Fertilizer
Sales Gain
Stronghold
Oregon farmers bought almost
4.000 tons more of fertilizers in the
first three months of 1959 than in
the same period last year, accord
ing to the inspection fee reports
made to the State Department of
Agriculture. The figures: 61,681 vs.
17.700 tons.
Sales of agricultural limes
elimbed, too, from 17,408 tons a
year ago to 28.791 tons in the first
three months of this year.
But farmers didn't use as many
agricultural minerals, which in
clude gypsum, borax and soil sul
phurs. Tonnage reported sold 'the
Iirsl quarter this year was 4,939
last year, 6,702 tons.
Package Tour
Is Easier
NEW YORK (UPI) "Pack
4e" tours can help make your
"dream trip" come true.
Worked out by experienced
tour operators, these Murs assume
for the traveler the problem ol
how to get from air or train ter
minal to hotel. They- have a local
representative at each stop to as
sist with any problems and they
carefully plan a sightseeing pro
gram that will utilize' available
time to the fullest. Another fea
ture: You pay in advance. This
eliminates doling out money along
the way.
- You can select a package tour
to lit not only the time you have,
the price you want to pay, the
place you want to visit, but al
most any hobby you want to pur
sue.
Another variation is possible in
the choice ot traveling compan
ions. Some prefer to travel in a
group, accompanied by an . expe
rienced guide to take care of de
tails. Another type of escorted
tour is one in which the group
gets a guide for each city, but
travels to the different cities on
its own.
Independent package tours also
are available for those who pre
fer to travel alone, or with ft lends
or family.
Treated Barley Shows Promise As Swine Feed
Prospects that Oregon's bulging Station
barley supplies may be converted
into more suitable feed for swine
are reported by the Oregon State
College Agricultural Experiment
DEFINITION
HARTFORD. Conn. (UPI) Dr.
C. F. Yeaher, medical director at
Remington Arms, defines an alco
holic this way: "When a person
stops bragging about how much he
can drink, and starts lying about
how little he s drinking he s an
alcoholic.
Special treatment to break down
hard-to-digest barley fiber looks
promising as OSC scientists seek
ways to parlay local feeds into,
meat supplies for expanding West
Coast markets.
Oregon ships in about 70 per cent
of its pork needs, and hog prices
in Oregon are usually among the
highest in the nation.
Preliminary findings by OSC re-
searchers indicate that a comhina
jtion of malt-enzyme treatment and
t dieting may overcome main short-
Icomings of barley for hog feed.
Barley soaked in water, then
treated with small amounts of malt,
boosted hog gains 1-10 pound daily
over hogs fed straight ground bar
ley, report J. E. Oldfield. OSC
animal nutritionist, and L. M. Lar
sen, research assistant. "Soaking,"
alone, gave no benefits as U had
in earlier poultry nutrition trials.
Malt provides additional enzymes
in the hog's stomach to help digest
fiber. Malting added only $1.50 a
ton to feed costs in the OSC study
where malt comprised 2.5 per cent
of the total feed weight.
Next step is to test a combina
tion of malting and pelleting bar
ley to learn if the steam treat
ment in pelleting will replace soak
ing for breaking down barley fiber.
Soaking barley commercially would
be costly, requiring large vats and
drying equipment.
Pelleting barley, even without
the malt treatment, increased gains
more than 1-10 pound daily.
The combination treatment will
also be watched closely by Oregon
barley growers who last year har
vested 20 million bushels com
pared to a 10-year state average of
13 million bushels.
Car Laundry
Business Up
WASHINGTON (UPP Way
eack when, there was Henry Ford
and his horseless carriage.
Henry had to wash his car by
hand. Then he had to wax it by
hand. And, for a long time, so did
everybody else.
But then a bright-eyed "don't
do it -yourself" type came along
with the car laundry. Today, you
can get even the most elongated,
chromeplated, low-slung, tail
finned car scrubbed clean in three
minutes at a'lto laundries. There
are 3.000 of them in the U.S.
And now: automation has en
tered the auto waxing field.
The first, and so far the only
quick-shine emporium in the piston-driven
world is open for busi
ness in Washington. D.C. Its
name: "Minute Man Simonizers." i
It takes four men. some auto
matic buffers and 60 minutes to
shine the auto if you own one ot
the big luxury jobs. The medium
and low-priced models are done in
43 to M minutes. Those small for
eign buKUies come out glistening
in about 40 minutes.
Prices range accordingly, from
$15 for the big ones to 4 for the
sports models.
The owner of the wax works
a chunky, bustling man by the
name of Mike Chidakel Isn t dis
turbed by the so-called "perman
ent" finishes on new cars. Since
opening six months ago. he claims
to be doing a big business with
the '51 and '59 models.
Business is booming, says Chi
dakel. so you can bet you'll be
able to drive your car into a 60
aiinute wax works in your area
pretty soon.
