Agent Urges 4-H Clubs To Organize LAKEV1EW Early October is the time to get your 4-H Club going. The earlier a club starts, the better the results, says Fay Hackleman, county extension agent. Four-H Club leaders and par ents interested in getting their clubs started are urged to contact the county extension office as soon as possible. Projects that may be started include cooking, sewing, home im provement, health, electricity, gar dening, livestock, child care, wood working, knitting, photography, archery, and junior leadership. Boys and girls may enroll in as many as three projects. It is sug gested that first year 4-H club members take one or two projects. Each project has a set of require ments which fulfill a teaching and learning process. To fulfill these requirements, the clubs hold ten or more meetings. Thus the ear lier the organization, the better quality and the more information and help the 4-H members re ceive. All clubs should be going strong by Nov. 1. To organize a new club all it takes is five or more members interested in the same project, and leader. When this nucleus is formed the county extension office PIL Exhibition Opens Saturday fic International Livestock Exposi tion will open Saturday and offi cials said it appeared that it would be back to its old standards for the first time since World War II The P-I has had some lean years but Thomas Kerr, president. said the entry list was more than twice as big as last years and new stalls and pens have been added. A number of traveling herds will be on hand among the 868 dairy cattle, 521 beef cattle and 912 head of sheep. A parade including 35 Here ford steers will be held on Port land's Broadway at 11:45 am Friday as a preliminary. The entertainment part of the show will feature television s Hy att Earp the first three days and TV's Cheyenne the last six. Singer Jaye P. Morgan also will appear lire final six days. Beef Cattle Diseases increasing In County Two beef cattle diseases, Lepto spirosis and Red Water, are on the increase in Klamath County, reports Ray Petersen, county agent. j Leptospirosis which causes abor Hon in cows and other associat ed troubles in calves and cattlei continues to move into new areas. Outbreaks in new areas have been reported in cows that are calving this fall. Most communities in the county have experienced some out breaks of this disease, so it ap pears that all herds in the county are in danger of infection. It can be spread by cattle moved from affected herds, by feed, or through1 drainage water running from one ranch to another. There is a vaccine that will pro tect cattle from the disease for around six months, and according to our local veterinarians, it re quires about three months for the: vaccine to build up sufficient anti. bodies to protect animals from; the disease. The veterinarians rec ommend that the cattle be vac cinated at least once a year and preferably at least three months before calving is to start. U is the suggestion of the county agent that cattlemen who are not familiar with this disease contact their vet erinarian to discuss the possibili ty of vaccinating their herds. The other disease that has been present in the county in some lo calities for a number of years is also showing up in new sections this year. The Red Water disease which affects the urinary tract of cattle can also be controlled by vaccinating cattle once a year. Both the Leptospirosis and Red Water vaccines can be adminis tered at tlie same time. should be contacted. The county agent will meet with the group and parents and explain the pro gram, organize the club, and train the leaders. All 4-H leaders will receive project training help from the extension office as well any other help they need through out the 4-H Club year. Island Acre Bull Gains Top Honors Exhibiting the senior grand champion bull at the recent Cen tral Washington State Fair at Yakima was Island Acres Farm. Klamath Falls.

There were 24 bulls and 30 females shown. j been a persistent shift of workers out of farming into other jobs. The employment pinch is felt when these "other jobs" face tlie same situation of needing fewer workers to get the job done. in railroad transportation, for in stance, the need for workers de clined nearly 40 per cent from 1947 to 1953. In manufacturing. tlie employment peak was reached in 1943 and has never been attained since. Coal miners are another group facing wide spread unemployment. In industry, the number of while collar employes has risen, while Ihe number of blue collar work ers has dropped, especially in un skilled jobs. Looking to the future, Mrs. Hor-, roll says it looks like the trend will continue. The U.S. Department of Labor! predicts that for the next 10 years: the most rapidly growing occupa tional groups will be professional and technical workers. They also foresee a substantial increase in clerical workers, skilled workers, and managerial or administrative personnel. On the other hand, no gain at all is looked for in unskilled la bor; and the odds favo ra further sharp decline in farm workers. Spud Surplus Plan Related ,P A Good HERE f C 1 1 Eat A Good HERE ff.

Simple Control Listed For Sheep Parasites Two potato diversion programs are now operating in Oregon In the move to clear a national sur plus of 214 billion pounds. One is; for the Klamath Basin and Cen tral Oregon area; the other, in Malheur County. The diversion potatoes the low er quality part of the crop wiD go for livestock teed or manutac ture into starch or flour. Out right dumping of potatoes will not qualify growers for diversion pay ments. reports the Oregon Depart ment of Agriculture. Top payment will be fl cents per 100 pounds through Dec 31, to encourage heavy diversion at the early end of the season. Pay ments will drop to 40 cents from next Jan. i to Feb. 28, and to 30 cents on March 1. , M. O. Murphy, supervisor of the federal-state shipping point inspec tion service, is heading the pro gram. By J. D. VERTREES Parasites on sheep are unwant ed boarders that have to be fed all winter. Tlie cost of feeds is high enough in maintaining live stock during the winter months without the additional cost of parasites taking the benefits from these feeds away from the sheep. Sheep ticks or keds are the most troublesome pest for the fall and winter months on sheep. These external parasites are wingless flies which spsnd theirj life history on the sheep sucking the blood and the vitality from the animals. During the winter months, they gradually build up to high numbers and by spring- lima are at their peak and cause serious troubles at lambing periods. Control of these pests is sim ple, economical and effective. Newer types of insecticides winch have been in use for the last few years have proven the sheep ticls problem is unnecessary if the am- jmals are given proper treatment. Dieidnn as a dust can be ap plied to the sheep in this fail! period and wipe out tlie problem for at least one season. Some! sheep owners have reported two years results from one application. Dieldrin dust purchased at 1'A per cent concentrations as a com mercial mix should be applied to the sheep during the fail months. This gets away from the old meth od of dipping or spraying or wet ting down the sheep during the; cold periods of the fail. Dieldrin dust can be applied with a power duster as the sheep run through a chute and are thoroughly covered with the dust as they go by the blower noizles. Small bands of sheep can be treated with hand dusters very effectively as long as the dust is applied over most of the body, top bottom and both sides. A half dojen sheep in a small pen can also be treated by- shaking the dust n. The dust placed in a porous sack or gunny sack can be shaken on individual sheep or very few sheep in a pen. Hand dusters or power dusters are recommended, however, where numbers of sheep are involved. One or two ounces per head of the dust for adult sheep is the usual requirements in amount. This amounts to actually a penny recommended, however, where or two per animal giving the most eflecuve and economical external parasite control yet obtainable on sheep.
