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

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

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.
