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. This
bus been responsible In a large
measure for tne surplus of feed in

CROP NEWS
Douglas County Pointed Out
livestock now on hand. 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. This enter
