DON COIN WALROD ÄROUND THE FARM BY County Extension Agent Columbia county sheep grow ers will be interested to know that they will be able to receive whenever assistance hereafter they have difficulties with preda- tors. This assistance can be ob- tamed by notifying our office whenever losses occur or when- ever predators are seen in the area. This arrangement for assis- tance in predator control has been worked out by members of the Columbia County Court in co operation with a committee of the Columbia County Livestock Association and a committee of the Columbia County Farm Bureau. Members of various Granges also discussed this mat ter in their meetings and gave the program their support. S H Hansen and Mel Smith, repre sentatives for the predator con trol branch of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, met with the county folks to work out a pro gram of control for the coming year. Some of the folks who spent considerable time discussing, planning, and working on the program of predator control are: George and John Poysky; Roy Engbretson; Jess Lewis; Ronald Hem, Warr'n; George Cowles, Rainier; and Loren Johnson, Scappoose. Many others also worked on the problem. Farrell West will be serving Columbia county as trapper. Far rell has a good reputation as a trapper, and folks who hav ■ used his service report that they have been well pleased with the work that he does. Funds to pay for the predator control program are provided by the county, through the county court and budget com mittee, by the state through State Game Commission, and federal government through Fish and Wildlife Service. Funds provided are not quite adequate to keep West working the entire year, but according to agreement he will be available all year long to do trouble-shooting whenever predators cause ditfi- culty. In addition to trouble-shooting when predators move in, West will maintain trap lines, end, even more important, he will conduct ' a poisoning campaign during the winter season. This poisoning campaign will be close ly controlled and will be limit'd to areas that are uninhabited or frequented by men or livestock. A small amount of poisoning was carried on in this and other coun ties last year and apparently will be a big success. Special poisons such as 1080 (sodium fluorace- tate) and special techniques are used to protect fur bearing am- mals and attract only coyotes.

The sheep industry in Colum bia county has a considerable po tential—much greater than it is at the present time. Our climate and location makes many parts of the county ideal for the prouuc- tion of early spring lambs. Many of our farm are small but could be well adopted to a small farm flock of ’ewes, Feeder lambs— not in thfc usual feed lot — have worked out very well for folks on the bottom lands at Clatskanie and Rainier. Many folks have said that they have either tried to raise lambs or would like to but because of the predator situation, they did not feel that it would be a pro fitable venture. From past ex perience, we feel that this will no longer be an obstacle now that a tr apper is available to do trouble shooting and to work on preda tors moving down from the high country. The second annual 4-H home economics tour to Portland is scheduled for Thursday, July 15, according to Mrs. Margaret Allyn, home agent. Places to be visited include the Nabisco Company, Oregon Worst- id Mill, Foundation Worsted Mill and KOIN-TV Studios Any club members enrolled in a home economics club is eligible to attend. Lunch will be eaten at one of the parks. All those going must register with the county extension office by Saturday.
