Sudan May Be
Best Bet for
Late Crop
Sudan grass will be the "last
chance" pasture or .hay crop seed
ing possibility on . much land in
western Oregon where rains pre
vented planting of other crops
last fall and this spring, observes
E. R. Jackman, Oregon State col
lege extension specialist in farm
crops, who adds that seeding time
for Sudan grass will be about
June 1.
Although Sudan grass is not the
best forage crop, planting it may
prove insurance against possible
hay and pasture shortages later,
points out Jackman. As a hay
crop, Sudan grass compares well
with spring grain. As a pasture
crop it will not give nearly as
much feed "as alfalfa or red clo
ver, for example, but it will fur
nish green feed during the hot,
dry summer months.
Sadan Slow U Care
To make Sudan grass hay,
Jackman recommends that it be
cut when it is in full bloom.
Sudan hay will be slow to cure,
due to the high moisture content
of the stems. The hay is palat
able, although it will not equal
legume hay because of its lower
protein content. It does compare
favorably as hay with such
grains as rye and oats.
Sudan grass is not commonly
used for silage, since it matures
during the dry months, although j forcing to Turner to show off the

Dick Ward who was elected vice
president of the Oregon Polled
Hereford association when it was
formed at Salem three weeks ago,
made a strong addition to his herd
at Halsey when he bought from
the Bonelli Cattle company, Sau
gus, Calif., two daughters of the
$30,000 Trumode Domino 64th. In
the same transaction, Dick bought
two daughters of Advance Dom
ino 6th and two Domestic Mischief
daughters, all in calf to Domino
64th. Some of these cattle will be
seen at the autumn shows in Oregon.

on
Farmers Own
Much
Timber Land
Oregon's vast land owning "tim
ber barons" are very much fig
ments of overly vivid imaginations
because actual facts and figures do
not bear out the oft expressed be
lief that timber and trees are all
owned by "big business,'
Woodland owners in the state
number close to 45,000. Sixty
three per cent of Oregon's private
ly owned forest reserves are owned
by individuals with holdings of
less than 3,000 acres each.
Farmer owners of woodlands
play important roles in the timber
picture. In western Oregon, for
example, there is an average of
close to 40 acres of wood for each
farm. Many other small acreage
timber owners are local business
men, city workers living in the
country, and various other invest
ors. From the national standpoint
4,000,000 persons in the United
States own a piece of woodland

Swedish Government farms, from
Ugerup, Sweden, said while visit
ing Willamette valley farms this
week. The Swedish gentleman al
so added that there are three ex
periment stations devoted to prac
tice of plant breeding to obtain
new horticultural varieties and
there is a general use of potted
plants in Swedish homes.

Barn Feeding Reduced
Most of the Sudan grass crop
grown annually in western Ore
gon is used for pasture. It grows
vigorously during the normally
Towery greenhouses. T o w e r y
raises the young vegetable plants
for later outdoor planting and
some 25,000 cabbage plants have
already been set out as well as
several thousand Bermuda onion
plants.

Sudan grass is a hot weather

Spittle bugs usually make their
appearance early in the season on
strawberries. Spittle bugs are
yellowish to greenish insects which
conceal themselves in spittle mas

Together these small acreage tim
ber owners control 200,000,000
acres of forest. That is 60 per cent
of all the privately owned forest
land in this country.
Meanwhile, a change is taking
place in the minds of the small
forest property owners. Prior to
about 1940, few farmers, for in
stance, saw anything but a pasture
and wood reservoir in their wood
lots. They felt it did not pay to
try to sell small trees, and it took
two lifetimes to grow salable tim
ber. A sweeping change in view
point is now taking place, Charles
R. Ross observes, and present day
woodland owners are seeking in

fthey are talking, knowingly of
poles, sawlogs, pulpwood and fuel
markets. Ross is extension forester,
Oregon State college.
Future markets for woodland
products are bound to increase
with second growth timber be
coming more valuable as the re
sult of inroads on the stands of
old growth forests. The day when
farmers can receive an annual
"cash crop" from their woods is
not too far distant, Ross concludes.

Oregon Needs
More Cows to
Meet Demand
Urgent need for more dairy
cows on Oregon farms Is appar
ent In view of prospects for con
tinued population growth and the
fact that cow numbers show an
actual decline, declares H. P.
Ewalt, state college extension
dairyman.
In Oregon now there are ap
proximately 245,000 dairy ani
mals. Meanwhile, Ewalt points
out that as late as 1943 there
were 290,000 head. In the pre
war year, 1940, there were 262,
000 dairy cows on Oregon farms.
Fewer Heifers Listed
The extension dairyman states
there are now fewer cows in the
state than there have been any
time during the past 14 years.
There are also fewer yearling
heifers than at any time during
the same penod. This fact indi
cates that herd replacements are
going to be more difficult to ob
tain in the future, Ewalt states.
Along the same line he says dairy
calf numbers are low. In fact,
the calf population is lower now
than at any time since 1942.
Reasons for the decline in dairy 1
cow numbers are related to con
ditions brought about by the war,
including scarcity and high cost
of trained dairy workers. Ewalt
states that high prices for other
types of farm products such as
seeds and grains brought about
a shift from cows to other types
of agriculture. With feed costs
high, coupled with attractive
meat prices, more rigid culling of
low producing animals took place.
As a result of this culling, Ewalt
says the average production per
animal in the state has shown a
considerable jump, although there
are not enough of these better
animals to supply current milk
needs.
Save Calves
For the best interests of the
Oregon dairy industry, Ewalt
says dairymen need more than
ever to use good sires, to test
for production and to save more
rood calves as steps toward Hav
ing high producing, disease-free
herds two, three or four years
from now. Do not depend upon
other dairymen for replacements,
they might be using scrub bulls,
Ewalt advises.

has about 200.000 people in a 900-

than 800.000 people in the District
of Columbia crowd into 69 square
