Pog4 OSC Research Shows Herefords Oufgain Brahman Crossbreds Braham and Hereford crossbred cattle are not recommended lor Eastern Oregon beef production. Two year tests by Oregon State college researchers show that cross breds don't measure up to Herefords in wintering gain or in carcass grade.

Check Your Cleaning Needs Now To be certain you will have necessary cleaning done be fore our shutdown period. For special cleaning needs we accept garments until Thursday, July 14 for delivery on Saturday, July 16. Heppner Cleaners first generation Hereford and Brahman crossbreds were used in the study. Twenty from each group were tested in 1951, 14 in 1952. The animals were com pared as weaners on a winter growing ration and as yearlings on sagebrushbunchgrass range, plus meadow aftermath feeding, at the Squaw Butte-Harney branch experiment station at Burns. Thpn they were moved to the Malheur experimental area near Ontario for dry-lot feeding trials. And from now on the "seat" is no trouble at all. Hot, rubberized baby pants are now out of date.

Here are the results of the tests: weaners little difference in win ter earn showed up in a mna winter. But in a severe winter, Herefords gained more than cross breds. Yearlings the crossbreds made higher average daily gains while on sagebrush bunchgrass range and continued to gain slightly more on meadow aftermath than did Herefords the first year. In the second year, crossbred heifers eained more than any other group on the meadow, but cross bred steers gained the least. Drv-lot feeding Hereford steers gained more per day than crossbred steers. Feed costs per pound of gain were 2 cents greater for crossbreds. There was no difference between heifers of both groups. Dressing percentage between the groups was about the same, but a higher percentage of Here ford carcasses grade choice than did crossbred carcasses. There was no difference in percentage of wholesale cuts of meat. Conducting the research were E. N. Hoffman, superintendent of the Malheur experimental area; W. A. Sawyer, superintendent of the Squaw Butte-Harney cooper ative range and livestock branch station; Farris Hubert, formerly assistant animal husbandman at Squaw Butte; Ralph Rogart, OSC professor of aimal husbandry; and A. W. Oliver, associate pro fessor of animal husbandry. Further details are reported in an OSC experiment station bul letin. "A Comparison, Brahman and Herefords."

Gazette Times Classifieds Pay I The Federal Communications Commission has long shown the absurdity of setting up control bureaus in government without requiring that at least a part of the members are from the ranks of Independent business. The FCC has complete utter control' tlon't air waves, and, presumably is charged with enforcing fair- I- 1L.I. HFBI 111 turn : sa use. in, sH,l;, i, . wnat IS COD- c. W. Harder sldcred a very flagrant abuse of fairness. On television programs, be tween programs there are usual ly placed two 20 second spots. In between there is a short ten sec ond spot known as a station iden tification spot, or break. Under FCC rules, between programs a station must identify itself in some manner. So television stations have worked out a method of produc ing revenue from this identifica tion break. Usually, for about half the cost of a 20 second spot, a sponsor can buy a ten Second spot for his product, but the up per one-fourth, or one-third of the area must be taken up by the station's call letters. . However, National Broadcast ing Company is owned by RCA which makes televisions and other appliances. A growing chain of stations is also owned by Westinghouse, which also makes a full line of appliances. In addition, Columbia Broadcast ing Company also makes and markets CBS TV sets.

Ken tlllll AT THE DAN I i Saturday JULY 16 So now the practice has started that during these 10 second spots, not only are station call letters given, but it Is also Identified as Westinghouse, RCA, et al. Thus, every change of pro gram, free advertising is per mitted over the air for the ap pliances manufactured by these few firms who also own television stations. This In turn gives them a wide edge over all other competitors, as none of the competition has any way of getting beer, bread, or other advertisers, to pay the cost of flashing their appliance brand name on the television screens of the nation. In many areas, especially where an NBC and a Westing house station practically control the television outlets, this has been found to work a disadvan tage to the independent distribu tors and retailers of all the other brands of television, radio, re frigerators, ranges, and other appliances. Of course it probably would be unfair to say that FCC members knowingly permit this practice. But as in most bureaucracies, there is lacking in the member ship qualified people who would recognize the unfairness of inch procedures. But one thing is sure. Any Independent distributor seeking to sell some other brand of appliances realizes that having the brand name of Westinghouse flashed on the local television screen every half hour, Is not at all helpful to him. And as for those who pay for such Identifica tion spots which also promote an appliance brand name. It could truly be said that never have so many been soaked so much for the benefit of so few. ..A AND Morrow County ADMISSION $1.50 PER PERSON Hay Tops Silage In Lamb Trials a mialirv hav rated higher than either pea or barley silage or a hay-silage combination as muehaee in lamb fattening ra tions during one-year trials re ported by the Oregon State col lege agricultural experiment m- tion. Rnth shorn and woolet lambs fed outside for 90 days last fall at the OSC Eastern Oregon branch experiment station gained about 20 percent faster on hay than on siiacrp Ahnut one-third of the total ration in all cases consisted of wheat and cull peas. Cecil Pierce, branch station animal husbandman, said it was also 10 percent cheaper to put on a pound of gain with hay at last fall's prices. Lamb gains were about the same from hay or the 50-50 hay silage combination, but more feed was required to put on a pound of gain with the combi nation roughage. Again, the straight hay ration was about 10 percent cheaper per pound of gain. Pierce attributed poorer gains from silage to its high water con tentabout 70 percent which restricted intake of crude protein. In all cases, shorn lambs made faster gains.
