Specialist Asks Restraint
In Planning Seed Planting
Oregon seed growers will need;
to use restraint in planning fall
plantings or surplus situations can
be expected again, cautions Ray
Teal, Oregon State University ex
tension seed marketing specialist.
Teal makes the statement in the
new Oregon Farm and Market
Outlook Circular after noting that
Oregon seed prices have climbed
this year as a result of good
foreign and domestic demands and
smaller crops both in Oregon and
elsewhere.
Copies of the circular are avail
able from county extension offices

Ryegrass acreage in 1964 no
larger than this year would aid
in keeping prices near present
levels, Teal believes. The 1963 rye
grass crop is moving at higher
prices than a year ago.
The combined acreage of com
mon and perennial ryegrass is
smaller than in 1962 and yields
are lower, particularly for peren
nial. Use last season, both in do
mestic and foreign markets, was
large. Short seed crops in some
countries and low ryegrass prices!
encouraged use, Teal noted.
Indications now are that exports
of the ryegrasses may not be as
large this season as lasl. he point
ed out, and that domestic use will
be smaller because of higher pric
es. Oregon growers should consider
maintaining or slightly increasing
the present acreage of hairy vetch
seed as a rotation crop, the spe-i
cialist said. The nation's hairy
vetch seed crop was 31 per cent
larger this year than 1962 due to
a large Texas crop. Oregon's crop
was smaller.
Common vetch prices may be
expected to remain strong next
year because of short supplies.
he noted. Oregon's crop this year
was the smallest since estimates
were begun in 19.16. Some in
crease in acreage may be justi-
lied. Teal added.
Current prices for crimson clo
ver seed are above levels of re
cent years as a result of smaller
crops in Oregon and the southern
states and a decline in carryover
stocks. Oregon growers should
maintain or increase present ao
reage in keeping with acreage de
cline in the south. Teal believes.
If prices get too high, other leg
ume cover crops will be used
Prices for fine fescue seed now
are much above recent years due
primarily to the decline of inv
ports from Canada, Denmark and
The Netherlands. Low prices in
recent years encouraged wheat on
fescue land in Canada and blue
grass seed in Europe.
Low prices also encouraged
greater use of fine fescue seed in
lawn mixtures. Some increase in
fine fescue acreage in Oregon is
justified. Teal believes, and may
be desirable to hold prices down
to levels that will not encouragol
foreign competition.
Bentgrass seed prices are re
flecting a good export market and
a generally strong turf seed mar
ket. Industry groups are working
toward promoting Highland bent
grass in suitable new areas and
are making plans to maintain and
jencourage export markets.
The Northwest is continuing to
become the major blucgrass seed
producing area in the nation. Al
though no official estimates are
available, indications are that
this year's Northwest crop is be
tween 12 and 15 million pounds of
seed, compared with two million
pounds in the Midwest, Teal said.
Menon bluegrass prices are ex
pected to hold at present levels be
cause of smaller supplies. Teal
said. This year's crop was 16 per
cent below last year and use con
tinued to increase each year.
Some additional plantings of blue
grass, both common and improved
varieties, is justified as Midwest
acreage declines, he sa'd.
Tall fescue prices are higher
than in recent years as use has
been maintained wh'le supplies
have declined until this year. Teal
reported. Yields this year are up
30 per cent above 19B2. However,
carryover on July 1 was the low
est since 1960, so supplies are not
excessive. However, prices are not
expected to rise under present
conditions, he pointed but.
While prices on alfalfa and
red clover seed are not expected
to reach last year's highs,
prices are expected lo lemain at
tractive in areas where high yields
can be maintained, Teal said.
Vitamin Proves Useful
In Aiding Storage Life
A vitamin famous for its life
saving qualities is being recog
nized for another more unusual
trait its ability to extend storage
life of foods.
Research on Vitamin K-5 will
be continued at Oregon State Uni
versity this year with a $12,546
grant to Dr. H. Y. Yang, OSU
food scientist. This is the fourth
year that the U.S. Department of
Health, Education and Welfare
has supported the project. Vita

So far, OSU workers have found
that Vitamin K-5 is several times
more effective than most com

vegetables, fruits, meats, poultry
and dairy foods. A small amount
added to some of these foods ex

This year, OSU workers will

Short Horse Course Slated
tpnioirvi Rwnmim
mmmm
Two of the nation's leading ex
perts on horses will be instruc
tors at Oregon's 8th annual Horse
men's Short Course Nov. 16 and
17 at Oregon State University.
They are Mrs. Fern Palmer
Bitlnor, equitation teacher at Lin-
denwood College in St. Charles,
Mo., whoso specialty is judging
and equitation classes: and Dr,
J. D. Wheat, veterinarian at the
University of California in Davis
who will discuss feet, logs and
unsoundness in horses.
The short course is open to any
one, 18 years of age or older, who
is interested in horses. Registra
tion fee is $10, announced A. W
Oliver, OSU professor emeritus of
animal science, who is in charge
of the event. Advance registra
tion is not necessary, but may be
advisable, he said, because the
course will be limited lo 120 stu
dents.
A film on different breeds of
horses will lead off the short
course. The public is invited to
the film, which will be shown in
OSU's Withycombe auditorium
Nov. 15 at 7:30 p.m.
Also on the short course agenda
will be a discussion of breeds,
and a panel on various other
aspects of horses. Mrs. Bittner
and Dr. Wheat will be joined on the
panel by members of the Oregon
Horsemen's Association and the
OSU staff, co-sponsors of the short
course.
1 962 Farm Summary Shows Farmers
Income Higher, Expenses Also Up
For the first time since 1959,
Oregon farmers in 1982 closed the
year with higher incomes, re
ports Mrs. Elvera Horrell, Oregon
State University extension agricul
tural economist. However, produc
tion expenses, on an average, took
nearly $8 out of every $10 fann
ers received in cash.
Cash receipts from farm mar
ketings in 1962 increased six per
cent over 1961 to reach $436 mil
lion, the most Oregon farm oper
ators have received since 1951,
Mrs. Horrell said after reviewing
U.S. Department of Agriculture re
ports and other information.
The farmer's cash intake was
increased by 1962's higher govern
ment payments of $15.1 million,
nearly $5 million higher than 1061.
Oregon farmers were also cred
ited with $42.4 million in non-mon
ey income for a total of $493.3
million.
Production expenses for 1962
came to $363.3 million. They
climbed five per cent over 1961,
Mrs. Horrell poined out. Produc
tion expenses are now at the high
est point on record, having in
creased 17 per cent since 1951.
Current operating expenses In
creased with higher outlays on al
most all items except fertilizer
and lime.
A considerable part of Oregon's
increase in cash farm receipts
came from cattle and wheat, the
state's two leading products. Cat
tle and calf receipts are at a rec
ord high, being up more than a
tenth over 1961. Malheur County,
Oregon's leading beef producer,
showed an 11 per cent increase
with only Tillamook County fail
ing to show a gain.
Wheat receipts zoomed 36 per
rent last year, Mrs. Horrell said.
Umatilla, number one w heat coun
ty in the stale and eighth in the
nation, upped its 1962 crop wheal
receipts a good 50 per cent. Fruit
and vegetables also showed an in
crease, but feed crops, dairy and
poultry products and miscel
laneous livestock showed lesser
amounts taken in from sales.
On a per farm basis, net in
come rose 10 per cent last year
to $2,866. This average net in
come per farm still lags behind
the peaks of 1951 and 1952 by
around 20 por cent, she said. Na
tionally, income for each farm
person last year averaged $1,436,
with more than a third coming
from off-farm sources. This com
pares with a per capita income
of $2,445 for the non-farm person.
On the basis of cash farm sales,
Oregon ranked 30lh and rated 29th
among the 48 states in net income
per farm. California was first in
cash receipts from marketings,
while Arizona held top spot on
the basis of net income per farm.

Better Beef
Cattlemen are providing more and better
beef, at lower cost, than ever before. Today's high
quality beef is no accident. Improved feeding, in
creased knowledge of and attention ta good nu- '
trition and health practices, have been of inesti--matable
value to the cattle industry.
Controlling cattle grubs possibe only dur
ing the past few years is a management prac
tice that is paying off for cattle raisers every
where. In 1961 Dow Chemical Co. introduced Rue
lene 25 E 5', the first Pour-On insecticide for grub
control. By the end of 1962 more than five mil
lion cattle had been treated by the easy, effective
Pour-On method with Ruolcne 25E.
