H i Calves suffering from virus pneu
monia have been cured und put
bacit on feed within 24 hours with
' a single injection of terramycin,
reports Dr. P. K. Hudspeth, practi
cing veterinarian of La Junta,
Colorado.
In the winter edition of "The
Southernwestern Veterinarian," Dr.
Hudspeth relates his experience in
. handling 29 steers and 16 heifers ill
;. with an acute form of the disease.
The 6 calves were part of 175
mixed' Hereford steers and hellers
: trucked 100 miles to a La Junta
' feed lot in Octboer 1951. Of the 45
treated only one died.
During the next few weeks 24
' more steer and 16 heifers became
111 and were given the same treat
ment. Second doses were needed
In only three cases. In all cases
recovery speedily followed.
The fast cures brought about by
the treatment with terramycin not
only preserved the animals' lives
but prevented loss of their value.
Four months later the steers which
had been sick averaged 686 pounds,
a gain of 269 pounds for the 163
day period in the feed lot, while
the steers which had not fallen
sick, averaged 689 pounds, a gain
of 272 pounds for the same period.

Top Bulls Bring
Top Sale Prices
RED BLUFF, Calif. Western
cattlemen still are willing to pay
top prices for high quality range
bulls, an analysis of prices brought
at the 13th Annual Red Bluff Bull
Sale showed today.
"In each of the four breeds sold
at Red Bluff, those grading high
est brought by far the highest
average prices," Donald M. Smith,
sale manager, said. "There were a
few exceptions in which commer
cial cattlemen paid higher prices
for bulls In lower grades, but the
averages are undlsputable."
Grades applied were those used
by the University of California as
well as many other western univer
sities in Record of Performance
herd testing.
For the 282 animals sold, those
grading one minus, the top grade,
went for fifty per cent more money
than the average of bulls in the
next lowest grade, or two plus.
Bulls grading less than two minus
were sifted from the sale.

Pototo fields in Tulelake this year certainly has merit.

Danish Technique
Used to Estimate
Weight of Cattle
Today's scientists are catching
up with some ideas practiced a
generation or so ago. And It
seems the old-timers weren't so
lar behind as we sometimes think.
Long ago Danish dairymen de
veloped a technique of finding how
much a cow weighed by measur
ing her girth with a tape meas
ure. The technique is reflected in
this country by the girthing chains
on a generation ago.
The old method has been re
vived and brought up-to-date by
many farmers, extension special
ists, and' others. The USDA re
cently carried on extensive re
search with 1,700 datry cows and
found that the measurements of a
cow's heart girth, taken around
the forechest directly back of the
front legs, is a fairly reliable In
dication ol the animal s weight. And
It holds true for all ages.
Tape measures based on these
findings have been distributed to
many farmers by feed dealers.
mis moaern version or grand
father's girthing chain is handy in
buying, selling, classifying, judg
ing, and feeding dairy cattle when
scales are unavailable.

Grain
Problem Faces
Basin Farmers
New warning of the need to pre
pare for storing Oregon's 1954 grain
crops comes from Ray Teal, Ore
gon State college extension seed
and grain marketing specialist.
Teal said Oregon bins and ele
vators hold at least 10 million more
bushels of grain now than a year
ago. The carry-over next summer
will be 12 to 15 million bushels morn
than last unless more ways are
found to move wheat in the next
five months, he added.
Teal noted that besides the in
crease in carry-over, Oregon's grain
crop Harvest next summer
may be almost as large as last
year. Making up for the decrease
in wheat because of planting re
strictions will be more barley and
oats.
He said the situation adds up to
too little space to store grains,
especially barley, unless more is
constructed on farms where bar
ley is .grown or fed to livestock and
poultry.
Oats moved off farms and out of
Oregon bins at about the same rate
as a year earlier, and barley move
ment increased about one-fourth.
Despite this activity, Oregon - still
held more than 44 million bush
els of grain, according to the USDA
report. ,
