There will be federal legation dratlnf with the problem of the medlrat need of the aged. The question Is what kind. One proposal, whkh wcm to have developed considerable kupjmrt, particularly In political circles, would give medical, hospital and nursing home benefit to everyone drawing Social Security payment, whether or not they are In need. The daneer In thi have been pinpointed by Secretary of Health, Induration and Welfare Fleming. The proposal call for a 1 jer cent Increase In the Social Security lax to meet the added cost. Hut thli. the Secretary says, would be Inadequate. In addition, there would be Insistent pressure for Improving the schedule of benefits and lowering age requirement. So the project. In hla words," . . could cully lead to an addition vt I la 5 l r cent to the presently scheduled 9 lr rent rate. Thi Increase, plua the Increase mat win w rrjuirra under the retirement, survivorship, and disability features of the program, could very well bring the payroll lax up to somewhere between 13 per cent and 'JO jx-r rent." mat. coming on iop w u our other laxe. would certainly approach If not reach an unbearable point. The best solution to the problem so far pro poied Is found In the Mill bill, which passed the house bv voice vote. It Is a voluntary plan. It would provide medical aid for the actual needy not evenone who has reached a certain age, rerardlc? s of his financial status. And It Is baaed on federal-state cooperation, with heavy emphasis on local responsibility and administration. It de serve Senate approval, and the rresldenti wj. nature. Industrial News Review From The County Agent's Office By N C ANDERSON Several farmers have dropped by the office since harvest time to discuss variety and the ex perlences of themselves and others In yield, test weight and other characteristics of a good variety. Some have asked about sources of seed and In most cases we have been able to direct them to a source. A number have asked about Alpine barley. We do not have a definite source of Alpine and this office would appreciate very much If there were farmers who had Alpine to sell If they would let us know. Alpine has gained In popularity In the short while It has been grown in Oregon as a winter var lety. It Is by far, the most winter hardy variety we have and has yielded quite well In those areas where It Is best suited. Through our experiences and in visiting with various ones In neighboring counties we find that it appears to do best when seeded after October 1st. At least, we have heard of better ylleds and more people satisfied with the variety when seeded at a later date. iod Is not up to standard, the sow hay have five, alx, seven or eignt pigs, iwo important things In a sow's ration are vit amin A and animal protein. Vit amin A Is normally supplied to the sow through alfalfa hay, either ground or long, or supplied by pasture. The animal protein may be supplied from powdered milk, fish meal, tankage, meat scrap, or a combination of these materials. Most of our good hog growers have learned that they must mix a balanced ration not only for the sows but for getting the little pigs off to a good start as well as growing and finishing them. to Kenneth Smouse, lone topped the market last week with his group of 32 market hogs shipped through the Pendleton Grain Growers swine marketing dept. with a gross price weight per hundred of $20.64. Kenneth Peck Lexington was close behind with $20.47. Smouses hogs yielded 70.2 while recks' yielded 69.2 Most all graded U S No 1. These hog growers along with others in Morrow county are doing a fine job in producing good meat type hogs. Improvement in type as well as gaining ability, size of litter and those things that make for higher profits are not being overlooked by those who intend to stay in the hog busl ness for any length of time. As an example, Kenneth Smouse re cently in farrowing some sows, had an average of 12 pigs each While a 3 pound pig at birth is a very large pig, at least one of the sows farrowed pigs weighing from 3.1 to 3.9 pounds with 3.5 pound average. With this weight, these little pigs can get off to a good start and reach market weight at an early date In order to farrow these kind of litters, sow nutrition la Impor tant, Research has shown that the litter that the sow farrows Is definitely affected by her nu trition during the gestation per ioa. iney nave round that as many as twenty eggs may be shed by the sow at the time of ovulation, and these eggs may be fertilized.

As the summer continues there has been a number of people ask what causes brown areas in their lawn. While these areas may be diseased, we have found few of them to be such. Often you will find hard compacted dry soil if you dig down Into such a spot. Spiking such areas will be of help in getting water penetrate. Sometimes holes re punched and sand or sandy loam added to maintain a more open soil condition and a con tinued penetration of water. Brown areas or a uniform lack of green color can also be a need for more fertility as well as moisture. An application of one of the nitrogen fertilizers at this time of the year will gen erally perk up the lawn and pro long the growing season into late fall with a nice even green color. Some time ago the Western Livestock Marketing Research committee printed a small book let of Information on livestock shrinkage. One of these was pro vided for each county agent's office. Showing it to a number of ranchers, several ask if there would be a possibility of getting more. We have a few copies of J this information booklet on hand on a first come first served basis. .Tlie little booklet is full of In- formation on shrinkage and carries a table giving the actual prices per hundred weight with shrinkage deducted for a given offer. For Instance, with a $25 offer the grower would actually receive $24.50 with a 2 shrink; $21.25 with a 3 shrink; $21 with I a 4 shrink; $23.50 with a 6 shrink and $23 with a 8 shrink. There Is also n table which shows what a person would have to cet In price per hundred weight to compensate for shrink age. For instance. If he wished to net $23 he would need $25.51 with a 2 shrink; $25.77 with 3 shrink; $26.01 with a 4 shrink: $26.60 with a 6 shrink and $27.17 with an 8 shrink, Using these tables the booklet points out that the highest price per pound doesn't necessarily mean the highest return per an lmal. It depends upon how many pounds are counted. A lower pound price on cattle as they stand on your ranch can be more profitable than a higher pound price when the buyer is allowed to subtract too many pounds for shrinkage. For instance, if cattle sold with a pencil shrink are weighed early In the morning with an over night stand, then the buyer is getting the benefit of two shrinkages in the weight. If your animals are moved off the ranch and weighed on scales away from the ranch, the weight of the cattle shrink some more. It's up to you to know how much and to allow for it. If you are interested I am sure you will find the booklet full of Information.

We would line to uunK that our average I lower than the rest of the country and while most of our ranchers are doing a good job In getting their hay up In good shape, there are some Improvements that can be mane One of the modern contrap Hons that I like very well Is the swather. While this Idea has been experimented and played with for many, many "years, It Is only recently, evidently, that satisfactory swathers for alialia hay are being manuiactureil While I grew up in a country where all grain was swathed, I can never remember of hay be ing swathed there must have been a reason. With the newer type swathers that have been Invented, an excellent Job of hay harvesting Is being done There are several In operation throughout the country. While visiting recently at the Krebs Brothers ranch near Cecil, we thought that Dick's enthusiasm for a swather was a bit high. However, in checking with others that are using them, we find that this Is pretty much the same for all. Dick likes the ease and speediness, as well as re placing two mowers and two rakes with one ten foot self- propelled swather. This, of course, cuts aown on neeaea equipment and man power, at the same time lays the swath permanently to be picked up by the baler. We know most hay men would agree that this would be worth a lot as many leaves are Jost in tne rawng process. While some criticized the cutting Job as not being low enough, we have examined the stubble of several fields cut with the swather and cannot imagine why anyone would want to cut the one-inch or less of coarse The family of Mr and Mrs muni U'f lfare officials are tak Oeorpe Smith w lh to extend an Jng Invitation to all friend to at-, .lck,Bg w.aon for cher tend an open houe In honor of- KlHt.torTiol and straw- their SOih wedding "nnlvemry mXeA comparatively on Sunday afternoon.

SUIT INVITED An Invitation to the Harvey Aluminum Co to bring suit In circuit court Immediately to settle the controversy over val uation of the company's plant In The Dalles, was extended by the Oregon Tax Commission Thursday.

The commission said In a letter to the company that "good faith (Continued on Page S) While we arc talking about cattle It might be well to re mind our growers that cattle. grub control may be carried out any time now until the 15th of November. On Tuesday while out on some farm visits, one of our ranchers was spraying his cattle for fly control. This would have been an excellent opportunity to use one of the organic phosphate compounds which are so extrem ely affective in control of grubs if applied properly at the right time. This would have not only given him the grub control which s so important for the best gains and market price of cattle, but also would provide affective con trol for lice and flies. Research by Oregon State College ento mologists indicate there Is no ignificant difference between the results obtained from giving a bolus orally or from spraying. ; Work done at many of the west em colleges as well as exper ience by cattle growers show hat cattle grubs and lice can be affectively controlled with the( same application of these new, sprays.
