es on the sage covered range
land was made possible through
the development of a new range
improvement practice known as
the spray and seed technique.
During the early spring of 1961,
Bob Morehouse, manager of the
View Point Ranch near Christ
mas Valley, and Lake County Ex
tension agents tackled the problem
of producing livestock forage on
3,500 acres of desert rangeland
near Lost Forest. At the Lime, the
job looked pretty tough as the
area was covered by a good thick
stand of sagebrush and not much
else except plenty of large bould
ers. An acre of ground was produc
ing less than 50 pounds of air
dry forage per acre. This means
it would have taken 32 acres to
produce enough feed for one cow
(or one month. View Point cows
did not even use the area accord
ing to .Morehouse, they were just
driven back and forth across it to
better ranges.
A decision was made during (he
fall to attempt a new method of
ange improvement in the area.
Since the area could not be plowed;
i because of large rocks and
severe wind erosion) a different;
method of eliminating the mois
ture sucking sagebrush and pre
paring a seedbed has to be used.
It was decided to spray the brush
but still there was no source of
grass. To increase desirable grass
production, an improved grass had
to be seeded. The best answer
seemed to be to drill crested
whealgrass right into the stand
ing brush following spraying.
During early Jun3 of 1961,
3.500 acres of the sagebrush was
sprayed with 2 pounds of 2,i-D
ester per acre. The same fall and
during the winter, the entire area
was seeded with crested wheat-
grass using rangeland drills andl

the Oregon Press Seeder. The en
tire operation cost approximately
$7.00 per acre. View Point (West
Sacramento Enterprises! provided
(he spray job, seed, and labor
while the BLM provided the drills
since (he project was a co-opera-live
endeavor on BLM lands.
Forage production response to
the treatment has been very grati
fying. As Frank Anderson, present
manager of the View Point
Ranch says, "it has turned a
practically worthless piece of;
range into usuable cow pasture
that we can get a lot of use
from."
In August of 1962, the treated
area was producing 72 pounds
of air dry forage per acre com
pared to 49 pounds on the un
treated area. In other words
it would have taken approximately
22 acres of the treated area to
maintain a cow for one month if
only one half the forage were
used as is generally recommend
ed, and 33 acres of the untreat
ed area. During August 1963, the
sprayed and seeded area pro
duced 269 pounds of air dry for-!
age per acre compared to 120;
pounds in the untreated area. Six
acres of the (reated area could;
support a cow for one month while'
it would take 19 acres of the un
treated area.
Prior lo the spraying and seed
ing (rca(ment, (he 3,500 acres
would have supported 315 cows
for one month at the peak of
its production. In 1963, only the
second year afler (reatmen(, the
3.500 acres produced enough feed
for 1.177 cows for one month. Of
the forage produced in 1963, crest
ed whealgrass accounted for 37
per cen( of (he (o(al forage pro
duction. Squirreltail composed 33
per cent, and annual weeds the
remaining 30 per cent.

LAKEVIEW - Bidders at the
1963 Rotary-sponsored 4-H and
FFA Lives(ock Sale had an oppor
tunity (0 get a good look at the
meat on which (hey were bidding
when this year's sale opened
with the offering of four dressed
beeves. The steers were offered
"on the hook" as part of a trial
program which had as its two
fold objective, the determination
of buyer acceptance of this meth
od of selling, and the critical
evaluation of the animals being
offered for sale.
Four animals are not enough
for the kind of trial from which
one may draw valid, general con
clusions, but this little (rial did
point up some significant (hings
for consideration. Notable was the
fact that none of the four steers
could be criticized as being overly
fat or "wastcy." When the red
meat yield the amount of bone
less, trimmed retail cuts from the
round, loin, rib. and chuck was
computed, it was determined that
the dressed weight of each steer
would be accounted for in these
more valuable cuts.
Measurement of, the fat thick
ness over (he twelfth rib an in
dication of the amount of fat de
posited throughout the carcass-
showed none of the steers to be ex
cessively fat. Smaller than usual
amounts of kidney and pelvic fat
were furhter indications of this
fact.
Dressing percentages of (he four
steers ranged from 60.2 per cent
(0 63.2 per cent, and the size
of the rib eye the rib s(eak
varied from 12.3 square inches to
14.0 square inches. Rib eye mus
cles of this size are indicative of
good muscle development through
out the animal; a fact which;
helps lo account for the good
yield of boneless, trimmed red
meat.

WEED Herds of big white

"home on the range" in Interna

lands Area since the early 1900s.
Forest products and livestock
are two of the main industries in
Northern California's Siskiyou
County.
I-P's Weed Woodlands Area has
some excellent range for graz
ing, and it is an important use
there in the company's multiple
use forest management program.
Through continuing lease agree
ments with the company, a num
ber of cattlemen annually run
their beef in the Grass Lake,
Klamath River, and Scott Valley
portions of the tree farm.
There are approximately 900
head of Herefords munching con
tentedly on I-P's timber grass
lands at present under these reg
ular leases. Many more cattle
graze part time on company tree
farm areas that intermingle with
U.S. National Forest lands.
"The company works closely
with the Forest Service in graz
ing management," reports War
ren Goldsmith, Weed Woodlands
Area manager. "We have a co
operative agreement for grazing
in areas that are a checker
board of I-P - National Forest
land ownership. "We also coor
dinate our range season's opening
and closing with the Forest Serv
ice's grazing dates in the high
country.

Basin potato growers will meet
at the Merrill Recreation Hall
Thursday evening, Sept. 19, at
7:30.
The joint meeting of Klamath,
Butte Valley and Tulelake potato
growers is scneauiea primarily
to discuss potato marketing or
der size and grade regulation
for (he 1963 crop.
It has become practice for the
Potato Marketing Order Control
Committe to delay meeting for
the purpose of recommending reg
ulations until grower meetings
have been held in all producing
areas.
A meeting of the Oregon - Cali
fornia Potato Committee which
administers Marketing Order 947
(applicable here) is scheduled at

a.m., Monday, Sept. 23.

enforcement of the act.
The temporary resurainina or
der was released on hearing Aug.
9 out the court enjoined the de
partment from collecting fees on
Washington milk purchased by
Oregon Milk, Inc., and ordered
any audit fees collected to be held
in trust until such time as the
suit could be tried,
The trial never came off be
cause of the stipulation to d i s
miss. This final order was made
without prejudice to any p a r t y
to the suit and without assessment
of costs against either side. The
stipulation dissolved the injunc
tion order of Aug. 9, thus freeing
the stabilization act of any court
action at this time.
The stipulation is an aftermath
of the State Department of Agri
culture's hearing on Aug. 28 in
Salem when proposed regulations
under the new milk law were un
der discussion.
At the hearing, K. W. Sawyer,
milk audit and stabilization divi
sion chief for SDA, proposed that
out-of-state producers and their
handlers enter into voluntary
privileges under the Oregon law.
Without such a contract between
the two parties, Sawyer suggest
ed that Oregon handlers main
tain a separate pool for the
out-of-state milk they purchase.
