Mr.rwt?v! wvt 1 ihnro is nn nAsnn ! nussible radius of one mile frc News From C. A. Office Loss- from rattle prebs run Into many millions of dollars an nually with over 35 percent of 1 the cattle slaughtered in the U. S. classed as "grubby." Morrow county farmers should bepin to do something to hold their share of the annual loss down. With the control methods that have proved effective when used tha economical, there is no reason I possible radius of one mile from for anv of our cattlemen neglect- where they are hatched. There' ing this job. Treatment consists of spray inp or dusting the "grubby" backs of the cattle wtih a 5 per cent rototionc spray or dust. Ap plication should be made soon after the grubs begin to cut holes ' in the s':in and drop out. This is generally in late January or February depending on the year. Since the heel fly, which the grubs develop into, lays eggs for next year's grubs it is necessary that a sood kill be made. Heel fore it is important that the treatment be made on a com munity basis so that herds are riot infested from neighbors who have not treated for grubs. Five percent rotonone is being sold at cost at the County Agent s ol- fice. Anyone wishing to treat for grubs and wanting more in formation is invited to stop in at this office soon. which got no salt was S17.85. While for the hogs which got salt the feed cost per hundred pounds of gain was only S 10.73 a saving of $7.12 for every hun dred pounds of gain. While this experiment is made on hogs only, it is true that all of our livestock needs salt at all times in order to produce or gain economically. o TRUCK LOAD OF TIRES.

Oscar Peterson, farmer south of lone, finds that it pays to be persistent with perennial weeds. Mr. Peterson began many years ago with a program for control ling morning glory by use of chemicals. Applications of sod ium chlorate were used on pat ches followed up the following years by individual treatment of scattered plants not killed by the first application. A supply of chemical is kept on hand at all times and when a plant of morning glory is found it is treated at once. At the same time Mr. Peterson has carried through a clean cul tivation pogram for a larger Datch of morning glory that could not be economically con trolled by chemicals. Opposite to the belief of many he nas found that this is an effective control method if timely culti vations are made and continued especially at harvest time when so many good farmers neglect their weed cultivations by the press of harvest operations. Following these methods Mr. Peterson has found that he is getting ahead of the weeds fast instead of being the loser as in many of our cases here in Morrow county.

Chemical solutions have been recommended but plain water does just about as well, costs nothing, and does not promote any false sense of se curity that the tree has been fire-proofed. Some chemicals tend to discolor the leaves. The state forester has just an nounced that tree seedlings are available to Oregon farmers for establishment of woodlands, shelterbelts and windbreaks Anyone wishing to put out shelterbelt can contact this of fice for information and assist ance in ordering, or in laying out the planting u you wisn help. Trees must be ordered by at least March 1. The sooner orders are made the better selection of species you will have. Species available now are Douglas fir, Port Orford cedar, Ponderosa pine, Arizona cypress, Chinese arborvitae, Giant Sequoia, black locust and Russian olive. A small charge of $2.50 per thousand is made to cover cost of handling. In the salt feeding experiment T.ith tattening nogs aunng me summer of 1945, Purdue univer sity showed a penny's worth of salt saved 287 pounds ol teea valued at $6.37. The results of this test were so remarkable that a similar test was made this year on young pigs. The results were equally amazing. . Two lots of young pigs were started on feed in dry lot, July 11. Each lot contained 15 pigs with an average starting weight of 50 pounds. The ration was the same for both shelled corn, pro tein supplement, and mineral mixture. However, one group got salt free choice. . .the other group got no salt Here are the results at the end of 65 days. Pigs receiving salt free choice gained 75 per cent faster than those without salt. The salt- starved pigs gained only 48 pounds a head. For each pound of salt consumed there were 29 extra pounds of gain. Besides the extra gain there was tremendous cut in feed cost. Figuring shelled corn at $1.68 a bushel, supplement at $90.00 a ton, the mineral mixture at 2.5 rpnts a nound, the cost per nun- dred pounds of gain for the hogs CHURCH OF CHRIST Bible school, 9:45; C.
