Its trib utaries In Douglas County, Ore gon. The plan covers the construc tion of eight hydro plants in the north Umpqua pro'eci area, five of which are on that river and three on tributaries in the im mediate vicinity. content the less digestible and therefore the less nutrients a feed contains.) Although this indicates that alsike clover straw Is not as good roughage as alfalfa. If It is properly balanced with a protein it does an excellent joo oi over wintering feeders and brood sows. One Tulelake farmer has over wintered 60 head of registered Here ford cows on a mixture of clover straw and alfalfa hay. The cows calved out in tne spring and were put on summer range where they gained satisfactorily. One precaution the stockman should make in feeding clover straw is to try to feed straw that has not been defoliated with high rates of oils. No injurious results have been reported by feeding tne clover straw where It has ueen defoliated with 10 gallons of oil and 1 quart of dinitro. It Is ad visable to feed clover straw that has not been treated with oil but many stockmen nave reported sal' isfactory results feeding defoliated straw. A suggested ration to beef cattle would be clover straw, barley and beet pulp. Some good Quality al falfa hay should be fed with the straw to Insure a source of vitamin A and to increase the protein sup ply slightly. Farmers are urged to ball the clean fields of alsike clover and to use the hay as a supplement! feed. Further information can be obtained at the Tulelake Farm Ad' visor's Office. Bark Wastes' Value Seen Importing of about 70 per cent of this country's tannin require ments and the major portion oi its natural wax needs may be un necessary if the supplies which oc cur in bark wastes of several Ore gon trees are tapped. According to Dr. E. F. Kurth. chief of chemical research at the Oregon Forest Products laboratory these useful products rjave beer found In commercial abundance in ponderosa pine and Douglas-fir oarx. Tannin from these sources com pares favorably with quebracho tannin, substantially an Argentine monopoly, for major (Industrial uses such as leather manufacture and control of viscosity of oil-well drilling muds. Dr. Kurth said. Utilization of the large volume of bark residues from lumbering and duId wood operations would call for Installation of modern bark handling equipment. This would represent a long, step to wards the establishment of Indus trial wood utilisation centers, us ing bark, slabs, chips, sawdust and other mill wastes, laboratory oi ficials point out. Waxes obtained from tree-bark sources, especially Douglas-fir, can be modified for a variety of house hold and industrial uses, ine wax is. bv nature, harder than bees wax but not as hard as carnauba wax. By chemical treatment, how ever, certain of its properties can be made superior to tnose of car nauba. Dr. Kurth first began Investigat ing Douglas-fir bark in 1947. Since then he has'ulso concentrated ef. forts on other barks. Including pon derosa pine, sugar pine, lodge pole pine. Jeffrey pine, white fir, grand fir and red alder. White fir and ponderosa pine bark yield products similar to those from Douglas-fir bark. Cedar bark, according to preliminary labora tory research, contain oleoresins such as are obtained from pine trees. Chemical research at the forest laboratory, which Is located on tne Oregon State college campus, has unfolded new sources of valuable products for better living with escb series of waste bark products.
