Landers reports. The same ram bred to similar kind of ewes in November resulted In 85 to 97 per cent of the ewes lambing with in it three-week period. . j Landers makes the following sug gestions for preparing the ram for the breeding season in . order to improve his fertility at an early date. ; Shear the ram three to four weeks before the breeding season begins. He should be sheared close all over, unless files worry him considerably. Then it may be wiser to shear closo only on the entire Underside of the body. ' Keep the ram in the most com fortable quarters available provid ing a constant supply of cool, clean water.' , Feed good quality hay or good .bran to keep the ram in good phy sical condition. Usually pint to a quart of mixture o( equal parts by measure of oats, and bran Is sufficient. In addition, ' the ram should always have access to a mixture of equal parts of steamed bonemeal and salt. Turn the ram with the flock for an hour early in the morning, then remove , him to his quarters. If the weather is cool in the eve ning, he can also be put with the ewes for an hour, but overwork at this time should be avoided. Landers believes that good man agement is important, but that fer tility in rams in also inherited. He further believes that, selection of rams from ewes that: drop lambs consistently esrly in the season and whose sire was slss from an early lambing ewe will contribute materially to success in the pro duction of early lambs usually a very profitable system of sheep production.

' , Farm Youth Plans Trip , First Oregon farm youth to sign for an exchange visit abroad next year is Joe guingson Jr., 30, Mapleton. . The Lane County youth will visit costa Rica starting net April un der the International Farm Youth Exchange program. A junior at Oregon State college, he has been a 4-H club member nine years ana was boys' president . of the 1951 4-H club summer school. . Under the IFYE program, which is supported entirely by voluntary contributions,' Oregon' must raise $608 to pay the expenses of each delegate's travel. When he returns. another $300 is raised to pay part Of his expenses reporting through out the state. Three Oregon youths are now In Europe under the exchange pro gram lor promoting worm peace. Hiev are Ardls Eagy ot Albany. Switzerland; Howard Saucy of Dundee, 'France; and Ken Hill of Cove, Norway. They will live and work with farm families until No vember. In exchange, Oregon is playing host to six from other countries. , PEST REPORTER from tht Distributor for lit us CPPAY fFNTFR Wl IIP I Vaalllt.il Agricultural Chemicals SPRAY SCUTTLE ON WEEDS AND BUGS " v SPUDS We art still plone spraying and dusting Spuds ... very few bugs showing up, but some fields are having build- ups.

Kerr, senior engineer, of the famous contracting firm, Becb- tel Corporation, had an interesting. artlcl- in the electric power Indus tries trade journal, "Electric Light and Power," May 1953 issue. The title of the article is one such ss you might expect to be found in a sports magazine, "Steam Plant Nd Longer Death Trap for Oame Fish." However,- I am quite sure that few fishermen would understand-the article as this eminent engineer has written it as tt deals with a strictly technical phase of the operation of a great- steam plant used, for the generation of electricity. ? The article dealt with Pacific Oas and Electric Company's 575,-000-kilowatt Contra Costa steam plant which is located on the south bank ot the San Joaquin river a couple of miles upstream from the city of Anttoeh, Calif. The Interest oi tile Becntel Corp.. In the prob lem was due to the fact that this organisation constructed the steam plant and found themselves faced with a very serious, conservation problem. How the engineers faced the problem and the solution they develoed becomes the subject of the article. The stesm plant located In the so-called "Delta" region of Califor nia because It Is here' the Sacra mento and San Joaquin rivers flow into Sulsun. Bay, an arm of San Francisco Bay. The two great riv ers are interlaced by many cross channels forming the delta area of siougns, low islands and tule mar shes. Tidal conditions prevail In the area with an extreme range-as much as eight feet at the site of the steam plant :;r- "This are abounds, with (ish life," states Mr. Kerr, "both an adromous and resident fish of many species are to be found here. Included in the former -class are tne king salmon, striped bsss, shad. steelhead trout,- Pacific . lamprey eei, two species of -smelt, white and green sturgeon and others. Except tor catfish, fish in the rest dent group in this area have little commercial or sports value.".' ' - The ateam plant requires a river of water to flow across its con denser tube system which is an Integral part of stesm turbine op-, eration. Kerr states that when the plant comes in full operation it will require a flow of 868 cubic feet .of water per second, which, in comparative volume in the equvalent to two thirds the aver age flow of water going down the ruamatn River as tne river leaves the . Klamath .Basin. Apparently the engineers pinned their hope upon a system of traveling screens to keep the heavy delta fish popu lation from following this river of water Into the plant and across the hot condenser tube system. How ever, wnen the first unit of the pl-nt composed of three turbine was placed in operation With an operating capacity of 115,000 kilo watts each, In June 1951, it was discovered that the screen system was not as successful as they had anticipated and the loss of fish life was excessive. The remarkable point of this story and which Kerr does not mention Is that the P O. & E. Co. had complied with the law in the esisousnment of fish screens and it could vfry easily have ignored the loss of fish life. Ferh&c-s at one time, this corporation would have done so but it discovered a long time ago that it was eood company policy to pay close atten- toln to conservation problems. When the screen system showed Its defect a research program was started to see if something could not be done to correct the deficiency. 'To man this fish project, men ot varied technical experience and training were chosen," states Kerr "these Included engineers from the California- State Department of PQfeE Co., biologists from the Fish and Oame, engineers and craftsmen from the Bechtel Corp. Research and development work was carried on over a period of 17 months, the financial, burden of the' project being borne by the PQ&E Co. Expenditures . totaled $100,000 for. the experiments and $10,003 for the actual installation. "Investigations and experiments covered many phases of the prob lem, including the study of fish be havior, velocity studies' to deter mine fish swimming ability, -screen mesh size, water temperature tol erance, traveling Screen operation, fish stratification and dispersion, electric fish 'screens, velocity bar rier to fish, and finally, the de velopment of a device for safely collecting fish and returning them u "c nvcr unnarmea. " Kerr does not claim that the suits accomplished at Contra Costa is the last word in -fish safety r even can be duplicated at other Places, but believes that the rlt gained here Is of value apd an Im portant step has been takein in the preservation, of fish life at large uiveraions. i He Deiieves that industry h. demonstrated that natural fishery icwurvca can do reasonably main tained while still, using public wa ters for Industrial purposes. He hopes that the agencies responsible for the maintenance of these fish resources, will continue research work along similar lines.' .
