SUNDAY. JUNE 28. 1959 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALIJ?. OREC.OM PAGE FTVK Rsh And Game Department In California Fighting Long Battle With Solons SACRAMENTO (UPI) The St.te Fish and Game Commis sion someday may get accustomed to being overruled on controversi al matters by the State Legisla ture, v It's not uncommon for the com mission to take an action which is controversial only to g e t the action set aside by the lawmakers. Perhaps the best know of these incidents is the either-sex deer hunt. . In 156. the commission decid ed it would be a good idea to hunt antler less deer in some areas of tlie state. Experts in the depart ment said this actually would help the deer themselves by killing off part of the herd and allowing the others to get enough food the next winter. ' But some sportsmen, the most vocal group around, objected to the kill, calling H a "slaughter" and saying it was against na ture to kill the mother of the species. They took their case to the Leg islature. The lawmakers passed a bill requiring that the Fish and Game Commission get approval of county supervisors before such hunts. That bill has been renewed for this session of the Legisla ture. Cumiiissioners, showing some signs of defiance, said in ef fect: "Okay, you guys, then we will no longer take the initiative. We'll say where we think either sex hunts could be held without arousing too much public objection and then we'll call hearings on the matter in local communities only if the supervisors ask us to." The most recent example is the special deer season for archers. In this case, the commission ruled that 'archers who have ben efited from a special season for 10 years could no longer get this privilege. They're going to com pete during the regular inland and coastal season with the gun hunt ers. Commissioner Henry G. Cline schmidt of Redding, a relative newcomer to the commission but an old time sports group leader, took the initiative in this matter. His action came as a surprise, although Clineschmidt said he had keen considering doing something about "this special privilege for archers" for some time. He asked other commissioners to go along with him in elimi nating the special season. They did after hearing a number of wit nesses for about 45 minutes. more or less. The archers look their case to the State Legislature and one of the chief opponents of almost any action by the Fish and Game Commission, P r t o I a Demo crat Pauline Davis.

Bradley (R San Jose) to amend a procedural bill of his to overrule the commission action. Bradley appeared before the Senate Fish and Game Commis sion headed by Republican Alan A. Erhart of Pismo Beach. He ex plained that he was amending the measure to let the bowmen have back their special preseason hunts for the next two years. But it was Mrs. Davis who went to bat for the bowmen. She said it would be "very hazardous" for archers to be in the field during the regular season. Her worry was that the archer might become a target himself. Stan Samidian, Turlock sports man who often appears at Fish County Agents Have High Praise For Feeding Program In Eastern Oregon Area Earlier this month a group of approximately 20 farmers and county agents from the Klamath and Tulelake basins spent a few days in Umatilla County on an educational trip. The group was headed by Ken Baghott, Tulelake farm adviser, and Walt Jendrzejewski and Ray O. Petersen, Klamath County agents. One purpose of the trip was to study the grain marketing practices used hi Eastern Oregon, and federated livestock production and feeding established there. Arrangements were made for the visit to the Pendleton growers by Ray Teal. Oregon State College marketing specialist. The federated farm was set up three years ago on a 480 - acre tract purchased by the participants in the program. The experiment was started to encourage the feed ing of livestock as a market for barley. Barley acreage had great ly increased with corresponding restrictions by the U.S. Depart ment of Agriculture on wheat pro duction. The manager of the farm buys feeder cattle so as to keep about 400 in the feed lots continuously throughout the year. The farm markets approximately 1,000 head each year. The Pendleton Grain Growers Association is cooperating in the barley-feeding program by provid ing wafers for feed which contains 75 per cent barley. The county arents remarkked that the concen trated feed looked like thinly sliced Presto-Logs and they learned that the ration was first formed in Presto-Log machinery. "It was interesting to note," Pe terson remarked, "that we feed a maximum of roughages, chiefly hay. and supplement it with small amounts of grain and exactly the reverse procedure is carried on in Umatilla County." Three pounds of gain a day per head is their boast. In addition to beef cattle, the farm is making a big thing of hogs. There are 180 sows, farrowed twice a year, under a multiple farrowing system on the farm. In addition, they have 90 sows and silts out on privately owned ranches. The ranches return two 80-pound feeder pigs for each lit ter farrowed which keeps up the breeding stock on farm and pro vides additional feeder hogs. The hogs are fed pelleted feed consisting M barley with protein supplement. The barley conten: and Game Commission meetings to plead causes but was not pres ent at the last session, also showed up. He called cutting the special bow season "an example of ridicu lous use of powers of the com mission." Dr. J. M. Kolisch. Riverside, head o the Pines to Palms Wildlife Federation, also showed up. He is another frequent regular visitor to commission meetings, and usual ly in opposition to almost any thing. This time he supported the com mission. He claimed archers had no right in the field, anyway, be cause Mlhting deer with bows is "only a form of amusement." The audience - seemed somewhat amused itself at the doctor's re marks. Without a dissenting vote, the committee approved the amend ment and the bill. Before it goes to Gov. Edmund G. Brown for his action it must pass a two-thirds vole of each house of the Legisla ture. That's because the bill now contains an urgency clause to al low bowmen their season this year. runs up to 83 per cent. The visitors were told that it takes about 700 pounds of barley to produce a 200 pound pig including the feed for the sow. "There is no doubt but what they are carrying on a very efficient feed program in Eastern Oregon," Petersen said, ".and some aspects of it can well be applied to our own operations in the Klamath Basin." The farm has turkeys, also. They brood arid finish out 20.000 turkeys a year under the current program. It takes about a bushel and a half to raise a turkey. "The feeding of all livestock and poultry in that area has greatly increased in the last few years Petersen said, "and much of it probably relates back to the fed erated farm's experiments and procedures. Eastern Oregon is be coming an important livestock feeding area." Stains Can Be Removed CHICAGO (UPD Here's how to remove spots and stains from fab ric-covered furniture: Grease: Spread a little chalk. Fuller's earth or corn meal oi the spot, then dampen with a good cleaning fluid. Allow to dry and brush off. Chewing gum and ice cream Sponge the spot with carbon tet rachloride. For gun, use the back of a kitchen knile to scrape off the remaining substance. Also use a damp cloth on an ice cream stain. Lipstick: Work a little vaseline or lard into the stain, then follow the directions for removing grease If a trace of color remains, wip; with a solution of one part alco hol and two parts water. Chocolate and creams: Sponge the spot with clean warm water and allow to dry. bcrape the spot with the back of a kitchen knife If necessary, use a small amount of cleaning fluid. Sugar candy: Sponge the spot with a cloth dampened in luke warm water, stroking toward the center ( the spot. If the stain re mains when the material is dry. rub it with cleaning fluid. Ink: Sponge with a S per cent vinegar solution or a 20 per cent oxalic acid sollution. Medicine: Dissolve with alcohol Mildew: Rub vigorously with a cloth soaked in warm soap suds, hen rinse by rubbing with a cloth et in cold water. Plastics Used In Ditches Plastic lining of irrigation ditch es! This relatively new way of using plastic helps ranchers re-! duce water seepage, control weeds, and hold erosion to a mini mum. Studies indicate that on many earthen ditches, plastic linings can bring about a substantial sating to ranchers, points out Tulelake Farm Adviser Ken Baghott of the University of California. Black polyethylene plastic film works better than clear film on such ditches, largely, because it does not deteriorate so rapidly in the sunlight. For mist conditions, a 4 mil thickness will serve for as long as three years. If quack grass is a serious problem, the 8-mil thickness is recommended. Before spreading the p I a s t i c, ranchers should remove sharp seed stalks and large clods along the ditches. In rocky soils, a lay er of soil may need to be placed under the plastic film. More information about plastic film ditch liners is available from the farm advisers' office, Tule lake. flwn appn ?
