Free Parkins Free Delivery Reports on Livestock Scheduled by Planning Council Those attending the Jackson county planning council meeting in the courthouse auditorium to day were to hear reports and recommendations from commit tees on dairy, beef cattle, poul try, sheep, swine and miscel laneous livestock. The committees have been studying these phases of agricul ture in the county since October. The dairy committee stated in its report that surplus milk and other manufacturing of milk is the most serious problem of the industry. Suggested solutions in clude requiring that all milk meet sanitary requirements for Grade A, which would necessi tate changes in sanitary laws to some degree. Minimum Requirements Another plan would call for minimum requirements for buildings and equipment, but would place more emphasis on bacteria count, sediment and temperature of the milk as it ar rives at the market. This plan would put more emphasis on care and sanitation in production than on buildings and equip ment. Members of the committee recommended that producers and distributors work together to educate consumers to advan tages of using locally produced milk. The committee has con cluded that the quota system as used on local markets is the best method now known and recom mends that it be continued. It vtas also recommended that the dairy industry consider means of increasing the price of factory milk to the producer and that producers consider the pos sibility of export markets. Another suggestion was that the Oregon and California depart ments of agriculture standardize requirements for producing Grade A milk. Recommends Silos The committee recommended that a dairy include at least one acre of good irrigated pasture for each cow kept and that the bunker type self feeding silos be used. It was also recommend prt that the minimum herd size for a one man operation be set at 40 cows. On larger operations using a pipeline milker, the com mittee suggests a 100 cow herd as a day's work for one milker. Committee members favored each dairyman removing from his herd all cows not producing enough to be profitable rather than have the federal govern ment purchase surplus dairy products to help stabilize prices. The committee, recognizing r. istitis and brucellosis as major cow diseases in this area, recom mended use of control methods advocated by local veterinar ians. It was also recommended that in the interest of general economy, the county court make its weed spraying equipment and manpower available at cost or less to cattleowners who co operate by organizing their neighbors so a solid block of cat- tie can be sprayed on the same day and by furnishing the Rote ! none for spraying their own j cattle. Sanitary Production , To the state department of agriculture, the committee rec ommends a review of laws per taining to sanitary production of milk with two aims in mind. The first aim would be to reduce as much as practical require ments of buildings and equip ments and in its place, put more stress on milk arriving at the market low in bacteria, sediment and temperature. The second would be to make Oregon laws more uniform with those of Cal ifornia. The committee also urges the department to strictly enforce laws pertaining to ille gal sales of milk. The beef cattle committee rec ommended that more purebred herds of beef cattle be developed in Jackson county with reserva tions and cautions as to quality and breeding standards. Closer relationships between the pure bred breeder and the range or commercial cattle operator was also recommended. Testing and vaccination were listed as among the most import ant disease controls. A commu nity spray project was suggested as the most feasible solution to the heel-fly problem. Culling Considered The committee recommended the following considerations in culling: type, milking qualities, age, breeding, kind of calf pro duced, thriftiness and slow, late or non-breeders. For range management im provement, the committee made 10 recommendations, including rotated or controlled grazing, re seeding to an adapted forage grass all disturbed areas immedi-atel:- following logging, slash burn or skid roads and landiitg yards, encourage and cooperate with government agencies in re seeding lands, exploration of economic methods of brush de struction and reseeding tech niques on private lands, and util ize to the fullest extent commod ity credit corporation surplus forage crop seeds. The committee recommended that a program of brush and non edible weed control be encour aged by using controlled burn ing, mechanical brush removal and brush killing chemicals in spray applications. Committee members acknowl edged that marketing is the main problem of the livestock indus try. Therefore, it was recom mended that consignment be disco-raged since consignment sell ing of live cattle for slaughter eliminates bargaining power of the producer and when enlarged in scope will tend to destroy competitive buying. Good mar keting methods applied to all classes of cattle is of importance to all producers of cattle, it was stated. Four Problems The committee on sheep, swine and miscellaneous live stock noted four problems facing sheep producers: . marketing, parasites and disease, predators and dogs and buying quality feeders. It was recommended that farmers with sheep pay more at tention to marketing wool in the best condition, consistent with his operation. The committee does not recommend feeding lambs to high choice or prime when it is necessary to purchase grain and other concentrates to accomplish this. It was recommended that wherever possible, shipments be pooled to make a truckload and that when practical the load be made up of lambs which are uni form in size and finish. It was suggested that more ef fort be expended to encourage local meat markets to feature lamb in their retail sales. Com mittee members said more sheep could be profitably raised in Jackson county and these should be mostly small farm flocks pri marily aimed at utilizing feed which might otherwise be wast ed or marketed inefficiently. One method of increasing the number of sheep in the county would be to make breeding stock available for 4-H and FFA projects, the committee said. Possibility of one of the large packing companies establishing a slaughter house either in Jack son or Klamath county was also discussed. Sheep Diseases Stomach worms, liver fluke and white muscle were discussed as major sheep diseases and sev eral suggestions were made for , avoiding these diseases. Coyotes were noted as a seri ous problem in many areas of the county and the committee i recommended raising bounty from $5 to $10. If this cannot be done, the committee recom-! mends removing the bounty en tirely and using the money to hire more professional trappers. 1 Committee members commended the dog control committee and the present dog control officer for efficient and prompt meth ods used in dealing with dog problems. Marketing, high feed costs and disease and parasites were listed as important problems related to swine raising. The committee acknowledged that prices for fat hogs in the Medford area aver age three cents per pound under prices for the same quality hogs in Portland. High feed costs make it desir able to obtain a source of low cost feed, the committee stated. Cooked garbage, bakery waste and dried pears were suggested as low cost feed sources. A good vaccination program and care ful sanitation were recommend ed to keep the disease problem at a minimum. The committee recommended that growing of goats be largely confined to use in clearing brush and cautioned against fur farm ing as a hazardous occupation because of current low prices for pelts as opposed to high costs of feeds and labor. The committee emphazide that those consider ing investing money in fur ani mals such as chinchilla and nu tria investigate the markets for furs of this type and get infor mation from 'a disinterested party. Poultry committee members stated that because Oregon is rapidly approaching the time when it will produce more eggs than it will consume, the profit margin per hen will lessen in proportion to the surplus supply. Could Make Success They noted, however, there is still an opportunity for an ex perienced poultryman, soundly financed, to make a success of a commercial egg farm, but the future does not appear too good. Concerning broilers, the com mittee said a sideline venture with retail sales may add to a family income, but probably only will net a low return per hour of labor. With regard to hatching egg flocks, the commit tee said there is little opportu nity for an increase in hatching egg flocks in the county at the present time. Members noted, however, that profits can still be obtained with a light breed hatching egg flock provided a hatchery contract can be obtained. The committee named expan- of turkey breeder hens as 'one bright spot" in local sion the poultry conditions. The needed investment is high, they said, but financing is available for ex perienced operators with good credit ratings. ' - 3 SAVE MONEY! DO IT YOURSELF!
