herds In eighteen of Oregon's
counties are participating In the
research program. Twentvfour
thousand inoculations will be
Civ-en with the greater majority
used In Baker, Malheur and
Grant counties.
The first bacterin was distrib-

county herds the first to be in
oculated in the state. Twenty
seven hundred doses of bacterin
were used in Morrow county
which would provide for the in
oculation of 1350 cows.
Cooperating in the research
program in Morrow county are
Jerry Brosnan, George Currin

Dick Wilkinson. Twenty-five

Some bacterin has been used as
a direct inoculation of calves
that show symptoms of the dis

stopped when the bacterin was
used. While the bacterin was re
leased for inoculation of cows
at least 30 days before calving,
some limited research is being
carried on with calves.

Livestockxnen To Hear Research
Program at Pendleton Meeting
Information has been distrib
uted widely to livestock men
who might be interested In the
Livestock Day scheduled at the
Pendleton High school on this
Saturday. February 6.
The program which will get
underway at 10:00 a.m. &arur
day. will feature research re
suits of Hermiston, Union, and
Milton-Freewater livestock ex
periment trials. During the
morning there will be sections
on beef, sheep, and swine in
session. During the afternoon a
general session will be held.
Such items as winter manage
ment of the cow herd, wheat in
current beef cattle rations, ef
fects of wintering levels of feed
er calves upon their subsequent
feedlot performance, least cost
fattening rations, thiabenzol for
controlling internal parasites in
feedlot lambs, limited feeding
for swine, feed grain freight
rates, and a panel on meat in
dustry problems. We believe that
this event is an excellent oppor
tunity to be brought up to date
on latest research findings.
ASC Committee To Hold
Important Meeting Tuesday
An Important meeting has
been scheduled by the County
ASC committee to be held next
Tuesday afternoon. February 9.
at the Fair Annex building at
1:30 p.m. This meeting will be
of special interest to our grow
ers who anticipate some re seed
ing and perhaps some substi
tution of feed grains for wheat
or vice-versa.
There are many various as
pects of the program which
should be especially important
this year. Everyone will want
to attend so that they might
understand the complete pro
gram and effects upon their in
come. At the same meeting there
made to participants whether the
feed grain produced in 19t5 is
fed on the farm, sold or placed
under a price support loan.
To take part In the program,
the farmer will agree to take
out of production and devote to
an approved conservation use at
least 20 of the total feed grain
base. The maximum diversion is
50 of the base or 25 acres if
this is larger. The reduction may
be on either of the acreages, and
the diversion payment will be
based on the crop diverted.
Diversion payments, if less
than 40 of the base is actually
diverted, will be made at one
fifth of the county support rate
on the normal production for the
first 20 diversion, and at one
half the support rate for the
normal production from the re-
will be a discussion on the new mainlng percentage. If 40 or

which is also an important item payment, the higher rate will
for our growers to understand, apply to all the acreage diverted.

Mi!
Survey Shows Low Wheat
Smut Bating in 1964
We received on our desk re
centlv results of the annual sur
vey for wheat smut carried out
in the Pacific Northwest for the
1964 crop. The survey shows that
out of 74,000,000 bushels of
wheat representing 26 varieties,
which was reported in the sur
vev. only 13,480 bushels or
0.0002 of the survey sample
rated smutty, the same incidence
as in 1963. the lowest on record.
This marks the sixth year in a
row that less than 1 of the
harvested grain was graded
smutty. Smut was reported in
only three varieties, including
Gaines, Elgin, and Requa.
Job Corps Program Available
To Underprivileged Youth
Information was received re
cently at our office on the Job
Corps. This national ' voluntary
program is designed to give
underprivileged young men and
women a new chance to help
themselves. Young people from
the ages of 16 through 21 who
are largely unemployed because
thev lack education and job
skills to move ahead will be
placed in Job Corps centers
where they can develop skills
and self confidence.

our young people will qualify
for the Job Corps we will have

by Robert L. Dcrnedde
Now that the 53rd session of ians, sportsmen, doctors and
the Oregon Legislature has been various government agencies, to
name a lew.
The misconception that lobby
ists wine and dine legislators -o
"trick" them into voting for leg
islation beneficial to a special
interest is untrue, and the legis
lature would be among the first
to dispute such a theory.
Lobbyists know that legis
lators cannot be tricked into
voting, and they are also aware
that a position not commen
surate with the public interest
is indefensible before the legis
lature as well as before the
people.
Since much legislation Is
highly technical and complex,
and since we could not expect
cur legislative representatives to
be experts in all fields, the
'Third House" performs its job
of explaining complex and diffi
cult subjects in a clear, under
standable fashion.
The purpose of this function
can best be said in the words
ot late President John F. Ken
nedy who said, "Indeed, there is
more effective manner of learn
ing all important arguments and
facts on a controversial issue
than to have the opposing
lobbyists present their cases."
More specifically, the profes
sional lobbyist will analyze each
bill introduced at the legisla
ture and determine its effect on
his clients. After reporting his
findings, he coordinates the ef
forts of those affected by the
legislation by documenting arg
uments, testifying before com
mittees and presenting his cae
before individual legislators.
Sandwich fillings suitable for
freezing include meat, poultry
and cheese spreads of all kind
egg yolk mixtures and peanut
butter. Fillings that do not
freeze well are those made with
raw vegetables, hard cooked egg
whites, and fruit Jellies.
Raw vegetable such as cel
ery, carrots and cabbage, can be
put In the lunch box In the
morning. Lettuce or tomatoes,
wrapped in waxed paper and
carried In the lunch box. can be
added to the sandwiches at
lunch time. The frozen foods in
the lunch box will help keep
vegetables crisp and fresh tast
ing.
Sandwiches can also be made
from frozen bread. Frozen bread
is easier to spread than when It
Is soft or crumbly. Many fam
ilies purchase a week or two
weeks supply of bread and
freeze It to keep it from becom
ing stale. Frozen sliced loaves
are especially convenient be
cause slices separate readily
without thawing.
These suggestions should help
you keep vour new vear's res
olution to make tastier lunches
for your family to carry to work
and school.

called to order, criticism about
the activities of lobbyists anl
their role in influencing legis
lation will undoubtedly be made
during the course of the next
few months.
Unfortunately, much of this
criticism will come from those
who have seldom, if ever, visited
their legislature while in session
or from those whose knowledge
! of the legislative process is com
pletely void.
The function of lobbying is
part of the basic process of dem
ocratic and representative gov
ernment. The legislature itself
often refers to the lobby as the
"Third House" and depends
heavily on it to provide expert
knowledge on specific subjects
to legislative committees and in
dividual representatives.
Although there are basically
two kinds of lobby the occas
ional and the professional, their
objectives are somewhat the
same. The individual who occas
ionally writes his legislator to
tell him why he approves or dis
approves of specific legislation
is, in essence, lobbying for or
against a bin.
The corporate, association oi
union lobbyist quite often a
professional lobbyist will giv?
technical testimony as to how
legislation will help or hinder
his client's business activity.
Although some people assume
that professional lobbyists come
generally from "Big Business'
and "Big Labor" groups, many
lobbyists represent educators.

From 1953 through 10 we
