Coach's Comer
M E L V IN NICE
Football Coack
After a full week of football
practice there were few sur
prises but no major disappoint
ments, according to football
coach Melvin Nice. “Everything
seems to be progressing well,
he said “We now have 25 varsity
football players and 20 fresh
men. We nave also picked up one
transfer student from the Port
land area His name is Rob
Vicors and he is a senior.”
Injuries so far into the year
have been minor Kris Crowston
received a bad bruise on his left
knee while Jim Thompson had
been hampered by a bad ankle
but only the usual cuts and
bruises have prevailed to date
with no slowing in play.
“Many of the positions are be
ginning to solidify,” Nice com
mented. “As of now we are
running Clint Holsey as No 1
split end, backed up by Bob
Brooks At flank, Bryan Traylor
is first. On the strong side of the
line we have Kris Crowston,
Loren Kennedy and Gordy
Crowston. On our quick side, we
have Randy Hansen and Mike
Sutherlin. Scott Nance is now at
center with Don Knight helping
Our backfield is made up of
quarterbacks Kandy Ellson and
Jeff Bellingham. Running backs
are Ed Buckner. Brad Belling
ham, Ken Enneberg, Tim Titus,
Rob Vicors and Terry Ellson.”
The coach went on to say, “our
biggest defensive surprise of the
season so far, is Don Knight At
five-foot nine-inches and 240-
pounds, he has been causing a lot
of problems for our offensive
linemen. His speed for short dis
tances is very good and being
built so close to the ground is one
tough fella to move.”
All football fans are invited to
the Loggers Booster Breakfast
slated this Saturday, September
7, at 7 a m at the Evangelical
Church. All seniors are invited
as guests Others are welcome to
join in boosting the Loggers
Cost for the breakfast is $1.

J IM THO M PSO N
Senior Jim Thompson played
middle linebacker for the Log
gers last year and won all-league
honors at that position. “When
you start talking about hitters,
Jim would have to be included,”
said coach Nice. "He is the con
fident kind that enjoys colliding
with people.”
At five-foot nine-inches tall
and 165 pounds. Jim has to be
one of the toughest players in
the league, according to Nice.
“When we will be using our 4-3
defense, Jim will be middle line
backer and on the six-man line,
left linebacker.”
Nice smiled wryly, adding, “a
few years ago I use to enjoy
dressing down and scrimmaging
with the team but with line
backers like Jim, my chances of
survival is about as good as a
weed in Bud Weigand's garden ”

AROUND THE
FARM - - -
By Don Coin Walrod
County Extension Agent
past 10 years.
Even so, the bottom of the
slump in sheep numbers ap
parently is not in sight. Econ
omists estimate that this years
sheep and lamb slaughter would
have to drop 15 to 20 percent
from the 1973 pace if the inven
tory is to stabilize. Apparently
the prospect of that happening is
highly inlikely.
» » » » T o » » » » » »
A Protein Perspective.
The magazine “Agricultural
Research" notes continued dire
predictions of a so-called protein
crunch appearing in the press
Their gist: mass starvation if
food production does not keep
pace with the world population
growth over the next 50 years.
Since protein is expected to be
come the most limited nutrient,
many writers are urging that
grain be consumed directly by
people rather than be fed to live
stock, especially beef cattle,
which they portray as grossly
inefficient converters of grain
and oil-seeds into meat, thereby
reducing the world’s food sup
ply
People have long practiced
several kinds of vegetarianism
and that is a basic right, but
most of us want meat in our
diets. Observers who contend
that grain must inevitable re
place meat as a protein staple
fail to take into account basic
realities concerning reminant
livestock and and agricultural
science. For such ruminants as
cattle and sheep are superbly
endowed to thrive on forages,
pasture and harvested herbage,
converting fibrous material that
people cannot eat into protein-
rich-m eat and milk. Indeed,
forages account for about 70
percent of the nutrients that beef
cattle consume over their life
times this is a notable statistic
because over half of the total
U.S. land area about a billion
acres-is fit not for cropping but
for producing forage Urban
societies, it appears, need more
public awareness about the food
production that goes on in that
miracle chamber, the rumen.
In the dark of a cow’s rumen
are Lilliputian armies of mi
crobes that digest and mobilize
nutrients for the cow to assim
ilate Some microbes digest cell
ulose, others make certain vita
mins, still others make digest
ible protein for the cow, either
from nonprotein nitrogen pres
ent in forages of that fed as urea
The ruminant's “fermentation
vat” can also digest many waste
from the processing of food for
human consumption. These in
clude by-products from prepar
ing flour, starch, glucose, sugar
beets, and distillery products as
well as meatpacking wastes.
Another feed source that scien
tists are working to exploit is the
mountain of high-fiber wastes
produced each year, especially
straw If straw could be ren
dered digestible, it could main
tain 49 million head of cattle.
Urea looms large in meeting
the future feed needs of rumi
nants. Although some problems
remain to be worked out, more
urea is being fed to cattle. A
measure of its promise is at
tested by a 10 year-old bull at
Beltsville which has since the
age of 84 days obtained all its
nitrogen from urea Agricultural
scientists of many disciplines
are striving to find and develope
new sources of protein. Even so,
the ruminant will maintain its
age-old role as a major con
tributor of protein-rich meat for
tomorrow.
Sheep Numbers Continue To
Decline.
Thousands of farmers raise
sheep, enjoy the work, and make
money at it. However, the ranks
of the sheep producer are being
closed year by year as ev
idenced by the steady drop in the
nation’s sheep population.
Already the smallest of rec
ord, the stock sheep and lamb
inventory took another plunge in
1973. Only 13.9 million remained
at the beginning of 1974-about a
million fewer than a year earlier
and down 15 million from 1960
when the present downward
trend started
Livestock specialists of the
economic research b l a m e
the decline on a long list of
problems plaguing the industry,
among them predator losses, a
shortage of good labor, and up
until last year, low lamb and
wool prices. The improvement of
lamb and wool proces may en
courage producers to stay in
business and the rate of li
quidation will probably decline
from the 6 percent average of the
Sheep Numbers Past
In connection with the matter
of sheep numbers, a paragraph
from an annual extension report
of 1937 states “one of the im
portant projects carried on dur
ing the year was . the ranging of
sheep from Eastern Oregon and
Washington on the cutover lands
of Columbia county. According
to the census there were about
3,000 sheep in small farm flocks
During the summer there were
16,500 sheep brought into the
ocunty for summer ranging. The
county agent had the principle
responsibility of the detail work
in ranging the sheep such as
dividing the range into allot
ments sufficient for bands of
1,000 ewes and their lambs in
most cases, and in a few cases
two bands were run over the
same range A total of 49,886
acres were leased to 13 sheep
owners.”
At the peak of the season for
the year, Columbia County now
will have less that 4,000 head of
ewes. For the landowners in
clined to do so, a small farm
flock presently offers more po
tential than most other agri
cultural enterprizes currently
possible.
