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.

Some farmers have been asked
about the Safflower dropuction
plans for Morrow County. For
those of you who missed the dis
cussion at last weeks fall meet
ing of Ihe Morrow County Wheat
growers Association, we have in
formation, a sample of the seed
and contracts in this office. While
approximately 500 acres have
been indicated for seeding next
spring, the Pacific Oilseeds Com
pany is still interested in con
tracting with farmers for limited
acreages.
Did you notice that the parity
ratio is down to 87, the lowest

one point. Farm prices have
dropped nine points in the
past two months. They are now
7 points (37c) below a year ago.
AT THE
standing increase in bread con
sumption in Japan. 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. The special grain commission
composed of E. O. Pollock, wheat
marketing specialist from the U.
S. D. 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. Dick intends to be back
for a report on this missions find

Report No. 1 from Tiichard
Baum, executive Secretary, Ore
gon Wheat Growers League, now
in Japan with a special grain
mission, is quite interesting to
look through. 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. He points out that
at the present time there are
ahout 4.8 million primary school
children in the school lunch pro
gram out of a total of 12 million
primary school children. There
are an additional 5.8 million se
condary school children who1
have no school lunch program.
