COWLEY Mail Tribune Farm Editor A number of interesting reports should come out of the 46th annual convention of the Oregon Cattlemen's associa tion in Redmond Thursday through Sunday. One of these reports should be on brucellosis control. Other important reports should be on freight rates, beef promotion, the Centennial, and membership. The latter category is seeing a lot of activity in Jackson county under the persistent prodding of Armin Richter, local contractor and Angus cattleman on the Applegate. He ex pects to take 25 memberships to the national convention. Some representatives of Jackson county are making the trip to Redmond. These include Leon Offenbacher, Lance Offenbacher, LeRoy Offenbacher and Fritz Offenbacher, Richter, Collier Buffington, Dwain Venecamp and Fred Straub, plus a sprinkling from the distaff side. The Jackson County Chamber of Commerce should be interested in this membership promotion. At the Ontario convention, several people asked the Jackson county dele gates where Jackson county is located in Oregon. Maybe we should have the convention here next time and let 'em know. However, the chamber can't do all the work in that direction. The local cattlemen should argue for Medford as the convention site for next year. MayDe snoux aDoux it" would be a better slogan this time than the usual "Write 'em and invite 'em." Another facet to getting the convention to come here might be the eventual realization by the people and county court of this county that a bigger and better fairgrounds and buildings could accommodate more conventions of this type. Also, maybe it would get the recently elected county fairgrounds committee moving with its study. We haven't from this erouo since the dormitory alarm bell announced the opening county fairgrounds. While we are on the subjects county fairgrounds, we don't think it's fair to accuse the county court of "by-passing" the county fairboard in erecting the present buildings tit. i ; irvmaT-ti'il crnirni that the fair mere, we nave n iiuui oii jmu. - board was consulted on placing the armory and the juvenile ..... . xt -rt-MmAc Trio Vinnrn fi detention nome on me uumnj iousiuuu. --- opposition to the buildings may have been ignored and the decision already made but the board was consulted. t.T a momViprthin drive in the OCA HOW, gelling uavn. -J c Richter had a point when he wrote in the August issue of the Oregon Cattleman, "We have come to realize the ro mance of the business (cattle vs. cowboying) is fast being replaced by the cold facts of merchandising. Most anyone with normal intelligence can buy, make, or raise a product for sale, but it requires a highly trained specialist to market it."

Yesterday we attended the annual October feeder sale sponsored by the Jackson County Stockmen's association and the Midway auction yard out on Table Rock rd. If you missed this one another is scheduled for Dec. 2. This is always an interesting and colorful sight even to those people who are not connected with the cattle business.

We just caught Lester Adams, manager for the Oregon Milk Producers and an Applegate dairyman before he took off for Portland. He said negotiations are underway in the Portland milk shed area between the producers and the distributors there. "It's a might tricky situation," he commented.

According to Lester Adams. OMP manager, producers on the average are receiving approxi mately 12.8 cents per quart for milk sold in the bottle and can trade.

Published Farm Equipment Pays Off For Crater Central Point - Mike Red mond, 16, and his brother, David, 14, Crater high school vocational . agriculture stu dents, own $3,000 worth of farm equipment and make it pay. During the last four sum mers and when other teen age youngsters were complain ing about the lack of spare time jobs these two boys de veloped their own work. Their father, W. C. Red mond, Mail Tribune display classified advertising sales man, and part-time farmer in the Griffith Creek area, financed the boys. To pay him back the boys did custom work with their tractor, mow er and rake. The family were big city dwellers before they came from Portland six years ago. Their father wanted to get out in the country. The boys had to learn as they went along. After paying off their father the boys invested in a car. Mike plans to use his share of any further proceeds to put him through Oregon State college which he hopes to at tend a year from now. The tall, slim, dark, good looking youth has a detailed plan worked out to take training as an agriculture in Fruit Market Trends Hort Society Topic Corvallis The Oregon State Horticultural Society the state's senior farm com modity group has slated its 73rd annual meeting at the Oregon State college, Nov. 20 and 21, to review latest trends in production and mar keting of fruits and vege tables. Mechanical picking of new Blue Lake-type bush beans, latest research in soil fertil ity, weed and insect control, pear tree decline, farm labor, and research in processing fruits and vegetables are among key topics slated for discussion. An estimated 1,000 growers are expected for the meeting, reports secretary C. O. Rawl- ings, OSC extension horticul ture specialist. President Orville Hamilton, Medford, says top scientists, industry representatives, and growers will discuss topics se lected by special committees during the past six months. Committees have , worked closely with growers, field men, and other agricultural leaders in shaping a program to meet the industry's need, Hamilton said. Most of the program Is scheduled into four sectional meetings to handle special interests for growers of small fruits, vegetable crops, apples and pears, and -stone fruits. Sectional meetings open the program Nov. 20 at 9:30 a.m. Two-hour general assem blies are scheduled the open ing afternoon and the morn ing of Nov. 21. Main speakers for the first day general as sembly are W. C.

By teaching at first he figures he will have a steadier income and security while developing his farm enterprise. Mike is a member of the Crater chapter FFA, like his brother, and his project is a registered polled Hereford heifer which he purchased last April from Ralph Cook of Medford. He plans to use her as a foundation animal. Not long ago his heifer had a bull calf which he is keep ing to build his herd. Using these three animals he, his brother and father may form a three-way partnership in raising beef, Mike said. Run Farm . Actually now he and his brother are running the 24 acre farm on the Griffin Creek rd., Vi miles above the Griffin Creek school. Their father's job keeps him busy eight hours plus and the mother is working in the First National Bank of Ore gon, Medford branch. They raise pasture and alfalfa. As mentioned before the boys had had no experience with machinery, especially farm machinery. Mike ad mitted it was "a sort of a rough first year." However, both boys are proud they riculture, who will report on his recent assignment to Thailand. G.

Box 522 Medford, Oregon by the Medford Mail suffered no other injuries than skinned knuckles. As the teenagers moved into custom work they got an experienced man to form a partnership with them. They learned as they went along and paid off for his share. Last year they ran the most complicated equipment - the bailer alone. Such work is not easy and the boys put in a long day from 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., on an average, during the sum mer. They actually start their work the month before school closes and work be for and after school. The same applies to the first month school is in session. Mike isn't sure how this will work when he goes to col lege. They average three main cuttings arid have twe real slack periods of a week or so. They don't carry the hay into the barn, but leave it bailed in the fields for the farmer. Mike says there is little profit in doing the complete opera tion and they don't have the equipment. Later on Mike thinks the enterprising pair might ac quire enough equipment to add field preparation and planting to their services for hire. All this, of course, depends on Mike's schedule. Now he is taking four years of vocational-agriculture in two years. That and his duties as FFA chapter president keeps him plenty busy Asked for tips for other young farmers who may go into custom work, Mike em phasized three points, poten. tial, dependability and pres. tige. Have a big enough poten tial for business. Start with extensive advertising, he sug gests. Be dependable on the job. Don't be afraid to build up prestige by tackling the smaller pieces. The boys gross $2,000 a year with their custom haying business.
