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

Broad Breasted Bronte turkeys

to a marketing panel conducted
by Noel Bennion, Oregon Stale col.

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

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

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.
