From The County Agent's Office By N. C. Anderson Within the past ten days we have visited with several live stock men who have Leptospir osis In their beef herds. This disease is a relatively new one, first recognized in 1944 but not much has been heard of it until the last five or six years. Infec tions are found in most of the counties in the state. The di sease causes abortions and death of mature animals, including cows, bulls and steers. Since in fections have been found in scat tered areas in the county, there are possibilities of further out breaks not yet recognized. In order that Morrow county live stock men can be better informed on the history, types of the di sease, methods of infection, sym ptoms and control, arrangements have been made for a discussion on the disease as part of the annual meeting of the Morrow County Livestock Growers Asso ciation which will be held on January 13 and 13. All livestock men are urged to attend this Important annual meeting to be come better acquainted with the disease as well as other aspects of livestock management. Several authorities of livestock feeding, insect control, and mar keting are scheduled for the program. from Oregon and at least that many from foreign cquntries come here. Farmers who are interested in Monument Grange Installs Officers By Martha Matteson (Too Late for Last Week) The Monument grange held its meeting and installation of offl- nro Tni.-t.iHoH uprp AnHv Rpard- . ... .. il man -i-is. J naving out- oi u.c yuu6 slcV( master; Henry Martin, over For farmers who are interested in forest tree seedlings for wind break plantings, it is now time to order them from the Oregon State Board of Forestry. For eastern Oregon, seedlings available are Grand fir, Noble fir, Chinese arbarvltaq, Ponderosa pine, Aus trian pine, Lodgepole pine, Black locust, Russian Mulberry, Russian Olive and Caragana. I would be glad to assist farmers who are interested In windbreaks in lay ing out one at their farmstead and ordering the trees needed. or women at their farm for a three-week or one-month period can do so by contacting this of fice. Young men and women from Oregon who have returned are available t0 relate their ex periences in these foreign coun tries and show colored slides of living conditions and customs there. One of these Internation al Farm Youth Exchange dele gates, Dorothy Teel, will relate her experiences in Germany a year ago, Wednesday night. A schedule has just ben seet up for other-delegates who have return ed this fall to appear before the groups and outline their experien ces. Donna Lingle, who has just returned from Greece will be available in Morrow county dur ing the week of March 12. She Is being scheduled for dates early in that week now. Groups who would like to have her appear before them should make reser vations at this office. These young people have done much during the past years to make better relationships and to better understand people throughout the world. Boardman and Irrlgon farmers have been invited t0 participate In an artificial Insemination breeding program which is being organized in the Hermiston area this week. Virgil Attebury has recently returned from Corvallis and Tillamook where lie has re ceived training in artificial in semination and will do this work in that area. Livestock men will meet to make final arrangements and to discuss all details on Thursday evening, January' 5. Livestock men who do not have the opportunity to attend this meeting can get further informa tion on the breeding ring at this office. Considerable interest has been shown during the past two years In the International Farm Youth Exchange which is sponsored by 4-H clubs in this state. The pro gram calls for young men and women to spend several months on farms 'n foreign countries learning how farm people live and work there, in exchange with young men and women from other countries who come here. Approximately eight young men and women participate each year Morrow County will be the first eastern Oregon, first beef cattle county to receive distinc tion as a modified, certified, bru cellosis free county. This certifi cate will be presented at the an nual meeting of the Morrow County Livestock Growers Asso ciation to be held January 13 and 14. It Is time for livestock men to be on the lookout for the famil iar grub bumps that are easily found by looking or running a hand over the animals back. These cattle grubs cost millions of dollars each year in produc tion cost of milk and meat. Control measures should begin in thirty or forty days after the first bumps show. Repeat treat ments should be made every thirty to forty days until all grubs are eliminated. Treatment consists of two popular methods, one, that of using a power spray with 400 lbs. pressure and a course driving spray. Froper spraying calls for holding the nozzle twelve to eighteen inches directly above the back. The re commended spraying mixture contains seven and one-half pounds of 5 rotenone powder to one-hundred gallons of water. A household detergent should be used as a wetting agent. Use at least one gallon of spray for each mature animal. The second method which is adapted to smaller herds especially, is the use of dust. Four or five ounces of 5 rotenone sprinkled on the back and worked in with the fingers is an effective control. Whether a spray or dust is used, the rotenone must penetrate into the grub holes to kill the pests. seer; tine siirwan, lecturer, i Henry Cupper, steward; Lyle Van Dusen, assistant steward; Wayne Leathers, chaplain; Rita Cupper, treasurer; Mildred Beardsley, sec retary; Fred McWillis, gate keep er; Lois Bleakman, Ceres; Fran ces Fleming, Pomona; Effle Wed- geworth, Flora; Lois Hill, lady assistant steward.

For those farmers who have been a bit concerned about the recent soil losses from water ero sion, a couple of items picked up from some research reported at a recent meeting of the American Society of Agronomy might be of some interest. It was found that straw mulch is three to four times ts effective as any of the new soil conditioners. The loss of soil with a soli mulch is only one fiftieth that from a bare surface. While we know there is nothing that can be done about changing the slopes of your field, it has been found that soil losses are three times as much on slopes facing the direction of the storm as they are on slopes facing away from the storm. and Mrs Ed.
