Finding Cost of Beef Production In Oregon Preliminary work of securing data on the exact cost of producing beef in Oregon has been begun by the Animal Husbandary department of the Agri cultural College in concurrence with the resolution adopted by the Oregon Cattle and Horse Growers Associa tion which met at Baker City, May 1. This preliminary investigation was taken up by Professor E. L. Potter, head of the Animal Husbandry depart ment, on a recent inspection visit to the Eastern Oregon Branch Experi ment Station at Union. While in vestigations were of necessity very much limited enough has already been i done, according to Professor Potter, to indicate favorable outcome of the When it Conies to Something for Wear You'll find the very thing you wanted the most at Store for less the United Buying for 12") Big Busy J.

La Grande Pharmacy ADOLPH NEWLIN, Manager Quick Delivery Phone Main 40 La Grande, Oregon investigations, and he expects to be able to make a report of progress at the next meeting of the Oregon Stockmen's Association which will be held in La Grande. "This investigation will naturally proceed along two different though related lints," said Professor Potter. "One of these will bf,- the experimental feeding at the Sta'-ion, and the other the actual cost of breeding, feeding and managing cattle on the farm for the livestock market. Although meth- !ods and cost will vary greatly among different farmers, yet by taking a suf ficiently large number of representa tive stockmen and averaging the re- i suits, it ought to be possible to ar rive at a fair estimate of the actual cost of producing beef. "An important factor in the cost of producing beef is the carrying capac ity of the ranges. On this subject I have been able to get some very def inite information. The figures are available to show beyond question that the carrying power of the ranges is J vastly increased when properly enn j trolled. Fencing is the most efficient j moans of control and even here the methods of fencing have a good deal to do with the efficiency of range management. "Reports show that on one 10,000 acre range under fence eleven-hundred head of cattle were kept.
