While talking of livestock mar
keting, many articles have beer,
noted of late on the trend of live
stock marketing. Research done
by Oregon State College last year
reveals that in 1955 71 per cent
of the cattle, 59 percent of the
calves, 55 percent of the hogs and
sheep arrived at Portland Union
stock yards on Monday. The idea
of shipping livestock to a termi
nal market for sale the first day
of the week started a long time
ago. At Portland, in particular,
it starter about 1909, Just about
when the market opened.
Rail schedules then were such
that livestock arrived at the yards
over the week-end for sale on
Monday. The market at that time
too, was more dependent on buy
ers from the Puget Sound country
and they were only on the mar
ket one day each week. A con
certed effort is being made now
across the country by people in
all segments of the' livestock In
dustry to get farmers to spread

ter. Here is an example of how
the college found that prices
might vary.
One week last January, 3200
cattle were received on the mar
ket for Monday, and only 500 for
the rest of the week. The market
broke at $1.50 that week. Two
weeks later, they reeived 2400
cattle on Monday, 500 on Tues
day, 600 on Wednesday and 200
on Thursday. The market was
steady and active all week. Of
course, spreading receipts out also
helped the stockyards people.
They are able ti make better
use of their facilities and give
better service to their shippers. A
question that is most often asked
by farmers about the five-day
market at a terminal market Is
whether or not the buying power
holds up during the week. Within
particular reference to Portland,
there were about 90 bonded buy
ers at the market. They or their
agents are on the market every
day of the week. Those who
might like to steady this live
stock marketing trend a little
further are referred to an excel
lent article in the last copy of

Brand Inspection
Needs Told Stockmen
Livestock theft investigators for
the state department of agricul
ture are finding increasing num
bers of livestock moved or slaugh
tered without brand inspection.
Therefore, the department is
again calling livestock owners'
attention to the fact that state
law requires all cattle moved
over Oregon highways or sold
through public markets to be
brand inspected by any one of
the 100 state brand inspectors
located throughout the state.
Stockmen may contact their

Farm Management on this same
subject.
With the announcement this
past week of Howard J. Doggett
as Director of the soil bank di
vision, it appears that an able
person has been put in charge.
Mr. Doggett has an active back
ground in the U. S. Department
of Agriculture's various farm pro
grams. Mr. Doggett was raised
on a ranch in Broadwater county,
Montana and is a graduate of
the University of Montana and
has been actively engaged in
farming and ranching all his life.
He now owns and operates a
large ranch in Meagher county,
where he raises cattle and sheep.
Soil Bank programs developed
under Mr. Doggett's direction for
1957 will be announced and sent
to the field in the near future.

New Seed Treatments!
Resistant Varieties
Turn Wheat Smut Tide
Pacific Northwest wheat grow
ers are in the best position ever
to combat wheat smut that costs
the regoin millions of dollars
each year, report Oregon State
college scientists.
The tide is being turned with
a combination of the highly smut
resistant new wheat varieties,
Omar and Columbia, plus a new
seed treatment to control soil
borne spores of common smut
(bunt). The potent, double-barrelled
weapon comes at a time
when smut incidence has bgen
on the upswing for about 10
years.
Seed treatment with hexach
lorobenzene (HCB) marks the first
satisfactory attempt to control
soil-borne smut spores. The
treatment does not completely
eliminate smut from soil-borne
spores, but it proved 4 to 7 times
more effective than the long
used, standard mercury treating
materials for reducing smut in
regional tests this year. The
program is under the supervision
of C. S. Holton, U. S. department
of agriculture plant pathologist
stationed at the State College of
Washington.
Although Omar and Columbia
are resistant to all known races
of smut, seed should be treated
to prevent or delay the rise of
new smut strains, says Chester
Home, OSC plant pathologist
Throueh the years, smut has ex
hiblted an uncanny ability to
maintain itself with new races

tant wheat varieties.
HCB is 40 percent formulations
gave good protection against
both soil-borne and seed-borne
smut spores. The old mercury
treatments destroy seed-borne
spores but give no protection
against soil-borne spores that
plague winter wheat growers.
Soil-borne smut germinates In the
fall, along with winter wheat,
and infects the wheat plant seed
lings. As a seed treatment, HCB Is
specific for "stinking smut." Un
fortunately, it will not control
other smuts of wheat nor the
smuts of oats and barley. Neither
will it control any other diseases
that might occur in these crops.
Details for treating seed with
HCB may be obtained from the
county extension agents. HCB is
slightly cheaper than mercury
materials and presents no health
hazard to applicators or seed
handlers. Mercuric materials are
poison and require extreme cau
tion in handling.
Farm field trials this year in
the normally-heavy smut area of
northern Sherman county showed
only one-fourth as much smutty
wheat from HCB-treated seed as
from the mercury treatment.
Ninety percent of Sherman
county's seed stock was treated
last year with HCB. The pro
gram was a result of cooperation
between commercial seed treat
ers and Thomas Thompson, Sher
man county agent; William Hall,
superintendent of the OSC Sher
man branch experiment station;
and Horner.
In commercial field trials near
Pullman, Dr. Holton reported that
mercury-treated areas had 4 to 7
times more smut than the HCB
treated areas. Dr. Holton says
these results, together with those
of previous years, show that HCB
provides highly significant mea
sure of protection against soil
borne common smut which makes
it a preferred treatment for win
ter wheat.
