COUNTY AGENT'S REPORTS lated. Figures On Cattle Tlie numuer of cuttle In Oregon increased from 702,841 in 1930 to IK , on Jantiuo 1, 1JKJ5. This is uu increase of more Hutu 2oo,uuu heud. Too general tendency at this time is lotsuids increased numbers or sheep iu the lulled Htulea, al though at the present time there are enough in the uution to take cute of tne needs. Sheep in Oregon have decreased during the five year period, lyU Mf'.iit init there still are nearly one- tiulf nnilion more tiiuu in 1125. The present situation regarding hogs la that Uie production Is tne smallest tout it lias been lit 5U years, due to the drouth and the production control program. With the removal of the production pro gram and while prices for pork are nigh, it Is logical to expect thai, theru will be a rather rapid in crease in numbers. This is espe cially true In the corn belt. Kor the next two or three years, production in tne western states likely will not increase as rapidly because ol the suortage of breeding stock. 'I he number or hogs iu Oregon decreased nearly loi),UUU head dur ing the last few years. Horses buve decreased through out tnu country since 11)20 from 3(,UOU,UOO to I2,00,0W head.

It Is be lieved that possibilities exist for the development of l.rtgatlon in Uouglus county as a moans of en abling an increase in forage pro duction. It is a sound policy for Douglas county livestock producers to in crease pastures and forage so they can fatten feeder lambs instead of shipping them out of the county for finishing, thereby making it possible for the stockmen to real ize a greater return from their lanihu. In view of the fact that an im provement of pasture Is necessary to the future livestock production in this county, the county agent is urged to establish grass nurseries on representative soil types of the county where a variety of different grasses will be demonstrated to the farmers, showing the best grasses for the various soils and areas of the county. These nurseries should be established in districts easily reached, thus serving the largest possible number of farmers. Pure Bred Sires Best The use of good purebred breed ing stock as a incaus of lucreawug the profit from livestock in the county Is pu (amount. Cattle Embargo Threatened At present a bill Is In congress which would remove the embargo on beef from Argentina. Removal of such embargo will handicap the stockmen of this county. Hoof and mouth disease Is prevalent In Ar gentina and the importation of fresh beef will endanger the herds of the United Status. U is recom menued tnureforo, tnut a resolution bo sent to all tne Oregon dele gates in congress protesting tne euiuvul of tins embargo. Where suitable reeds are avail able for fiutemng cuttle, Douglas county farmera are urged to con snter the possibility ol marketing sucn feed tbrougn steers. Uni good quality cattle should be useu lor this purpose, ciiief.il buying ot cattle being exercised because the success of the venture trequentiy depends on that point.
