variety hs been contaminates

The onlv solution. It appears,
is to do as Flmer Palmer has
done and as Wilbur Worden had
made plans to do as I visited
with them last week. This Is to
hand rogue a portion of a field
for clean seed stock. Elmer
ralmer did this to pt .Jf
start of clean seed. Wilbur Wor
den was going to. with a help
of a neighbor, clean up enough
clean seed for these two ranch
ers. We are still looking for a
source of Fortyfold that would
not be graded dow n because of
red kernels.
For those who beln to do
something about clean seed for
these varieties that are offend
ers, the problem of contrasting
classes another year will be
solved. For those who do noth
ing about their seed, the prob
lem will continue to exist. From
word we have at this time, there
will be nothing done about
changing this grade factor for
another year. The reason for this
is the low incidence of reduced
grades from contrasting classes,
taking the entire wheat produc
ing country as a whole.

where an outstanding Job of
I , lr ImnrmomKnt mmi farm.
stead development has occurred
I er the past few years, we saw
12 replacement heifers on a 3
lrrlirated pasture that was
rotated daily to 3 acre pastures
inai provmrs an lounutim- in
fresh daily feed.
Mt mitttanriinp t this dairv
was the new milking parlor that
. . a lit
is completely auiomaiea wun
"mi lk -o-meters" and "feed-o-
meters" that are used In getting
the most from every cow. Since
the "parlor" has been installed,
the Gantenbeins are getting 10i
more miiK at me same ume
thplr rrain nurrhases have de
creased a ton per month.
The miik-o-meter is a unique
piece of equipment that attaches
to tne stall to measure me
amount of milk each cow gives.
At the same time it provides
individual cow records for the
Gantenbeins. it is regulating the
feed-o-meter and as each cow
produces Vt pound of milk an ad
ditional amount of feed is trip
ped and fed out in the cows in
dividual feeder.
One pound of feed Is metered
out for each 4 pounds of milk.
As Henry put it, it "coaxes"
more milk from the cow as pel
lets are automatically fed the
cow as she produces. If some
thing happens to the feed-o-meter.
the cow looks around to
see what she has done that nas
cut off her feed.
II Ull lit, iixu.
There is no doubt but what
this dairy is doing all in its
power to get every pound of
miiK in ine most economical
manner in order to survive in
this highly competitive business.
Bv looking around the ranch,
it appears that the Gantenbeins
are succeeding.
'Haylage' Is End Result
Of New Class Lined Silos
Urbanization and the demand
for recreation has been a boon
for nni Morrow cnuntv rancher.
Tom Huston, Hardman, has for
many years "eyea glass Jinea
silos and wished that he had the
$10,000 plus dollars that it took
to erect one on his ranch.
Luckily last winter while on a
business trip to Portland he saw
an ad with four glass lined silos
for sale in the Portland area,
Innuirintr ho fntinrt that thi
ranch where these were located
nad been sold for a goir course.
As a T-ocutt ha tit n cr ohla i hiiv
four of these silos with unload
ing equipment for 13 the cost
of one new one.
Tom said recently while visit-

eight tons and posed somewhat
01 a proDiem to move. However,
after getting on to the knack of
it, they were easily dismantled
and erected again after being
hauled the approximately 250
miles to his ranch.
Last week while in the area,
I found that one of them was
completely erected and ready
for receiving the chopped grass
