tampediu. Inadequate water
holes and cuttle rustlers were
among the many problems that
regularly confronted watchful
cowboys.
Mrs. Ghetta Cox rushed him to
Pioneer Memorial hospital where
Doctors Tibbies and Wolff clean-
d the open wound. Cox was
ill in February and was still
recuperating. Loss of his fing
ers will require a long period
of adjustment since he was
right handed. He still expects to
be able to write and use light
tools, though, using his thumb
and first finger.
In spite of the shock to his
system, Cox Is "as good as can
be expected", according to his
wife. He will be in the hospital
for an indefinite length of time.
Marvin Cox, a son, flew to
Pendleton from Springville,
Utah, as soon as he was noti

farm until Friday when he will
probably have to fly home. He
runs a drive-in theater which is
being managed by his son dur

Lester and Marvin Cox cut a
load of barley Tuesday morning
and expect to be harvesting the
rest of the week.

Meat Inspection
Law Changes Told
Overhaul of the state meat
Inspection laws bv the 1909 leg
lslature relieved farmers of the
necessity of securing a bona
fide producer's tag, sometimes
referred to as a sheriff's tag. to
attach to carcasses of meat anl
mals, effective July 1, 19.
However, revisions made to
meet minimum requirements of
the Federal Wholesome Meat
Act prevent any establishment
which may sell meat from hand
ling any uninspected meat.
This means that an owner of
livestock who slaughters his
own animal or has It slaughter
ed by a mobile slaughter unit
may have it hung, cut and
wrapped only at those places
licensed as custom slaughter and
processing establishments or as
food handling establishments
uninspected meat.
However, if an animal Is
slaughtered at a plant under
inspection the owner may have
it hung, cut and wrapped at any
licensed establishment.
Previously under the Oregon
law there were no restrictions
on where uninspected meat was
hung, cut and wrapped, but un
Inspected meat was required to
have the carcass marked "unin
spectcd" with a roller and pack
ages or uninspected meat re
quired to be marked "uninspect
ed".
Amendments in the law re
moved the requirement for roll
ing the meat carcass with "un
inspected".
Dr. M. L. Houston, supervisor
of the Oregon Department of
Agriculture's meat inspection
service, said that under the law
as amended there is nothing to
prevent the owner of an inspect
ed plant from also operating
custom slaughter and process
ing establishment or a food
handling establishment unin
spected meat.
However, the two facilities
would have to be physically sep
arated and not have any com
mon entrances or any interior
access from one establishment
to the other.

Although todays cattle are
still partly fed on the range or
In pastures, they spend much
of their time being fed and
housed In feed lots, sheltered
from the evils that plnutd
meir ancestors.
According to the Agri-Business
Council, there are 4119 feedlot
in Oregon. Most are located In
the feed -producing areas cast of
the Ca.scades. The Columbia Ba
sin is the state's most Import
ant cattle-feeding area, follow
ed by Central Oregon.
Jim Brooks, chairman of the
Oregon Beef Council and vice
president of the Agrl Business
Council, Is one of the state's
larger feedlot operators. At his
ranch In Madras. Brooks feeds
2.500 head of cattle at one time.
The pens cover 20 acres.
Brooks observes that the beef
Industry is the largest and one
of the fastest growing agricul
tural segments in the U. S. He
attributes this growth to consu
mer demand. Per capita con-1
sumption of beef has increase
from 66 pounds In 1918 to 112
pounds today. Brooks Is quick to
mention that it takes less of
the family budget to buy beef
today than it did in 1918, mak
ing it an economical food, not
a luxury item.
The feedolt operations have
made beef a better product. Pen
feeding provides nerfect crow
ing conditions for beef animals,
Cattle are grown as rapidly as
possible, often gaining 3 pounds
per day. This quick, new weight
creates the most tender, juicy
meat possible.
Although Oregon's feedlot
business is Increasing, only one-
third of the states calves are
fed here. The remainder arc
shipped to feed lots in other
states.
In comparison. California
f-els nearly three times as
many cattle as It produces.
liiiH.k KdVH bv feeding an
other 400.000 head of cattle In
Oregon, we could add $60 mil
lion to the state's economy an
nually. He believes the animal
feeding business will show a
substantial gain In Oregon with
in the next several years.
The big breakthrough will
come," he said, "when we can
purchase wheat which Is bred
specially for livestock feed."
According to Brooks, "We have
the market, we have the cat
tie. and we have a good clim
ate In which to fatten our beef
animals. When we establish a
stable feed grain supply at a
comnetitive price level we will
see more of these 400,000 feed
ers and calves stay In Oregon
and we will begin to realize
the benefits of this $00 million
business that Is resting on our
doorstep.

Thoughtful Lawn
Care Saves Woe
Warm weather, the next two
months, increases the need for
proper watering of yards and
gardens, reminds Harold Kerr,
County Agent.
Newly planted ornamentals
and lawn do not have the root
systems established deeply
enough to absorb sufficient
moisture. In most cases, the root
system is developed to pick up
deep moisture.
If possible, it is best to water
in the morning when it is cool,
or late in the evening. If lawns
are watered during the heat of
the day, one loses about 40 per
cent of the water to evaporation.
When water is applied, it
should be applied slowly so that
it can penetrate to the depth
of the root zone. Water applied
on the ground in large quanti
ties win soak in. At high rates
of application it will fill the
low spots without covering the
areas effectively. This causes a
considerable loss of water.
Plants with fibrous root svs
terns suffer greatly when ade
quate moisture is not there. Ov
erall vigor and vitality of plant
is reduced. A good percent of
all summer brown spot prob
lems in lawns is due to water
ing problems. Water applied too
late, too little, or too fast simp
ly does not penetrate the slight
undulations or "humps", found
in all lawns. The result is brown
spots, not from lawn moths, but
from lack of water in spots.
Many other plants also re
spond adversely to inadequate
summer moisture. Pines may
arop tneir needles prematurely.
Arborvitae hedges show dead
"sprays" of foliage, especially in
the lower half of the plant. Pink
flowering dogwoods may re
spond with a twig dieback in
spring after the drought period.
Watering is so "simple" that
we take it for granted. Little
thought is given to the why and
how of watering. As a result,
watering causes many garden
ing problems illustrated bv the
few examples above.
Wise Warning
Leaving half used packages of
chemical around the home can
be real serious, notes Harold
Kerr, County Agent. Children or
pets can be seriously harmed by
some chemicals.
Generally, all toxic chemicals
will have a statement of warn
ing such as "Keep Out of the
Reach of Children."
All pestk-ides must have a
"Signal Word" on the label to
show how toxic (poisonous)
they are. For example:
Poison or Danger and the
Skull and Crossbones must ap
pear in red on the label of high
ly toxic pesticides.
Warning must be on the label
of all moderately toxic pesti
cides.
Caution must be on the label
of all slightly toxic pesticides
No signal word is required on
the label when the pesticides are
almost non-toxic. Many of the
pesticides in this group are less
toxic than table salt.
It is most important to know
what a chemical is to be used
for. so that it will do the lob
afely. After the pest or prob
lem has been identified, the la
bel becomes the most important
factor in making the final pur-
hase. The label will tell you
what the contents can be used
on, what it will control, howi
use it, warn you about haz-
rds that may be invoved, etc.
Read the label before buying
the chemical. Read it again be
fore using it and then be sure
follow instructions carefully,
especially the Signal Word mes
sages.
