Single Copy 10 cents. Another Bcdshcet Ballot The Gazette Times this week completed the task of printing the ballots for the coming primary election, and as do all printers who have a simi lar job, we heaved a sigh of relief when it was finished. It is necessary to print one official bal lot for each registered voter In each precinct, and one half that number of sample ballots. Where there are individual candidates for precinct posi tions, their names must appear on the ballot for that precinct. In addition to name and pfecinct changes, one of the peculiarities of the Oregon voting law says that where there is a contest, each contestant (regardless of his filing number) must have his turn at the head of the list if this is pos sible. Consequently in many Instances the names of aspirants must be rotated so each will appear at the head of the list on an approximately equal number of ballots. Anyone who has any idea of the printing busi ness knows that such a job requires innumerable stops and form changes which drive printers nearly "nuts". . . . but, the printers weren't any worse off than the voters will be when they get a look at what they will put (heir marks on May 18. The Republican ballot nearly nearly resembles In size, the famous Oregon "bedsheet" ballot of four years ago and the Democratic ballot isn't much smaller. Candidates number nearly 100 on the Republican ballot and close to 70 for the Demo crats. In one instance there are 34 aspirants for the state's 10 delegates to the national conven tion, and in other cases there are 12 after one seat. Sample ballots are now available and we sug gest voters pick one up shortly to have time to study it before the election. It will take an hour just to read it, let alone figure out who you want to vote for, so if you don't take a marked sample with you on election day, you're liable to spend half the day in the booth. Selling and the Farmer President Shuman of the American Farm Bu reau Federation recently had this to say: "Too many farmers have assumed that, since everyone must eat, we would always have a market. Poli ticians have followed the same, false reasoning in adopting legislation to fix the prices of farm pro ducts without regard to supply or the demand of consumers. The near tragic result is that we have already lost a large part of our market to substi tute and synthetic products." Mr. Shuman's solution is simple; Better, more intensive selling and promotion of farm products. "Thousands of ... . people," he states, "do not eat enough of the protective foods meat, milk, fruits, and vegetables." In his opinion, stepped-up pro motion by farmers, farm organizations, and other interested groups could greatly expand agricul ture's market. This authority would seem to be on firm ground and he has precedent to point to. To take one example, a number of intensive selling campaigns have been undertaken on behalf of various meats, with producers, packers and re tailers participating. They have produced fine results. So have similar campaigns on behalf of other foods. Salesmanship is all-important to the success of American Industry in every field. Agriculture needs it too. (The Industrial News Review) From The County Agent's Office By N. C. Anderson Several livestock men have been Interested in the results of the beef feeding trials carried on in Umatilla county and reported on at the field day held at the feed yards on April 7. The pur pose of the trials was to see how some of the roughages grown in Umatilla and surrounding coun ties can be used most effectively for beef production. Both steer fattening and wearier calf trials were included In the tests. The fattening steer trials were set up to see if peavine silage can be used as the main roughage and fattening steer rations. In this study, one group of steers recei ved only peavine silage for rough, age. Other groups were fed pea vine silage plus alfalfa or wheat chaff. All the steers received the same amount of concentrate. One group was fed beet pulp in place of half of their millrun and barley to check the value of beet pulp in the fattening ration. The value of Stilbetol in fattening ration was all checked in these trials. The weaner calf trial was set up to see if wheat straw or chaff can be used as the main rough age for weaner calves. Some of the calves in the trial were fed two pounds of an 18 protein supplement each day in addition to wheat straw or chaff. Other calves were fed wheat straw, pro tein supplement and a lagume roughage. Urea was used as part of this protein supplement Another group of calves were fed just wheat straw and a legume roughage. Some Interesting results were obtained, and a detailed report cannot be given here. In the fattening steer trials, the lot with the lowest total cost per pound of gain were fed on thirty seven pounds of peavine silage and 9.3 pounds of a concentrate containing 400 pounds barley, 600 pounds beet pulp, 200 pounds millfeed, 200 pounds cottonseed meal, 110 pounds molasses and 10 milligrams of Stilbestrol. The stilbestrol was fed at the rate of 10 grams per day. Average daily gain was 2.46, with a 16.8 cents cost per pound of gain. To tal cost per pound of gain varied from the low figure to 18.6 cents THIRTY YEARS AGO From Files of the Gazette Times April 29, 1926 In a phone message this morn ing to Mr. and Mrs. M. D.

RUSSELL MILLER 51tfc per pound. All steers in the low cost lot graded good. Actual re turn from each lot has not yet been calculated as the calves were on the Portland market last week The wintering calf experiment varied considerably as to the to tal cost per head per day and since some calves lost weight, total cost per pound of gain could not be determined in all cases. The lot making the highest aver age total gain during the 112 day feed period was a group fed 11.7 pounds of wheat chaff, two pounds of concentrate and one half pound of molasses urea mix per day. Total cost per head per day was 16.7 cents which was not the lowest cost lot. Peavine silage added to this ration brought down the total cost per head per day but brought up the total cost per pound of gain. There was approximately a ten cent total cost per pound of gain between the wheat chaff fed steers and the lot where peavine silage was added. Copies of the experiment results can be made available to those who are interested. A number of farmers have received a personal invitation to attend the Nomad alfalfa field day at the E. F. Burlingham and Sons farm near Echo. Others are invited t0 attend, however, they are asked to notify Burlinghams, as they are planning a lunch at noon and need to know the num bers. The field day will be held on Thursday, May 3, beginning at 10:30 a. m. The farm is located twelve miles up the Umatilla river from Echo. Those who at tend the field day will see Nomad alfalfa growing under all kinds of conditions irrigated and non irrigated. Seedings will range from ten year old stands to those established this spring. With the wide interest in Nomad alfalfa in Morrow county, with over a ton of seed put in here last year, with the possibility of a lot more dry land seeded to alfalfa, far mers are urged to see for them selves what this new alfalfa va riety is doing. Last week a group of farmers met to develop allocation proce dures for Omar and Columbia, the two new wheats released for increase last fall. These farmers agreed that applications for Omar and Columbia would be accepted until June 30, at which time.'applications would be acted Continued on Page 5 LIVESTOCK MARKET Cattle Hogs Sheep SALE EVERY TUESDAY 12 Noon On U.
