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

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
