However, advises Jim Mohr of the Oregon Game Department, the doe to which he belongs is in the brush nearby and will do an excellent job of taking care of the fawn.

Expenses High For Farmers At Fort Doge, Iowa, the other day, a touring reporter was talk ing to Walter Neubaum. Noubatim operates a 2( acre farm near Barnum, Iowa. He grows 80 acres of corn, he feeds cattle, boss, and chiekeus. And he can't find anything about this year's livestock prices to make him unhappy. Hut like a hit of other farmers, like many of the farmers UP I Farm Lditor Bernard Brenner talked to on a four-state tour, Neu haum also had something else on his mind, the cost of fanning to day. - ! The Iowa farmer put it this way: "Our prices aren't bad, our, main problem now is expenses, i You ro out and buy a new trac-1 tor, and it really hurts." J Near Itoehesler. Minnesota, a dairyman pinched by the recent cut in dairy price supports turned to the same theme. i His name, Robert Badger. He said: "We're Ruing to bargain hard, we'll remind everyone we buy from that this article is too hRh." . In spite of this cost problem, the VV reporter found fanners in the Kansas wheat belt and the hog ftud cattle feeding sections ot Iowa were not talking about the reces sion that's been troubling the in dustrial economy. Livestock prices have been cood this year, up to the point where performer who has entertained the chute and corral Milk Farmers At Rochester, Minnesota, t h c Rochester Dairy Cooperative re ceives about one-and-one-half mil lion pounds of milk a day from its 3.000 members. This is a big cooperative, run ning one of the nation's largest single-unit dairy plants, in the heart of one of the country's big gest manufacturing milk areas. I'Pl Farm Kditor Bernard Bren ner visited the Rochester plant to find out how dairymen were mak ing out after VSDA's cutback in price supports. The tiavcling reporter found that almost all farmers in the area were unhappy admit the cut. And .m official of the coop estimated the reduction may take one-and-one-half million dollars out of the members' milk checks this year. What ore these dairy farmers going to do now? Well, one coop official sizes it up this way. He says: "The es tablished farmers who have their farms paid for . . . they'll jusl tighten their belt a little bit and throw on a few more cows. The yoimacr operator with heavy debts is in more trouble." The coop experts believe dairy farms will continue to get lamer .md fewer, and the switch to bulk lank systems will continue. some Iowa farmers report their profit margins are the best in years. And the wheat crop is boom ing along toward a new record in many parts of the wheat belt. r- Oppose Cut This trend toward bigger and fewer dairy herds has been making ilself felt sharply in the Rochester area in recent years, spurred on by the move toward bulk tank pickup systems. In just two years, tlic amount of milk handled by the Rochester cooperative has increased 20 per cent, while the number of farmers delivering milk to the coop has gone clown sngnuy.

Steve McNichols is moving fast to back the expensive pests down. Western Kansas also is heavily infested. The governor asked the Legis lature to grant one and one half million dollars from the state surplus fund to fight the big grasshopper invasion. The special session was called after President Eisenhower failed lo declare the 17 stricken counties in Colorado disaster areas. McNichols has not given up his battle for emergency federal funds. He is seeking how an appropri- A Dog's Life Is Improved A dog's life will be better, and so will that of cats, cows, calves and other large and small animals as a result of the development of a new group of drugs the nitro furans veterinarians from seven states were told at a scientific meeting, "New Horizons in Client; otherapy: first Kegional Lonier ence on the Nitrofurans in Vet erinary Medicine," recently. The importance of these drugs, not only to animal health as such but to the economic well-being of livestock and poultry raisers, was highlighted by reports that showed that one of the nitrofurans, Fur acin, clears up the wound infec tions in better than 80 per cent of dogs and is equally valuable in treating bovine mastitis, a dis ease that can seriously hamper mine production. Veterinary researchers from this country and Canada pointed out at the conference that other nitro furans are being used successfully to treat calf enteritis or diarrhea. kennel cough and urinary tract in fectious of dogs and cats, canine diarrhea and a variety of poultry diseases. The meeting was held under the joint auspices of the New Castle County Veterinary Med ical Association and Eaton Lab oratories, Norwich, New York, de velopers of the nitrofurans. One of the problems causing great concern to physicians today, the treatment of antibiotic-resistant staphylococcic infections in hum ans, is refleced in veterinary med icine, too, according to Dr. Roland Filion ot the- Veterinary Research Laboratory of the Province of Quebec, St. Hyacinthe, Quebec. Bo vine mastitis, which was once caused primarily by antibiotic-sus ceptible streptococci organisns, is now caused 45 to 70 per cent of me time by staphylococci.

Under that program, the govern ment contributes 80 per cent to soil conservation projects and the state contributes 24 per cent. The 43-year-old Democratic gov ernor says that he will not allow the grasshoppers to destroy the state's 100 million dollar wheat crop, and turn six million acres ot grazing land back to dust. Planes and trucks -are already at work spraying infested fence rows and borrow ditches along highways in several counties. The planes were engaged under a fed eral cooperative program lor spraying rangelands. The government, the state, and the rancher each pay one-third of the spraying cost of 60 cents an acre under the program. . The farmers, and the bumper crop of wheat, are ignored by the program. If farmers want their land sprayed, they must pay the entire bill themselves. The state has only $200,000 to participate in the spraying. Mc Nichols estimates the job of pro tecting the entire afflicted area will cost 10 million dollars. The governor is urging ranchers to register for the cooperative fed eral program immediately. Only about 500,000 acres out of six mil lion acres that are infested have been signed up. McNichols is telling tanners to begin spraying at their own ex pense. He tells them to count on the state to help later. The governor believes tne best of the wheat crop can be saved if the farmers act quickly. But the worst may be yet to come. The Colorado Department of Ag riculture says t h e grasshoppers will reach their peak of destruc tion in about four weeks.
