Results in pounds of beef per acre in 1954 show ladino and grass, 642 pounds; grass and heavy nitrogen fertilizer, 518 pounds. Not only were beef yields more than 20 percent high er from the protein -rich legume, but fertilizer costs for the ladino grass pastures were less than half of those for straight grass pasture. II. L. Schudel, OSC farm crop researcher, says the straight grass pastures received a total of 210 pounds actual nitrogen in seven applications from March to September. Grass-ladino pas tures receive a total of only 72 pounds actual nitrogen In two applications in March and June. The pastures at Corvallis received 20 inches of water from six ir rigation "sets" beginning May 11 and ending August 23. Schudel says small applica tions of nitrogen to grass-ladino irrigated pastures are often need ed to drive out ladino if it be comes heavy enough to present a bloat hazard. About 40 to 50 FAMILY REUNION SET AT LEHMAN SPRINGS The third annual Summers family reunion will be held July 9 though 11 at Lehman . Hot Springs near Ukiah, it has been announced. All members of the reunion clan are urged to make their res ervations immediately unless they plan on staying at the dor mitory and in that case they are asked to notify Helen Wehrll, of Fossil, treasurer of the Summer family reunion clan. Close friends of the family planning to attend are asked to write for reservations stating who they are close friends of. percent legume in a pasture is considered the safe level. The test pastures were seeded in May 1952 with a basic grass mixture of four pounds per acre each of alta fescue, orchard grass, meadow foxtail and Tualatin oat grass. Ladino clover at three pounds per acre was added to this basic mixture for the clover and grass seeding. Schudel traces the high forage yields, in part, to pasture rota tion with 25 days following five days grazing. Small plot trials showed that each week of rest increased yields, on a dry mat ter basis, about 1000 pounds an acre while still maintaining good protein content of the forage.

"Litter Barrels" Making Appearance On State' Highways SALEM "Deposit Litter Bags, V Mile", is the 'inscription on signs the motorist will see at more than 150 Oregon highway lo cations this summer, according to an announcement by R. H. Blalock, state highway engineer. Over 150 green-painted barrels, with white-painted "Deposit Lit ter Bags" have been placed at strategic places along Oregon's 7,500-mile highway system in the department's effort to cut down on costs of keeping the state's highways clean. Several major oil companies and field offices of the secretary of state are cooperating in this effort by providing handy litter bags which may be hung con veniently inside cars for the dis position of waste papers and other garbage. The highway de partment feels that many people will use the new litter barrels to dispose of the garbage, save the bag and use it again for another trip. There are a large number of trash barrels, which have been installed in previous years, and which the Highway Department is also repainting and convert ing to litter barrels. Signs are being placed a quarter-mile on each side of the barrel locations so that the driver may have plenty of tim e to slow down and take advantage of them. o IN HOMETOWN AMERICA WHEM VOO WERE A . jU feiffl came into town i mM -,r:; X" 2HflLJf i?!.!
