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

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

year back again, and has added
four new members. They are Jack

of each month with the next
meeting to be held at the John
Graves ranch on December 7.
Annual report time is here with
4-H club records an important
part of the statistics. Each record
book is closely analyzed. The
agricultural records show that 68
boys and 35 girls enrolled in live
stock projects all but one girl and
three boys completed the club
year. Beef and sheep were most
popular projects with 25 members
enrolled in each of them. We will
