Livestock pastured in tree plantings can severly damage or destroy the trees. zXnd beside: there's often littl • feed value in trass in tree plantings. I You . . . probably have fire insurance on your home. But ...at today's increased values ... are you sure you have enough protection? Milking cows without a profit ; is not the goal of Oregon dairy men but it seems that some are doing it. The average production per cow in Oregon of 6000 pounds of milk compared to 8500 pounds annual production for DHIA cows is proof that there are many cows being fed and milked for a very low income says Don Coin Walrod, county extension agent. One-fourth of the cows being milked add to the surplus dairy products problem and make no money for the owner. There is ample proof that in many herds thes- low producers are given feed that if added to the feed of the rest of the herd would provide more net return with less labor. Only one out of six cows milk ed in Oregon is production tested at present. Production testing is the key to greater profits through records making it possible to do a better job of feeding, culling, breeding and general manage ment. Dinner Planned At Birkenfeld A community Thanksgiving din ner is planned for the Winema Grange hall at Birkenfeld, Wed nesday evening, November 27. Plans are being made by the Sunday schools at Bn kenfeld and Jewell and will include the com munities of Elsie, Vine Maple, Jewell and Birkenfeld. However, anyone else who wishes to join with them is welcome to do so. The evening will begin with the potluck dinner at 6:30 pm. which is planned to be an old- fashioned Thanksgiving dinner. This will be followed by a pro gram using all local talent and a Thanksgiving message by Rev. Evern Harshman. Most of the churches in the valley are par ticipating in the affair. Did you ever turn on the elec tric stove and have the radio slowly turn red, while music started coming from your refrig erator? Or plug in the toaster and have the oven door light up with "I Love Lucy?” Of course not—because elec tricity is dependable. If wiring and appliances are in good, safe condition, we will get the result we expect when we snap a switch, plug in an appliance, or turn on a motor. There are danger signs to heed and precautions to take if elec tricity is to continue being a safe dependable servant. A spark or flash occurring where it shouldn't is a warning of trouble that should be investigated immedi ately. as it might start a serious fire if the cause isn’t remedied. The first tingle of shock that you feel when a switch is turned on or appliance is touched is an other serious Hvarning to heed— because the second shock could make you feel like the roof caved in! A shock is usually an indica tion that a '•hpt” wire has be come ground d or is touching th.- frame of the device or appliance. Further, it is a condition that will grow worse rather than ini- I prove. Appliances such as washing machines, water heat '-rs and stoves should be properly ground ed. Portable electric tools used in garages or basements should also be ground ?d. Everyone knows the potentia’ danger of frayed exten on and lamp cords. Overloading circuits j lowers the voltage and may cause fire if proper-sized fuses are not used. Where electricity causes injury or fire, don’t blame the electricity; blame the person wh.i forgot, overlooked or failed to heed a significant warning. Electricity provides many com forts and conveniences. Thanks partly to its pow?r, former luxu ries are now necessities. In or der to continue enjoying these benefits heed all warnings and observe all precautions. Let smoke curl from the chimney of your home rather than from be tween your walls. By being careless, you may find electricity lighting up your eyes and ears instead of your tools and appli ances—which would be a painful and not too efficient result! Treat electricity with respect— it is an excellent servant but a totally heartless master. Always remember that electricity can't think—but you can!
