Feeding More Pleasant Here
By ULUE L. MADSEN
Farm Editor, The Statesman
ZENA Around 275 beef cattle were lined up the whole way
around the long feed racks. Another 25 to 30 were munching their
feed out on the hillside to the southwest It was late January, the
sun was shining warmly, and it was feeding time at the K. W. Note
boom ranch, five miles north of Salem. ;
"It's easier than it used to be in North Dakota, isn't it?" J asked,
recalling that Mr. Noteboom had told me that he and his family had
come from Norh Dakota five years ago. He had fed cattle and sheep
there up to as many as 2,250 sheep in a year.
"I wouldn't say that the feeding is any easier here. Feeding in
the cold winters isn't difficult!
In. fact it's quite simple on the
bard frozen ground and snow. But
this is more pleasant It was
really your schools that brought
os here. We find living here is
more pleasant," I was told.
Six Youngsters in Six Schools
"We have six youngsters and it
was getting college time for the
older ones. We have the six in
six different schools now. Isn't
that some kind of a record? I
certainly think this consolidation
with Salem schools is wonderful

.we wouldn't have our own com
munity any more. That isn't so.
We have a lot of fun at our farm
organizations," Mr. Noteboom
continued. ,
"Our oldest son, Bob, a grad
uate of Oregon State, is now in
Germany where he is attending
some classes. Bill's a senior in
college nowv Ken is in Salem
High, and Barbara is a sophomore
in South Salem. Jimmy is in the
sixth grade in Lincoln, and Judy
is in the third grade in Zena."
Then we got back to feeding
and the new pole shed where the
275 cattle were eating.
"There are 11,000 square feet

cattle, but we are keeping - the
breeding stock out there on the
hillside by the other barns," the
cattleman continued.
Boy From Fanners
"All the stockers are bought
from farmers in the valley. I
haven't been buying any out of
the stockyards, yet Try to get
mem around oo pounds., and try
to finish them off at around 1,000,
and don't aim to keep them more
than around a year," Mr. Note
boom replied to a question.
"And do you buy them all at
once?" I pursued.
"NoJJuy them when I can get
themfand I buy them at different
weights, usually," he explained.
"I get some 900-pound steers for

cannery corn for eight weeks
took that long to get 1,500 tons.
We had to stand in line, and some
times the cannery was out before
. our turn came and then we had to
come back. i
Raise Own Hay
"We raise our own hay. There
are 260 acres in this farm, and
we rent 120 more. Some of that
is planted to pasture and some is
planted to grass for silage, and
some is in alfalfa. We are irri
gating part of the land now. That
will furnish us more feed."
"When do you turn off the
cattle?" I wanted to know.
"When they are ready. We aim
at Good grade. It doesn't pay us
to make Prime. When you figure
the extra cost of feed needed to
bring Good up to Prime, and that
you don't ever get every animal
up on that feed, you actually
make more money at Good. We
tried an experiment on 10 cows,
feeding them cannery corn and
concentrates to finish them off.
We tried giving from 1 to 9
. pounds of grain. They seemed to
do best on a two-pound average.
Out of the 10, two graded prime"
"No, cattle feeding isn't as good
as it was a few years ago, but
with careful buying, careful feed

By that time we had left the
pole shed and wandered over to

Grass, Legume
Seed Outlook
Here's the latest about grass
and legume seed prices:
Every country of the world ex
cepting the U. S. and Canada had
short production of forage crop
seeds this past summer. We are
exporting at a tremendous rate
and prices of certain items have
advanced sharply since harvest
Annuals, biennials and snort
lived perennials will be in ex
ceedingly short supply, the world
over, this coming year.
Perennial ryegrass is now sell
ing at about 30 cents a pound
FOB Oregon, or 3 cents above the
present price of chewings fescue.
The commodity credits supply of
alsike clover, red clover, bought
at distress prices or taken over
on unpaid loans, has disappeared.
Alfalfa and crimson clover seed
supplies have almost disappeared.
Alta fescue and ladino clover sup
plies have almost disappeared.
Alta fescue and ladino clover
supplies held by the government
have been greatly reduced.
Red clover seed is selling at
about 60 cents FOB Oregon.
"This is a terrific price "'Ray
Teal, marketing economist, Ore
gon State college, points out as
he adds that "Because of the
high price of red clover seed,
midwest growers may substitute
alfalfa for planting this spring
and save more red clover for seed
next summer."
1 Chewings fescue seed is lagging
at between 26 and 27 cents FOB
Oregon. That means cleaned, sack
ed and "on board the car." seed
packages may substitute more
chewing for perennial ryegrass,
but U. S. bluegrass harvest esti
mates are up from 13.5 million
pounds in November to 19.5 mil
lion the first of January. Every
body has an eye cocked toward
the large Canadian crop of creep
ing red. This means that the trade
has mixed feeling toward fine fes
cue prices. ,
j Alta Swings Back
! And now it looks like the
growers who have stayed with alta
fescue through adverse years are
in mighty fine position. For a
time southern erassmen turned
from the tall fescues. "Not pal
atable enough," they said. Then
came the drouth of the past two
years. Tall fescues remained
green while - others became dor
mant or sickened and died. Now
the swing is back toward alta.
Kentucky and Tennessee tall
fescue seed crops have been short
because of dry weather and be
sides many growers were short o
feed and used their fields for
forage instead of seed. Germina-

Questions -
Question Understand that one
has to have a birth certificate to
qualify for Social Security bene
fits, and that one can get these
from the cansus bureau. Can you
tell us how much this costs?
F.T.O.
Answer - You have to have
some means of officially proving
your age. You cannot get birth
certificates from the U. S. Bu
reau of Census, but during the
past decade the census bureau has
been furnishing transcripts oi
pesonal census records, and these
have been used lojettung estates,
insurance cases and in qualifying
for Social Security benefits.
As federal funds are not ap
propriated for this service, a fee
of $3 is charged for searches of
two censuses for one individual.
given routine handling. You can
hurry up the handling by send
ing $4. Routine handling usually
requires from four to six weeks,
while frequently the other can be
accomplished in two weeks. This
can be obtained only by written
request of the individual to whom
it relates, or his legal representa
tive. Application blanks for this
may be obtained from the Bu
reau of Census, Washington, D.C.
.
Question Hear a lot about
tion of seed long in storage, may
also affect the situation. We still
have a carryover of the tall fes
cues, including alta, but the sur
plus is dwindling. Prices may
strengthen by this fall and by
another year we could have a very
satisfactory price situation.
Grab Supplies
The tin to prospective growers
is to grab the small supplies of
foundation alta seed while there
is some to grab. New plantings
will be certified on a regenera
tion basis. Meaning that the
grower who plants with certifica
tion in mind must plant founda
tion or registered seed from now
ou, the supply of foundation seed
is Quite limited.
And anyway you look at it. pro
duction is down, use is up and
the supply is dwindling in all
but chewings fescue.
Word has it that the cornbelt
is finding new use for ladino as
green manure rotation crop
with corn. Iowa farm scientists re
port that during two years of
favorable moisture, corn yields
following ladino turned under,
were higher than corn yields fol
lowing other common legumes.
Yields after ladino were higher
than yields from corn receiving
51 pounds of nitrogen per acre.
Alfalfa and sweet clover were
previously considered the key le
gumes in corn rotations.
Oregon farmers harvested only
1,600 acres of ladino seed in 1954
to a peak of 26,000 acres in 1951.
National acreage last year was
only 16,000. , .

feeding moUsses to livestock.
What is supposed ot be the val
ue? N.E.C..
Answer It has a large amount
of readily available energy. In
limited amounts it may replace
such grains as barley pound for
pound. Frequently it is fed sheep
at lambing time.
.
Question We have a cat which,
we didn't know better, we'd
say had hay fever. Her eyes are
red and sore looking and she con
tinues to sneeze. She gets better
and then repeats. It is a valuable
cat and we'd like to cure it. Could
you suggest any remedy? A.K.
Answer A cat is subject to
hay fever and that is likely what
is ailing yours. Am told by a cat
expert to mix 20 grains of cal
cium gluconate in 2 ounces of
elixir lactate pepsin, shake well,
and add 10 drops to the milk or
feed every other day. Feed the
cat mostly raw beef for a time.
Question Have you any record
of harm to sheep from using
phenothiazine? Does it lose it ef
fectiveness in a few years? New
Farmer. '
Answer Some of the county
extension agents have been car
rying on an experiment with
phenothiazine as a control for in
ternal parasites in sheep, and
these report that the test has run
for 12 years. The phenothiazine
has been mixed at one part to
nine of salt and left on a free
choice basis for the sheep. The
tests show that the sheep are en
tirely free from most of the in
ternal parasites that bothered
them and that the lamb chops
have unproved. There seems to be
no ill effects. Thirty sheep will
consume about 10 pounds of the
mixture one pound of phenothi
azine and nine of salt a month.

Wool Support
Takes on New
1955 Look'
A new method will be used this
year to guarantee a support price
to wool growers.
Congress, in 1954, passed , a
new wool law with the object of
encouraging wool growers to in
crease production of wool to
reach a goal of 300 million
pounds a year in the United
States, wool was considered an
essential and strategic commodi
ty not produced in the U. S. in
sufficient quantity to meet do
mestic needs.
Production has declined about
40 per cent in the past few years
and is now only about 230 mil
lion pounds annually.
A support price of 62 cents a
pound (grease basis) was deter
mined by Congress to be neces
sary as an incentive to bring
about the desired increase 1 in
production. This is 106 per cent
ot the wool parity price as of
Sept. 15, 1954.
The method of supporting the
wool price of loans and purchas
es by the government which has
been followed for several years,
nas not nad the effect of increas
ing production to the desired ex
tent, say the government offi
cials.
Payment 110 Percent of Parity
ine .national Wool Act oro-
viaes ior a shorn wool incentive
price up to 110 per cent of parity,
if necessary, to reach the eoal of
muiion pounos annually, it
aiso provides lor an incentive
price of mohair of 70 cents per
pouna xor tne ivtt cup. This is
91 per cent of the Sept 15 mo-
nair parity price.
The new support procedure
provides for direct payment by
the government to wool and mo
hair growers if the national ave
rage market price received by
growers for their 1955 clip is be-
jow inese support prices. j
aneep men snouid keep re
ceipts for sale of wool and mo

April 1, 1956, as government sub
sidy payments will be a national
percentage figure applied; to the
total amount the producer recei
ved from sales. The wool sale
receipts will be the basis for the
government support payment on
snorn wool, while the payment on
pulled wool will be based on the
producer's total sales of sheep

Sell High. Is Advice !
Since the payment to the pro
ducer will be in proportion to his
total receipts, it behooves him to
sen ior as high a price as nossi
ble. Given as an example is that

The 1954 report shows 295,107
cattle were tested and that 1,620
of them, or just over one-half of
one per cent, reacted. Last year
ine percentage was at .bo.
Of the six mid-Willamette val

most cattle tested, a total of 25.-
182 with 84 reactors. Clackamas
county was second with 14.425

ITS IN THE BOOK The record book that is. And it's becom

book if good livestock selling is to be. Because Sam Drager's (his
address is Turner) sheep records were good, he's now got a Sri
folk ram and a Suffolk ewe on their way to Panama City.
It came about this way: A rancher from Panama, hearing about
the progeny testing program at Oregon State College, chose that
place from which to buy- a three-year-old progeny-tested Suffolk
ram to use in improving the mutton qualities of the native Panama.

The rancher was Luis Martinez of Panama City. He plans to
mate the ram to a small purebred flock used to raise more rams
to mate to the native sheen. It so happened that Luis wanted anoth

Joe B. Johnson, associate professor of animal husbandry at the col
lege, to find these for him. Sam's records, which have been kept
meticulously for some years before tne recent zesting ana recora

Apple Tree
Pruning
Training and pruning apple
trees is a necessary orchard man
agement practice for quality fruit
production, says D. L. Rasmussen,
county extension agent However,
since pruning is a dwarfing pro
cess, growers must , sacrifice a
part of the crop in order to have
quality apples for harvest
As with other fruit and nut
crops, the fruiting habit of the
aoDle affects the type of pruning.
Apples are borne on permanenS
spurs in the presence ot sunugni.
Young spurs are two. years old
when the first crop is harvested.
These spurs lengthen each year
and may reach a length of several
inches. The frequency of apple
nrnduriton from a sinele spur de
pends upon tne variety, age vi
tree, amount of sunlight soil fer
tility, water supply, nd other
factors.
Non-bearing apple ' trees are
trained .to select well spaced
scaffold limbs. Most growers pre
fer trees with three to five scaf
fold limbs spaced along the trunk
and around the trunk. The dis
tance from the' lowest scaffold
limb to the ground level will vary
with the grower and the district
and conditions under which the
apples are grown. When apple
trees are headed back to aDout
3642 inches at planting time, the
lowest scaffold limb usually orig
inates about 24-30 inches from the
eround.
Strong crotch angles ot u ;
degrees between the scaffold!
branch and the trunk are neces
sary to lessen the breakage of
limbs from heavy rops, sudden
gusts of wind, and other causes.
Strong crotches also result when
only one scaffold branch is al
lowed to originate at a given
point on the trunk. A desirable
spacing between scaffold limbs is
at least four to six inches or more.
