Basin Water
Supply Good
The 1963 water supply outlook
lor Klamath Basin has improved
Average water supplies are ex
pected lor most lands with stored
water. A tool, wet April brought
penerous increases to the hicher
elevation snowpack and produced
much-needed increases in stream-
flow to build up reservoir storage
Many streams, especially on the
east side of the Basin, are still
expected to yield "poor" late sea
son water supplies unless above
normal rainfall continues during
the summer.
Water content of the mountain
snowpack increased generously
during April. Below normal tem
peratures allowed an added ac
cumulation of snow when t h e
spring melt would usually have
caused a reduction during April
The snowpack is now 66 per cent
of the May 1 average and 9D per
cent of last year at this time,
Water shed soils are well
primed as is indicated by the
measurement at Bly Mountain
which is now B2 per cent of
total capacity.
Reservoir storage averages 113
per cent of last year at this time
and 92 per cent of the May
average. Clear Lake now holds
155.400 acre feet while last year
it held 116.400 acre feet. Gerber
Reservoir has 65,100 acre feet in
storage and last year it held only
39,100 acre feet.
Upper Klamath Lake now has
554,900 acre feet in storage and
last year on May 1 it held 531,400
a.f.
Gerber Reservoir inflow is fore
cast at 44 per cent of average
of 3,000 acre feet for the May
June period.
These forecasts assume normal
precipitation and temperature
during the remainder of the fore
cast period. If above normal pre
cipitation continues on the Ba
sin's well-primed watersheds
these forecasts will be exceeded.

Cattle Prospects
Aired At Beef Day
How much gold is there in Cali-j
fornia for Oregon cattlemen?
A West Coast livestock authority1
at University of California will at
tempt to answer the question May
22 at Oregon Stale University's
annual Beef Cattle Day.
Reuben Albaugh, an OSU grad
uate and now extension animal
husbandman at U of C, will dis
cuss the future of Oregon beef pro
rliutinn from a California view-
point: Can Oregon meet Califor-;
Inia's demand for feeder stocK or
j compete with them for the fin
ished market?
Rref cattle feeding in Oregon
now generates about $33 million
annually in local economic activ
ity. However, recent OSU studies
estimate it would be $250 mil
lion if all beef cattle produced in;
Oregon were kept here for finish-,
ing, with large per cnl of ,1,ej
finished carcasses going to the ex-
panding California retail market.;
Large numbers of Oregon;
feeder cattle now go out of state
for finishing in other areas that
have developed grain feeding in
dustries. Another key speaker. Dr. i.
Burton Wood, OSU agricultural ec
onomics department head, will dis
tuss the effect of tile European
Common Market on the beef in
dustry in Oregon and the nation.
A. T. Ralston, animal scientist
and chairman of the event, said
sessions will begin at 8:30 a m
m Withycombe auditorium on
the OSU campus.

Itheir advantages and disadvant
ages will be reviewed by LeRoy

es producing beef without hay on

itures.
OSU animal science department
staff members will report on such
varied topics as steps being taken
lo insure continued popularity of
beef: livestock feeding, manago
ment, and breeding experiments
and performance of Becfmaster;
