The Heppner Gazette-Time, Heppner. Oregon, Thursday, May 22, 19fM FIFTEEN o o Oregon State University'! school of veterinary medicine Is offering a new service that i can save dollars, and live stock, for the state's ranchers. The university' veterinary cSiagnositc laboratory is now performing on, the second Wednesday of every month Public NotiM tests to determine selenium levels In livestock, particu larly sheep and cattle. A lack of selenium in an animal's diet causes white muscle disease, characterized by calcification of muscles in hindquarters and the heart. And Oregon Is notorious for its PtttileNotict selenium-deficient soil which, in turn, produces selenium-deficient feed. "You can determine fairly accurately with a selenium analysis whether or not an animal is getting adequate selenium in its diet, but until recently it's been an ex- Public Motic ts-i NOTICE Of BUDCSTT HtAJttNO Port of Morrow '-ft-! --.k-..

"Most livestock producers simply could not afford to pay $26 to get one analysis, and one test from a herd or flock wasn't really enough to de termine the selenium status of all a producer's livestock anyway," he said. However, with improved laboratory procedures and equipment, the cost of an analysis done at OSU's de partment of agricultural che mistryhas dropped drama tically, from $26 to $6 per animal. And OSU's Veterinary Diag nostic Laboratory has sliced the cost even more. By testing an enzyme, glutathione peroxidase, which contains selenium, the lab is charging $4 for the first sample from a herd or flock. and $2 after (hat for each additional animal tested. "This cost-cutting measure is possible," said Schmitz, "because we're using a differ ent test, and because as the veterinary school has de veloped (it's completing its first year of classroom opera tions this spring) we've been able to expand our instrumen tation facilities, and increase our expertise with additional personnel."

'X V 425-QQQ S Nv A wheat marketing tour of Portland has been set up for Morrow County wheat grow ers on June 5 and 6. according to Bob Jepsen. the marketing committee chairman for wheat growers in the county. The tour group will leave Heppner at 7:30 a.m. June 5 and return around 8 p.m. the following day. On the first day the tour will include luncheon aboard the River Queen in Portland and visits to two terminals to inspect grain handling facilities and container-shipment loading. The day will conclude with wine tasting at the Oak Knoll Winery. The second day will feature a discussion of commodity futures trading and a visit to the Portland Grain Exchange. Luncheon will be with the Portland Chamber of Com merce agricultural commit tee. A tentative bakery tour has been planned prior to the group's return. Reservations should be made with Harold Kerr.

Americans support conservation ethic, federal agricultural survey indicates Results of a national survey of the public's attitudes on several major agricultural issues, including conservation of soil, water and related resources, were released re cently by M. Rupert Cutler, assistant secretary of agricul ture for natural resources and environment. "The survey revealed that most American people believe more soil and water conserva tion is needed and are committed to a conservation ethic." Cutler said. "A major ity also favors a public and private partnership to resolve soild and water problems." ' Louis Harris and Associ ates. Inc.. interviewed 7,010 adults representing a cross section of the nation's popula tionduring the survey, con ducted between Oct. 19 and Nov. 21. 1979. "We conducted the survey to assess the public's opinions, attitudes and understanding of soil and water conservation problems and practices." Cut ler siad. "We will use the findings to help design future USDA soil and water conser vation programs." Other questions sought public opin ion on such issues as gasohol. small farms and priorities in land use. Some of the survey's major findings are: Half of all Americans consider misuse of our soil and water resources a serious problem. 53 percent consider the loss of good farmland a serious problem. People see conservation as a joint public and private responsibility and feel the burden should be shared fairly between government and FROM CV.C TRUCK farmer or other landowner. By seven to one, Ameri cans accept federal action to protect farmland from erosion as a proper role for govern ment. Americans support the concepl of small, family farms and federal policies aimed at preserving and Meeting delayed There will be no Farmers Home Administration Rural Housing meeting on May 26 or 27. The meeting will be held the following Monday, June 2. in the FmHA office in Pendle-. ton. according to K. Wayne Durrell. county supervisor for the FmHA.

The public consistently indicated a preference for allocating a greater share of soil and water resources to agriculture specifically to food production rather than to competing housing, indus trial, energy or recreation uses. . More th5n three-fourths of American feel we have not reached the point in soil and water conservation efforts where we should be more concerned about holding down costs than completing the work that remains to be done. Forecast on winter wheat A survey of crop acreages and the latest livestock numbers is being conducted nationwide by the Economics, Statistics and Cooperatives Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In Oregon the survey will be directed by the Oregon Crop and Livestock Reporting Service, headed by Paul M. Williamson. This survey will provide the basic ingredients for two major reports. The Acreage Report, which will be issued June 27, will estimate the acreage planted this spring to all major crops. The Cattle Report, to be issued July 28. will provide the latest count of cattle inventory and the expected 1980 calf crop. These reports are available to the public through the Oregon Crop and Livestock Reporting Service. A sample of 3.000 Oregon farms and ranches will be chosen to insure reaching a cross-section of Oregon agriculture. While the farmers' participation in this survey is voluntary, his cooperation is vital to the development of reliable indications of today's agricultural situation. Williamson said. Crop and livestock estimates help stabilize market conditions and prices for producers by removing uncertainties caused by rumors and trade guesses. Forty trained interviewers will be collecting these data from farm operators for all counties in Oregon beginning today. Measure the wind, jirtt Before buying a home wind machine for power production, measure the winds over a period of time, an Oregon State University atmospheric scientist suggests. Robert W. Baker helps head OSU "wind prospecting" studies that are designed to locate favorable sites for placement of utility-sized wind generators. Small wind machines are still "pretty expensive." says Baker. "The wind is free and a renewable resource but the machines that convert wind into electricity are not. To get state tax credits, the wind machine must provide 10 percent of the energy needs. Baker explained. "We can generalize and say that the coast and the Columbia Gorge areas have good wind power potential and that some places in the Willamette Valley and eastern Oregon have promise. But on-the-spot measurements are always advised as part of the evaluation process." Baker concluded. Acreage and livestock survey Oregon's 1980 winter wheat production is forecast at 54.5 million bushels, based on conditions as of May 1, according to the Oregon Crop and Livestock Reporting Service. This year's expected crop is 14 percent more than a year earlier and 15 percent above 1978. Acreage for harvest, at 1.16 million is 16 percent more than last year and 5 percent above 1978. Projected yield, at 47 bushels per acre, is one bushel below last year's output but 4 bushels above the 1978 crop.
