MORE LIVESTOCK FEEDING URGED
FOR COUNTY BY LOCAL PLANNERS
This Is the fourth in a series)
of briefed reports of committees
taking part in the recent plann
ing conference. This report was
made by the farm crops com
mittee headed by Frank Ander
son with the report presented by
Tad Miller:
Income from farm crops in
Morrow county continued to be
the largest source of farm income
with wheat providing the single
source. During 1957 tarm crops
income was $11,711,136, with
wheat and barley accounting for
$9,860,636 of that amount.
Grain surplusses are still a
problem and one recommended
means for reducing these' sur
plusses Is to increase the amount
of livestock feeding done locally.
A thorough study of both beef
and hog feeding was made and
hog production was especially
recommended by the committee
with numerous figures presented,
it was recommended that a cost
of production study be made on
beef feeding operations.
A sub committee studied the
long time problems of the grain
farmer and the farm program
with these results: The best fut
ure promise appeared to be in a
domestic parity type of farm pro
gram with the possible use of
bushel allotments; the Soil Bank
program should be given further
trial, and the bid system be fav
ored for getting land out of pro
duction; that strip-cropping be
included In provisions of the con
servation reserve.
The committee recommended
that attemots be continued to In
corporate grain alcohol in motor
fuels; that livestock leecnng De
encouraged to dispose of surplus
grain; and that better farm-city
relations be encouraged.
Regarding farm practices, a
roadside grass seeding program
was recommended as a means
of cutting down on growing weed
and rye Infestation problems and
that continued effort be made
to eliminate Morning Glory; and
the high value of alfalfa-grass
crop rotation was explained In
detail with further study sug-1
gested to develop good dry-land

recommendations.

Safety Rules Given
For Kite Flying
March winds moan it's kite
flying time, and time for all par
ents to caution. their children to
stay away from electric power
lines while flying kites.
The following safety rules for
all kite flyers have been sug
gested by Pacific Power & Light
company's local manager, J R
Huffman.
1. Always fly your kite in
an open field or playground, well
away from power lines and poles.
2. Use only dry cord for kite
line.
3. Never use wet string or met
al threads for kite line. These are
conductors of electricity and can
bring about a serious shock from
accidental contact with overhead
wires.
4. If your kite lodges ln a pow
er line, or ln a tree near power
wires leave it there. Don't try to
take it down. Skilled power line
men never take chances with
live wires and neither should
you.

in this area, but a marketing or
ganization would be helpful. The

ies would provide a good income

be continued. The committee
asked for more Information on

n,in nn the effect of fertilizat
ion on the protien content of
