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.

POST OFFICE SMOKES
LOUISVILLE, Ky. ifi Smoke
was pouring out of the post office
yesterday, but it wasn't from
scorching love letters.
A trash fire In the basement
sent billows of smoke to the first
floor, but no damage was done.
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.

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
