FRIDAY) AUGUST 12. 1980 MEDFORD MAIL TBIBOHE, MEDFOR0, ORE. ? t i i '"' f BOY AND CALF-This calf was only a day old when this picture was taken of Dale Vaughn, Eagle Point FFA chap ter members and his Angus calf. Dale, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Vaughn, Brownsboro, has seven head of Black Angus at the 200 acre ranch. He started his herd with an FFA chain animal donated by the Sears and Roebuck foundation. Mrs. Neuberger Urges Action on Klamath Timber Portland - Early Congres sional action to incorporate Klamath Indian reservation timber valued at $90 million into the National Forest sys tem was urged today by Mrs. Maurine Neuberger, Demo cratic candidate for the United States Senate, after sale of the last tract of Indian reservation timber failed to attract an im mediate private bidder. Mrs. Neuberger said she had received word from Washing ton, D. C, that bid opening on the final unit of Indian tim ber passed without a firm of fer, although units unsold at earlier sales would be re-advertised later this fall. The sales were part of the program for termination of Federal su pervision of Klamath tribal assets. "Vtfnrts in attract orivate purchasers for the Klamath Indian timber have failed, so legislative action must be has tened to assure payments to Klamath Indians who have voted to withdraw from the tribe," Mrs. Neuberger said. "This would help Oregon's lagging economy and permit earlier U. S, Forest Service sustained yield management and marketing of the Indian timber." Mrs, Neuberger, wife of the late Senat&r Richard L. Neu berger who sponsored legisla tion to save the Klamath pine forests and wildlife marshes, said an early take-over of the timber land could be accom plished through a simple amendment of the Klamath termination act moving up the effective date from January 1, 1961.

Angus, Hereford Competition Lively Probably the liveliest cons- petition or arguments between two groups of breeders or beef raisers is on Angus vs, Hereford. More and more black Angus are coming into Jackson eoua ty. Some weli known herds are those owned by Armin Hiehter, Applegate; Siira Har din, Phoenix; and John Ostein tout, Eagie Point. The well known Harold Hoots herd. Grants Pass, has taken top prizes at the Cow Palace to San Francisco and the Pacific Internationa! Exposition. Har din's entries in last year's Cow Paiace event also took top rankings, tittle is known about the early ' origin of the cattle which originated in Scotland and became known as the Aberdeen-Angus breed. The Angus became known in Scot land about the middie of the nineteenth century. A Scottish tenant farmer, William McCombse, TUiyfour, is called the preserver and great improver of the Aberdeen-Angus breed when cross breeding with Shorthorns threatened it with extinction. He carefully planned mattogs, used careful management and took top prizes with his cattle in the show ring. He produced the famous show animal Black Prince which was later taken to Windsor CasUe for the inspection of Queen Vic toria. MeCombie was also the first tenant farmer in Scotland to be elected to fee House of Commons. First in America Sir George Simpson, an of ficial of the Hudson Bay com pany at Montreal received the first Black Angus sn America, In 1873 a Scotchman Jss Vic toria, Kans., imported tour Angus. First registered cattle came to Lake Forest, BL is 1878. Numerous mid western breeders had a hand m foster tog the Angus breed, J. Gar rett Tolan, Pleasant Plains, lit, established a herd to 1901 and is known as perhaps the outstanding Aberdeen- Angsss breeder in America. The descendents of Ms out standing buii, EHeenmere 4th, are prominent in the Hoots herd. Also seen ia that herd is (he Rosemere blood line. This famous Angus herd was established in Maquokets, Iowa, and Los OHvas, Calif. The main part of ihta herd was sent to Yakims, Wash, m the early ISWfi after the Olia V, Battles-Walter CoEgdoa partnership was Sormed. This partnership was dissolved ta 1938 and operatiaas ta Yak ima, Wash., discoisttossd ia 1947, Became Popular This breed has become as popular that by Dee. 31, 1SSS, over 2,381,500 head of Angus had been registered to the United States.

Male Chicks Help To Defeat Hens' Insect Problems Riverside, Calif. - Science Service) - Young male chicks are used to eliminate files around laying hens in a new fly-control system developed by a technician, John Rodri guez, at the University of California here. Previous methods have involved the use of poison sprays or mists. However, Rodriguez method is to place young male chicks (cockerels) under the cages of the hens. The cockerels eat almost all fly larvae and pupae, thereby eliminating thousands of po tential flies. The method, in addition to being safer and more fool proof, is less expensive, be cause hatcheries, where the rancher would normally get his chicks, will provide the males free, as they are un productive. The rancher rais es the chicks in a brooder, in oculates them against disease, and releases them under the cages of his hens, where they proceed to eat the' larvae. Main Disadvantages There are three main dis advantages to the older chem ical prevention: 1. Chemicals that at one time were effective are be coming less so, due to the building up of an immunity by Uie rises. 2. Chemical control involv- I Big 20th 0 es the danger of a toxic resi-, due on birds and eggs. 3. Chemicals are expensive. Also, there is additional costt for application. On one of the farms that tried Rodriguez system on an experimental basis, 750 cock erels were used to control flies among 35,000 laying hens; however, if the Ins ct problem is severe, one chick might be needed for each 10 or 20 hens.
