Bull Sale Set
For Red Bluff
RED BLUFF, Calif., July 11
America's largest auction sale ol
bulls, the 6lh Annual Hereford
show, will be held on February
6, 7 and 8, 1947, C. F. Stover,
chairman oi the Tehama County
Cattlemen's committee for the
chow and sale announced today.
Plans for the 1947 event in
clude consignments of 400 bulls,
us compared with the 244 regis
tered animals sold at the 1M46
aiiair.
The committee said that no
females will be handled in 1947
as has been inc practice in the
past. Stover said the purpose of
the sale was to aid in improving
the beef cattle industry.
As a service to large Dull buy
ers the bull sale committee has
eliminated the practice of choic
ing pens of three and five. The
committee said, however, that
there would be enough singles
for small buyers.
Stover said there will be no
judging in addition to grading.
All individual bulls will be grad
ed and divided into grades in the
show ring. Professor Harold
Guilbert and herdsman Alex
McDonald of the university farm
at Davis will judge the first
three in each class, in addition
to grading each bull in each
class.
2 4D, has been used at the rata
of 2 pounds per 100 gallons of
water.
The Southern Pacific railroad
has started spraying its rights-
of-way, using diesel oil because
of the advanced stages of the
plants. Later the weeds will be j
burned so that they will not go
to seed. A five-man crew is do-1
ing the work with the aid of a I
centrifugal pump. I
A reclamation crew is using
2-4 D with hand sprayers on laud
along the canals. Reports indi-1
catc that they are getting good
results.
Many people are doing their
own weed control. C. A. Hender
son, county agent, pointed out
the importance to farmers fight
ing their own weeds as county
organizations cannot hope to
control weed spread.

Noxious Weed
Invades Area
What has been a stranger to
Klamath county in the past,
namely the St. John's wort,
threatens to become more preva
lent as considerable clumps have
been discovered in this section.
This weed is poisonous to white
faced cattle.
St. John's wort, sometimes
called goat weed or Klamath
weed, is found to a great extent
in coast areas stretching from
British Columbia to the Bay dis
trict. Lately is has appeared in
Poe valley, on the Crater lake
road, and on Parker mountain,
A low growing variety has also
been found around Fort Klam
ath but has not proven as serious
and is being held in check.
The weed never exists on
cultivated land but usually
grows along highways or in
wasteland and pastures. It is a
shrublike bush, three to four
feet tall, with yellow blossoms.
If the leaf is held to the light
it appears to be covered with pin
USDA Asks
More Alsike
Clover Seed
The U. S. department of agri
culture is.asking the dinners of
the nation for 32 per cent more
seed of alsike clover than was
harvested in 1U45, according to
C. A. Henderson, county agricul
turist. He said that this request
is of particular interest to Ore
gon because this state produces
20 per cent or more ot the na
tional supply sometimes as
much as a third. The seed is
needed both for domestic use
and for export to war-ravaged
countries.
This area will harvest about
7200 acres in. 1946 and will pro
duce about 3,600,000 pounds ot
alsike seed.
To improve seed yield on each
farm growers should do the fol
lowing: 1. Provide at least a hive of
bees for every acre of alsike.
More bees the better.
2. Mow sweet clover or other
plant attractive to bees if it is
growing adjacent to roadsides,
ditch banks, or fence rows. Make
the bees concentrate upon the
alsike.
3. Rogue from the seed fields
weeds that have seed difficult to
separate, especially bladder cam
pion. To aid growers in harvesting
every possible acre, the govern,
men!, through the local l'MA
organization, is paying a bonus
of seven cents per pound (ol
alsike seed, on small acreages1.
Details uf this are availiiblo at
the county PMA office.
