Single Copy 10 cents. From The County Agent's Office By N. C Anderson On Friday of last week, John green grass and the good fall we Landers, extension animal hus bandman, Oregon State College, assisted with the annual grading of the 1955 calf crop at the Frank Anderson ranch. This program which is aimed at quality im provement through selection of top gaining and high grading off spring has been carried on by Anderson for a number of years. Oregon State college has been as sisting for the past five years. Calves are weighed and graded at weaning, yearling, and one and half years of age. Through selection from this improvement program carried on, the weaning weight and quality has Increased each year. A great number of the calves this year graded two plus with a few, one-minus grades. Through the grading weighing and selection program, Frank has not only culled his heifers and cows for his breeding herd but has found which herd sires will cross best with various lines of breeding in his cow herd. He has constantly strived for the kind of bulls that will produce top calves, and only recently with upgrading his herd purchased a herd sire from the Wyoming Hereford Ranch. The herd bull was purchased at the WIIR pro duction sale last month and will be used with the three other herd sires which Frank has. had been having until the wea ther took a sudden change. If ranchers continue to feed hay over a long period of time such as it appears they might have to do now, hay might become quite scarce before spring. At the price of hay, such as it is now, it is extremely high to feed stock cat tle. Barley can be bought for from eight to ten dollars above hay. It might be advisable for some ranchers to supplement their home-grown lesser quality hays with some of the grain that might be available. A supplement of three to four pounds of barley or similar grain might be cheap er than expensive legume hay. One pound of barley can replace two pounds of hay. Of course barley cannot replace hay en tirely in the cow diet, as they need roughage, but it can re place a considerable amount of hay which might, besides being expensive, be hard to get. By the looks of the weather out side, it might be timely to remind that ice cold water is not for the birds or cattle either according to research finding from some of the colder states. Egg and milk production are usually higher when animals get water that has been slightly warmed. Animals will drink more water when it is about forty-five degrees than whe nit is near freezing. Most ranches now have electricity available at various locations around the farmstead where It would be easy to hook up small thermostatically controlled water warmers for tanks. Talking about winter, It might be a long one if the weather con tinues as we have had it the past week. Most ranchers were quite happy about the great amount of 4-H LIVESTOCK PROJECTS GETS UNDER WAY 4-H Livestock club members in Morrow county are off to a good start in the new 4-H club year and can be proud of this start when National 4 II Achievement Day was observed on Saturday, November 12. Most popular this fall, is the fat beef project which has almost doubled last year's enrollment. Sheep continue to be a popular project, especially for younger members and girls. Swine projects have continued to grow since the first 411 pig scramble, sponsored as part of the county fair. In this pig .scramble, many boys and girls get a start through catching a gilt which is their own. The gilt or one of its litter is exhibit ed at the county fair. Those who got started in the pig business this year in that manner, were Tommy Pointer, Bernard Doherty and Russell Dolven, Lexington; Roland Ekstrom, lone; Mike Spike, Echo; Nat Webb, Merlin Hughes, and Jerry Anderson, Heppner. In the fat beef project, sixteen boys and girls have steers on feed now for the Oregon Wheat Growers League sponsored fat stock show and sale. Those club members are Joe and Carol Ann Palmer, Karl Beach, Dennis and Roger Doherty, Don Casteel, Dan ny Dardwell, and Russell Dolven of the Lexington livestock club, Larry and Robert Campbell and Billy Doherty of the Butter Creek Junction livestock club, Gary Van Blokland and Donald Hughes of the Heppner livestock club, Roland Ekstrom, Skip Emert and Kenneth Smouse of the lone live stock club.
