HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday, June 20. 19G3 : I ..-v,,,,- -.-flaaMttMH- i n i! I, ti: ' ) ' "'ii-icS mi mm f Lice Sprayings Proved Successful A practical method of eradi cating cattle lice on a herd ba sis has been demonstrated in an experimental herd at the Agri cultural Research Center, Belts vllle, Maryland. This eradication method, pro ved over a 5-year period, should be of value to livestock produc ers. Measures that effectively control but do not eradicate cattle lice have been In use many years. Lice eradication in the Belts ville herd was carried out by entomologist D. W. Anthony, veterinarian L. O. Mott, and ani- LEE PETTYJOHN (sceond from left) points out ranching developments that won him the 1962 Conservation Man of the Year award, sponsored by the Oregon Wheat Growers League. Occasion was the annual Conservation Field Day, held this week at the Weatherford-Pettyjohn ranch near Arlington, Arlington Ranch Hosts !00 Guests For Field Day Nearly one hundred wheat growers and farm implement dealers attended this week's1 Conservation Field Day, an an nual event sponsored by the Ore gon Wheat Growers League. The all-day program was held at the Weatherford-Pettyjohn Circle W Ranch near Arlington, and featured Dr, J. H. Jensen, president of Oregon State Uni versity, who gave a luncheon address. Inspection of the 16,000-acre ranch provided visitors with a first-hand look at the conserva tion practices which won for manager Lee Pettyjohn the Wheat League's 19G2 Conserva tion Man of the Year award, Pettyjohn operates the family owned spread in partnership with Harrison Weatherford, Al bany, and Dr, John Runkel, Port land. "Will It pay?" and "Can we do it with machinery available?" are the questions asked of each conservation practice introduced at the Circle W, according to the three partners, They stressed to the visiting group that current Circle W conservation programs are a continuation of those in troduced by Mark V. Weather ford, pioneering Gilliam county rancher who died last year. Addressing a morning meet ing at the ranch headquarters, David Chllds, neighbor and long time friend of the Circle W pro prietors, traced the history of the operation and the effects of conservation practices on Its prosperous growth. He was fol lowed by Howard Eubanks, chairman of the Wheat League conservation committee which selected the Weatherford-Petty john ranch for the 19bz state award. Following a buffet lunch at the ranch house, OSU president Jensen drew a correlation be tween farm conservation pro grams and the goals of higher education. Both, he said, are pursued by forward-thinking in dividuals who look beyond short run returns and invest in the future of the country. The afternoon session was de voted to a tour of the various ranch operations and an inspec tion of the machinery employed. In addition to 2,013 acres of wheat, barley and alfalfa are also grown on the Circle W, and a livestock operation has been recently introduced. The annual farming conser vation contest was inaugurated by the Wheat League in 1948. Candidates are selected from each of the major wheat-growing counties from which a state wide winner is chosen bv the League's program committee. mal caretaker G. D. Mills. The success of the method, they say, depends on timing insecticide treatments to break the life cycle of the lice, plus quaran tining and treating all newly introduced cattle. To eradicate short and long nosed cattle lice and cattle bit ing lice, all cattle in the herd were given two thorough spray ings, 14 days apart, with mal athion, an insecticide used for louse control on nonmilking cattle. All cattle brought into the herd were kept in quaran tine while receiving this 2-spray treatment. The study was made in the herd used for animal dis ease and parasite research. Although most insectici d e s that are safe for use against lice on livestock will kill all lice past the egg stage, they are not com pletely effective against lice eggs, especially under pasture conditions, the scientists say. Therefore, some lice will hatch from eggs after the first treat ment. The second spraying, if properly timed kills these newly hatched lice before they can ma ture and produce eggs. The Beltsville herd was first treated in October 1957. In the following months, no lice could be found on the animals. But to insure eradication, the herd again received the spray treat ment the next April. Periodic examination of the herd revealed no lice until Oc tober, 1959, when a yearling heiter on pasture was found in fested, Although cattle in the same pasture and in adjoining psature had no lice, both groups were given two sprayings. No lice have been found in this herd since the treatments, al though about 90 animals have Homes Abound with Potential Poisons, AMA Official Warns Children, supposedly "safo at home," nre poisoning themselves at the rate of nearly 1,500 a day. "When you consider that more than a quarter million home-used product!! on the mar ket contain toxins, it is not dif ficult to understand why more than 500 children die each year from self-administered poisons," said F. J. L. Blasin game, M.D., executive vice president of the American Med ical Association. Children are naturally cu rious, especially the very young ones. They are prone to stick into their mouths anything they i.m get in their hands. It doesn t even have to taste good or look pretty." Most accidental poisonings occur in children under five. Two-year-olds are the most poi son prone, with one-year-olds close behind. At this stage In life their curiosity is at its height and their sense of fear not yet developed, Dr. Blasin game explained. Medicine, especially aspirin, heads the list of items children seem to like to sample, account ing for nearly half of all acci dental poisonings. In fact, too much of virtually any medicine can produce serious conse quences. Among the supposed non edihles that frequently find their way into children's stom achs are cleaning ami polishing agents, detergents, shoe polish, cosmetics, waxes, insecticides, paint, turpentine, chalk, bleaches, plant foods, plaster, perfume and decorations. w kM Aft It-' V ) w I , ' IT N '"jMwwJwp- v " ill" j 4- ffl ' 17V z i Mtdlclntt account for marly hall at all accidental poisoning ki United Statu itch par. Discard wtusod medicine and keep rest out ot children's reach. A primary cause of such acci dents, says Dr. Blaslngame, is storing poisonous substances in food containers or soft drink bottles. A toddler just nat urally assumes that a soft drink bottle contains a treat. He'll drink whatever he finds In it. "The facts are clear," he warned. "Between 65 and 70 per cent of all poisonings take place because an item was ac cessible to a child. "If we're going to live in modern homes with modern conveniences and modern med icines, we have to develop some up-to-date standards that will make home safe for our children." Among suggestions for less ening the poisoning hazards in the home, Dr. Blaslngame sug gested: Keep potential poisons out of reach and tightly sealed. Never transfer toxic ma terials Into household utensils. Don't leave your child alone in a room in which you're working with poi sons. Give medicines only in a lighted room. If your child might have taken a poisonous substance, call your doctor for instructions at once. Don't wait to See what happens. County Court met in regular session on May 1, 1963.

It is not necessary to go above choice grade on lambs, and the market would actually prefer lambs out of prime grade. These lambs will carry more finish than is desirable for the market. Unfortunately, all lambs will not be ready to go to market on the same date. This neces sitates taking out a few lambs at a time, causing inconvenience from the marketing standpoint. However, it will pay the sheep producer high dividends. A pooling operation within a local ity will help a great deal in solving some of these problems. N. W. Hosp. Serv 124.85 Pac. N. W.
