M tfc 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.

"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 ” Richardsons At State Fair BIRKENFELD—Mr. and Mrs George Richardson and Joe went to the State Fair Saturday.

I*:*:*:»;*:*:*»»:«*;»»:*:*»:« 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.
