BOY AND CALF-This calf was only a day old when this

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

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.
Judges at the Jaeksoe Cobb
ty 4-H and FFA Mr will be

depth in body. The top line
should be straight, the back
short, the loin wide aad well
covered and the ramp loog. '
The Angus is known tor bsv
ing a deep, buljtag quarter
and are nearly always deep
in the twisS. '
GROOMING COW-Dale Vaughn, Eagle
Point FFA chapter member, applies the
finishing touches to grooming his Black
Angus cow in front of the hay barn at the
Vincent Vaughn ranch at Brownsboro.
Dale has seven Angus and plans to enter
all of them in the annual Jackson County
4-H and FFA fair which starts Saturday,
Dale is developing a pure-bred Black An
gus herd at his father's ranch with money
he has earned while doing ranch, ehores.
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

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.
