NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON MONDAY, AUGUST 23, 1948 NINE Devices Battle Sagebrush To Restore Pasture LA REVIEW, Ore., Aug. 20 (.Tl The Hidden of the Purple Safje went to work here yesterday and rancheri from seven western states applauded. They used lire, machine and chemicals in demonstrating to more than 400 ranchers how to destroy sagebrush that has taken over once-fertile grasslands. Then the demonstrators range experts and Forest Service offi cials explained how to replant with hardy perennial grasses to make the land support lour to ten times as many cattle. This demonstration, sponsored by the Lakeview Rotary Club, was the opening of a v ar on the purple sage. Thousands of west erns acres are expected 'o be re claimed as a result. Ranchers from Colorado, I'tah, Idaho, Nevada, Washington, Cali fornia and Oregon watched as the Forest Service men demonstrat ed the result of years of experi ments. Destruction by fire was the most spectacular. A flame-thrower was turned on the sagebrush, which burst Into a ball of fire, and left nothing but a pillar of smoke. There also was a big, specially designed brushland plow, the only one of its kind. It will be taken to Forest Service shops at Boise to become the model for ten other machines Mature Revival Sought Most of the ranchers attending came from land similar to the rolling sagebrush hills around here. Once it was lush with grass. Overgrazing and droughts doomed It, and sagebrush moved in from the rim-rock and washes. With sagebrush established, the land could produce only enough grass to keep one steer alive on 20 acres. Keseeded, the same 20 acres could support four to ten cattle, range experts said. The Rolary Club her not only sponsored the demonstration, but will conduct a five-year contest among Lake County ranchers to encourage destruction of sage brush. The Fremont National Forest, which already has reclaimed 2000 sagebrush acres, intends to re claim another 2000 ac-es soon. Foresters said more than 104.000 acres could be cleared In this for est preserve alone.

Oregon's Poultry Outlook Bright, Cockell Reports Outlook for the Oregon poul try industry Is good over the long-time pull, especially since the state has swung from a large exporting to an Importing area within recent years. This prediction was made by Fred Cockell, poultry representa tive on the slate department of agriculture, before 150 persons attending the annual meeting of the Oregon Poultry Improve ment association In Corvallis early this month. The program featured labor saving devices, flock improve ment program, fertility in breed ing flocks, trends in poultry pro duction, report of the National Poultry Improvement Plan con ference and the regular -association business meeting. G. T. Klein, Massachusetts ex tension poultryman, was a feat ured speaker on the program. His topics included labor saving e vices and breeding for meat and egg production. Klein's sugges tions for labor saving included: brooding chicks in larger units, radiant heat and hot water brood ing systems, feeding scratch grains and pellet on the ground from a truck while the birds are on range, larger laying houses with larger pens and more birds per unit, and mechanical equip ment for unloading feed, feeding and poultry house cleaning. About 65 were authorized as of- i ficial pullorum testing and flock selecting agents under the Oregon Poultry Improvement program as a result of tests which closed a two-day school following the association meeting. Oflicers elected by the Poultry Improvement organization for next year were Ir. C. E. Holmes. Milwaukie. president and Noel Benmon, O.-S.C. extension poul tryman, secretary-treasurer. Re elected directors are Lloyd A. Lee, Salem: V. A. Parker. Blarh ly: and William Tennis, Mr-Minn-ville. New directors are (n'orge Gilmore, Junction City; G. A. Boyington, Hood River; and Don Anchors, Grants Pass.
