NEWSPAPER PUBLISHERS ASSOCIATION Published Every Thursday and Entered at the Post Office at Heppner, Subscription Rates: Morrow and Grant Counties, $3.00 Year; Elsewhere From The County Agent's Office By N. C. After somewhat of a setback the County PMA office has ad justed itself to the circumstances and the work is progressing nice, ly. The PMA practice handbook that, was expected to be in the mail at this time will be delayed about one week. Farmers should begin to receive them sometime next week. Included in the handbook will be those practices which we have discussed in this column in the past weeks, plus a good many more that we expect to briefly (lis cuss here. Amongst the practices designed primarily for improve ment and protection of establish ed vegetable cover is Bl, initial improvement of an established permanent grass or grass-legume cover for soil or watershed pro lection. This practice is appli cable only in mountain meadows for the improvement of those lands. Where ranchers wish to work up these grasslands to im prove kind and stand of grasses and lagumes, the 1951 program promises payment of 50': of the cost of the seed, not to exceed $1 per acre. A payment for super phosphate will be made where it r; deemed necessary that this will help to improve the seeding. This practice is for land that is to re main permanently in use as pas ture, hay, or both, on which the benefits of improved vegetable cover can be extended materially without reestablishnient. Under continuous use for pasture or hay many meadows have lost their stands of belter plants. Also there are now available better adapted plants such as meadow foxtail and alia fescue for wet meadows and Tulalin oatgrass, smooth brome, alta fescue and ladak alfalfa for well drained meadows. A good stand of these plants can he expected to in crease materially the amount and quality of the forage produced. There are many acres of moun tain meadow land thai can bene fit from this practice in Morrow county. The County PMA Com mittee has worked up suggested kinds of seeds, seeding rates, and fertilizers to use in connection with this practice. Only a few days ago we were talking to a rancher who said that he would not keep a bull on his place that needs lo be fed more than hay. Unless his bulls are exceptional or he feeds ex ceptional hay, chances are thai they are turned out in the spring in not much better condition than when they came in in the fall. I think that all our ranchers are aware of the fact that bulls need to get into proper breeding con dition if the best calf crop is ex pected. There is a poor and a good w ay of wintering bulls, Now is the lime to start. So often an otherwise good rancher will ne glect his bulls during the winter by letting them shift for them selves and existing on an inade quate ration. The point we want lo make here is that bulls should be so wintered that they will be tough, vigorous, and carrying some condition by the time thai breeding season starts. And when we say "condition" we mean fat or finish. It isn't harmful for a bull to be carrying finish compar able to high, good, or even low choice if he has had a chance to get the necessary exercise for toughening. Such a bull carry-during SMALL AMOUNTS MAKE BIG ACCOUNTS GAZETTE TIMES ROBERT FENLAND Editor and Publisher GRCTCHE.N PENLAND Associate Publisher Anderson ing condition will hold up better under difficult breeding condi tions than bulls that have just been wintered casually. A thin bull is not a vigorous bull. With livesiockmen needing to play eve ry hand in making ends meet and economizing in their production it appears that a higher percentage calf crop is one of the ways to bring in more income. Vigorous bulls turned with good doing cows are bound to help to widen the gap between prices and costs. And while we are lalking about good feeding and its importance in a good calf crop, it reminds us of the demonstration that was put on at the annual Livestock growers Association meeting earl ier this month. At that time, Dr. McKenzie, of the Oregon Slate college, pointed out that two thirds of the calf's fetal growth takes place in those final fit) days 'before it is dropped. Those final 111) days are almost always the roughest days of Hie entire year. They come just when brood row's nutritional needs are at the year's peak, and just when native sour ces of nutrition hit the bottom. When cows needlessly lose weight in winter it takes far into the summer to get their weight hack up, and cows which are so weak ened cannot be counted to pro duce a strong calf or to produce good flow of milk for the calf, nor can they be expected to breed properly for next year's calf crop. When cows are drawing on their systems for maintenance and re production they are actually using up beefsteak, and beefsteak is expensive cow feed. In going back a couple of years lo our annual Livestock meeting, Dr. Art Sawyer, superintendent of of the Squaw- Butte Experiment Station, pointed out some work that had been done there that surely is timely now. The ex periment was with and without the use of supplement for brood cows on hay. In an experiment carried there for four years, 20 head of brood cows supplemented with protein feed gave a hundred per cent calf crop. A group of 20 head wintered on good hay, only, averaged an SO'-;, calf crop, while a group wintered on a ration short of hay gave a (if)'',', crop. This (()':, calf crop was received after the second year of the ex periment. In summing this ex periment it was found that the extia feed fed was paid in full plus $10 per cow profit in the high to intermediate group, while there was a spread of $25 from the high to the low group. Also Ihe cows that are kept poor on a short hay ration are breeding later each year. There is a large spread between the first and the last calf dropped. The same work has been done in Nebraska and California (lur ing' the past few years with coin parativoly the same results.
