ASC Reminds Wheat G-owers O' Law hen^e The Malheur county ASC com mittee advised farmers to take new provisions of law into con. sideration in making their plant ing plans for the 1957 crop year. Public law 540 provides for the preservation of wheat acreage history. Prior to the 1957 crop year a wheat producer had to plant within 90 percent of his allotment (75 percent for the 1956 crop year) in order to maintain his acreage history. By filing a request for preser vation of acreage with the rounty ASC committee, a farmer may now underplant his allotment and the entire acreage allotment shall be considered for purposes of fu ture state, county and farm ac reage allotment, to have been planted. The Depaitment of Agriculture believes that this provision will result in a substantial reduction of wheat acreage, since many farmers in the past have planted their full allotment in order to maintain their history Requests must be filed prior to Snake River Area Tallies Disease Malheur and Wallowa were the only Snake river area counties which contributed to the most common animal disease in Oregon during November. It was hemor rhagic septicemia, commonly call ed “shipping fever.” which also was the greatest killer of Oregon livestock during that same period, says the state department of agri culture Of the over 500 shipping fever cases tallied in the state, Wallo wa county accounted for 40 Three of the Wallowa cases were fatal. Shipping fever was preval ent in Malheur county, but none of its cases for this disease were fatal. The second most frequent di sease in Oregon during Novem ber was brucellosis. The number of brucellosis reactors in the state increased in November due to a stepped-up testing program, ex plained Dr. K. J. Peterson, state veterinarian for the department. The breakdown on brucellosis reactors in Snake river area coun ties was: Baker, nine reactors; Malheur, 10 reactors; Union, five reactors, and Wallowa, two reac tors.

Cattle Chutes Reduce Bruises If you’re building a loadin chute for cattle, here are some things to conkat r Some animals that you ship probably have never been off th' ground before. They are likely U get mighty afraid of the prosper , of leaving solid ground to en ter a pickup truck, a stage truck or railroad car So, if you’re going to hand! any number of cattle without hurting them, a good, solid load ing chute or loading ramp can’t be boat. A suggestion from Assistant Livestock Marketing Specialist y'hai'*.- Alsbrooks of the Louisi- anna State University Agricultur al Extension Set vice is to build chutes strong. And build them tight enough to avoid having to prod and beat animals to get them through. The ajumals shou’ d not realize they’ve left the ground A long incline instead of a steep one is essential. Alsbrooks says that step-type chutes are proving more useful to animals than inclined ramp types Above all, built ramps and chutes sturdy enough so that animals can have confidence in them. A chute that helps prevent bruises will more than pay the cost of such equipment. Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Tobler re. turned last Monday from spend ing a week at Portland.
