The Nyssa Gate City Journal, Nytia, Oregon Thursday, March 14, 1974 yeai basis We need to develop mar kets with a solid base and be able to maintain them in years ahead if agri culture in this area is to remain in a healthy state in years to come. BUYING YOUNG CALVES We have received several calls con- cerning recently purchased baby cal- ves imported Into this area from many miles away by truck The complaints are that these calves are not healthy and the loss percentage is very high In most cases these laby calves are purchased soon after birth and have no chance to build up disease resistance before being transported, The stress factor on these young cal- ves is terrific so they many tunes are sick when they arrive. Their sick- ness could tie from many things but usually ends up in scours, weakness and death, If you are going to buy young calves to raise, your best bet is to buy these liM-ally after they have been on the cow long enough to have fed on colostrum milk which fortifies them against many scour causing factors. By the time you get these transpor- ted calves it is many limes too late to effectively treat them A TIME OF CAUTION' In ttw» situation that agriculture faces today, the row cropper rnay tie affected more than other producers of agricultural products. They are gro- wing crops witti higher per acre costs w ith higher risks and high priced land Already, a good number of growers are thinking about shifting their usual acreage of row crops into other crops such as wheat, field corn and forages These crops may indeed return as much income on a net return basis, but on a long term view, these same gro- wers need to realize they have a larger stake in maintaining some present spe- cific markets The shipper or proces- sor who does not liave enough products to hold his sales position this year may be out of business in another year and he may need this outlet again in the not too distant future. I do not suggest that a grower should act as a charitable institution to keep some one else in business, but the matter of marketing in today’s trade cannot be viewed simply on a year to WHAT FORCES BREAKDOWN PESTI cides? Once pesticides are introduced into the environment, outside forces im mediately begin acting on them Pesti cide <legradation processes and pesti cide transfer processes play a part in determining the ultimate fate of the chemicals. Three specific degradation proces ses serve to break down the pesti « ides and change their chemical com position: 1 Biological decomposition - de gradation by a living organism. 2. Chemical decomposition - break down by a chemical process in the ab sence of a living organism. 3. Photodecomposition - dégrada lion by purely chemical processes in volving radiant energy (sunlight). Six transfer processes are impor tant in determining what happens to pesticide . in the environment 1 Absorption and exudation by plants and animals - pesticides can U.S.D.A.

A large numtier of the prominent citizens were pre sent to assist the council in establish ing a rate that would be just to all. After much discussion about rates es tablished by other towns under like conditions with ours, the council by unanimous vote fixed the rate at $1.00 fqr the first 1500 gallons, and 10 cents per 1000 gallons in excess of 15000 gallons up to 80,000 gallons. This puts the water within the reach of all, and we should see our town green with newly made lawns, and flowers bloom Ing in every yard, before the summer passes.
