This is the general opin ion of results of the Modoc Coun ty Range Rull Sale of 100 per cent pain tested hulls. The Modoc Cattlemen's Associa tion in conjunction with the Mo doc County farm adviser's office was the first organization in Cali fornia to back such a sale, and it is the only California sale that has sold bulls under the index rating which is a formula estab lished by the University of Cali fornia at Davis. The performance lor rate of pain of the bull is Riven equal consideration to its conformation. The rate of pain bull sale which is fast becoming the most sought after bull on the market was in stigated by Modoc farm adviser Norman Nichols with the coopera tion of the Modoc cattlemen in 11I39. Nichols had been working on selling bulls on their rate of pain as well as conformation for 12 years because of the proven (act that heredity is one of the tine measurements of a bull's value. Nichols emphasized. "There is no question that calves from rap id gaining hulls arc taster gain ing calves. This of course means more money in the rancher's pocket." This year the Murine range bull sale. October 12 and V, i'i Cedarville, will olfcr !H pain tested bulls to buyers from all over the Northwest. The sale for the past throe years has been one Formers!

In 1952 the bulls sold averaged Jfi29 with the top bull owned by Frank Turner of Salt- ley. Calif., bringing $1,330. The first year of the sale there ere 52 bulls consigned for the l ate of gain test. Where originally the cattlemen .had to solicit con- ncrs for the sale there is now a waiting list. The committee has determined that there will be a maximum limit of 90 bulls put on the rate of gain test. The consignors ship the bulls to Modoc County the first of May. They are weighed, graded and checked for age at that time and then turned onto the pasture at the Weber Bros. Parker Creek ranch east of Alturas. The bulls are maintained in a range condition with a maximum nl exercise. They range in large fields that have both meadow pasture and rocky hill side feed. They receive a supplementary' feeding each day of five pounds of grain. The bulls are cared for, checked, and led each day by herdsman Klmer Thomas who is hired by the bull sale commit tee. Every four weeks they are gathered and weighed. The gain of each bull is recorded by the farm adviser's office. Buyers state that besides the recognized benefits of the bull that shows a large rale of gain and the conformation desired by t h e breeders, one of the great assets of the bull sale is that the bulls are in top-notch breeding condi tion at the time of the sale. The buyer is not paying lor the un necessary expense of a fat show type bull that must be put on a diet before he can be put on the range. The cost of ecdin,; the bulls the five months they are on the rate of gain test is $125 per bull which includes feed, vet erinary care, labor, and spray. Forty five days before the sale the bulls are brought into a feed lot where thev are led meadow hay and grain. Three weeks before the sale the feet of each bull are trimmed by a professional fool trimmer. At all times any bull showing any sign of illness or loss of weight is checked by the official veterinarian. Jl)r. Erwin Swanson. He maintains a check on the bull Ihe full time they are on pasture and verifies their good health at the lime of the sale. The day before the sale the bulls are again graded for conformation and condiiton by the sifting com mittee. Sam Thurber. Shasta-Lassen counties farm adviser; Reuben Mbaugh, extension animal hus bandman from the University of California at Davis, and Surprise Vallev rancher William Lockrcll The bulls are then set into their sale order on the index rating giving equal consideration of their conformation and the rate of gain established over the five-month feed period. One thing noted by A. H. Bur mister, sale manager is the in creased buyer interest from out side the Modoc County area. Three years ago, Rurmisler reports, five ier cent of the buyers were from outside the area; two years ago 35 per cent, and last year 50 per cent of the buyers came from outside the county. "They tell me they're coming back this year to."

When the department s new building is constructed the milk audit and stabilization division will again be housed with other divisions. K. W. Sawyer, department chief, and seven other staff members are affected by the move. Aug. t is the date set for milk marketing areas and prices an nounced last week by Sawyer to go into effect. The administrative order setting the prices and es tablishing the marketing areas fol lowed a series of four hearings. Producers who do not want to operate under market pooling may petition for a referendum to establisih a distributor pool. The petition must be filed within 45 davs after market areas are es tablished. Two-thirds of the pro ducers in the market area must approve a switch to a distributor pool for it to become .effective Market pooling establishes an equalization program with all pro ducers sharing and sharing alike in payouts on quota milk.

OREGON AG CHEMICALS TULELAKE 667-2229 LAKEVIEW - In response to questions raised by farmers re garding stored "excess" wheat and other wheat program provi sions, Erwin Abramson, chairman of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Commit tee, recently gave the following brief explanation: 1. Since marketing quotas will not be in effect for the I9M wheat crop, wheat that was grown in excess of marketing quotas in 19S3 or previous years will be subject to the original penalty provisions until July 1. 19fi4. Aft er that dale, stored excess wheat may be released without penalty and with no loss of acreage his tory on the farm wncre the wheat was produced. 2. If the 19M wheat crop from a farm is small enough, because of underplanting or underproduction, arrangements may be made for the early release or part or all! ol the farm s stored excess wheat from previous crop-, without pay ment of penalty and with no loss of wheat acreage history. 3. Loss of wheat acreage history results where a marketing quota penalty is paid or becomes due on excess wheat. Therefore, if the producer pays the penally on stored excess wheat in order to release it before July I, 19fi4. his farm's wheat acreage history w ill be affected. 4. There will be no marketing quota penalties for planting in excess of acreage allotments for Ihe 1904 wheal crop. However, producers who overplant their 1964 allotments will receive his tory credit only in the amount of their allotments. 5. Price support averaging 50 per cent of parity nationally will be available only to producers who plant within the farm acre age allotments established lor the 19fi4 wheat crop. (The pres ent parity price is $2.51 per bushel.) OMAHA, Neb.
