SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 6. 1955 HERALD AND NEWS KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE SEVEN Spud Growers Get Reminder The state department of agricul ture reminds potato growers that their operations must conform to the new Oregon potato law. Main Items for growers to keep In mind, says Frank McKennon, plant divi sion chief, are: 1. Growers may sell potatoes from the field where grown to any one without label or Inspection. 2. No label, Inspection or per mit is required when potatoes are moved from the field where grown up to 90 miles away if they are going to a livestock feeder or for storage and grading. This may in clude in transit stops for storage purposes. 3. Growers may move potatoes to a procesing plant without in spection or labeling If they obtain a permit from the department. 4. Potatoes moved more than 50 miles from the field for livestock feeding, storage or grading may go under permit without Inspection or labeling. f. If moved for purposes other than above outlined, growers must label with name and address, grade and net eight. If moved for sale in lots of one ton or more, the potatoes must be inspected by the state. . If potatoes, fail to meet any grade established by the depart ment they must be labeled culls in bold-face letters at least 3 Inches high. ' Permits are available through federal-state shipping point offices and Inspectors over the state. Mas ter permits cost II (the law per mits a fee up to $2) and single load permits cost 20 cents each. Permit monies, beyond costs, will be applied toward enforcement of transportation features of the po tato law. The potato law also places def inite responsibilities upon dealers, handlers and retailers. Copies of the law may be obtained from the department. i i i .

THE FRAMEWORK FOR THE ALERT HANGAR at the Klamath Falls jet interceptor, bate it being built on the north end of the airport. This special heated hangar is the standard type built at all jet interceptor bases. It houses two jet interceptor type aircraft in each side, with the quarters for flight and maintenance crews in the middle section. .The pilots and ground alert crews will be on duty in the hangar 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The front of the building faces on the alert taxiway, which leads to the main runway. When an alert is sound ed the plans designated for flight must be in the air in a maximum of five minutes or the crews must report their reason' for delay to the commander, Continental Air Defense Command. The hangar, of steel framework construction, is being built by the Donald Drake Co., Portland. Photo by Kettler Digestible Sawdust Makes Atomic Energy Appearance Digestible sswduit as an "en-i ergy" tood Is one of the newest peacetime possibilities of atomic energy. But don't look for It on your grocer's shelves. If and when commercial Irradi ation of sawdust is possible, It will be for the double-duty diges tive system of the cow. Oregon agricultural and forestry scientists, sparked by the possi bility of moving the state's piles of Douglas fir sawdust into live stock feed racks, conducted trials with funds from the Oregon For est Products laboratory. Tests were under the direction of L. F. Remmert, Oregon State College agricultural chemist. Sawdust is roughly 60 per cent carbohydrate most of it In the in' digestible form of cellulose oi crude fiber. Normally, even a cow's digestive juices can't break down much wood cellulose Into usable energy sugars. Bombardment of the cellulose with atomic rays, the scientists reasoned, might split the carbohy drate into smaller units which could be more readily attacked and made soluble by stomach or rumen fluids. Sawdust sealed In (in cans was exposed to high-level gamma ray Irradiation at the AEC materials testing reactor at Arco, Idaho. And polyethylene bags of sawdust went into Oeneral Electric Company's electron-beam generator at Mil waukee, Wisconsin, for irradiation by less penetrating but faster working beta rays. The results: rumen fluids were able to change Into soluble form one-fourth to one-third of the gam ma treated carbohydrates and about two-thirds of beta treated carbohydra. Actually, all digestive tests were conducted with an artificial "stom ach" or test tube containing ru men Juices extracted from ani mals, since not enough sawdust could be Irradiated in initial trials for livestock feeding trials. Although the sawdust does not become radioactive. Dr. Remmert saya further tests Ire needed to learn If materials are formed dur ing Irradiation that' might be tox ic to animals or to rumen microorganisms. But the big question is "cost.1 Even with cheap sawdust and pros pects for growing: supplies of wast radioisotopes In the near future, the physical problems of bringing th turn trtfrattiM tnli-Kt ftvina a.W.. dust off bossy's menu.
