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

OSU's Farm Crops Department,
will acquaint growers with cur

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

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.

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

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

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.

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. Ford Trucks

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

nitrogen, which is essential for
plant growth.
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.
