East ward, the egg markets were a little unsettled, but prices showed small changes. At Portland, large eggs dropped around five cents a dozen this past week. Medium eggs were down around four cents a dozen. At San Francisco, jobbing prices for dou ble A larg eggs dropped seven cents a dozen. Grade A large eggs and medium eggs dropped four cents a dozen. Small eggs held un changed at Portland. At Portland, jobbing prices for double A large eggs were being quoted at 57 to 58 cents. Grade A large eggs were bringing 55 to 57 cents.

Ranks High In Farm Land Acreage About tour-fifths of the nation's land (ilea is in agricultural pro duction. If all timber is added to this, nine-tenths of the U. S. is being utilized. About a quarter of the contmental U. S-, or 509 mi lion acres, is cropland and more than 51) per cent is permanent pas ture and grazing land. All of Europe, except for that part within the Soviet Union, con tains only about four-fifths as much tillable land as the United States. The USSR is reported to have about 500 million acres of tillable land 4-H NEWS LET'S COOK CLUB Tlie meeting of the Let's Cook Club was called to order by the president, Nancy - Atterberry, on Dec. 17, 1953.

Dwarfism In Beef Cattle Discussed An inherited "dwarfism" has been showing up more and more in beef cattle the past few years, not only in the purebred herds, but also in commercial herds, says J. T. Elings. extension animal hus bandry specialist at Oregon State College, Most dwarf cattle are very eas ily identified, Elings states. Many of them have short broad heads, a bulging forehead, stunted growth, heavy breathing, pot bellies, and protruding lower jaw sometimes as much as a half inch or more, In a new OSC extension bulletin, the specialist reports there are many more dwarf carriers than was first suspected. Dwarfism in beef cattle isn't confined to any one of the three major beef breeds, Elings writes. Also in the publication is infor mation about a method of identify ing dwarf-carrier cattle. Using an instrument called a "profilometer," developed by Dr. P. W. Gregory of the University of California, two profiles of an animal's head are taken. These two profiles are then analyzed to determine whether the animal is a dwarl-carrier or dwarf-free. Elings says the present outlook is that in mature bulls it is possible to determine whether bulls are carriers or dwarf-free 00 per cent of the time by taking head profiles. Until recently, identification of dwarfism by profilometer had been attempted only on bulls 30 months of age or over, the publica tion reports. However, recent work by Dr. Gregory and associates in dicate that it may soon be possi ble to identify dwarf-caVrier and dwarf-free bulls at much younger' ages possibly as yearlings or even at weaning time. The bulletin, "Dwarfism in Beef Cattle," also includes information on how dwarf cattle are produced and factors breeders should con sider in eliminating dwarfism from their herds. Breeders who wish to have their bulls profilometer-tested should contact their county exten sion agent, the publication states. "Woodsman, spare that tree." I'm, quite certain that the ppet wtio penned these words had never seen the Klamath Basin, but if he had I m positive that he woutd advocate "Improved Farm Wood land Management," states John W. Berg, local soil conservationist. Because trees have been abun dant we have ignored their eco nomic importance. Often we ve overlooked the farm forest as be ing a growing crop. Selective cut ting would produce a sustained yield for you and your grand children. Mining the woodlot today will give you a few hundred or a lew thousand dollars. This money will look good and come in mighty handy. Yet, by the time taxes are paid you 11 find little to show ex cept a field of brush or weeds where a permanent forest comd be growing and producing a steady mcome. Clearing flat forest laud to grow higher value crops is justifiable. But the clearing of sloping lands not suitable lor cultivation is ig nor tag good land use. Eventually the farmer nnd the community will suffer from such improper use of the land. How we will suffer is obvious. Lack of management re sults in less board feet of lumber than could be realized where trees are cut on a selective basis. Prop er spaced remaining trees result in an increased individual tree growth. Also, "Upstream Water shed Protection" is more than i matter ot building dams to hold the water whero it falls. In our country every land owner is given a large degree of author ity to do as he pleases with his pro perty. This privilege is to be guard ed zealousy. Still it seems that with, this privilege is attached an un written moral obligation to the gen erations yet unborn. The Soil Conservation District In your community is willing and able to help you with your forestry management program. A forestry specialist is available through your' distvict. Let us spare that tree and not sell our woodlot down the river. Wheat from Northwest ports is i heading for Pakistan. Hungry peo ple of Pakistan 15,000 miles away kare now receiving boatloads ol food in the form of soft white wheat grown in Oregon and Washington. Oregon has a tremendous sur plus of wheat in elevators through out the state. Unless this wheat is moved into commercial or export channels, storage next harvest will be acute. In hopes of alleviating the situa tion NW exporters, officers of the Oregon Wheat Growers League and members of the Oregon wneai Commission combined their re sources. The problem was pre sented to Secretary Ezra T. Ben son and Oregon's Congressional delegation. Action in Washington, Klamath-Owned Guernsey Bui) Recognized Sire PETERBOROUGH, N. H. The reeistered Guernsey bull, Cla-ore Mon. Luke, owned by Fred Rudat Jr.. Brownsmead. Ore., and Ray J, Hobson, Klamath Palls, Ore., has just became a nationally recog nized sire, according to an an nouncement from the production testing division of The American Guernsey Cattle Cluo. This sire has six tested daugh ters with seven actual official reo ords that average 9,063 rounds of milk and 481 pounds of juttcrfat, 481 nounds of butterfat. His top daughter, Cla-ore Luke's Bertlta, has a record of 10,481 pounds of milk and 555 pounds of butterfat, made as a Junior two. This sire also has had six daugh ters classified as type. Five were rated very good and one desirable. Complete official information is now available from The American Guernsey Cattle Club, so that thorough study of the transmitting ability of tnis sire can be made, Wheat Chairman Resignation Set For February 15 PENDLETON, (Special) Jens Terjeson, Oregon Wheat Commis sion chairman, resigned from that position ellcctive February 15, 1054. A desire to devote more time to his farming operation was given as the reason. Governor Paul Patterson in ac cepting the resignation stated, "I wish at this lime to acknowledge to you the debt of gratitude whlcn the slate owes for the many years of service that you have given to the stale and particularly to those people engaged in agriculture. Ore gon and the agricultural people are better today for your having served the state or Oregon." Terjeson, instrumental in form ing the Oregon Wheat Commission in 1947, has been chairman of the organization for the past six years. In resigning he states, "I have en loyed the fine relationship with the commission: also with the state college, the state department of ag riculture, the Oregon Wheat Grow ers League, and other organiza tions interested in the wheat indus try. Through this fine cooperation it has been possible for the wheat commission to build a sound, con structive program." t The Oregon Wheat commission is state agency originated to find new markets for wheat and wheat products. Commission vice chairman, Mar ion T. Weatherford, Arlington, will assume Terjeson's responsibilities until an election of officers is held later this year. D C. alone could move wheat Into export. The situation was beyond anyone or any group in the North west. The concerted effort of the deal ers and exporters in Portland and Seattle, officers of the OWGL and OWC produced results. Two car goes, about 600,000 bushels, of soft white wheat are leaving Northwest ports this month. Four cargoes of hard winter wheat have also been shipped in recent weeks from ter minals at Longview, Vancouver and Taoma, Every cargo leaving this area helps, but as yet not enough wheat is moving so as to lessen the severity of the storage problem. All told, some 60.000 tons of gov ernment owned NW wheat is being shipped from Oregon and Washing ton terminal ports. The Foreign Operations Administration is con ducting this program aimed at preventing a famine in Pakistan.
