During the past number of
years there have been flurries
of interest In creep feeding calv
es on range In the summer. In
terest seems to follow the fluct
uation of calf prices. Higher calf
prices bring greater interest.
There Is no hard and fast rule for
recommending creep feeding for
calves. Several factors must be
considered, some of which de
pend on individual farm and
ranch programs, that Is, availa
bility and cost of suitable equip
ment, labor and feed. Other fact
ors that will determine profit
from creep feeding are: (1) Age
of cows extra gain on calves
from two-year old cows. (2) The
fall calf price when calf pric
es are high In the fall (for ex
ample 30c steers) the extra gain
will be worth more. (3) Feeder
contacts some feeders want
calves that are started on grain,
others prefer green calves. (4)
Bloom during dry summers and
short grass, calves will come off
the cow with more bloom. In
two of Nebraska tests (1956-57)
calves on creep ration consumed
an average of 420 pounds creep
feed per head and gained 58
pounds a head more than those
without creep feed. At 3&C per
pound for creep rations the extra
58 pound gain cost $14.70. If
calves bring 25c at weaning time,
creep feeding would have return
ed $14.50 (58 pounds at 25c). If
bring 30c at weaning, creep feed
ing would have returned $17.50
(58 pounds at 30c). This does
not take into account a possible
higher or lower price for creep
fed calves.
A couple of weeks ago 'an in
spection tour was held with rep
resentatives of the Oregon State
college and Pendleton branch
experiment stations and weed
chemical companys to inspect
morning glory control plots es
tablished during the past two
or three years. Of special inter
i'st was a check on the results
of TBA and PBA, new chemicals
which promise to be helpful for
control of this weed. During the
inspection tour the five weed
men participating made inde

centage control. One of the plots
visited was that of Garland
Swanson, lone, established in
early June 1957. This area con
tained twelve plots using five
different chemicals at different
rates. Each plot was replicated
three times. The five man team
agreed on percentage of control
In most cases but in one case
they were unanimously in agree
ment. This was in the case of
control with three different rates
of application of ammine 2,4-D.
All agreed that there was a 100
control where 20 pounds, 40
pounds, and 80 pounds of this
material had been applied. The
general recommendation for con
trol of morning glory by the use
of 2,4-D has been at the rate of
2 to 3 pounds per acre. Next best
control came with a 640 pound
application of sodium chlorate
which gave a 98.27 control.
This compared closely with a 40
pound application of the new
chemical 2,36 TBA with a per
centage control of 96.477. Ten
and twenty pounds of the same
material showed over 90 con
trol. 40 pounds of comparable
chemical PBA gave an 83.27
control. While little work has
been done In this area on the
control of morning glory through
heavy applications of 2,4-D, it
appears as though there might
be some value in trying the
higher rates under farm field
conditions. If this rate of appli
cation would control morning
glory like it did in these plots
it would be the most economical
way of controlling morning glory
that we now know of.
Last Friday the USDA report
ed that the nation's spring pig
crop was only 2 larger than
last year. These pigs will make
up most of the market supply
during the next six months. At
the same time, the department
survey showed farmers planned
to increase farrowings this fall
by 13. If this increase mater
ializes and is followed by simi
lar Increase next spring, the sup
ply available for marketing in
1959 will be at least 10 great
er than in 1955. That is the year
when hog prices at Portland
dropped from around $24 in June
to less than $13 in December.
The results of the cattle grub
systemic trials in Oregon in 1957
58 have been recently summar
ized by Bob Every, extension en
tomologist, OSC. Cooperating in
Morrow county with this trial
was Bernard Doherty, Heppner.
Twelve herds were treated with
boluses. Eleven of these treat
ments were made between the
period November 6 to 20. Ob
servations were made to deter
mine control of the common cat
tle grub which varied from 72
to 100. Control of the northern
cattle grub varied from 81 to
100. The Bernard Doherty herd
treated November 15 showed a
75 control. Trolene, the syste
mic material used, has been re
leased for sale and will be avail
able for the 1958 treating season.
Ranchers in four midwest states
using the material under field
conditions last fall reported an
average of 90 control of grubs.
There will be other preparations
also on the market for use this
fall.

FIRST PETITIONS FILED
The first petition to be filed
for the November general elect
ion ballot was delivered Friday
to the elections division of the
Secretary of State. The initiative
measure would permit school
teachers to serve as members of
the Oregon Legislature.
The Oregon Educational As
sociation, sponsors of the petition
and solicitors of signatures, said
they had 60,000 signers, approx
imately 15,000 more than nece
ssary. This number should secure
the measure a place on the bal
lot even if more than the aver
age number of signatures proved
to be those of illegal voters or
had incorrest addresses.
OEA created the initiative
measure when one of its mem
bers, former State Representa
tive Tom Monaghan (D) Mil
waukie, was disqualified as a
legislator because he was a
school teacher.
There are six other petitions
which were circulated that are
not expected to have the requir
ed number of signatures. They
would:
Prohibit the manufacture and
sale of liquor.
Regulate the sale of gasoline
at a fair price to dealers.
Curtail the tax commission's
powers to supervise in property
assessments.
Give homemakers a tax rate
of half that of other property
owners.
Set up a state commission for
development of power.
Prohibit commercial fishing for
steelhead.
Twelve other measures will
appear on the ballot, as they
were referred to the vote of the
people by the Legislature. They
would:
l.Direct the Legislature to en
act laws permitting calling of a
special grand jury under un
usual conditions. 2. Repeal ob
solete constitutional provisions
describing state boundaries on
(he Columbia River. 3. Authorize
discontinuing certain state insti
tutions or altering their use. 4.
Make possible for property taxes
levied against property includ
ed in an urban redevelopment
or renewal project to be divided
so that levies against any in
creases in value shall be used
to pay indebtedness incurred in
completing project. 5. To elimi
nate a death penalty for first
j degree murder. 6. Authorizes
Legislature to fix maximum debt
j limits for counties. 7. Would in
'crease salaries of legislators
' from $600 to $1200 a year. 8. In
creases money that may be usea
to make farm and home loans
to veterans. 9. Authorizes Legis
lature to determine use of state
institutions outside of Marion
county, after 10 years from date
of election which located the in

COST MILLIONS TO MOVE
Consulting engineers of the
State Board of Higher Education
told the board Wednesday that
replacing or moving Oregon
Technical Institution closer to

Engineers' estimates were
made high because of still-rising
costs, and would vary with
distance from large population
centers.
The cost of operating the
school is high because it is not
close to a large market area.
The engineering form of Stev
ens and Trapp in a survey last
year reported that the present
OTI buildings are inadequate
and cost of operation Is high due
to location.
