County Agent' Office Straw Pelleting Found Successful In Experiment If N. C ANDERSON An lntrrfstlnR vUlt was made to Hie former liergevln Ranch, tuulli of lone, InM week where niaclilrie li being used to pellet straw. IVIIi'linc U being dona Mrnw pile at (he feedluta. The h lieu are being made ol straw and chaff with no hinder added. InMH'tkm allowed a good solid IM'lli I with very Utile crumbling. Some trouble Is being encounter ed In Celling the required vol ume of M-IIeu nut each day, how ever, but It appeared as though this is ttomethinR which con be overcome, A Portland milling concern who Is doing this ex perimental ttelleting will have something: if an the bugs' can bo taken out and straw pelleted at a fairly low cost iter ton. Straw Is a very versatile by-product with opportunities for a great multiple or uses such as live stork feed, insulation and pressed hoard products, however, tran.siHirtation or the bulky pro duct has been a problem. With this compressed Into pellets this problem will be overcome. An adequate supply of vitamin A for all livestock Is Important, however, vitamin A for the milk- Ink' mother Is of particular tm iMtrtance as it Is closely assoc i a tod with ability of the new horn to resist diseases. Vitamin A requirement for the milking beef cow is about two and a half tlrr-'S greater than for the pregnant cow. A pound of good quality legume hay will provide the necessary vitamin A for a ewe and ten pounds of legume hay will provide an adequate quantity of hay to the average beef cow nursing a calf. If a rancher has plenty of roughage other than legume hays It might be cheaper to obtain a synthetic vitamin A which might he fed with salt. If vitamin A is fed with salt it Is advisable to mix only a three day supply. This material may ueterlate rapidly particularly if subjected to ad verse weather and rough hand ling when mixing the plastic coated vitamin with salt. Recent word from the veter inarian in charge of the Animal Disease Eradication division at Salem advises that Dr. J. W. Norene, Heppner, Is authorized to do Brucellosis testing In Mor row county at this time. Work had been done until recently bv a federal veterinarian located at Pendleton.

Producers who participate in the i;i2 Feed Grain Program ran have advance payments on half the amount to be earned for diverting acreage from pro duction of barlev. This advance ment program provision should be of benefit to growers who can use some extra reany cash during the spring planting sea son. Signup for the program runs from rebruary 5 through March 30.

The program is voluntary but farmers who co operate must divert a minimum of 2i)'7o In order to he eligible for price support on the normal production of the 1962 barley.
