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 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

her experiences in Germany a
year ago, Wednesday night. A
schedule has just ben seet up for

would like to have her appear

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.

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.

THE NEW BEL AIR SPORT COUPE
Who wouldn't mistake this new
Chevrolet for a high-priced car!
It looks strictly "upper bracket"
with its bold new Motoramic styl
ing . . . its longer, lower hood . , .
its proud new full-width grille.
But, even beyond the costly ap
pearance of its beautiful Body by
Fisher, Chevy gives the high-priced
cars a run for their money. It brings
you lightning acceleration for safer
passing. Horsepower ranges up to
205 ! All engines now have hydraulic-hushed
valve lifters.
Besides, you get safety door
latches in all models. You can also
have seat belts, with or without
shoulder harness, and instrument
panel padding at extra cost.
Come highway-test a Chevrolet!
