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

This sire has six tested daugh

481 nounds of butterfat.
His top daughter, Cla-ore Luke's

pounds of milk and 555 pounds of
butterfat, made as a Junior two.
This sire also has had six daugh

rated very good and one desirable.

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.

Money Allotted
To Combat Smut
Smut, a $50 million hcaduche to '
Northwest wheat growers, will
soon bo under a new attack,
thanks to tho efforts of the farmers
and farm groups of the area
Answering the prodding of such
organizations as the Oregon Wheat
Commission and the Pacific North
west Crop Improvement Assn., an
economy-minded Congress has ap
propriated $78,000 to be used in the
study of new methods of combat
ing smut.
Agricultural scientists in Oregon,
Idaho and Washington will mako
a two-pronged attack on the dis
ease. One group, which will utilize
some $35,000 of the allotment, will
operato a smut research labora
tory at the State College of Wash
ington at Pullman. The remaining
$43,000 will finance wheat breeding
work by USDA plant scientists In
the Northwest.
Research men who have worked
with the smut problem havo long
realized that new and stronger
measures would be necessary.
Smut was thought to be on the way
out ten years ago. But since then,
and In spite of tremendous work
by agricultural chemists and plant
breeders, tne scourge nas nouncca
back as badly as before, and up
to now neither the time nor person
nel have been a,vallablo to give tho
threat the attention deserves.
