Fairs this fall will take a major place in the Interest as . they are being revived after several years of war. Visitors to fairs' will come from many points. Oregon in par ticular Will have an opportunity to show its livestock wares. Western Washington has already gone into a huddle to plan to show the best livestock in its history. Joe Muir. extension animal hus bandman at the State College of Washington, has given out advice on now to accomplish this. Our own college men are giving ad vice similarly, but it might be well to look over, what the competitors will do. Says Muir: One of the most usual sights at county fair is a calf, cow or bull charging down the chute with three men on the end of the halter rope. If it is brdught to a stop, the owner is either afraid to lead it in the show ring or is told to keep the animal tied for reasons of aafety for the crowd. Then, too, these animals usu ally have a shaggy coat of hair, bare ribs and instut on standing more on their heads than feet. There is still time to get these ani mals ready for the shows. Plenty of feed helps in gentling an animal and demonstrating in herent feeding ability.. The next step i finding or taking the time to train the animal to lead, to stand quitely and permit strangers to handle without kicking. Added suggestions of Muir in clude: Plan the feeding ration and allow time for conditioning at least six months ahead. Train the animal to lead as young as pos sible. Brush the animal every day. use a curry comb and brush. Train the animal to stand quietly while held by a hatter. Bring some friends around to see your cattle. Study rules and regulations in the premium lists carefully. When you arrive at the show, be courteous and answer questions of Interested, and even seeminglv supid, spectators. When the show starts, be prompt. And no matter who the judge, don't complain at where you are placed. Bethel Family Hears From Daughter in Fast . BETHEL. Mr. and Mrs. A. L.

Wheat Crop to Be Reduced A production goal for Oregon of one: million acre of wheat seeded for harvest in 1947 has been an nounced by E. Harvey Miller, state director of production and marketing administration. The goal was approved by the secre tary of agriculture on the recom mendations of the Oregon USDA council and the state production adjustment committee. The 1947 state goal is almost 8 per cent less than the 1,081,000 planted this year, but still one per cent more than the 1937-41 aver age of 992.000 acres. Nationally the farmers are asked to plant one per cent more than this year. In setting the state goal, the world food situation and the pres ent low level of food supplies were weighed against land tise and oth er considerations. Miller said. One million acres is the maximum pos sible acreage while maintaining summer fallow and without plant ing wheat on land to which it is not suited or which should be kept in grass, he pointed out. MORE COLUMBIA EWES Marcus Vetter of Monitor, who has been elected president of the newly formed Willamette Valley Columbia Sheep Breeders associa tion, announces that ho has pur chased for fall delivery. 52 heed of purebred Columbia ewes from ine famous rj-nest Alsike Clover Draws Bonus Tliis Season The U. S. department of agri culture is asking the farmers for 32 per cent more seed of alike clover than was harvested in 145. ia Louie H. Gross. Yamhill county agent. Tuesday. Gross said that this request is of particular interest in Oregon because this state produces 20 per cent or more of the national supply. Yamhill county harvested about 100 acres in 1945 and produced 10.000 pounds of alsike seed. While more acres can not be provided tbU year than there are already, dross advised cutting every acre of al- ixe clover for seed that will nro- duce seed. Provide at least a hive of bees for every acre of alsike. more bees are better, says Gross. To aid growers in harvesting every possible acre, the govern ment la paying a bonus of 7 cents per pound for alsike seed on small acreages. Manning Clan Reunion Held At Ghanipoeg ST.
