What Kind?
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,

on federal-state cooperation, with heavy emphasis
on local responsibility and administration. It de

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.

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.

There are several In operation

thought that Dick's enthusiasm

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

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

by Oregon State College ento
