Oregon vyednesda, , Xovembe7Tr9M IMGE7 Seed Production, Markets To Be Talked At Session Growers and seed industry representatives will discuss im portant phases of seed produc tion and marketing during the 23rd annual meeting of the Ore gon Seed Growers League Dec. S to 11 at Portland. Talks during the three - day meet will cover such subjects as industry problems, seed crop estimates, and foreign markets or Oregon seed. The meeting will open Dec. 9 at 10 a m. in the Park Haviland Hotel, ac cording to Rex Warren, Oregon State University farm crops socialist and league secre tary. Dr. J. R. Cowan, head of OSU's Farm Crops Department, will acquaint growers with cur rent challenges to the indus try, including changes in mar ket demand, new varieties, and the problem of maintaining gen etic purity in seed varieties. Ray Hile, head of the Ore gon Crop Reporting Service, will review the .present status of seed crop estimates made Extra Care Can Prevent Loss Of Under size Pigs A little extra care can save I hose weak or undersized new born pigs the ones that usually die. And raising these "runts" can mean more profit for the swine producer, according to Dr. D. C. England, animal sci entist at the Oregon Stale Uni versity Agricultural Experiment Station. Research conducted by Dr. England points to chilling and difficulty in getting enough food as the main reasons for early death of runty pigs. Using covered brooders with heat lamps, and supplementing runty pigs with a sow milk rcplacer ior cow's milk with a whole egg mixed in each quart) made it possible to raise 91 per cent of the "runts" in OSU experi ments. Normal survival rate without this extra care is about 32 per cent for the runty pigs and 82 per cent for normal size pigs. England points out that it takes about the same amount of feed and labor from the time the sow is bred until the Known for their rich shrimp and tuna fishing grounds, giant tortoises and iguanas, the Gala pagos Islands belong to Ecua dor.

Seed League committees will meet following the opening talks and discuss the possibility of obtaining crop estimates that more nearly fit field conditions and the needs of growers. Tax problems will be outlined by Dr. Grant Blanch. OSU agri cultural economist. Dr. Virgil Freed, head of the OSU De partment of Agricultural Chem istry, will talk about pesticides good and bad. Oregon Con gressman Robert B. Duncan will discuss federal legislation. Other speakers scheduled for the meeting include Stanley Weston, grower from the Peace River area of British Colum bia; Alenby White, Xorthrup King Seed Company, Minneapo lis. Minn.; Jack Wells. Seed and Grain marketing specialist. For eign Agricultural Service, Wash ington, D.C.; and Larry Zim merman, Weather Bureau rep resentative, stationed at Oregon State University. The Oregon Seed Growers pigs are weaned, whether six pigs or 12 are farrowed and raised. It takes about six pigs to pay all tlie costs charged to the sow. On this basis, one sow that raises 12 pigs is just as prof itable as three sows that raise eight pigs each. The OSU animal scientist has found that pigs that are small er at birth usually grow more slowly and take longer to reach market weight. But the slowest rate of growth is usually before and just after weaning, until the runts reach the weaning weights of their heavier littermales. From 60 to 200 pounds, there is no great difference in the rate of gain or feed efficiency between pigs weaned at differ ent weights. Carcass measure ments showed no differences in high and low birth weight, aft er they reached market weight. Greatest expense involved in raising runty pigs is the cost of feeding them from weaning until they reach the weight at which the heavier pigs were weaned. This takes from two to three weeks. As a result of his research, England recommends that pigs be fed according to weight rather than age, for greater profits.

FB Week Planned Farm Bureau members across Oregon will be busy dur ing the first week of December following the decision of t h e Oregon Farm Bureau federation board of directors designating Dec. 2-7 as Farm Bureau Week in Oregon. President Harold Beach, Her mt'ston, has called on county Farm Bureaus to put forth ex tra effort during Farm Bureau Week to expand the member ship of Farm Bureau and to acquaint more rural and urban people with the work done by Farm Bureau. Beach said, "I hope all county Farm Bureaus will appoint special committees to help make this week a big success and to explain Farm Bureau to more people through out the state." V i c Thompson. Gresham, OFBF membership growth chairman, said member ship teams across the state are scheduled to take to the road during Farm Bureau Week to invite every farm family to join the world's largest farm or ganization, Farm Bureau. Another important aspect of Farm Bureau Week is to gain better understanding of Farm Bureau by urban people. Spe cial news releases and radio programs will be used to call attention to the great impact of agriculture and Farm Bureau on all segments of our society. A special statement by the gov ernor and proclamations by mayors of Oregon cities and towns will add to the import ance of the week. Many county Farm Bureaus are undertaking siccial window displays in local stores to point out the purpose of Farm Bu reau and the importance of Farm Bureau to the community- The week - long recognition program will be the first Farm Bureau Week held in Oregon. It is hoped the week will be come an annual event with par ticipation by Farm Bureau members in all counties and center Farm Bureaus. SanLula.Col. Ho.

Disease Control Plans Told To Livestock Men Members of the Western Ore gon Livestock Association were assured Friday, Nov, 22, that the Oregon Department of Ag riculture would continue to maintain the essential elements of its disease control program, despite the budget cuts necessi tated by reduction in funds. Speaking to the group at its meeting at Roseburg, J. V. Southworth, assistant director with the department for live stock services, said that in both the tuberculosis and brucello sis control programs testing in reactor and quarantined herds will be continued and such oth er testing as is ncccsssary to maintain certification through out the state. Southworth told the livestock people the department would pay for testing performed at auction markets. He said this decision had been made because the department realizes it is im portant to good disease control to encourage the testing of live stock being sold and going back to the country and that the live stock auction market is one of the most efficient places to do this testing. The assistalnt director said it remained to be seen as to whether stale - federal funds would be available to pay for vaccination of heifers after Dec. 15. He then remarked that it was the department's hope and be lief that progressive stock peo ple would have their heifers vac cinated, even if they must pay the bill, because vaccinated heifers are more valuable when sold and as cows when kept in the herd for replacements. Southworth told the group he did not expect any extraordina FARM LOANS The PRUDENTIAL Woy N EAl 50 yeor omortization plan with more liberal appraitali and tower annual poy menti on farmt or ranches with gravity, sprink ler or well irrigation in Klamath, Lake, Modoc ond Siskiyou Counties.

BARNHISEL AGENCY 112 So. 8th St. Production Facts Asked On Herds Production records of dairy herds producing grade A milk are of prime importance to dai rymen purchasing cows for in creased milk quotas under the market pool established by Ore gon's new milk stabilization law. Kenneth W. Sawyer, chief of the milk audit and stabilization division of tlie Oregon Depart ment of Agriculture, reminds producers that quotas bought with the cows can change when the department reviews the quo tas in March, 19H. At that time the four low pro duction months of the previous 12-month period will be used as a base for computing quotas. This means a drop in produc tion in the herd from which the producer secured cows would lower the share of that herd's quota that he purchased. Sawyer has been urging dai rymen purchasing milk cows to be sure the herd production is sufficient to support the herd's quota and then to agree on the percentage of the monthly pro duction record they w ill acquire with the quota. He advises all producers purchasing additional cattle from a herd with quota to clear with the milk audit and stabilization division before the sale is completed. Some 1,400 grade A milk pro ducers in area 1, which includes all of the state except Harney, 'Malheur and Curry counties, have been operating under a market pool with quotas s e t by the state since Oct. 1. Daily class 1 quotas assigned p r o ducers in this area total l,(i28, (144 pounds. Curry, Harney and Malheur counties petitioned to operate tinder distributor pools with dai rymen's quotas set by the dis tributor. These quotas arc not necessarily affected by produc tion records. All areas of the state have minimum class 1 and class 2 ipriccs set by the state regard less of the type of pool in ef fect. These prices have been in effect since Aug. 1. Francis Scott Key, author of the national anthem of the Unit ed States, is buried in Fred erick. Md. ry changes in the brand pro gram within the next year or two and the department would continue to emphasize the im portance of inspecting for any brand that might be present in addition to the brand of the person in possession of the ani mal at the time of inspection. During his talk the assistant director emphasized the neces sity for farmers and ranchers to plan their operation for at least two and preferably three years ahead, then review the plans yearly and alter accord ing to changes that have oc curred. He said the plans should cov er crops produced, pastures grazed, products sold, improve ments planned and financing necessary to maintain the oper ation. Southworth pointed out that such planning is advantageous, not only because it results in more efficient utilization of the farm or ranch resources, but it makes it easier for the farm er or stockman to explain his o)cration to bankers and loan agencies when funds are needed to finance improvements or op erations.

TU 2-3461 Study Lowers Cost Of Subclover Stand Research by two Oregon State University agricultural scien tists has shown how to establish a stand of subclover for less than $20 an acre, and opened up the possibility of making profitable pasture land out of more than a million acres of undeveloped hill land and de pleted cropland in Western Ore gon. Dr. William McGuire. OSU agronomist, and Dr. Murray Dawson, soil scientist, report yields of up to three tons dry subclover forage per acre the first season after establishing the stand. This is a high quality feed that could produce some 400 pounds of meat per acre if fed before drying on the ground. Mixing the seed with lime and superphosphate before planting is tlie key to cutting the cost of establishing subclo ver. Surrounding the seed with, the fertilizer and lime mixture as it is planted sets up ideal growing conditions, without the expense involved in liming and fertilizing the entire plow layer. Using this metlwd, McUuire and Dawson succeeded in estab lishing 100 per cent stands in al most all of the trials, when seed was also inoculated with effective strains of rhizobia bac teria. Trials were conducted at 10 locations throughout Western Oregon. Tlie lime-superphosphate mix ture changes soil acidity around the seed so that rhizobia bac teria multiply rapidly and enter the seedling roots. This lakes three to four weeks for subclo ver. The rhizobia bacteria must be present for the subclover plant to manufacture its own 4-H I'OUNTItV KNITTEKS The following members are new officers for the year: Sharon Micka, president; Jan da Suly, vice president; Linda Stastny, secretary - treasurer; Paula Suty, news reporter; Bruce Victurin, sergeant - at arms; and Janet Victorin, song and gamo leader.

It lakes about 200 pounds of lime and 200 minds of 20 per cent superphosphate per acre to plant with the seed. Lime is added to the superphosphate about 10 days before seeding, so tlie mixture will bo chemical ly neutral when it is added to the inoculated subclover seed. If a soil test shows less than 15 pounds of phosphate per acre, it may be necessary to double the amount of the mixture used; that is, 400 poiuKls each of the lime and superphosphate per acre. In fact the phosphate soil test value is a reliable index to use in determining the pounds of lime and superphosphate mix ture to apply. McGuire and Dawson tried several other methods of es tablishing subclover, including pelleting tlie seeds w ith three to four pounds of lime per acre, with band application of phos phate at seeding time. The pelleted seed treatment w as only partly successful. Typ ical results show that it takes two to three years for stands planted with pelleted seed to produce as much forage as the lime - suerphosphatc treatment yielded tlie first year. Major objective of the tests was to find a means of keeping the cost of establishing subclo ver below $20 an acre, and still get a good stand. The lime-superphosphate treatment costs costs about $11.50 to $10 per acre, depending on the amount of phosphate used. Additional costs include the cost of the seed, seed bed preparation, and seeding.
