Single Copy 10 cents. From The County Agent's Office By N. C. Anderson For those who are selecting re placement heifers or Increasing ihe herd, there are a few things to keep in mind. Select replace ment heifers from this years weaners that have plenty of quality, size, fleshing and thick ness as well as good feet and straight legs. In growing them out, give them the right kind and amount of feed supplement ing it with the protein if neces sary to get them up to GOO pounds by breeding time. Yearling hei fers can be bred to calve at two years old providing they have sufficient size. This adds an other calf to the lifetime pro duction of the cow. In most cases thev must receive special feed to keep them growing until ma turity. Research and lots of practical ranch experience indicate that heifers weighing 600 pounds or more can be bred and success fully calved as two year olds providing they receive this pro per feed and management. The use of small bodies small boned bulls Is recommended to cut down on calving troubles. Some times these heifers need special care at calving time, although those who have experience feel that there are Just as many calv ing troubles with three year olds as with two year olds depending on how they are grown out. There are wheat troubles in other places -besides the United States. A farmer referendum is now in progress on the Australian stabilization program for the next five years. The states of Australia have already approved the plan that provides that growers will receive $1.57 per bushel for ail wheat sold for home consumption, for the crop years 1953-54 through 1957-58 un less the International Wheat Agreement falls below that level. The program also guarantees a price sufficient to cover the cost of production which is set cur rently at $1.41 per bushel. If the wheat prices go above the mini mum guarantee, the government places the excess unds in a pool which is divided among growers, less operating expenses, accord ing to the amount and quality each grower turned over to the Australian wheat board. To in sure that growers receive the cost of production from export sales of up to one hundred million bus hels, a tax as high as 16.8 cents a bushel may be levied on ex ports to maintain a stabilization fund. If returns from export sales fall below the cost of pro duction the stabilization fund will be drawn upon to make the difference. And we heard some of our wheat growers expressing opin ions that there was too much red tape attached to sime of the pro posed programs for wheat here in the United States.

Wheat im ports have risen rapidly from three hundred sixty-four thous and metric tons in 1946 to an esti mated 2.2 million metric tons in 1954. Most of the credit for the increase in this consumption is given to the school lunch pro gram. He goes on to say that the Japanese agree that price wise Pacific .Coast soft wheat is their best buv. There was no complaint found from the Japa nese importers on the price of our Pacific coast wheat. They seemed to think it was the cheapest wheat obtainable anywhere and all that would happen if we low ered the price would be that Canada and Australia would lower their prices corresponding ly.

A., Gordon Boles, director of the export program for the Mil lers National Federation, and Richard Baum, are developing foreign markets for our wheat now.

Those who might have received this report and have not looked through it, would find it worthwhile. The report deals with the possibilities of dis posal of more wheat products in that country. It was interesting to see that the group felt that the school lunch program offered the best possibility for exjKinding the consumption of the wheat pro ducts. Mr. Baum explained that this program has a complete sup port of the trade in all govern ment agencies. The group visit ing Japan were privileged to visit one group and observe the hot lunch in action. It was most impressive.
