Newspaper Page TextHEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday, Jun 1. 62Wfled Control Sheets Available to Public Dairying Trend Towards Large Commercial Herds When Mrs. O'Leary's cow kick ed over the lamp that set Chicago ablaze In 1871, some folks opined that "the city is just no place for a cow." Others went even further and said it didn't make sense to keep only one covv in the first place. Time will come, they argued, when all cows will be managed in large herds with dairying the sole business of the operator. But that time hasn't yet arrived, re port Oregon State University dairy specialist. Dairying in Oregon today Is a complex mixture of Century 21 and the 19th Century of Mrs. O'Leary. Big, automated dairy farms of 20'.) to 300 cow shart the state's milk production with 7 204 families that ke.p only one cow. However, the trend to fewer and bigger dairy farms is clearly apparent with most of Oregon' 160,000 producing cows in so-called commercial herds. More than 2200 Oregon farms reported herds of 20 or more cows for the latest agricultural census In 1959. Near ly 600 farms had herds of more than 50 cows. Average size of herds in the Portland milk mar keting area is now 45 cows. All told, Oregon produced more than one billion pounds of milk In 1961 equal to more than one half billion quarts and valued in excess of $46 million. Many millions of dollars were added to this base figure in payrolls to make butter, cheese, Ice cream and other products and to put iniik into containers for Oregon stores and doorsteps. How is this billion pounds of milk used? In 1960, about one half was used as fluid milk and the other h&l'. went lor manufac ture of dairy products, says Oscar Hagg, OSU dairy products mar keting specialist. Biggest processed item was butter made from nearly 235 million pounds of whole milk. Cheese used 170 million pounds of milk, and ice cream and other frozen products required 90 mil lion pounds. The reat went for a variety of manufactured pro ducts including cottage cheese, evaporated ir.ilk, and dry milk. Peak production and sales of dairy products are expected this month when Oregon dairymen join with the nation in promoting June Dairy Month the time when lush, early summer pas tures bring the heaviest flow of milk. Another nj'able dairy trend, along with larger herds, is th improved milk production capa city of cows, report H. P- Ewalt and Don E. Anderson, OSU exten sion dairy specialist. Comparative records of the Oregon Dairy Herd Improvement Association show that In 19 50 average annual production of DHIA test cows was 8108 pounds of milk and 380 pounds of butter fat per cow. By 1961, production had increased to 9,694 pounds ot milk and 420 pounds of butterfat. DHIA records also point up the general shift in herd sizes. In 1950, Oregon had 637 herds on DHIA testing for a total of 19,183 cows or an average size herd of 30 animals. By 1961, the number of herds had decreased to 488, but total number of cows was 25,735 for an average herd of 53. Where is it all leading? Some of the experts believe the time is not far off when less than 1,000 farms will supply ail the dairy products needed in the state. Meanwhile, some 7,000 Oregonl ans will set their alarm clocks for tomorrow morning to go out and milk one cow little con cerned that they're a disappear ing statistic. One reason the courts don't handle more drunken driving cases the undertaker gets them first. Fact sheets listing 1962 weed control recommendatio n s for commercial vegetable and fruit crops have been published by Oregon State University Coopera tive Extension Service and are now available from county ex tension offices. The publications were prepared by Dr. A. A. Duncan, extension vegetable production specialist, and Dr. Garvin Crabtree, assist ant professor of horticulture. The fact sheet for vegetables covers weed control recommenda tions for crops ranging from as paragus to tomatoes. The recom mendations for fruit crops in clude berries, grapes and tree fruits. In Introducing the recommen dations, the authors point out that adequate weed control is important for production of hih yields of high quality vegetables. Weeds compete witn crops lor water, nutrients and light and are often hosts for insects and diseases. The first line of defense against weeds is good cultural practices, the authors stress. In using chemicals for weed control, growers also should learn as much as possible about the her bicides they use, including infor mation on evaporation loss, movement with soil moisture, and limitations on certain weed species to aid in making the most effective use of the control programs listed in the fact sheets. whatever In the V I worfd you're ji M PORT OF MORROW NOTICE OF 1962-63 BUDGET MEETING In accordance with the provisions of the "Local Budget Law" (ORS 294.305 to 294.415), notice is hereby given that the budget committee of Port of Morrow, Oregon, in compliance with saia law, prepared and adopted on April 24, 1962, the budget estimates for Port of Morrow, Oregon, for the ensuing fiscal year July 1, 1962 to June 30, 1963, as set forth in the accompanying schedules.
