them started to eat In cold
weather.
A trial conducted at the Utah
exjierlment station comparing
creep feed for lambs resulted
In 0.50 pound average dally gain
when rolled barley only, was
fed as the creep ration. 063
pounds average dally gain, was
made on a 70 rolled barley
and 30 mollasses dried beet
pulp ration; 060 pounds on 50
rolled barley. 30 chopped oats,
10 molasses dried beet pulp
and 10 cottonseed oil meal.
Relatively simple feed rations
for creep feeding will often give
good results If the creep pen Is
well arranced. If the feed Is
kept fresh. If the IngredlenU are
of high quality and palatanie.
Pelleting Increases consumption
and will pay where pelleted feed
can be obtained economically
A visit last week at the Don
Crecnup ranch on Hlnton Creek
revealed that he has evidently
met many of the requirements
In creep feeding as indicated
by the looks of the lambs and
the amount of creep that they
are consuming. The creep Is lo
cated in a building where the
sheen are kept at night and
close to the feed racks for the
ewes. Lambs ev idently are using
ho creep freely and appear to
be making good dally gains.

The month of March marks
p a nice record of rainfall which
makes crop prospects consider-
bly more optimistic than they
looked two months ago. Rain
record cooporators, Don Helkler,
of the west lone area reports
30 Inches while Harry Proud
foot, of the Butercreeic Junction
community measured 2 03; At
these two farms the greatest
amount of rainfall received In
24 hour period was a third
of an Inch. This was not the
case In some communities In the
county where heavy rainfall
caused considerable runnoff and
soil erosion. Generally, however,
all was welcome and damages
done was not too great With
over five Inches of rainfall since
the first of the year In most
communities, all we are hoping
for now Is periodic rains In the
next three months.
When the word "subsidy" Is
mentioned, many people think
only In terms of aid to farmers.
The question then comes up as
to whether any group except
farmers are helped by subsidies.
To help answer this question,
lets look first at the USDA bud
get request for 1961, and see how
much of the total agricultural
budget actually finds its way to
the grass roots farmer. The USDA
budget request for fiscal 1961
totals $6.2 billion. Out of this,
programs predominately for the
benefit of farmers amounts to
$1.3 billion a fifth of the total.
Related businesses other than
farmers amounts to $1.8 billion
nearly a third. These related
businesses Include storage,
handling, and transportation
firms; Interest, operating, and
other program expenses. The
half remaining ($3.1 billion) is
chargeable to programs benefit
ting all of us foreign relations,
school lunches, meat Inspection
and the like.
fabric for aome of thla ready
to wear Is woven here, however,
and shipped to these places.
Needless to say the ladies did
some purchasing whll there.
At 1:30 p. m. the group split
up with about half going to the
Igleheart Brothers Flour mui ana
the rest to the State Hospital.
Mrs. Warren McCoy. Irrtgon
County Committee women, took
her party to Iglehearti wnere
they were taken in a rreigni
elevator seven stories up, and
then proceeded to walk down
from floor to floor watching the
steps In making flour out of
wheat. The many sittings
through silk screens and the
"shakers" that mixed the flour
and the sacking proved very In
(cresting. The prepared dough
nut mix which the mill manu
facturers seemed to demand the
largest attention, however. The
large scale preparation or tne
douchnut mix, with the atten
dant shoveling out shortening
from a No. 400 barrel really
made the unit gasp. Each batch
of doughnut mix Is tested In
the mlll'a test kitchen o there's
doughnuts and coffee all day
long.
The mill expressed Its good
will to the mothers by giving
each of them a box of Swans-
Down Cake flour.
Thla tour proved to be one of
the most popular events of the
Extension Unit's program for
this year.
