Oregon Cheddar
Makes it Better.
The photographer who first said, "Say cheese,” must have had
Oregon cheddar cheese in mind. Because just thinking about
delicious Oregon cheddar is enough to make anyone smile.
As a source of budget-wise protein, Oregon cheddar adds
tangy nutrition to family casseroles, soups and sauces.
For holiday entertaining .. . cheddar is a hostess' dream.
Then Oregon cheddar assumes gourmet versatility. Instant
hospitality is as easy as sliced Oregon cheddar, crackers and fruit.
Or you can use it in your favorite fancy party creations like
cheddar cheese log or fun fondue.
So while you’re considering menus and groceries for the
feasting season, be sure and include Oregon cheddar—the multi­
personality food. Always check the label to be sure you’re buying
the quality and goodness of real Oregon cheddar. From the
Dairy Farmers of Oregon comes a holiday wish: May you always
smile . .. and say, "Oregon cheddar cheese!”
Your ('mints Agent Sava—
Those replacement beef hei­
fers should be chosen soon,
while they still show the
effect of the milking ability of
the mother cow. This milking
ability is highly heritable In
order for that
heifer to
develop properly and
be
large enough to calve as a
two year old. she will need
special care in the way of
additional feed and a readily
available source of mineral
supplements. A little grain,
one to two pounds per day
will supply the necessary
energy feed
Steam bone
meal and trace mineralized
salt should furnish the
mineral requirements We’­

The fertilizer crunch threa­
tens to continue for at least
the next couple of years.
Here are some of the factors
that have teamed up to cause
the problem
The obvious one is the
pressure for more food that
will continue in the coming
year because of the smaller
than expected production of
food and feed grains during
1974
Another problem is that
the world wide demand for
fertilizer has exceeded sup
ply. Farmers in one country
arc bidding for fertilizers
against those of others for the
available supply
Prior to 1974 the fertilizer
industry was over producing
and low profits discouraged
expansion of facilities. Hi
gher prices arc bringing on
expansion but it takes from
IN months to J years to get
new plants into operation.
Fertilizer inventories have
been reduced to practically
zero
In effect all U.S.
fertilizer markets are being
served straight from pro
duction.
4—H SETS RECORD
It
goes without saying we're
proud of the fact that
Malheur's 4-H enrollment
record set a new high Some
1.600 boys and girls were
enrolled and this is truly an
outstanding achievement.
The 150 volunteer leaders
are to be congratulated for
this accomplishment because
the leaders as volunteers give
their time and effort in
helping voung people in their
educational experiences
It
means hundreds of mom's
and dad's —yes families—
involved—sharing
know­
ledge and skills and having
fun together
One of the moat beau­
tiful sights at holiday time
la the Christmas tree. It's
always been a family tra­
dition to select a tree,
spend time together trim­
ming It. and gathering
‘round it Christmas morn­
ing
This annual custom re­
quires the cutting of thou­
sands of trees each year,
but there are ways to com­
pensate for thia Some
communities have come
up with a solution, but it
requires cooperation and
contributions from the
townspeople
The idea Is to have an
area of land set aside for
trans|Uantlng Christmas
tNM At holiday time,
people can buy potted, live
trees After the season
ends, gitter collectively, or
individually, the live trees
are sent back to be trans
planted again for next
year
Th* trees might be sent
to the growers who raise
the trees specifically for
the Christmas season
