Page 6 Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, December 1 1, 1952 t From The County Agent's Office By N. C. Anderson A recent visit with Harold Dohyns, former District Agent with the Fish and Wildlife Ser vise, now retired to his small acreage near lone, made me re alize how fortunate our Morrow County people were in having him close at hand. Harold is mak ing use of his long experience of rodent and predator animal con Irol now in a private predator control service. He is available for all kinds of rodent and precla tor control work on the farm or what have you. The best part of this service which is available to our farmers is that Harold is not trying to get rich over night. He will work with you on coyote, field mice CURLEE TOPCOAT Makes an Excellent Gift, We have them. 39.50 to 55.00 WILSON'S MEN'S WEAR The Store of Personal Service gophers, rats, and other kinds of predators. Last week he caught a great number of muskrats, some beaver, several raccoons ana a mink. Mr. Dobyns will work with far mers in any program they wish He will furnish baits and super vise baiting or do all of the job himself. He has several ware houses and buildings under con tract now for rat control. The county has hired him, part-time, as coyote hunter and reports on his kills are gratifying. We don't wish an overload of work for you, Harold, as a re sult of this news article, for we know you retired to take it easy. However, there are areas that are not so lucky as we are, if our farmers wish to take advantage of this service. The time of year that will tell whether your farm records were sufficient for income tax returns is drawing near. Several far mers have purchased the New Oregon Farm Record and Farm Inventory Record books which were made available by Oregon State College, this year. The Oregon Farm Record book is a revision of the old record book of that same title, with changes and additions to meet the changing income tax requirements. The Oregon Farm Inventory Recrod is a seven year record. It sells Oregon Farm Inventory Record book for 30 cents. They are avail able at the county agents office. Agent at Large, Oregon State Col lege, who has recently returned from New Zealand is assisting the county agent for a while. Frank spent two years in New Zealand on a Fullbright Scholarship, get ting his Masters degree in Sheep Husbandry. He is working this week on 4-H organization and project material and is appearing before several groups to show his colored slides and discuss New Zealand Agriculture. Feed all the good quality rough age cows will eat it is cheapest if it's good. Last year, shortly after Christ mas, there were many cases of foot rot in livestock here in Mor row County. Most of the cases started through poorly trimmed feet and muddy corrals. Prevention is far easier and much less expensive than the cure. Timely foot trimming of both cattle and sheep is the first step. Providing sanitary and dry corrals and sheds with good drainage is the second step. Eigh teen inches or two feet of sawdust or shavings in the feed lot or loaf ing shed will do much toward prevention of foot rot. 4-H News Another 4-H livestock club has been reorganized to join the fold of active clubs for 1953. It is the Sandhollow Buttercreek 4-H Live stock Club, which was organized last Saturday afternoon. The club has most of its members of last year back again, and has added four new members.
