HEPPNER GAZETTE -TIMES. Thursday, September 8. 1966 County Agent's Office Stockmen Request County Be Listed 'Disaster Area Gt gene winters Morrow County Extension Agent Morrow County Livestock Growers association board of directors last week recommend ed that Morrow County be de clared a disaster area so that certain I'SDA program benefits will be available to eligible stockmen. Following this recom mendation a narrative and sta tistical report must be prepared to present the facts about the livestock feed situation in Mor row county. This week the county I'SDA disaster committee is making an inventory of livestock, feed grains, hav and pasture in the county as required by the state I'SDA disaster committee. As a result, all county livestock oper ators, feed grain growers, hay producers and pasture owners will receive a returnable card re questing information needed to prepare the Morrow countv re quest. To provide the best infor mation possible, persons receiv ing the questionnaire are asked to complete and return in the next mail. Counties designated disaster areas become eligible for spe cial I'SDA programs. These in clude grazing or haying USDA retired areas, such as the Con servation Reserve. CCC owned feed grains at reduced prices and emergency loans to eligible ranchers. The Farmers Home Adminis tration administers the emer gency loan program. Other pro grams are handled by the Ag ricultural Stabilization and Con servation Committee, If the gov ernment declares Morrow coun ty a disaster area. Sheep Sale Slated We have received notice of the annual sheep sale from the flocks of the U. S. Sheep Exper iment Station and the Western Sheep Breeding Laboratory at Dubois, Idaho. The sale is scheduled for 10:00 a.m., September 22, 1966, at Dubois. This year approximately 245 Oregon Will Work On Freight Rates Oregon will continue to wrok with other Pacific Coast states in an effort to reduce freight rates on Midwest feed grains shipped into this area. Representatives of the feed, dairy, poultry and livestock in dustries decided on this ap proach at a meeting August 30 in Salem with representatives of the Oregon Public Utility Commissioner and Oregon De partment of Agriculture. Present plans are for Califor nia to call an early September meeting at which a coordinated program would be planned. Rapid disappearance of U. S. grain inventories precludes the use of wheat for livestock nad poultry feed for at least the coming year. It is exerting up ward pressure on feed grain prices in general and as a re sult Pacific Coast feeders are finding it more difficult to com pete with other areas.

Growers receiving allocations of Nugaines are Kenn e t h Smouse, Don Evans, McElligott Brothers, Melvm Mover, nelson Brothers, Kenneth Peck, Ken Turner, and Lloyd Howton. About 6.700 pounds of Nu gaines registered class seed was received. Three growers received Wan- ser foundation seed for fall planting. Thev are Orval Ma- theny, McElligott Brothers and Irvin Rauch. Research Shows Creep Feeding Improves Weight By GAIL McCABTT Morrow County Agent Some of our Oregon cattlemen who are in a position to creep feed their beef calves will find this report interesting. A 4-year study In Florida that involved 661 calves from five breed groups showed that creep feeding for approximately 60 days prior to weaning increased the weaning weights of calves 30 pounds and raised the mar- I ket grade at weaning one-third of a grade. The creep-fed calves ate an average of 583 pounds of creep feed for each 100 pounds they gained over the weight of non creep fed calves. The straightbred British calves ate the most feed, the crossbred foundation calves ate the next most feed, and the Brahmans ate very little feed. Response of the various breeds was in gen eral, positively related to feed intake and negatively related to the assumed milking ability of the dams. Postweaning gain of 251 re placement heifer calves was 18 pounds in favor of the calves that were not creep-fed before weaning. This compensat o r y gain was not sufficient to com pletely offset the preweaning advantage for creep-fed calves. These maintained a 10-pound advantage in weight at 19 months of age. Creep-feeding had no effect on the weight gain of the dams during the nursing period.

While in the area the team was brief ed on wheat supplies, quality, price and also Included were visits to export facilities, bakeries, and meetings with USDA of ficials. Last year Sawabe reported that Japan imported 650.000 metric ton of Pacific Northwest White wheat and this year they expect to import 820.000 metric tons of White wheat Most ot the wheat from our area is used for noodles and pastries. Japan is the U. S. leading cash buyer of wheat Since the end of World War II wheat consumption in Japan has risen from 33 pounds per capita to 75 pounds. White rice consumption has dropped from 335 pounds to 220 pounds annually. DON WOODWARD, president League, announced that during a one day visit to Bombay. India, Mrs. OrviUe Freeman, wife of the Secretary of Agricul ture, visited the Sewri Preschool Feeding Center which is lo cated in one of the lowest socio-economic areas. Sixty-seven young children from indigent homes are brought by mothers, or older sisters, to the center six days a week where they are served wheat foods and a glass of reliqutfied dry milk. The picture shows a few ot the mothers and children. From left to right the visiting ladies are: Mrs. Eleanor Lobo, commit tee member ot the Mobile Nutrition Extension Program, Mrs. Freeman. Mrs. Chester Bowles, wife of the U. S. Ambassador to India, Mrs. S. Rodrigues. chairman. Mobile Nutrition Exten sion Program, and Miss Eunice Anchees. general secretary, Bom bay YWCA. After each child consumes every particle of these foods a small banana is given. Height and weight charts have shown considerable increase in the size of the youngsters. Usually they become more active and also have healthier skin. Sewri Preschool Feeding Center was an outgrowth of the Mo bile Nutrition Extension Program in which Western Wheat As sociates, U.S.A. cooperated with the YWCA. Since that program proved so worthwhile, and the two nutritionists were not busy in the mornings, this project was started four years ago, A building was constructed, and two cooks were employed. Church World Service provides the food. The nutritionists suggest in expensive, nutritious foods, which also include wheat products, that the children may be served at home. Big Vote Urged On In Wool and Lamb Market Program All eligible wool growers were urged today to cast their bal lots in the referendum on the wool and lamb market-development program. David McLeod, office manager, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service office, said that he hopes for the most representa tive vote possible. Growers eligible to vote are all those who have owned sheep or lambs six months of age or older for at least 30 consecutive days since last January 1. The vote will be held at the ASC'S county office through Sep tember 23. Voting may be in person or by mail as soon as the ballots are received. The vote will deter mine whether or not deductions will continue to be made from pay ments to producers under the wool program. These deductions finance a program of advertis ing, promotion, and related ac tivities to enlarge or improve the market for wool and lambs. The promotion program is car ried out under an agreement made between the Secretary of Agriculture and the American Sheep Producers Council (ASPC), a producer organization, as au thorized by the National Wool Act. A similar agreement has been in effect since the 1925 market ing year, following approval by growers voting in referendums. For the agreement to be extend ed through 1969, as authorized by law, the September referen dum must show approval by at least two-thirds of the total number of producers voting or by producers having at least two-thirds of the volume of pro duction represented by the to tal vote. If a new agreement is not approved by producers, no deductions will be withheld from payments on 1966 market ings, and ASPC programs will be continued only as long as the present reerve fund permits or until some other agreement may be approved by producers. By approving the proposed new agreement, producers would authorize deductions from pay ments of up to l'a cents a pound on shorn wool and 7 Vie v vS-'J of the Oregon Wheat Growers Referendum cents a hundredweight on un shorn lambs, compared with 1 cent and 5 cents in the past. The higher deductions, recom mended by most of the state and regional member organiza tions of ASPC, would finance moderately expanded promotion programs for both wool and lambs. The office manager said that ballots will be mailed on Sept ember 9, 1906, to all known wool and lamb producers by the ASCS county office, serving the county where the producer's farm or ranch headquarters Is located, and this county office is where the ballots should be cast. Ballots may be mailed to the county office or delivered in person as soon as they are re ceived; they should reach the office no later than the close of business on September 23 in order to be counted.
