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 chief opponents of almost
any action by the Fish and Game
Commission, P r t o I a Demo

Clark L. 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.

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:

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."

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
