Reports from Oregon hog rais
crs on breeding intentions in the
spring of 1953, indicate 13,000
sows to farrow, 8,000 head below
a year ago, and the smallest num
ber for spring litters of record.
Intentions of Oregon hog rais
ers are in line with national pic
ture with predictions of a de
crease of 13 percent from last
year of sows farrowing and down
17 percent below the 10-year
average.
Even with hog numbers down
it might be well to study feed and
other costs before jumping into
the hog business.
Thirfv. seven heifers, forty bulls
are consigned to the third annual
sale of the Oregon Polled Here
ford Association, which will be
belli .-if the Orecon State Fair
grounds on March 1 and 2. The
show will bo held March 1, the
sale on March 2.

Farmers attending the annual
moetiiKT (,f the Ilennner Sou Con

ndiscusslon on grasses and le
adapted to various soil
and climatic conditions here. The
meotinu was held at the Lex
iiu'ton Granee hall. While at
tendance was low, interest was
high.
Dick Adlard, nursery agrono
mist, Soil Conservation Service,
Pullman, Washington, pointed
out to those present that while
many grasses and legumes ap
pear to be a panacea to all ills,
each having their place, fitting
into various soil types and cli
matic conditions. Where one
species may do well in a com
munity it "may be entirely un
stated in another community, due
to soils, elevation or moisture
conditions. Tall wheatgrass, for
instance, while tolerable to heavy
alkali salts, appearing to pro
duce much, can be unsuited for
rl nt t nerd where alkali is not a
problem, and can be outproduced
by a grass sucli as orcnara gius.-.

necessity for proper range man
agement for higher production,
stressing deferred and rotation
grazing, proper salting and water
facilities. The danger to ranges
from early spring grazing was
especially well presented. Other

MOBILE SOIL TESTING LAB CALLED
UNIQUE NEW NORTHWEST SERVICE
WALLA WALLA Pictured , It is an equally useful tool in son
erosion control.
"While agricultural experiment
stations are scattered throughout
the principal agricultural regions
of the West, it is impossible for
them to conduct experiments un
der the exact conditions and the
tvpes of soil individual farmers
have on their land. This mobile
soil testing laboratory can bring
both general and specific infor
mation to individual farm for
greater production. Furthermore,
jt , will introduce effiencies by
having a trained specialist, ngm
on the spot,, who can intensify
his efforts and make his know
ledge available throughout the
major farming areas of the Northwest.
"The Knettle Farm Manage
ment Service is proud to have
Warren G. Marshall as its head
agronomist and the man who
will, through this mobile labora
tory, put his exceptional training
and field experience to work on a
scale so far unprecedented in this
part of the country.
Mr. Knettle explained that the
rolling laboratory is twenty-five
feet long, and has both electric
and propane heat for processing
soil samples. Equipment in
cludes a 6-foot soil sampling tube,
air tight containers, and a bal
ance for weighing samples before
and after drying for soil moisture
determination. A photoelectric
colorimeter is used in determin
ing the available nitrogen in the
soil. Additional equipment in
cludes a glass electrode pll meter
for use in measuring the relative
acidity and alkalinity of soil
samples.
