Bangs Disease Still Declines Oregon Is in n enviable posi tion nationally because of the low percentage of Bangs or Brucello sis reactors found in dairy herds throughout the state, reports H. P. Ewalt, extension dairy special ist at Oregon State college. For the past several years. Bangs disease has been on the decline In Oregon, the specialist ex plains. In 1049, 1.68 per cent of the cows tested in the state were re actors. Among the cows tested in 1953; only .778 per cent reactors showed up. The 1948 Oregon figure was low in comparison with the na tional figures, the specialist adds. This improving picture, says Ewalt, Is due to a "consistent, well coordinated program conducted by the stato department of agricul ture, federal bureau of animal In dustry, and the Oregon State col lege extension service with excel lent cooperation from the state's dairymen." The program Is divided Into three phases test and slaugh , ter, sanitation and vaccination. ' Despite a decrease In the num ber of dairy cows in the state, more have been tested for Brucellosis each year. There were 289,743 cows from 39,130 herds tested in 1963, while 246,437 cows were tested in 1948. Data On Lamb Experiments Released By Farm Adviser TULELAKE If replacement ewe lambs can be kept alive and healthy on native range, that may be the best way for Uie California ranch er to grow them. . , , Three years of trials on the Uni versity of . California's Hopland Field Station range in Mendocino County and in irrigated pastures on the Davis campus cast doubt on the economics of growing out ewe replacements in Uie softer life of the lowlands, according to Ken Baghott, Tulelake Farm Advisor. "Lambs raised in irrigated pas ture cost approximately a third more than those grown out on native range," according to Bag hott. And at the present time, he says, weights of ewes born in lssi show little, If any, difference, whether they were grown. out on the range or in Irrigated pastures. Lamb production was not affected by uie duierences in diets, he said, and after the first shearing there has been no difference in wool production. On the range, however, a period of supplementary feeding can be a good Investment Baghott showed. PILE To Be Held Indoors in '54 It will hot be tents for the Pa cific International Livestock Ex position at North Portland this year. The Tumpane Company which leased the Pacific Interna tional buildings in 1952 as a stor age facility for the United States Air Force has Just announced that the facility will become surplus to the company's needs within the next few months. The announce ment stated Uiat the Air Force was reducing its vehicular-storage program on a nation wide basis in line with the administration's economy plan."

S-a 1917 One group of 1953 lambs was run without supplemental feeding. Ano ther group. was fed a mixture of cottonseed meal, barley and salt from June 29, 1953 until Jan. 6, 1954. The supplemented ewes then weighed an average of 82 pounds, while the unsupplemented group averaged 65 pounds. But 13 lambs out of 86 in the unsupplemented group died, Baghott said. In the group fed supplements only 4 out of 82 lambs died. "When taking into consideration the death loss due to poor nutri tion of the unsupplemented group," be noted, "those which were sup plemented actually cost less than those that were not supplemented. "From the University studies we must conclude that the factor most Important In raising replacements Is to hold them at a plane of nu trition which is sufficient to keep them ailve and healthy." Continuation of the Hopland and Davis trials, the Farm Advisor 6ald, should show what effect the first years Diane of nutrition final ly will have on wool and lamb production and on longevity of the ewes.'
