Barbara Jobe Photo Modoc Bull Average Of ALTURAS Seventy-six bulls were sold recently at the Mo doc Bull Sale in Cedarville for $46,570, with an average of $605 per bull. This much talked of rate of gain sale was considered a big success as more than 450 cattlemen and buyers swarmed to the fairgrounds to take part in the barbecue put on by the Bull Sale Committee and the Cedarville Rotary Club. The grand champion bull, con signed by Kramer and Sons of Bieber, was sold by Howard Brawn, auctioneer, for $1,125 to Thad Bath of Adin. This junior yearling 'bull made a daily gain of 2.1 pounds per day. The reserve grand champion bull consigned by the Lucky Hereford Ranch of Gilroy, with a daily gain of 2.4 pounds per day, was sold to Bob Byrne of Malin for $1,200. This type junior bull was the top priced seller of the sale. Louis Cockrell of Cedarville bought eight bulls, while Thad Bath of Adin bought seven bulls averaging $845 and the Rice Live stock Co. of Alturas bought sev en bulls at an average of $900 each. The Rice Livestock Co. bought all the bulls consigned by Orvis and Son for the sec ond year in a row. Before the sale the bulls were graded on soundness and con formation. Members of the sift ing Committee were Dr. Jack Howarth of Davis, Phyl Petersen of Ft. Bidwell and Pete McGrava Modoc 4-H Cops Awards ALTURAS Modoc County 4-H- ers came home with ribbons and high honors from the Pacific In ternational Exposition held in Portland recently. Beth Baird of the Alturas Warner Mountain 4-H Club won second ribbon with her heavyweight Angus steer in com petition with 120 others in her class. She sold her steer for 29'i cents a pound to the 1GA Stores of Oregon. Brother Bill Baird of the War ner Mountain 4-H Club kept up the family honor with his heavy. weight shorthorn steer placing fifth in its class. He sold his steer for 28 cents per pound. Fred Lindsey of Tulelake placed sixth and seventh in the Hereford lightweight class with his steers. Three steers of Modoc County placed second in their class and Peggy Calahan, Bill Baird, Beth Baird and Fred Lindsey placed third in the Herdsmonship Award. This award was won in competi tion with county groups from Washington, Oregon and Califor nia. The Modoc Judging Team re ceived a second ribbon in compe tition with 45 teams from Oregon. Washington, California, Idaho and Nevada. High ;oint judge on the Modoc team waj Peggy Callahan of the Pit Rive 4-H Club. Dr. Al Baird of Alturas who took the Modoc 4-H group to the show also showed his two steers and placed third with his Here ford steer and fourth with his shorthorn steer in the open com petition. The Modocers were given a big help by Joe Smith of the Island Acies Ranch of Klamath Falls who hauled all the Modoc cattle to the show. Island Acres showed the Grand Champion Angus bull at the PIE show. REMEMBER! when it comes to a truck, see Bob or Juek Trucks are their business!

Grading Committee members were Herman Weber, Alturas rancher, Sam Therber, McArthur farm adviser, and Re- ben Albaugh from the University of California at Davis. Of the 83 bulls consigned for the sale two were sifted from the sale for poor conformation and four sifted as unsound. Sale records show that the five bulls grading 2 plus sold for $1,000 each, while 56 grading 2 sold for $626 each, and 16 grading 2 minus sold for $512 each. Norman Nichols, Modoc Coun ty farm adviser, noted that the sale topped the Elko Bull Sale held last month which averaged Small Wheat Get Quotas, Some small wheat producers who have grown less than 15 acres of wheat in the past three years may be subject to market ing quotas and penalties under provisions of the wheat stabiliza tion program for 1962, according to Earl Wilson, chairman, Klam ath County Agricultural Stabiliza tion and Conservation Committee. Under previous programs, farms that had less . than 15 acres of wheal, or farms that did not pro duce more than 200 bushels of wheat annually, were not subject to marketing quotas even though they had allotments of 15 acres or less. The 200-bushel exemption has been repealed, and the 15 acre exemption is no longer appli cable under the new program. For 1962, the marketing quota exemption for those who planted 15 acres of wheat during any one of the three years 1959, 1960, or 1961, and whose allotment is less than 13.5 acres, will be reduced to 13.5 acres. Exemption for growers who planted less than 13.5 acres of wheat will be the highest plant ed acreage in any one of these three years if the 1962 allotment is less than such highest acreage, In addition to these quota re- Spud Crop Nearly In CORVALLIS (AP)-The harvest of the Pacific Northwest large fall potato crop is nearly complete, the Oregon State University Extension Service said today. The harvest passed the half way point in Oregon last week and is generally over in Washing ton except in a few scattered fields where growers expected to finish this week. Marketings nearly match those of last fall and some potatoes are being disposed of under the diver sion program. Rail shipments of Northwest po tatoes have been running some what below the volume of last year. In Oregon, rail shipments were one third less, OSU reported In Central Oregon, net prices to growers as of Oct. 23 were mostly $1.20 a hundredweight on U. S. No. 1A Russets, delivered to packing plant. Some went at $1.25. the Extension Service said.

He said that it should be noted that the Elko sale didn't have the gain tested bull though they have a greater area to draw from for their buyers. . Nichols also said, "We noted that the buyers were very selec tive in their buying as to the top quality, greater size, and best gain made by the bulls. This seems to reflect a trend of the cattlemen today to pay pre mium prices for quality cattle. They have found that the top quality bull pays off in bigger calves with bigger gains. Nichols also reported 29 of the bulls were sold to out of coun. ty buyers. Producers Penalties quirements, some small producers may also be subject to marketing quota penalties under certain con ditions, Wilson pointed out. For example, farmers who have not grown wheat in any one of the past three years and who grow wheat for harvest without an allot ment in 1962 will be subject to marketing quota penalties on the entire production. Another group of producers who will also be subject to wheat marketing quota penalties are those who have grown 13.5 acres or more in one of the three years, 1959, 1960, or 1961, and whose 1962 allotments are 13.5 acres or less and who grow for harvest more than 13.5 acres in 1962. Penalties may also apply to small producers who exceed their 1962 allotment when that allot ment is greater than the acreage planted for harvest in any one of the years 1959, 1960, or 1961. On farms where there is ex cess wheat acreage, the amount of wheat subject to a marketing quota penalty would be twice the normal yield of the excess acres multiplied by 65 per cent of the May, 1962, parity price for wheat. Approximately two-thirds of the wheat producers in the United States grow less than 15 acres of wheat, yet these small produc ers raise about one-sixth of all the wheat grown in this country, Wilson explained. By reducing the wheat marketing quota exemption, these growers now have an op portunity to make a greater con tribution in the national effort to bring wheat supplies more near ly in line with demand. ESTIMATES RENOVATION COST WASHINGTON (UPD Sen William Proxmirc, D-Wis., has es timated that the full cost of pres ent renovations to the U.S. Capi tol will amount to "a whopping $22 million. He said Sunday in a statement that it would cost $11,825,000 to move the east front of the U S Capitol 32'i feet forward, and part of this space would be used to provide "private hideaway of fices for 23 high-ranking senators." Other renovations would boost the total cost to $22 million, he said. consigned to the Lake County Range Bull Sale held at the fair grounds here Friday were sold for an average of $508. Most of the animals were Herefords. The grand champion was con signed by Burton L. Chambers of Lakeview and purchased by Ted Hyde of the Yamsey Land and Cattle Company of Bly for $750. Another of the Chambers' bulls was sold latter for $800 to the Meryl Creek Cattle Company (Frank W. Obenchain) of Bly. Chambers averaged $750 on four bulls. Ted Hyde was top buyer at the sale with $3,810 for six animals. Reserve champion, consigned by Frank Duncan of Cassel, Calif., brought $550 and was purchased by Hyde. The grand champion pen of two was shown by Frank Duncan and purchased by Barry Brothers of Lakeview for $410 each; the re serve champion pen of two, con signed by Seven Oaks Herefords of Central Point, was purchased by Grohs Brothers of Bonanza, for $450 each.

D. Vertrccs, County Extension Agent and Harold Schieferstein, Coun ty Weed and Rodent Control Supervisor. Soil sterilants in this area should be applied in the fall and early winter months for best results. Most soil sterilants applied in early spring do not have a chance to become ffective, and disappointment results in most cases of spring application of soil sterilants. Chemicals applied for perma nent control of weeds are usually confined to fence rows, ditch banks, driveways, areas around weeds for fire control and in addition, spot control of peren nial noxious weeds in fields Is part of tills important program Rain and snow due to lall and winter months will take these chemicals through the sur face of the soil into the root zone of the seeds giving perma nent control when these chemi cals are used properly. Many types of sterilants are on the market from the old standby and still reliable chlor ate compounds to new types of soil sterilants designed for spe cific purpose. The clilorate-borate mixtures are effective on deep rooted perennials and will give fairly permanent sterilization when used at the proper rate.

In general the chlorate-borate compounds are not as effective on peat type soil as are some of the new er types of compounds. The CMU chemicals including Telvar and Karmex and combi nations of these materials with other, compounds have proven very effective in the past few years. Designed for specific pur- poses these chemicals must be applied according to the man ufacturer's directions for proper control work. Cost per square rod or per acre basis is an important factor. The newest family of com pounds which included Simazine and Atrazine are showing ex tremely fine promise on both peat soils and mineral soils Simazine is the least soluble of the compounds giving excellent long-term control at the surface of the sod against annual weed pests. Atrazine being more sol uble will leach down into the soil giving better control of deep - rooted plants. These com pounds figured on a square rod or square acre basis have proven to be quite economical. Apply soil sterilants this fall for best results; follow the man ufacturer's directions closely as to the rate per square yard or per square rod application and figure the cost between the various chemicals under your conditions for a given area. Some materials are more eco nomical than others and cost consideration is an important part of the planning. a c The place to go for POWER STEERING REPAIR KITS and HOSES SPECIALIZED SERVICE 1434 Main Ph.

Wheat Plan Rules Listed Approval by farmers of mar keting quotas for the 1962 crop of wheat means that growers in commercial wheal - producing areas will have a broad program available for their next wheat crop to help adjust production and increase farm income. Earl Wil son, chairman, Klamath County, Agricultural Stabilization and Con. servation Committee, said recent ly. Since more than the necessary two-thirds of growers voting in the August referendum approved! marketing quotas, the 1902 wheat program provided by recently en acted legislation will be m effect. The program includes: Price suppurl at a minimum national average of $2 a' bushel, available to those producers in the commercial wheat area who comply with their 1062 farm wheatl allotment and who participate in the special wheat stabilization pro gram. Payments to wheat growers who cooperate in the special 1062 wheat stabilization program for diverting a specified portion of their wheat acreage to conserva tion uses. Farm wheat allotments (or 1962 which are 10 per cent lower than they would have been under pre vious legislation. Marketing quota penalties, at 65 per cent of the May 1, 1962 parity price, on "excess" wheat produced on farms where the farm wheat allotment is not com plied with. The chairman explained I h a t wheat producers subject to mar-l keting quotas on the 1962 crop are those who will have an acre age of wheat in excess of the smaller of (a) 13.5 acres or (b) the highest number of acres actu ally planted to wheat on the farm for harvest in any of the calen dar years 1959, 1960, or 19111.

Ho picked as his senior and grand champion bull, Mr. Island Payment Not For Acreage Payments for acreage retired from production of 1962 crop wheat are not automatic, Earl Wilson, chairman, Klamath Coun ty Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee, ex plained recently. The farm oper ator must sign up prior to the closing date for the mandatory minimum diversion as well as for! the additional voluntary diversion1 of wheat acreage and devote such acreage to approved conservation practices. Such farmers may have thought that when Congress made the mandatory 10 per cent reduction in the national wheat marketing quotas, they automatically became eligible for payments. However, each farmer growing wheat must sign up lor conservation practices on the mandatory diverted acres Alturas FFA Team Active ALTURAS The Alturas FFA Livestock judging team participat ed Oct. 21 at the Chico Regional Field Day.

Re serve senior championship bull honors were awarded to Hamilton Automatic Retirement if he wishes to comply with the law regarding the wheat slabili zation program for the 1962 crop and receive payment. So lor his best interests, the chairman de clared, a farmer should be sure to plan participation signup. farmers who normally grow more than 15 acres of wheat and who hold allotments for more than 15 acres normally will be able to sign up for program participation have their retired acreage pay ment computed, and immediately receivo an advance payment of up to one-half of the value of their total participation figured at (lie minimum rate. The advance payment will be by sight draft. This jight draft may also be used to purchasoi wheat at the market price as de termined by the Commodity Cred it Corporation. Wheat purchased in this manner can be marketed without penalty but is not eligible for price support. Farmers who grew .15 acres or less of wheat for harvest in any one of the years 1959, 1960, or 1961 can sign up for diversion pay ments, but because there are a variety of computations involved, the local ASC committees will make the calculations as soon as possible so each farmer will re ceive the kind of payment re quested and It will be mailed. The operator in signing h i s statement of intention to partici pate in the program can select different courses of action to guide the ASC committeemen' in figuring the payments: (1) to earn the highest total payment; or (2) to retain the highest permitted wheat acres. l ,i' -.iwjina Even when children come i.i with dirty boots, your enrpets stay clean If they're covered with economical, clear Polyfllm (Dow polyethylene film).
