Federal Crop Insurance protec
tion on Klamath Basin farms will
be available for 1963 spring crops.
according to word from the
USDA's insurance branch.
All-risk insurance on potatoes,
wheat, barley and oats will be
written on eligible farnis whose
owners or operators apply for the
protection within the sign-up pe
riod. All applications must be
signed before seeding of the in
sured crop begins, and will guar
antee a specific amount of good
quality production 'bushels
ci. per win' against any un
avoidable natural hazard. Pro
ducers who are poor riks or w ho
farm land in an uninsurable area
will not be eligible for the pro
gram. Information meetings on I he
rt"lC program were held last De
cember in Klamath Falls and
Tulelake. Local farmers, exten
sion people and credit agencies
discussed the basis for an all-
risk insurance offer on Ihe four
major crops grown in the Klam
ath Basin. Actuarial studies to
determine coverage and premium
rate are still proceeding.
Much detailed information on
yields of potatoes in tlie area Ls
requiring intensive review by the
corporation. A realistic produc
tion guarantee at a premium rate
accurately based on risk in an
amount per acre the producer can
afford to pay is the aim of this
actuarial review.

ALTL'RAS During the past
year, 47.030 head of cattle, weigh
ing over 14'i thousand tons and
valued at six and three-quarter
millon dollars, were marketed
from local ranches, according to
Loring White, county agricultural
commissioner.
This huge tonnage of meat is
enough to feed one - third of a
million people for a year at Ihe
current per capita consumption
rate of 88 pounds. White said. .
The only year the tonnage of
meat export from Modoc County
ncared this record mark was in
1948 when 39.840 beef animals
were sold from here.
Usually the bulk of Modoc Coun
ty feeder cattle is shipped to feed
lots in central California, but last
year over 1.000 head of prime
young animals went to feedlots in
the north central states of Iowa,
Nebraska and Illinois.
An additional 1.000 head went
to the slates of Ulah and Idaho.
This is the first time for many
years that any significant quan
tities of local beef has been
shipped east.
"Last year's record shipments
did not come as a surprise, since

4-H Leaders
Donate $100
To Program
A $100 donation to the Oregon
International Farm Youth Ex
change (IFYE) program was pre
sented by the Klamath County 4-H
Leaders' Association to Mrs. Re
ata Macy Young. IFYE delegate
to Luxembourg, during her rcb.
7-9 report to Klamath County.
The money will be used by the
state 4-H program (or 1963 IFYE
exchangees. This is the second
year such a contribution has been
made.
The IFYE program is an oppor
tunily for selected farm youths be
I ween 20 and 30 years of age from
the United States to live and work
with families in other countries
for four to six months, and for
farm youth from cooperating coun
tries to likewise come to the Unit
ed States. At the completion of
their overseas visit, United States

Financial support for the IFYE
program is donated largely by the

Angus Show,
Sale Readied
The fifth annual High Country
Angus Show and Sale, sponsored
by the Oregon Angus Association,
will be held on Saturday, March
2, at 1 p.m. at the fairgrounds in
Klamath Falls, according to
Charles Cheyne, chairman of the
event.
Forty five bulls and 15 bred
and open heifers will be shown
and sold. Art Hamilton, an An
gus breeder, will judge the heif
er classes and grade the bulls with
the assistance of a county agent
and a commercial beef producer.
On Friday all cattle will be sift
ed lor soundness by a veterinari
an and the county agent.
Cheyne stated that cattle have
been consigned by breeders from
many areas of Oregon and two
herds from Northern California
and the cattle will be of very good
quality.
A banquet will be held for all
interested cattlemen the night
before the sale, starting at 6:30
p.m. at the Winema Hotel.
Hie Modoc beef industry has been
steadily growing for Ihe past 20
years," White said.
The 1910 census showed 59.137
head of cattle in Modoc County.
Tlie present count is over 104,700
head of cattle. California has
about five people for each head of
cattle in the slate. Modoc County,
with 13 head of cattle per person,
is possibly the highest cattle
human ratio in Ihe stale. "On
this basis we may lay claim to
being California's top cow coun
try." The Modoc County beef indus
try has grown in the face of
seemingly insurmountable odds
presented by reductions in graz
ing allotments on public lands.
The county's present large cattle
population is possible only be
cause of several compensating
factors, chiefly the extensive im
provements made on privately
owned grazing land over the past
decades.
In addition, about 10,000 acres
of cropland have been converted
from crop production to pasture
since 1959, and local ranchers are
buying much more hay, pelleted
feed, and other supplementary
feed than they did a decade or
two ago. The cost increasing
changes have in turn been pos
sible only because of firm mar
kets and relatively favorable beef
prices.

WASHINGTON (UP1 - The
Agriculture Department said to
day the 5 per cent increase in the

prices during the late winter and
early summer of 1!HB to average:
substantially below those of a
year earlier.
The price weakness likely will
prevail through the last half of

19(13 spring pig crop is up the 4i
per cent indicated from farmers'
breeding intentions.
In a review of the livestock and
meat situation, the department
said red meat production during
the first half of 13 will be up
significantly from a year earlier.
The meat supply will include!
more beef and pork, but less veal.
lamb, and mutton. The supply of
led beef will be record large dur

agency said.
Some of the price strengthen

pork in cold storage and in
creased production of broilers,
Cold storage holdings of pork at
