An Answer Will Come
President Eisenhower early this week faced up
to one of the most important decisions he has yet
had to make the acceptance or rejection of the
farm bill. He rejected the answer that Congress
had given because he felt that the bill given to
him didn't answer anything. He was in one of
those situations where, "he was damned if he did
and damned if the didn't."
In this country the farm problem is of course
uppermost in the minds of most, and from what
we can determine, many farmers, though they
don't like the way things are going, seem to feel
that probably a veto was for the best. The bill
didn't solve any problems. Some indicate that
"all is lost'' for this year, but we can't quite go
along with that feeling for we think the President,
in his Monday night talk on radio and television,
handed the problem right back to Congress, where
it belongs, and along with it, gave them the sug
gestion of a solution.
Ike had previously asked for the Soil Bank
idea and Congress approved it in the recent bill,
only they cluttered it up so badly with other
ideas that it would have been entirely ineffective.
In his talk he asked for it again with the addi
tional provision that it be made partially effective
on this year's crop by giving farmers one-half
of the soil bank benefits if they sign up for the
program. The idea is in keeping with the admin,
istration's overall program and in addition offers
help for the current crop year something the
Congress-passed bill did not do.
Whether the soil bank is the ultimate answer
to the farm problem, we certainly cannot say, yet
it approaches the question from a logical angle
and is the best long-range idea yet developed by
either republicans or Democrats. The ball has
been tossed back 'to Congress and we look for
it to come up with some acceptable bill either
during the remainder of the present session
or if necessary, at a special session later in the
year. However it may come, we think some ans
wer to the farm problem will be found. It is our
number one problem within the country and it
can't be ignored for another year.

The Squaw Butte-Harney ex

the keeping of livestock records
on all animals not involved in
detailed specific experiments. He
would also assist the research
staff in care and record keeping
on detailed experiments. They
wish a man with either no family

age. Anyone interested should
contact superintendent, VV. E.
Sawyer at the experiment station..
Kenneth reck, Lexington far
mer, has just farrowed out three
sows in farrowing crates using
the plans developed by Oregon
State College. Kenneth says that
the crates work well and cut
down a big portion of the risk
of sows laying on little pigs. He
thinks that it is necessary to be
with them at farrowing time
though, even with the use of far
rowing crates. Kenneth Smouse,
lone, has used the farrowing
crates for three or four years and
is very well pleased with the re
sults at farrowing time.
Several farmers have, in the
past week, applied Dalapon to
small acreages of stubble in ex
perimenting with chemical sum
mer fallow. Rates of application
vary but the common rate is
five pounds per acre. A quart of
3.34 pound material 2,4-1) is be
ing added to the Dalapon for
broadleaf weed control. In an
effect to get information addi
tional to the effect on cheatgrass,
volunteer grain, and broadleaf
control, experiments were set up
this week at the Gar Swanson
and Kenneth Peck ranches to
sample soil moisture and nitro
gen content of the sprayed stub
ble, compared to that worked in
the regular summer fallow
method. Soil moisture samples
were taken soon after plowing
and the application of the chemi
cal, and will bo followed up with
sampling during the year. Ni
trogen content of the two types
of summer fallow will be deter
mined before seeding time. De
tails are being worked out now
in cooperation with Farm Chemi
cals, Athena, and Inland Chemi
cal of Heppner in an experiment
using various rates of Dalapon
applied with various volumes of
water.
Kenneth and L. A. Palmer re
cently sold their yearling steers
which were fed on barley and al
falfa hay this past winter. The
barley and hay fed, was raised
on the farm and Kenneth be
lieves was marketed to very good
advantage through the steers.
The steers averaged 745 pounds
the day they were sold. The
calves were taken to the sales
yard a couple of days before be
ing sold and the selling weight,
Compared to that when delivered,
was approximately a 25 pound
shrink. The steers made at least
a 250 pound gain from weaning
time. The steers were fed ap
proximately 125 days. They were
fed no more than seven pounds
of barley per day at their peak
consumption and about ten
pounds of hay. High market
price of $18.10 per hundred, low
$17.20.
A recent announcement was to
the effect that there will be no
411 sale at the Pacific Interna
tional Livestock Exposition at
Portland in 195(5. The 4-H and
FFA livestock will be sold in the
stockyard through a sales pro
gram worked out with the com
mission firms of the North Port
land yards. It is believed that
the educational experience for
the young people in this type of
marketing will be greatly im
proved over the previous sales
method.
An interesting and educational
two days were spent last week
at the North Portland Stockyards
and Swift and Company plant.
During the two days Eastern Ore
gon agents had the opportunity
to grade live animals (cows,
heifers, steers, lambs, swine) and
to follow these through to the
packing plant to compare live
animal grades with process
grades of USDA meat inspectors.
College veterinarians, E. M. Dick
enson, Herb Muth and Paul H.
Allen discussed livestock di
seases and parasites in a round
table discussion during the after
noon. One-half day was spent
with representatives of the state
department of agriculture in dis
cussing the meat inspection pro
gram brand inspection, testing
and care of scales and brucellosis
control work.
Three dairy heifer calves from
the Tillamook Dairy Herd Im
provement Association were re
ceived this week by Kenneth Pal
mer, Lexington, and by John and
Nancy Cleveland. Two of the
calves were Guernseys, one Hoi
stein. They are from excellent
producing cows and were select
ed from heifers kept by Tilla
mook dairymen as replacement
stock. These should add to the
other good producing Tillamook
cows and heifers in Morrow
county.
The 4-H Clubs 0f lone have
invited 4-H members ami their
parents from other communities
in the county to their 4-H Club
Sunday services at the Commun
ity church in lone on April 22.
4-H Club Sunday has been obser
ved in the Community church
in lone for several years and has
won itself quite a recognition
throughout Oregon. 4-H Club
members plan and present the
church services on this Sunday.
A livestock tour and judging
contest held last Sunday after
noon amongst members of the
Buttercreek Junction Livestock
club was an outstanding event.
Approximately thirty-five club
members and parents took part
in the tour. The judging contest
was held at the William J. Do
herty ranch, using fat steers
being fed as projects by Bernard
and Billy Doherty. Control of
grubs was discussed at the Dan
Blewett ranch with Jack Lieual
len's two fat steers. Also visiting
during the day were sheep, swine
and beef projects carried by
Gene, Larry, and Robert Camp
bell, sheep projects carried by
Phyllis Nelson and Billie Gott
schalk and beef projects carried
by Sandra and Carlene Rhea.
