Anticipating a bitf demand for as far as he is concerned. This al
information on the use of barley j falla is TVient. A variety re
in various livestock feeds, Oregon; leased from the southern Oregon
State College, animal husbandry experiment station at Talent a
department has recently worked j f,,w years ago. Mr. Emert has a

taken and could base had a
of the various classes of livestock.
This was done as it is evident
that a lot of barley will be fed
at home t his year.
Rations for ho;'s including
cheep feeding pi;;s, fattening ra
tions both on pasture and nol on
pasture for sows nursing litters or
pregnant vows and fills, boars
.and sous, for last six weeks of
gestation, ewes in lactation, and
fattening lambs, fattening calves,
earlings, wintering calves and
yearlings are also available. Any
one who is interested in 1 h is
group of rations using barley as
the main feed should contact this
office,
Delberl F.merl, Willow creek
rancher, says there is only one al
falfa to glow on irrigated land
fourth one with two irrigations,
lb' believ.es the variety is hardy
and is easier to establish than
other alfalfa varieties. It's char
acteristic as the best of the nema
tode varieties was proven the
year it was established when
other fields on the Emert ranch
were badly damaged from wire
worms. This field suffered no ill
effects. The variety is of a vigor
ous growth and starts earlier in
the spring and continues later in
the fall than any other variety of
alfalfa with which it has been
compared for several years in
Oregon. It is leafy and branches
freely. It's stems are relatively
line, it stands up well and noes
not produce a course hay. Tests in
the Pacific Northwest show that

if
it has a rather high degree of
winter hardiness, however in
j short growing season locations,
the early sptirig growth may be
damaged by late frost. Early fall
frosts may damage fall growth.
Todate Mr. Emert has not found
this true in his field of Talent.
Other advantages of Talent al
falfa is, quick recovery, high yield
especially in late cuttings, and
prevents grass and weed en-
(Todchrncnt. Limiting factors are
lack of resistant to wilt, winter
hardiness where temperatures
drop very low is not yet fully de
termined. In rainy areas, the
early spring development may
make it necessary to use the first
growth for purposes other than
hay because of difficulty in cur
ing. We have not recommended
this variety for Morrow county
due to the disadvantages of sus
ceptibility to bacterial wilt and
the possibility that it might be
injured by winter freezes. If the
planting at the Emert ranch con
tinues to prove as satisfactory as
for the past two years, no doubt
this will become one of the im
portant alfalfa varieties for Mor
row county. Alvin Wagonblast of
Lexington, has .seeded a 15 acre
field this spring .where compari
son will also be made.
Charley Marquart was in town
today from his farm four miles
north of Lexington. He is pre
paring to cut a large acreage of
gain this season and will use a
large combine.
Miss Annie Hynd of Butterby
Flats accompanied by Miss Myr
tle Chandler of Willow Creek
ranch and Mrs. Lawrence Harmon
were Cecil callers in Heppner on
Sunday.
The l'arma Idaho Wool Pool
was sold last week. This .years
wool pool was soki at an average
of .$.57 3 S a pound, grease basis.
This compares with $.55'. for the

wool sold in this years pooj is ex
pected to reach nearly 200,000
pounds. The Parma Wool pool is
made from clips consigned from
around .'(Hi pYodticers. One fourth
of these producers are located in

Alva Jones and family this
week moved to the Jones farm

((resting to watch Raymond
frenen who war; the official calf
dehorner. Raymond was using
two electric dehorners, dehorning
both sides at one time. This was
quick and very effective. W. E.
Hughes, Buttercreek rancher who
used these dehorners last year,
had many comments from buyers
on the clean job of dehorning on
his calves. He feels that he sold
his calves to a disadvantage in
price by having such a clean de
horning job.

A reminder comes from John
Landers, animal husbandryman,
that spring calves will sell from
$.1 to $5.()o per hundred weight
higher next fall if they are cas
trated before they are turned on
to summer range, if the opera
lions are delayed until October
when the cattle are gathered, the
mull calves will have developed
'nine n; lie characteristics s-.ich as
bully heads and shoulders. Young
calves suffer little shock but
would take about two weeks to
receiver next fall and start gain
ing weight again.
Many of our small farm herds
put off castrating and dehorning
until the fall. This is a practice
that is costly to any operator. In
dehorning, burning the horns is
desirable with young calves. Rub
ber bands have not proven too
sati.'-.fiictory in dehorning. Elec
tric dehorners have become quite
popular in the last year or two
with several of our larger range
operators now using the electric
dehorner and like it well. While
visiting the dehorning and cas
trating, and vaccinating opera
tions at the Don (heenup ranch a
couple of weeks ago, it was in
Test in Iowa shows that flies
cost dairymen 3 and 1 ,'i pounds
of milk from each cow for each
day they are permitted to torment
the herd. Comparable losses are
found in decreased meat and
milk in beef animals. As the fly
season draws near, it will pay
every livestock operator to out
line a fly spray program. Oregon
State College news extension cir
cular on livestock pest control
outlines control recommendations
for horn flies as well as lice, ticks,
grubs, sheep ticks, hog lice and
mange. A copy of this excellent
circular is available at the County
Agent's office.
