County Agent! OWc County Agent Gives Tips For Winter Stock Feeding By N. C ANDERSON Now that a blanket of anow ((Aim all of the rangeland and Mubhle, ranchers are forced to feed all classes of livestock In onli-r fur them tu maintain weight, produce calvea or In tbe (,im- of yearlings be ready fur rnaikct this sprint, tvtry year a queMiun comes up concerning rutions for wintering calvea. One ol I he best pieces of research on this had been done at the Squaw liclte KxiH-rlment station near burns, 'liieir results Indicated that calves can jjain on the or der of one and one-half pounds d.iily and still make good nam on grass the following summer. Replacement heifer calves need to gain from l'i pounds to lln pounds dally If they are to be bred as yearlings and It is ad visable to breed them as year lings In order to get one more nilf dunni? their oroductlve lire time. They will have to le fed a little better after calving as two year olds to breed back but the extra care Is more than off- set by the extra calf which they will raise. The addition of two IMtunds of grain and pounds of oil meal along with roughage will normally (five an adequate growth. Be especially careful of trying to winter calves on duikv low protein forage as they will be able to consume enough for adequate growth. Grass silage cannot be used as the only feed, as moisture content Is so great that the calf cannot consume enough of this wet material to make adcuuatc growth. Remem her that cold and Bnow requires additional energy, especially if the livestock have little or no protection from the winter ele merits. When this is the case a high energy feed must be added to the forage ration, wnne a good percentage of cows are now calving, those trial nave noi yei started should be sure to check that the pregnant cows are re ceiving enough protein as preg nancy continues. This protein re quirement will generally be met with the addition of a pound of protein supplement such as cot ton seed meal or soybean meal along with the alfalfa hay. High quality alfalfa hay can provide all the protein requirement, how ever. Did you know that It is nec essary now to have fireworks permit to repel predatory ani mals and birds which might be doing damage In feed yards and to crops? House Bill 1207 passed i,v i in. n-n-nt ki-lslature reg ulate their use and provide that an application must be made for permit to purchase, use and store fireworks to repel predatory ani mals and birds.

Farming Is the nation's largest business. Investment In V. S. Agriculture amounts to 3 4 the value of current assets of all II s. rornorations.

Manv of our people should be Interested In the hearing which will be held by the state Water Resources Hoard at Pendleton on January 30. This hearing is to be held at the supreme court room at the Umatilla courthouse beginning at 7:30 p. m. for the nui-nose of hearing views to as sist the board in formulation of an Integrated, coordinated pro gram for the use in control of the water resources of the Uma tilla Basin and to arrive at methods of conserving and aug menting such resources and to determine existing and iuuno needs and uses of such waters for nil beneficial purposes. Cum- mlttopH have been busy In Mor row county drafting information on present and future water use and needs in Morrow county which will be presented at the hearing. The first draft of these reports was heard last Thursday evening at the Judge's office in the courthouse. Reports indicated th.-it a lot of people had been thinking about water used in Morrow county, both past, present and future. Any person, including public agencies and civil associations may he heard at the hearing. Now that the days are cold and snowy, it would be a good time to be thinking about build inir or remodeline fire-fighting equipment which will be needed this spring, summer ami ian. u is a little difficult to get in the mood for such things this time of the year, but in many areas, farm work will be in full swim? thirty days from now if the season is normal. At a fall meet ing of the Morrow County rural volunteer fire control committee, those members asked that every one be reminded that there is never too much fire fighting equipment in a community when a fire starts.

I'atti lleaiy, reporter No Reactors Found In Cattle TB Tests No reactors In this county were found in state tuberculosis lesiing of cattle In 1131. accord ing to the federal state annual reort Just released. Animals tested In the county: 371 in 30 herds. For the state as a whole, 200 reactors came to light in H.r.(;22 ... . . i i .! i "jn. came tested ror in in i.iit herds. Percentage of reectors is Xi UMith of 1 iter cent. Tuberculosis rcaciois last year numbered 85 more than were found in l!Mi0 when !0,1'J2 tests were made in WMil herds. The state department of agrl ulture says the upturn in tuber ulosis reactors, though only in fractions of a percent, is not icculiar to Oregon. It is a prob lem upon which eradication of ficials are searching for answers. that it was much better to have the equipment available locally to be- used at once, rather than to wait for equipment to come from town or outlying commun ities. One of the suggestions made was that a platform ramp he built in the service area where the sprayer or a supply tank or both could be kept full of water for an emergency. In most cases these ramps could be built so that the pickup or truck could he backed up and with the use of pipe rollers be loaded In a matter of a few minutes. Observ ing last years fires, the group It that ranchers were mucn better prepared in many com munities, however, improvements ould he made. One suggestion us that cattle sprayers mounted is trailers be converted for pick up mourning during wie iue season. This revommenuaiion came alter watching several ranchers trying to get around pulling a trailer sprayer behind a four wheel drive pickup at ruogh range land fires.
