2 HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Growers Morrow county Livestock Giowers association acted on ai number of resolutions submitted by committees at their annual meeting January 11 and 12 and heard talks of importance to the industry. Of great importance to all, were several resolutions passed by the taxation and leg islation committee, with 0. W. Cutsforth, chairman. The resolu tions passed by the general membership were: 1. Opposition to the purchasing of private land for game re serves. 2, Favoring the abolition of all personal property taxes in Oregon, with the provision that when permanent improvements are considered personal property on leased lands, that these Im provements be taxed as real pro perty. As an alternate tax, a net income tax was approved, to be apportioned back to the counties as paid in, and these funds should be a direct property tax offset on that level. 3. The committee recommends lhat a ceiling be put by the leg islature on the amounts that the state fire patrol can assess on private forest lands, as in some cases the fire assessments are greater than the taxes. California and Washington have these ceil ings. 4, The association recommends that the new trend to tax crops be slopped as these are the farmers wages. All taxes on calf crops should in particular, cease. 5 A closer affiliation with the Slate Cattlemen's association should be attained and a com mittee be appointed to explore methods of attaining this end. A portion of our dues be used as a membership in the State As sociation. (i. More accent should be plac ed on earning power in the ap praisal of farm lands. These lands should be appraised by the same methods as used by lend Iru; agencies ana land banks. A motion was carried that the Morrow County Livestock Grow eis association contribute $100 to the Oregon Cattleman association as a token of appre ciation of the activities that have been carried out by them during the year. There was lurtner ais cussion relative to more livestock growers participating in the ac tivitics ot the Oregon cattle man's association In order that their wants and needs might be reflected. Gerald Swaggart, treasurer, re ported the treasury In poor financial condition this year, due to the small membership. Mem herships are down approximate ly 35 from the 1901 membership The 1902 membership was 6E persons compared to a high of 111 In 1951). Bob Van Sehoiack reporting for the beet promotion committee pointed out that the Oregon Cow Belles have done much for tin.- promotion of beef during l!Mi2. spending $3800 receive from the Beef Council. This money was used for beef promo tion through home economics teachers with the purchase of beef for classes. Emphasis was ulaced on Portland where all 7th and 8th grade girls take home economics. Fifty per-cent of these girls do family food pur chasing as well as part of the cooking at home, lhey are Being taught to use meat in more of their meals. It was suggest that the county beef promotion committee work closely with the Cow Belles to provide more com plete promotion programs and that encouragement be given to Farm-Cilv Week activities, with speelal effort to present the city businessman and urban organ! zations with a better under standing of the livestock dustry. Roland Kkstrom, lone 4 H member, who the Livestockgrow ors association sponsored to the Youth Range Camp in Grant county last summer, reported a honor niiorstanumg ot the man agomont of forest, range, live stuck and wildlife through his experiences at this one-week camp. A report of the game, theft and brand committee, given by Floyd Jones, chairman, asked that all livestock operators, when round ing up in the fall of the year bring in all cattle and report any with other brands to the brand inspector in order that he might notify owners. This would help greatly in tne loss or many live stock each year that are left out on (lie range and stray out of the community or die during the winter months. The committee asked that there be no changes in open doo seasons from the past by the Oregon State Game Commission and that more antlerless elk per mils be issued in the Johnson C rook area of Morrow county Reports were made of some cows being shot during the hunting season. In some cases hunters wore known and a charge made lor the cow that they had killed rattier than loiiowlng more strin gent methods. Clyde Nutting, brand inspector, asked that when livestockmen soil cattle they report such sales in order that he has a record ol this transfer of brand which would eliminate a lot of tracing and embarrassment when such ani mals were found. Nutting also emphasized the need for extend ing the livestock theft reward program to other than livestock association members if the pro gram is to be effective in dis couraging trespassing and theft throughout the entire area. Some livestock operators asked for theft reward nlticos to be posted Thursday, January 24, 1963 Pass Resolutions where more people would under stand the program carried on Dy this association. Tom Davidson, manager, Uma tilla Branch Experiment Station, Hermiston, reported on livestock research being carried out at that station. The station was built by contributions from live stock growers and others inter ested in the industry. Research Is being carried out on cattle, sheep, and hogs with the third trials now in progress with lambs and hogs. The second and third steer experiments are underway, Present trials, using yearlings put In the feedlot in October are comparing various feed grain mixtures with varying amounts of wheat in the ration. Ten pens of 12 each are being used in the comparison trails, results of which are not yet conclusive. Re sults of 1961-62 trials are avail able in mimeographed form from the county agent's office. Also underway at this time is a win tering trial comparing types of roughages and supplement. At the request of Bob Peterson, lone, member of the Morrow County advisory committee chaff is be ing included in the wintering ra tions. These calves will be put in the feedlot following the year ling trials now under way. Lamb trials are being carried out using "programmed rations," the inno vation for selecting rations with a computer, considering prices of grains and concentrates with varying degrees of feed value. Swine trials compare wheat and barley rations with each, using various commercial supplements. Carcass evaluation is a main part of this research in an at tempt to produce the type ot meat that the customers demand. Bob Peterson, speaking as an advisory committee me m b e r , thanked those who provided cat tle for these trials which includ ed W. E. Hughes, George Currin and Sons, Peterson Ranch, Har old Wright, and Pat Cutsforth. He pointed out that records from these feeding experiments are valuable if operators wish to feed out their own stock in the future. Cooperators pay 4c per day yardage, feed expenses, and prorated veterinarian and death loss. Livestock are sold at the end of the experiment with these charges taken out and the returns going to the livestock grower. Advisory com m 1 1 1 e e members from ,Morrow county are Kenneth Smouse, swine; Bill Barratt, lambs; Ron Currin and Bob Peterson, cattle. George Johnson, Oregon Cat tleman's association, reported on activities of that association for the past year. This progress re port pointed out that communi cations are improving between the state and county association and that the financial status of the state association is getting on a sound footing as a result of closer budgeting and more effi cient operation. The magazine, "The Oregon Cattleman," has Look for the Butler trademark before you buy Butler quality grain bins are pre-ongineered to exact ing standards by the men who know grain storage best. They go up quickly - last longer. They give you tbe safest, most dependable storage you can buy.

Headquarters for all Butler farm structures and equipment Paul Pettyjohn Co. lone RAY BOYCE AND PECK LEATHERS, Representatives now been put on a paying basis and is serving the purpose in carrying news of the livestock industry to the grower. He point ed out that the state association is 50 years old and has 50 times more problems now than when first organized. Over the years the state association has insti gated many actions which has saved the livestock industry of Oregon many dollars, one such being action to prevent cattle from being put on accrual tax basis, the savings on which paid each livestock growers dues for 50 pears, Johnson said, Other projects on which they have been active are livestock re search, hunting legislation, par ticipation in assessors meetings in providing true cash values of livestock, dual grading, wilder ness area and prevention of do ing away with the hot brand. He asked that livestock growers keep them notified of their pro blems and announced that Bill Marshall, Klamath area live stock grower, will represent the state association at the legisla ture this year. Jim Allen, New York Life In surance agent, presented a pro posal to livestock growers Sat urday afternoon for a group hos pital and accident program which would take 25 members to put the plan into effect. If 50 percent of the members of the association participate, all mem bers would be eligible without medical examination, regardless of medical history. Oliver Creswick, outlined the need for the Willow Creek Dam and announced the hearing that was held by the Corps of En gineers January 14. The assoc iation went on record favoring further investigation of the ec onomic feasibility of the Willow Creek dam. Dr. Henry Hefferman, Federal Veterinarian stationed at Pendle ton, outlined the advantages of callhood vaccination, pointing out that it is cheaper to prevent than cure brucellosis. Vaccina tions shold be made of all heifer calves between the ages of 7 to 8 months, in order to better con trol this disease. Ervin Mann, Umatilla county livestock grow er, explained the dual grading system which has been in effect for moat grading since July 1, 1902. Expiration of the trial per iod was January 1, 1963, and recommendations will be given relative to the continuation of this type grading. Mann pointed out the strong and weak points of each of these two systems, stating that neither provided the tool for a true meat grading. Jerry Rood, U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service hunter-trapper, reported a good kill of coyotes during the past year which has resulted in less trouble to sheep and cattlemen- He reported that at the present time dogs are of great concern to many cattle and sheep men and that there had been several losses in sheep and many cattle being run.
