Stilbestrol hormone implants for boosting livestock gains have proved profitable under a wide range of Oregon beef-feeding practices as tested by Oregon State college research workers. Yearling and two-year-old steers receiving stilbestrol im plants in the ear gained about one-half pound a day more on the average than untreated steers, according to . David C. England, OSC animal husband man. The OSC scientist conduct ed 10 feeding trials under wide ly different feeding conditions during the past year in coopera tion with Oregon ranchers and county extension agents. New Testing Speeds Location Of Reactors Oregon dairymen may not i Beagle, in charge of federal vet- realize it, but the new brucello sis testing program through the milk ring test will step up the drive to locate reactors. This is the word of the State Brucellosis Advisory committee, which met in Salem August 15 to review procedures now under way also to study the new regu lations governing this program. Members of the committee, named in July by the governor are Al W. Lindow, Portland, chairman; Louis J. Wettstem, Ontario: Rod McKenzie, Sixes; Larry Williams, Canyon City; and Pat Cecil, Burns. Albert Julian, Scio, substituted for Mc Kenzie at the August meeting. First official ring tests are being conducted in the federal state laboratories attached to the state department of agriculture. The Initial samples are coming from the Portland area. At least two times each year the ring test will be performed on all fluid milk samples going through the state department of agriculture dairy laboratories and the municipal milk inspec tion laboratories at Portland, Eugene. Astoria and Medford. Also all milk that can be col lected at creameries, cheese fac tories, receiving stations and other manufacturing plants will be subjected to the ring test at Salem. Dairy herds suspicious to the milk ring test must be blood tested. A. . The committee believes this will increase the benefits of bru cellosis testing because of the more frequent check on the herd than has been possible in the past. . While use of the ring test is new here, Oregon leaders believe its use in other states has pro gressed sufficiently that it may now be .'afely incorporated into the Oregon control program. The ring test is one of the procedures recommended by the federal gov ernment in the accelerated bru cellosis program. The brucellosis advisory com mittee also believes that range counties in the state will now rfri toward reaching brucello sis certification, particularly be cause the new law and the regu lations guiding its operations are designed to make the movement of clean cattle easier. In another new development to speed up the certification pro gram in Oregon, the suite is now taking blood samples in slaugh terhouses and sales yards, lne results of these tests are being credited, where the animals are free of brucellosis, to the official standing of the herd from which they originated. This will count in the county history record when it comes up for recertif ica- tion. T hi s brucellosis committee acts in an advisory capacity to the state department of agricul ture in all phases of the new eradication program. Depart ment officials attending the Au gust meeting were Robert J. Steward, director; M. E. Knicker bocker, chief, and Dr. K. J. Peterson, state veterinarian, both in the division of animal indus try. Also present were Dr. A. G. erinarians in Oregon, and his as sistant, Dr. O. J. Halverson. The advisory board reports that copies of the -new regula tions governing the brucellosis program (and also tuberculosis and paratuberculosis) were sign ed August 6 by Director Steward and are now available. Anyone interested may obtain a copy by writing to the state department of agriculture at Salem. Eaele Point. 2nd with a aheeo feeder. and Allen Barnes of Crater. 3rd with a ladder.

As fast as possible it will cover known infestations in western Oregon. When the spray equipment enters an area, ad vance word will be given. At the same time, Director Robert J. Steward said that all 1957 revisions or additions to agricultural laws administered by the department were effect ive on August 20. Anyone inter ested may obtain .copies of any of the laws by writing to the de partment at Salem. The 1957 acts which became effective this week are: Grade A milk audit law Under it the department will determine by audit of milk deal ers, including cooperatives, the uses of all grade A milk received by plants. Hay dealers' law This re quires licensing and bonding of all buyers of Oregon-grown hay and forage plants not intended for buyers' own use. This law includes forage plants used for feed, which brings such items as pea vines and other silage under this law, which is a new one. Livestock district law a new feature makes the depart ment of agriculture a hearing agency to determine present dis trict boundaries within a period of one year. It also makes the department a central depository of information on all district boundaries. (This is related to the fence laws which were re duced to less than 200 words, with the exception of fencing of railroad rights-of-way, which remain unchanged.) Agricultural seeds House keeping amendments, the prin cipal features of which deal with germination dates on the label and increase of license fee (the first increase in 20 years) from S2.50 to S5 annually, effective on December 31. Herbicide law Provides for department investigation on re quest of alleged damages from use of weed killers. A second amendment to this law was spon sored by the tax commission and affects the taxation and creation of control districts. Warehouse act Amendments relate primarily to procedures in cases of shortage or quitting business. Voluntary poultry inspection A new program under which poultry and rabbit slaughter plants may elect to come under state inspection. Potato law Housekeeping changes dealing with labeling, movement and inspection points. Several other 1957 laws com ing under the department juris diction became effective earlier, either through emergency clauses or specific dates named in the law. These include the compulsory meat inspection law; brucellosis eradication; livestock auction markets; the new rag weed laws; the fluid milk act; the act reducing meat dealer li censes; brand inspection and re cording; and the revisions in the state board of agriculture. MAKES PILGFIMAGE Bordeaux, France (IP) Dr. Albert Schweitzer made a pil grimage to the high Pyreness monastery where he spent much of his time during World War I.

Seattle Woman Gets " Bad Case of Goose Bumps; Sees Big Boa Seattle -fi A wandering boa constrictor gave a Seattle housewife a few bad moments Tuesday before police dis patched the reptile with a shovel. Mrs. Ralph Heaton. 47, said she got a bad case of goose bumps when she spotted the six-foot boa slithering around her backyard. Mrs. Heaton called the po lice, who are still trying to determine where the snake came from. Ashland Resident Elected To Board Sterling Fryrear, Ashland, has been elected to the execu tive board of the Ancient Order of Blotch. Other executive board mem bers are Chester Green, Union; Jim Coffee, Salem. Ed Mullen, in charge of brand inspections at the North Portland stock yards, is the new grand master of the AOB. Other 1957-58 offic ers are Elmore Nicholson, Fort Klamath, assistant grand master; Elmer Stukel, Merrill, treasur er; Lee Hunsaker, Lakeview, keeper of the irons. Several western states have asked the Oregon department of agriculture for information about the ancient Order of Blotch. This is an organization of livestock brand inspectors the first of its kind in the nation. Inquiring states want the AOB constitution, by-laws and initia tion ceremony. Presumably this is a forerunner to organizing in other states.' Oregon officials are pleased with this outside interest for they hope that th AOB will spread nationwide or at least to every state employing live stock brand inspectors. Oregon's AOB, formed a year ago, held its first annual meet ing in August. The members presented a handsome . silver belt buckle with the order's brand to Gene Kunkel, retiring president who was recently pro moted from inspector at Red mond to the Salem district as a livestock officer. The group also presented a silver plaque to T. A. Matschiner,' Salem, in appre ciation of the idea which devel oped into the -order. Matschiner is the department's supervising livestock officer in this field. The order now has about 80 members, including 21 initiated this month. Honorary members inducted at the annual meeting were: Robert J. Steward, direc tor of agriculture; Ed Coles, Prineville, secretary of the Ore gon Cattlemen's association; and three members of the livestock advisory board: Tom McElroy, Vale; Alfred Boquist, Tillamook; and Kent Magruder, Clatskanie. Navy To Build Sub Killer at Groton Groton, Conn. (IP) The Navy is embarking on a new phase of its atomic undersea pro gram with a contract award to General Dynamics Corp. for what it calls an "anti-sub sub marine." This new sub will be built at the corporation's Electric Boat yards, which already have turned out three big nuclear powered submarines, and are completing the Navy's largest, and also the fastest submersibles. The anti-sub submarine, first of a killer -type, will be the smallest unit of the fleet and will have the single purpose of tracking down enemy subs and eliminating them. Speed will be sacrificed for maneuverability and "maximum capacity to kill." It will have a surface displace ment of 1,950 tons. The Navy has not released its overall length, nor when the keel will be laid. CRYING ON THE INSIDE Montgomery, Ala.
