Livestock Leader Sees Big
Market Gains For Oregon As
7ell As Bigger Change Soon
OREGON STATE COLLEGE -
The West Coast has imported live
stock and livestock products from
the Midwest at an increasinf rate
ia recent years, but wester pro
ducers can recapture some of this
market, believes Or. J. C. Miller.

Increased production of feed
(rain and hay is giving West Coast
producers a chance to regain some
if this market if they make full
tK of technological advances in
production and feeding. Miller
said. And since this is Oregon's
Centennial year, he suggested it
might be a good time to look at
what's ahead for livestock general
ly throughout the state.
Among the more notable changes
of recent years are the growth of
livestock feeding outside the Corn
belt, particularly in the West; an
increase in sise of production units:
rapid expansion of beef cattle and
poultry and the decline in sheep
and dairy numbers; and the
complete replacement of horses
and mules as sources of farm
power.
The entire livestock and feed in
dustry has seen a tremendous in
crease in use of labor-saving

BALERS
All-Areend Tonnage Champs
with "Pivot-Balanced" Drive
Match a new Oliver twine-tie or wire-tie with
any other machine in your small, rough, patch
pattern fields. There's where it gobble up the wind
rows, bale up to ten tons per hour as easily as on
the straightaway.
You get Oliver's exclusive "pivot-balanced" drive
..tand exceptionally short coupling. Just follow the
windrow with the rear tractor wheel even around
the sharpest corner. Your Oliver gels the hay...
save hours of time when time counts most.
Here are balers with everything: new, leaf-saving
pickup... swinging drawbar for safe transport...
overrunning clutch (extra)... protective device fur
all important unit. You can adjust
bale length in seconds from 12 to SO
inches. Twine- and wire-tying units are
eaay to interchange, and an engine
(extra) is easy to mount when desired.

equipment. Production per mas
has doubled since 1940, total feed
crop production has increased 4t
per cent, more than 90 per cent
of total livestock transport is by
truck, and value of livestock and
livestock products marketed has
climbed to 60 per cent of the total
agricultural income.
Cattle numbers, although in
creasing, haven't kept pace with
population increases on the West
Coast. And sheep and bog num-
oers nave decreased almost M
per cent since 1940. These figures
explain the increase of in-shipmenuj
of livestock and their products
irom the Midwest, Miller said.
Although the future and all
changes it will bring cannot se
accurately foretold, he says we
can be sure that livestock pro
ducers who meet the compriitio
in years ahead will be those k
keep cost of production low eneuih
to show a profit on their operation.
This inevitably means larger
and fewer units, more automa
tion, standardised products de
signed to meet consumer prefer
ence, and more integration in ani
mal agriculture. Miller pointed out.
Much greater use of existing ad
vancements discovered by both
basic and applied research will be
needed in the immediate future if
Oregon livestock men are to meet
this challenge, he added.
For example, artificial breeding
will approach 100 per cent in dairy
cattle and become commonplace
in all classes of livestock. Greater
use mill be made of hybrids and
crossbreeding in all commercial
livestock production, and red meat
or lean-fat ratio will replace "fat
tening ability in selection of meat
animals. ... ,
Today's top feed conversion fig
ures will be tomorrow's averages.
Commercial hog production will
follow the pattern of automation,
integration, and confinement set
by the poultry industry. And new
and revolutionary developments in
harvesting and processing forages
will be used.
Methods of handling livestock to
prevent and eliminate loss Irom
stress will be refined, and orderly
marketing will reduce weekly and
seasonal fluctuations' in receipts
and prices. Large commercial, dry
lot dairy herds will increase in
number. .
These changes and others will
come from principles and tech
niques already known. But discov
eries yet undreamed of will bring
out more changes. Miller said.
New feeds unknown today will be
come important sources of pro
tein and energy tomorrow. Sea
water will provide a source of
minerals, and algae and molds
will play a far greater role in live
stock nutrition and health.
Future oratress in animal sci
ence is largely dependent on basic
research in the pure sciences. Mil
ler stressed. He said the rale at
which changes come and the sta
bility of the livestock industry will
depend in large measure re
search elljorts. " ' :
Canada Has

visit Canada this summer?
If you travel by car, remember
that Canada uses the "imperial
gaHon," which is 20 per cent big
ger than the U.S. gallon. Remem
ber, also, that the U.S. dollar
m valued nl tliehtlv less than the
Canadian dollar, based on the Wall
Street rate of exchange, which is
determined by the law of supply
and demand. ...
American travelers will find n
convenient to obtain Canadian
fnnrh from their bank before en
tering Canada, thereby saving the
bother of making calculations when
spending money.
In Canada, only the major cities
provide night clubs. Montreal has
more nightspots in proportion to
its population l.;00.Bot than any
other city in North America.
Don't think everyone in Canada
speaks English. Residents in most
of Quebec province, parts of New
Brunswick and Ontario, sp"
French. Elsewhere, English
spoken.
