A hotter-than-normal July was
lorecan in icinrai and Western
states with dry conditions continu
intt Irom the Southwest into the
Central plains.
Four years of searing heat and
tub-normal rain have so damaged
the great southwestern livestock
ranges the President declared
them a disaster area.
Livestock men's comments on
administration plans to help them
ranged from "a step in the right
direction" to "a drop in the buck
et.". The government announced a 200
million pound beef buying program
yesterday. It Is designed to sup
port sliding cattle prices.
Other relief measures:
1. President Eisenhower desig
nated 152 counties in Texas and
40 in Oklahoma where stockmen
are eligible to share in an eight
million dollar drought relief fund.
Campgrounds
To Be Open

announces that seven of the 1100
o4H public campgrounds in the Na
tional Forests of California have

The rates to be charged at these
campgrounds vary from 25 cents

on a free basis.
The Forest Service welcomes
camping visitors and request that
you remember the camps and for
ests are yours. On leaving, ask
yourself U you have left them as
you would Uke to find them.
Grain Study
Shows Lack
"Results of a four-vear sturtv
comparing 220 field tests on grain
lerimzation snow 60 per cent of our
grainlands barley, wheat, and
oats to be deficient in both nut
rients." So Indicated W. t. Mar
tin, extension soils specialist of the
University of California, before the
annual meeting of the American
Plant Food Council recently.
Farm Advisor Ken Baghott states
that much of the grain land In
Tulelake gives profitable response
to nitrogen, according to test plot
results.
He also indicates that a large
acreage of the county's rangelapd
could be improved by the use of
new species of clover plus proper
applications of phosphorous.
He points out that as brush areas
re cleared by fire or mechanical
means, fertilizers will play an in
creasing part in maintaining good
growth of newly seeded species
of grasses and legumes on these
lands. As more irrigation water
becomes available, and irrigated
pasture moves into the foothill
lands, such pasture will require
both nitrogen and phosphorous, v

Man Caused
Fires Gain
Last year man was responsible
for 7,021 forest fires out of a total
of 11.985 suppressed by Forest
service crews in the U.S. Smok
ers caused 2.391 by carelessly
flipping cigarette butts and
matches and through knocking out
pipe ashes; 1,680 fires were set
deliberately; 844 started wben
camp fires were left burning; 133
resulted from trash fires getting
out of control; 245 caused by
sparks from trains; and 214 were
caused by sawmill or logging operations.
A total of 211,000 acres with an
estimated loss of three-million dol
lars were caused by man-made
fires last year. ,
So. "Be careful with fires In the
forest" plead the USDA's Forest
Service. Everyone Is urged to
break matches In two before dis
carding; to crush out cigarettes; to
make sure camp fires are dead;
and burn trash only in the early
morning, in the evening, or when
the ground Is damp.

Booklets Aid
To Dairy Farms
BERKELEY Two new Univer
sity of California leaflets of Im
portance to dairy farmers are now
available without charge at the
Tulelake rarm Advisor's Office, so
states Ken Baghott. University of
California Farm Advisor.
Written by the widely known Ag
ricultural Extension dairy expert
O. E. Gordon, the leaflets are
"Concentrate mixtures for dairy
Cows" and "Agricultural By-Pro-ducts
as Dairy Cattle Feeds." .
"Concentrate Mixtures for Dairy
Cows" discusses the importance
of concentrate feeding; how to
compound rations; amount to feed;
and labor requirements.
"Agricultural By - Products as
Dairy Cattle Feeds" contains an
easy-to-use chart on the digestible
composition of common California
fruit, vegetable, and other by-products
showing their values as com
pared with barley as varying
prices per ton.
tor of the Oregon State college
extension service. - .
Bsra T. Benson secretary of
agriculture, has Indicated that be
cause of the nation's large supply
Oi wheat now Id sight be will very
likely issue a statement calling for
wheat marketing quotas on nest
year' wheat crop.
If the proclamation comes, the
existing law requires that a ref
erendum be conducted by July 34,
Smith reports. Wheat farmers
would have two alternatives. They
could accept production controls
and a guaranteed price of M
per cent of parity, or they could
vote for no controls and be
guaranteed SO per cent of parity
on their 1954 crop. ,
The situation is the result of
several developments, according to
PMA Administrator Howard H.
Gordon. First, production has, in
general, caught up with the post-
Korea demand. Current needs
have been met: reserves have
been rebuilt. .. . .
Smith explained that the law re
quires that growers must appruva
quotas by at least a two-thirds ma-'
Jorlty before they, can be put into
effect. If they fail to approve
quotas, the price support level tor
lOM's crop will drop to M per
cent of parity under the present
law.
Aa the law now stands, all grow
ers with IS or more acres of
wheat would be eligible to vote.
12,000 Oregon farmers. A proposed
amendment would ' boost the re
quirement to 25 acres and reduce
the number of farmers eligible to
vote. '
