Records Show 10 Bulla Unproductive Approximately 10 of the bulls In Oregon which have undergone semen evaluation Large Cooking Club Divides Into Groups A meeting of the Krispy Cookers 4-H cooking club was held at the home of our leader, Mrs. Arbogast, February 9. We decided to split the club Into two groups of nine each, be cause there were too many members for one group. Each group will meet every other week for cooking Instruction. There will be a regular busl ness meeting the first Wednes day of each month, with both groups together. Mrs. Hague wood Is our assistant. At our January 26 meeting we made brownies and baked them during our business meeting. We played a game, sang songs and had refreshments of cook ies and ice cream. Gwen Drake, reporter have proven to b below par in reproductive capacities. Loral practitioners often find a high er percentage than this due to the fact that many operaton only test those bulls they are pretty sure aren't doing the Job. in some instances, the bulla are completely void of sperm and In other cases there Is enough ab. normal sperm to prevent fcrtlll ration. This often Is caused by an Infection which may or may not clear up in a matter of time. There Is no sure way of iden tlfylng the unproductive bull Ku 4uk iiwklnff at htm.

Efficient Use Considered Key To Water Woes Water problems have been solved UP to now almost en tirely bv building Morale dams and making additional water available. From here on, mure efficient management U the key. says lr. F.merv N. Castle of Oregon State University, a member of the State Water Resource Board, lie 1 dean of faculty and professor of agricultural eco nomics at OSU. U. S. Bureau of the Budget estimates Indicate that Southern California would not need to lm port additional water for two decades If It would make effic ient use of the water It now has. Castle observed tn a talk before the Oregon Chapter of the American Fisheries Society. Importing water Is easier though than facing up to a dif ficult Internal re-alloc a 1 1 o n problem with their existing wa ter, he suggested. Oregon is fortunate in its wa ter resources and Its preserva tion of recreational facilities up to the present, but difficult choices In water use must lie made during the next 20 years. Castle cautioned. The choices are not simple ones, he added. Choices may have to be made, for example, between Irrigation or navigation and natural beauty or payrolls. The first requirement for wise decisions, he said. Is detailed Information on the problem and determination of exactly how Oregonlans want their water used. The main danger Is that Oregon will get so many public water groups at the local, state and national level that respon sibility Is not made definite and coordination becomes difficult. An attitude of not consider ing diversion of Oregon water Is unrealistic Castle auggested. The federal government has the authority now to bring about Interstate water transfer. So the most reasonable position for Oregon to take is to try' to in fluence the conditions under which such diversion will occur, he observed. If Oregon can define, measure and estimate surplus waters, there are waters that can be diverted, he noted. As Important as out-of-state considerations are. internal de cisions on water use will prove to be of greater Importance in the long run though, he said. Economics Is capable of help ing tell the answers to some of the problems, too. Castle point ed out. "If we cease protecting water from the same Influences to which we subject other scarce goods and services, we will re ceive some automatic guides for Its management," he concluded.
