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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Spring tlowers must be planted
in the fall if large amounts of;
desirable blooms are wanted as
the season breaks in the spring.
Daffodils, narcissus, tulips and
many other spring flowering bulbsi
must be planted in theall for
best bloom production. All of these
bulbs should be planted during
these fall weeks before bad wcath-:
er sets in and the ground freezes
daffodils, hyacinths and
related sp'yis; bulbs must send
their roots do-vn during the late
fall and winter to produce pro
fuse blossoms and multiply in the
ipring time. Planting instructions
on these various bulbs are avail
able in a gardening leaflet from
the County Extension Office.
Never before have such high
quality bulbs been offered in such
volumes in Klamath garden, store
and garden supply stores. Morr
and more rigid grading and in
spection services in bulb produc
ing areas are giving gardeners
choice of extremely high quality
plants for fall planting
