Weather Aids In Fattening Cattle Tests show that cattle gain con siderably faster when kept cool. University of California and USD A researchers say cattle kept in wire corrals will gain faster than those kept in wooden pens, this is be cause wire fences do not radiate as much heat and have a greater air circulation. At the University's Imperial Val ley Field Station, the cooler cattle gained ne.nrlv a half nnunri- n n r day more than those kept in wood-1 o enclosure. 1 (2 v-'-; --ns V5 1 iM Wt2 SHADY SPOTS along the roads are welcome in the hot weather at the Lava Beds.

Farm Safety Week To Be Held July 20-26 Prevention of farm and home ac cidents which kill about 100 farm residents in Oregon each year will be stressed during national Farm Safety Week, July 20 to 26. The governor's committee on farm safety, representing public and private agencies and dedicat ed to make life safer in Ore gon, points out that farming takes more deaths from accidents than any other major industry. Home accidents take an even worse toll. Nearly 4,600 persons are injured in local home accidents each year. Carelessness in use of machin ery, drownings, misuse of fire arms, falls, electric currents, ani mals, insects and burns are cit ed as main accident causes. The governor's committee is ap pealing to local professional organ izations, such as vocational agri culture departments, the soil con servation service, county extension agents, stale forestry, welfare, and agriculture departments to adopt year-around safety programs. William C. Smith, director of farm programs, KOAC, Oregon State College, is chairman of lo cal farm safety week observances. Fowler says this method of sell ing is gaining rapidly in populari ty and is profitable to both buyers and sellers. Buyers are willing to nan imra for lamh fit SUctl SfllPR J since it reduces their expenses for "beating-the-brush" to find what they want, the ' specialist explains.
