Chronic bloat showed up In 7 out of 13 off spring of "bloater" bulls mated to a "bloater" cow or to cows closely related to the bulls, less than 4 in the regular breed ing herd were "bloaters". registered Suffolk sheep is con sistantly thinking of improving the quality in that herd. Sat urday Don purchased two rams at the Willamette Valley ram sale held at Albany. The ani mals bred from the Dragger and Gath herds, old time breeders of Sufolks in the Willamette valley. The addition of these two rams should assist Don in im proving even further the quality of his flock. Recent feeding trials have shown that fast gaining bulls sire fats gaining calves. These trials are proof of the value of performance testing beef cattle. Fast gaining bulls also require less feed per 100 pounds of gain, and they pass the ability along to their offspring. In a recent Kansas experiment feeding trial three different bulls a slow gain er, a medium gainer, and a fast gainer, were bred to three groups of cows of similar age, weight and type. Calves sired by each bull were fed for 232 days after weaning. Calves sired by the fast gaining bull not only gained 62 more pounds than those sired by the slow gainer but did It on 94 pounds less feed. Medium gaining calves outweighed the slow gainers by 30 pounds and required 61 pounds less feed.

While no actual yield fig ures could be calculated It was interesting to note the change in the amount of wheat being de livered to the tank in the double fertilized area compared with Governor Holmes had invited the governors to Oregon to par ticipate in the Centennial cele bration but the bid was unsuc cessful, partly because of, the statehood promotion.

We are we are certain that this heavy fertilizing rate would not be sound, economically, It proved that such heavy application had no depressing effect. In taking samples of wheat from both areas there was no apparent dif ference In the plumpness and paper. Joe's appointment was the result of a demand for an addit ional agent in Morrow county made by many Individuals and a number of farm and commodity organizations. He will work on all phases of the extension pro gram in the county Including adult and 4 II club work. As he becomes acquainted with the people we hope we will be bettor able to servo everyone. Joe has been acquainting himself this week with the problems and op portunities In the Boardman and Irrigon communities. It is hoped that a stronger program dealing with irrigation methods and crops grown in that area can be given more attention than has been the case in the past. We know Joe will like it in Morrow county and we hope you will be come acquainted with him soon. sure that there are others that have found this same thing true, however, there have been many comments that some wheat was hurt this year due to fertilization.

DEMOCRATS MUSTER Oregon Democrats have a ble job in the selection of a state chairman to succeed the late David Epps, the successful, forth right and friendly soul who died seven weeks ago. Some hundred leading Demo crats met Sunday at the Mult nomah Hotel in Portland to spec ulate on the state chairman sel ection problem. Howard Morgan, a former state chairman, was dir ect and emphatic that the party needed an overhauling. He deplored the lack of spirit the present, the Board of Control decided Thursday. Before leaving for San Juan, Gov Mark Hatfield, chairman of the board, said he did not believe that the board should go any further on the program until after the Novem ber 1960 election. He said the people should first vote on the proposed bonding program for state buildings and the income tax referral matter if its spon sors get enough signatures to put it on the ballot. "It would be illusionary to pro ceed until after the people have made their wishes known," the governor said, adding that he is not ready to commit himself on what he would recommend to the 1961 Legislature. "I think we have gone about as far as we should proceed be fore we can undertake any new financial obligations," the gover nor declared. "Only one of the properties now being acquired in the mall area will be demolished for ad ditional parking space," William Ryan, secretary of the board, said.
