Farm Safety Week With National Farm Safety Week, July 24-30. almost over, even- rural person is reminded again of the loss of life and limb each year to rural acci dents. These pertain to each of us. not just farm people. Quite often these farm accidents in volve city raised visitors, pass ing motorists, or short time farm help. With the busy sea son of harvest upon us. be es pecially conscious of harvest equipment on the roads and look for the slow moving ve hicle sign publicized so widely.

The 1964 breakdown of farm resident accidents shows a to tal of 8300 deaths and 760,000 disabling injuries. Of the deaths, 3700 involved motor ve hicles; 1900 were in the home; 2500 were work accidents; and 800 resulted from off-the-farm non-motor vehicle accidents, ac cording to the National Safety Council. Farm Safety Week comes at a time of year when farm peo ple are actively involved in all phases of farm work. This is an excellent time to stop a mo ment and check the safety of farm equipment particularly the farm tractor, which is in volved in the majority of fatal farm machinery' accidents. During National Farm Safety Week, special emphasis is being placed on the Slow-Moving Ve hicle (SMV) emblem. The triangular emblem was developed by Ohio State univer sity research specialists in an attempt to reduce the number of rear-end collisions involving slow-moving vehicles. Use of the emblem is now mandatory' by statute In Ohio, will be compulsory in Nebraska this next year, and many other states including Ore g o n are considering introducing similar legislation. If you are a farmer and some times drive slow-moving farm machinery on the highways, you should know about the SMV emblem It could save your life. If you are a city or urban dweller and travel the state's highways, you, too, should know and recognize the SMV emblem it could save your life.

When the animal was later consigned for sale clear title was questioned because of the t-rand. which was recorded to a man at The Dalles and the money impounded by the state. Owners of the brand testified that in the past several years they had last cattle and 10 white face cows with their brand were missing in liHU. the year the purchase was made. Thev could not prove this par ticular animal was stolen at the same time but neither could the mast recent owner provide proof of legal title or ownership hence the brand had to be accepted as prima facie evi dence of ownership. This meant the original owner was given the $12 realized from the sale of the cow.

Japan, informed , nor 200 American and Japa trade and governmental leaders on the subject, "Pros pects for Selling More Wheat to Japan", at the Washington, D. C. conference on trade with Japan. Hutchinson told the U. S. -Japan Trade Council sponsored event. "In 1959 we were faced ; with a declining export posit- ion due to increasing Japanese 'wheat production and a change in Japan's wheat flour require- meets. Director Hutchinson nointed !nnt frnm thi Inw nnsitinn. "Wheat Associates with the co operation of growers and the whole wheat industry increased sales 217 percent by 1965. and prospects continue to increase." Total of all U. S. wheat ship ped for 1965 season is almost i6S.4f0.0lX) bushels. "During 1963 we moved into the number one wheat sup plier position and have contin ued to maintain this position with a 54 percent share of the market in 1965," he said. Hutchinson is optimistic about the future prospects of increas ing U. S. wheat sales to Japan. During the current shipping season he expects U. S. exports tc Japan to reach almost 73, 500,000 bushels, and by 1970 he expects exports of close to 92,000,000 bushels.

TO THOSE on PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES WARRANTS WILL BE SERVED ON DELINQUENT PERSONAL PROP ERTY TAXPAYERS IMMEDIATELY AFTER AUGUST 15, 1966. CJ.D. BAUMAN Sheriff and Tax Collector Morrow County, Ore. Cattle Growers Urged to Check On Winter Feed Oregon cattlemen are liable to be hurting for feed this win ter, according to John Landers, extension science specialist at Oregon Stale I'niversity. Landers strongly recommend that cattlemen start lining up their supplies of winter feed as soon as possible. The drouth that has plagued Oregon as well as other west ern ami Great Plains states for the past few months has cut down on quality and quantity of range food, and what is more Important from this win ter's standpoint, has cut back hav production, says Landers. Cattlemen with a cow-calf op eration should pay particular at tention to providing adequate energy as well as protein to the cow herd if they want to re a'i.e a good calf crop next year, points out Landers. While cows can lose weight until the calf is dropped, they must be kept in condition while the calf is nursing. There may still be time for cattlemen to contract to bale crass and straw from the Wil lamette Valley, according to Landers. Another possible source of winter feed is chaff from the grain harvest. It may be eco nomical to haul chaff short dis tances, if arrangements are made for the harvester to drop the chaff in piles where it can be picked up easily. Feed value of chaff varies greatly, from al most nothing on up, depending on the number of heads and small grains that come through the combine. Cattlemen planning to feed chaff this winter should pay particular attention to providing supplemental vitamin A, Land ers stresses. There is no caro tene in chaff. Vitamin A can he provided either in the form of two pounds alfalfa hay pel lets per head per day, through injections of vitamin A, or by mixing synthetic vitamin A preparations in salt or mineral supplements. Dry cows need about 20.000 International Units of vitamin A daily. If the vitamin is sup plied by injection, this would mean bringing in the cow herd and giving a one-million I.U. shot every throe weeks, Landers explains. After the calves are dropped, vitamin A require ments double, meaning a shot every 10 clays. Cost for the one million I.U. shot ranges from 30 cents to SI a head. Cows normally consume about one ounce of salt a day, so vit amin A should be mixed with the salt in suitable proportions to supply the amount required each day. Cattle also need phosphorous and calcium, which can be fed in the form of di calcium phosphate, tricalcium phosphate or steamed bone meal. Lack of vitamin A reduces fertility of both cow and bull, can cause deformed or stillborn calves, and can lead to calf hood diseases such as scours. Replacement heifers bei n g carried through the winter should get one-half pound oil meal and two pounds rolled or ground grain per head per day, advises Landers. This is partic ularly Important if they are bred to calves as two-year-olds. In light of the anticipated short feed supply, the cow herd should be culled heavily this DELINQUENT Japanese Trade Team to Visit Br JOHN WELBES Oregon Wheat League Don Woodward, president of the Oregon Wheat Growers League, has announced that the League and Wheat Commission will be hosts for an outstanding Japanese trade team In Port land. August 9. The group will consist of representatives from six flour mills in Japan who mill 7tn of the flour In the country. Those visits in the past have been extremely valuable to the U. S. wheat Industry. While re sults cannot be measured In bushels, it has boon definitely observed to Influence the mar keting familiarity with the V. S. wheats, and a consequent Increased U, S. wheat buying habit. A customer that is more familiar with a product, every thing else being equal, tends to buy the familiar . . . "the tried and true". In the case of the flour millers who are the primary users of wheat in Ja pan, their desires to the Gov ernment Food Agency carries great weight In the F.Vs decis ion in Issuing purchase orders or tenders . While In the United Slates they will be visiting wheat pro- ducing areas, centers of wheat processing, marketing people, and I'SDA officials. year, and any boarders elim inated that aren't paying their way, it Is advised. Cows that are disabled or not producing a good quality calf should be wooded out. Range cattlemen looking for sources of cheap pro t e t n shouldn't go overboard for the nonprotein nitrogen sources such as urea or ammoniated molasses, warns Landers. Some use can be made of these sourc es, but the best results with them come In feedlots, where cattle are on a high concentrate ration rather than with cattle on low quality maintenance rations. If too much of the pro tein equivalent is fed, death loss from urea or ammonium poisoning can result, he caut ions. Cattle can be wintered on 10 pounds grain per day during the winter, but the cost would probably be prohibitive, points out Landers.

Problems of 1.5 Tax Limitation Measure Cited The proposed t per cent properly tax limitation, If pass ed in the November election, would Increase and complicate the work of assessors, school administrators, and others who have the difficult task of dis tributing taxes and administer ing public services, says Mar lon I). Thomas, Oregon State University extension agricultur al economist. The proposal assigns the Job of reducing budgets and the kinds and amounts of services to the Slate Tax Commission. This would reduce the author ity and responsibility of local budget committee and officials, he noted. Bv limiting the tax to l' per cent, which equals lid mills un der the present system of fig uring levies on assessed values, the proposal would reduce the amount of money available to finance local government serv ices bv at least SlOOmllllon a year, according to Thomas. Thomas said property taxes are c.ioeted to hit a new high this year, topping $.i00-million for the first time, up from SlOO mllllon six years ago and S100 million in iyfrt). He said those totals are the results of decis ions made by a great many property tax payors acting as budget committees for local governments and voting In spe cial budget Icectlons. One of the reasons for the in crease in taxes, according to Thomas, is that the costs of public as well as private goods and services are going up. Schools use most of the prop erty tax levied in Oregon. Most groups which have tak en a position on the proposal, including the legislative tax study committee authorized by the Legislature, have concluded that the l' per cent limit would create many more prob lems than It would solve and would be a most undesirable method of achieving needed property tax relief, Tho man added.
