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

had been done until recently bv

testing to do are advised to con

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

from rebruary 5 through March
30. The program offers payments
to producers tor diversion or leen

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.
Farm payment rates vary ac
cording to the farms productivity

Order forms have now been
received at this office for order
ing 19C2 editions of several
handbooks which have been
popular with some ranchers and
chemical salesmen In this area.
These are the "Orgeon Insect
Control Handbook;" "Oregon
Plant Disease Control Hand
book;" and "Oregon Weed Con
trol Handbook." This last hand
book has a special section on
plant growth regulators in the
l!Ki2 edition. Those who are in-
Ranchers living within the
boundaries of the Lexington
Blow Control district will want
to mark the date of the annual
meeting of this organization on
their calendar. The date is Wed
nesday evening. February 28.
This annual meeting will be
held at the Fred Nelson ranch
north of Lexington beginning at
8:00 p. m. There will be an In
teresting film shown, election of
supervisors and a general dis
cussion on blow control matters.
It Is expected that there will be
a big turnout this year since the
past year has seen quite a nine
erosion. Many are concerned
over the light crop of straw
which several have to work this
summerfallow year and they
need to be extremely careful to
protect their land from wind
erosion. Keep this Important
meeting In mind and come and
discuss wind erosion problems.
