Agriculture Returns in Crook
County Exceed $6,000,000.
With Livestock in Lead Role
-
Prineville, August 22 A program, which his office has
promoted for the past 10 years in the improvement of the
herds of beef cattle in Crook county, has paid off, and E. L.
Woods, county agricultural agent views with satisfaction the
estimated returns of an aggregate of $6,216,000 received for
the county's agricultural products in 1950. Of this total, more
than a half, the sum of $3,466,000 came from sale of livestock
and livestock products. .
Woods' records show that during 1950 CrooR countv had
45,uuu neaa oi range cattie,''-
8,000 head of sheep, around
2,600 head of hogs and 2,000
dairy cows. . ::; '
While the county has long
been noted for its quality cat
tle, an expansion of purebred
herds the past 10 years has focus
ed the attention of stockmen of
all the Pacific coast on Prineville.
Two notable sales and shows of
two leading breeds are now an
nual affairs here. The auction of
the Crook County Hereford Cattle
Breeders' association each fall, in
late October or early November,
annually draws consignments of
top bulls and heifers, to be added
to the heavy local offerings, from
throughout the. state. The annual
sale and show of the Oregon
Shorthorn Breeders' association
held each late February or early
March, also attracts consignments
from points as widely separated
7
as northern California and north
ern Idaho. Buyers from afar at
tend both sales.
Fine Kerds Noted
The county has become noted
also for its purebred herds of An
gus Aberdeen cattle, and activities
for a show and sale of this breed
have been discussed. The follow

flock.
. ; Injections Started
When the cockerels are : 10
months old, you start hormone
injections. Each bird gets a daily
shot in ttie , breast, for a week
or less. 'Cost: $1,50' per injection.
You-iook for the cockerel that
can withstand the most hormone.
He's the one most likely to father
hens that will lay eggs instead
of wanting to "hatch them.
It's funny to watch the test as
it progresses. Dr. Bernier checks
the birds closely, listening for
clucking sounds and testing them
with babv" chicks. He tickles the
birds on the breast and so long
as they put up a light, he knows
there's resistance. .
' No III Effect '
There's ho carry-over effect
from the hormone. After you've
made your selection, and injec
tions are stopped, the birds are
crowing again within three or
four days. . . .
Althou'gh he's been using the

be effective in selecting turkey,

production during a short span
of time is especially important.

Penicillin Found
To Help Growth
Of Turkey Poults
The curative powers of Deniell-
lln, the magical antibiotic, have
been put to a new use bv an
Oregon State college scientist,
and this time it's turkeys that
will benefit..
J. A. Harper, who is in cliaree
of turkey research for the OSC
agricultural experiment station,
nas iounci in his tests that a tiny
bit of penicillin added to turkey
feed produces faster and more
uniform growth in poults. Mortal
ity also was reduced.
Harper took turkey poults with
similar hereditary backgrounds
and placed them in two experi
mental pens at the OSC turkey
farm. Space allotment per bird
and feed were identical with a
single exception. Birds in one pen
received a small dose of Drncaine
penicillin 2 V4 grams to a ton of
feed.
Poults in tho pen fed the nor
mal ration varied greatly In size
and vigor. .Some were as large
and healthy as those In the pen
receiving penicillin, but others ap
peared weak and runty.
The penicillin-fed birds were
uniform In size and, at four weeks
of age, weighed an average of M
pound per bird more .than the
other group. ..
Although the exact reason ror
these results isn't known. Harbor
explained that the theory has been
