at the Willamette Valley ram
sale held at Albany. The ani

Gath herds, old time breeders
of Sufolks in the Willamette

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.

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

people should first vote on the
proposed bonding program for
state buildings and the income
tax referral matter if its spon

put it on the ballot.
"It would be illusionary to pro

made their wishes known," the
governor said, adding that he

on what he would recommend
to the 1961 Legislature.
"I think we have gone about
