Page' 3 Section 2 Details Given Pilot State 2 Year Cost Of Program $295,000 By CLAUDE STKUSLOFF Capital Journal Writ or Compulsory style meat inspec tion would include about 21 per cent of the total annual meat animal slaughter in Oregon and cost $1.36 per animal inspected ac cording to a report on the 1955-57 bienmum pilot meat inspection program just released by the state . department of agriculture. An estimated 216.543 animals would be inspected annually at a total cost of $295,019.68 per yea- for the two year period July 1, 1957 to June 30, 1959 in the opinion of Russell T. Daulton, meat in spection analyst, who has been , compiling data for the excellent report. Pilot Program Stated The pilot inspection program was authorized by the 1955 legis lature to "develop information as . to the desirability, necessity and ' costs of compulsory statewide meat inspection and to report its . findings to the 1957 legislature." During the legislative session esti mates on cost of stnte inspection ran between $250,000 and $430,000 per year. I Veterinarians for the pilot in tnection program condemned .5 ' per cent of the animals inspected from Sept. 1955 to Oct. 1956. If this ratio continues, cost per ani mal condemned under the pro posed program would be $272 if ' value or the program were caieu lated on slaughter inspection alone However, inspectors do much more than examine animals be fore and during slaughtering to de tect disease and determine whole- somen ess for food. Sanitation de ficiencies and insanitary practices accounted for 902 violations in 116 plants covered by the first round of the pilot program. There were 110 violations listed in 31 sausage manufacturing and curing plants. Seven of these establishments were so insanitary they were closed until corrections were made. Contamination Cited Poor quality and condition of meats and other raw ingredients used in preparation of processed meats resulted in condemnation of 17,264 pounds of product during Iho study. It included: 13,368 pounds of frozen products which had been stored too long; 700 pounds of emaciated dressed beef; 450 pounds oi bruised hina quar teri; 400 pounds of beef carcasses spoiled in cooler; 340 pounds of Immature veal along wan jesser quantities of spoiled, rancid, moldy end decomposed mat una I. About 57 per cent of the total annual slaughter takes place tn ir .federally inspected establishments in Oregon. Total cost of the service was $180,606. It averaged $1.01 for each animal slaughtered. The average condemnation on 665,305 animals was .43 per cent. Cost of the service is paid by federal funds at no direct expense to the plants. The city of Portland pays for meat inspection at 3 slaughter plants and 47 processing plants nt an annual cost of $54,000. The service is operated under stale ap proval. In the year ending Sept. 1956 there were 157,749 animals killed in Portland, of which .35 per cent were condemned. Albany Has Inspection Albany and Klamath Kails also have municipal inspection, paid for by plant owners. If i com pulsory state inspection program is established it is expected these 2 cities will come under it. Ten stales in the U.S. have com pulsory meat inspection. In Cali fornia the cost is borne by the stale. Washington and Idaho plant owners are billed for the service. In three states the cost is shared by owners and the slate. Six states have voluntary state inspection and a like number have no in spection of any type The report states that shout 80 nlants in Oregon manufacture i sr usage, cure and render meat. Some operate frozen food lockers in connection with the processing. Mx ol llicm hu e hut one cm ployee. 13 have 2 employees nnd only 1 has 5 workmen. In 3 of these plants no hot water was available; 12 had inadequate hand washing facilities: Hi had no fly control equipment; 9 had dirty floors; 6 had inadequate toilet fa cilities.

Quality of Fruit Improved By Proper Pruning of Trees Pruning fruit trees is one of the commercial orchard or home garden management practices that wiil improve fruit quality. Fruit growers can profit from experimental pruning projects that have been carried on for many years by experiment station work ers and individual growers. These projects have consistently shown that severe pruning is a dwarfing nnd cron-roducma process, hince the amount of pruning is deter mined by age of tree, kind and variety of fruit, amount of growth, and other factors, growers must accent (lie fuct that they may re dure the total crop in order to have a better quality crop. Knsmiissen reminds growers of general principles that apply to all feet ion. mastitis, pneumonia, and tuberculosis, in that order were the chief cause of condemnation, the records show. Several emaci ated animals were top poor for human food nnd arthritis showed up prominently in swine disease. A total of 6.350 hoarLs, livers, kidneys, tongues nnd heads were, condemned during the pilot pro gram year. Flukes, other para sites, nnd absesses were causes of the loss in most cases. Constant Attendance Needed Slaughter inspection requires constant attendance by competent inspectors and the plants are mostly small units .scattered about the state. The report estimates in spectors would travel 349,000 miles each year to cover the more than UHl slaughterhouses. It suggests "due to inaccessibility to qualit ,( veterinary service: volume of kill. and to small' outlying ' plants would be exempted from! inspection lor sales within that local area only, but could be in cluded in the program if plants share the extra costs involved." It is proposed the state be di vided into 18 areas with a trained veterinarian serving each from its antral location. lolal cost for mileage and salary in the Salem area is estimated at $J7.4:i2 per year. The program is "tailored to meet Oregon conditions." Paulton pointed out last week that "during tl tune a butcher in Curry coimtv said he was able to operate his killing plain only when there is an oINhore hree.e bringing in salt air. when the wind is trom the oilier direction (lies drive us out of lhe place, he complained " xenr plan, q I int five ears of Findings in Meat Inspection J i fruit trees. The first, and a most imnnrlml nrineinlo ic th'il vmimf nnn-h.,-,rin,' fr.ii trw O.m.ld hn ' pruned only enough to select the main scafford limbs. From three to five scafford limbs are enough for the overage fruit tree. Scaf ford limbs should be spaced around and along the trunk of the tree. If only one limb L allowed to form at one point on the trunk, this will lessen the possibility of splitting and crowding of branch es. A desirable crotch angle be tween the scafford branch and the trunk is about 45 degrees. Crotch angles of less than 30 degrees in crease the danger of splitting. Crotch angles approaching 90 de grees result in low hanging branch es which will soon be sweeping the ground at their lips. In selecting the scafford limbs. the grower should not remove all other side growth. Side growth may be headed back, thinned out, or cut back to spurs, particularly in apples and pears. In all fruit trees, limbs that rub together should be separated by pruning. Enough wood should be thinned out so that sunlight can penetrate into the tree. Side branches that originate on the under side of the limbs are soon shaded and become non-productive. lhe side branches that remain ex posed to light originate on t h c sides or upper edges of the limbs. As trees reach bearing age. more moderate pruning is neces sary to maintain a balance be tween new wood and fruit bear ing wood. Only when the tree becomes old and yields begin to decrease is there any justification mr heavier pruning. Of the five major tree fruits In the Willamette Valley, peaches re quire pruning every year. Apples and pears are usually pruned every year by most growers. Prunes and sweet cherries require very little pruning. NPPA lo Ask River Agency VANCOl VKIt, Wash ir - Leg islation calling lor a Columbia liner IVvelopment Commission. similar to the St. Lawrence Sea way Agency, will be introduced in Congress, the Northwest Public Power Assn. lias announced. (ius Norwood, association exe cute e secretary, said the plans were contained in a fourth draft of legislation that is aimed at a "middle road" between inclusive" authority and nothing" compact. It proposes a federal corporation to finance with SO-yrnr electric revenue bonds the construction of power generation and transmis sion facilities in the Columbia Hasm. The corporation would hae !ive member from Oregon. Idaho. Washington ar.d Montana, who would receixe an annual salary of k'o.txto and serve (our years each. By getting this draft introduced. Norwood said, hearin.es would bring out views of federal agen cies and others.

Waste Sulphite As Suppliment OREGON STATE COLLEGE Special) Waste sulfite liquors from paper mills rrlay in the future be processed into a useful live stock feed supplement instead of creating a troublesome stream pol lution problem. lege have discovered a process for 3 spent liquors to make studies indicate it "would be a sat isfactory supplement in rations of livestock." However, the research workers hasten to point out that the new , process is still in the development i I stage and a number of questions, remain to be answered before it can be used in industry. Costs of plant installation might also be prohibitive to smaller firms, they explain. The treatment involves use of a bacterial culture to ferment the spent liquors. The resulting prod uct contains a high percentage of protein. Herman R. Amberg, former West Coast resident engineer for the National Council for Stream Im provement, headed the project at the OSC enigneering experiment Certified Spud Seed Check in Final Stages The annual inspection program for certified seed potatoes has moved into its final phase with the "reading" of greenhouse test plots in Oregon State college green houses. Jack Waud and It. E. Finnell, " '''..on spec.ai.si s, report 'hat four greenhouses have l)CCn l,hint W1,h 1"r(; lhan P" tato seedpieces as part of the final inspection of growers' fields. 1 be seedpieces represent samples taken from 199 fields belonging to 83 growers in 10 counties. The four greenhouses will be filled at least once more before this your s in spection program is complete. Samples now in the greenhouses represent fields in Clackamas, Crook, Deschutes, Harney, Jeffer son, Klamath. Malheur, Marion, Multnomah, and Umatilla counties. Baker, Columbia, and Washington counties will have samples in the next planting. Potato growers who wish to pro duce certified seed potatoes have their fields inspected twice to make sure their potatoes are dis ease free and are a pure variety. But Waud says this isn't enough. Sometimes a virus disease can re main masked that is, not show any symptoms during a particular season. And it's also possible for a field to become infected so late in the season that the disease doesn't show itself before potatoes are dug. I hats where the greenhouse test comes in. If any disease is be ing carried on or in the seed po tatoes, it usually shows up in the samples planted in the green houses. Bill Itaymer, OSC plant pathologist, helps the certification specialists inspect the greenhouse plots to make sure disease symp toms aren't missed. Potato lots that pass both field inspection tests and the greenhouse lest are given the certification stamp of approval of being a pure variety and as free from disease possible. Approximately 200 Oregon growers with a total of more than 3500 acres are applying for certification on their seed po tatoes this year. Livestock, Poulti Short Stock Session To Start on J anna rv 1 I A series of free livestock and nil poultry short courses is being of d0 ! fered Marion county farmers in nine meetings to be held during .January and February under di rection of the county extension agents office.

THE CAPITAE JOURNAL Liquor Studied for Stock Feed station. The stream improvement group, composed of pulp, paper and pa per board industries, fur nished financial support. The pulp and paper Industries have long sought a solution to the stream pollution problem created by discharge of sulfite liquors. Amberg said preliminary feeding studies on rats indicate the ma terial is palatable, non-toxic and an excellent protein supplement. Compared to soybean meal, fish meal and other oilseed meals used in livestock rations, it proved a superior source of vitamins. The National Council for Stream Improvement said the possibility is being studied of installing a pilot plant in the Willamette valley to produce the material. A report of Amberg's study is available from the enginering experiment station at OSC. Polk 4-H Sets Yearly Event On January 14 The Polk county 4-H open house meeting will be held January 14 at 7:30' p.m., at the Rickrcall grade school, reports John Grimes, county 4-H extension agent. This January county-wide event is the kick-off for the 1957 4-H program. The meeting is open to all enrolled and new club mem bers and leaders. Featured at this years gather ing will be Tom Zinn, Klamath county IF YE, who recently re turned from Iran. Zinn will show slides and tell about his trip under the 4-H International Farm Youth Lxchange. It has been the practice for the past several years to choose pro gram numbers from the Novem ber "section achievement" days. The club members who will be participating in the program have been notified. The program num bers include demonstrations, club reports, songs and skits. All club members who will be joining 4-H for the first time will receive special pins. M. E. Dunston, Newberg division manager for Portland General Electric, has made arrangements to again provide treats. Sheep Grower Musts Noted Young lambs are appearing on many valley farms this week. County Agent Ben ... Newell re minds growers of several musts for a successful sheep year. Ewes need to be tagged and cleaned up so new lambs can nurse immediately. Control ticks on the ewes. A lla per cent dieldrin dust using two ounces per ewe will do the job. Apply with a hand duster or a burlap sack after the ewes have dried off. There's no substitute for good feed. Kwe paralysis or pregnancy disease can often be prevented by feeding one pound of grain a day or .some molasses or hay or free choice. Feeding ewes should start at least four weeks before lambing I and continue until ample pasture! is available. Creep feeding for lambs will help get them to market, wlule prices arc best, says Newell. May and early June are considered top market with prices dropping fast in late June and July.

These animals are the most common cause of unclean grain although birds are also responsi ble. And insect damage is often a problem if the grain has too high a moisture content at the time of storage or becomes damp from leaks in the granary. Newell points out that the fed eral food and drug administration has tightened its regulations on clean grain and now allow no more than on rodent pellet per pint of wheat and no more than one per cent insect damaged grain for wheat in interstate transit. v v.. ;1i .11 i. : IHUIL' Mill KU Uf t'(.'IUMg V flllS waning ai a.

Farm surpluses, government programs and "too small" farms are summarized by Potter as the basic problems in a concise 14 page OSC circular of information, "Our Farm Problem." Copies of the new booklet are available from county extension agents or the OSC bulletin clerk. A major problem cited is that one-third of the nation's farms arc too small to operate economically. As improvements in labor-saving farm machines continue, the "family farm" of today may be come the "too small farm" of to morrow, Potter explains. While the percentage of popula tion needed to man the nation's farms is steadily decreasing, the birth rate continues higher in the country than in the city. The re- suit s that ,arms must be into even smaller units, or a farm boy must buy out his city-bound brothers and sisters. Many a good farm boy has gone broke, Potter says, trying to buy out the other heirs even though the father left a fine farm free of debt Weeks Reports No Hitches on Road Program WASHINGTON LP Secretary rtf CnmmPrro Witrk tnM trnntnrc Tuesday the new 33-biUion-dollar highway program is moving , aon2 very rapidly" and that 'n signinrant delays have developed so far.

Tnis CPmparpd with fedcral. year ended last June 30. "Thi spectacular increase in our rate of contracts advertised and funds obligated is not just a sudden spurt, and there is every reason to believe that the present rate of progress will be main tained and further increased in future months." the secretary said. He said the states alreadv have submitted advance programs to - eral highway administrator, said , that the 21.9," miles of inter - state route locations that have 1 been set out. about 23 per cent ' follow existing roads and 75 per jcent will havo new locations. Better Poultry Year Forecast By Economists OSC Experts Predict Better Egg Price, Fewer Turkeys OREGON STATE COLLEGE (Special) Oregon poultrymen are likely to fare better in 1957 than during the past year, Oregon State college agricultural econo mists believe. After reaching new production hichs in 1956, coupled with sagging prices, the industry will probably stop to catch its breath next year, the economists say. This should result in better returns in 1957 since feed costs are expected to stay about the same as in 1956. Prospects for better egg prices next fall stem mainly from t h likelihood that fewer pullets will be raised in 1957, the economistj state in the current issue of Ore gon Farm and .Market Outlook. Copies of the Outlook, which also reports economic trends for the dairy and holly businesses, a r a available from county extension agents. Fewer turkeys for 1957 are likely to follow this year's record na tional turkey crop, jiven so, long range goals of Oregon turkey growers should aim primarily at Pacific Northwest markets, the economists believe. Competition for eastern markets is growing , more intense with midwest grow. ers holding a strong competitive edge because of lower feed and transportation costs. Possible exception to general cut backs for 1957 may come in the broiler trade. But any increase in broiler production will probably be smaller than in recent years. Trends in broiler production are heavily influenced by feed manu facturers and poultry processors who are apparently less sensitive than producers to short-run period! of low prices, the economists ex plain. Would Honor Best Farmer AtWoodburn Nomination Sought By Jaycee Club As Sponsor WOODBURN (Special) Plans for the selection of the commun ity's outstanding young farmer have been announced by Loren Flomer, Jaycee president, which organization will be in charge of the selection. Carl Devin, vocational ag. man at Woodburn high school, will be chairman of the selection commit tee. Bob Miller, who won the honor of 1955 young farmer, will assist the selection committee, as will also Al Ringo. Successful farm operators, ages 21 to 35 arc eligible. Judging will be based upon the nominees' prog ress in farming and contribution to conservation and community betterment. Judges will be an nounced later. Anyone desiring to nominate e candidate may obtain a blank from Devin. local banks or feed stores. Nominations should b e turned over to Devin as soon as possible. Selection will be before February 1. Local selection will be a part of a third annual nal ion-wide search to select and honor Amer ica's most outstanding young farmer of 1956. The program is sponsored by the American Petrol eum Institute, the committee on agriculture and the U.S. junior chamber of commerce. Winner of the community con test will be entered in the state finals with an opportunity to win an all-expense trip to the national awards program in Durham, N.C. April lo and 16.
