Future Good Under incentive
Program. Wool Growers Told

president of the National Wool Grow
ers Association, praised wool growers
for their overwhelming vote last year
for activation of that section of the
national wool act that set up the Ameri-
can Sheep Producers Council. He
pointed out that the industry has as
sessed itself almost 81 million to i'm
prove the marketing of wool and lamb.
Brett Gray, wool operations branch,
USDA, Washington, DC, told the
group that some optimism is justified
on future prices. He said the full story
of the transfer of the wool program
from the loan plan to the free market
will not be known until April, but he
expressed the opinion that growers
will get about Is per cent more under
the incentive program. Adequate tar
iff protection for the industry must
continue to be one of the major goals
of the wool growers, Gray said.
Other speakers at the wool growers
convention were Gov. J. Hugo Aron-
son, Wesley D'Ewart, former repre-
sentative from Montana's eastern Con-
gressional district; A. c. Grande;
Jerry Sotola. Chicago, representative of
the meat packing industry; and j. L.
Van Horn, Bozeman, Montana expert
ment station.
Darlene Whitmore, Conrad, and Irene
Bradley, Crane, were named winners
in the Junior and senior divisions of
the make It Yourself With WOOL con-
test. They were awarded expense paid
trip to Fort Worth, Tex, to enter the
national contest in January.

: Veterinary
Crankcase Oil
And Ringworn
: TeteTinavy
By ]. w. Stafford, D.V.M.

IN THE NOV. Is issue of the Mon
tana Farmer-Stockman, I discussed
briefly ringworm in calves. Several of
you wrote in suggesting various RENE
dies you have used with varying de-
grees of success. Yes, some of them
do very well at times. 1t seems on
some outbreaks one remedy will do an
excellent job, but on another it fails.
Quite often, we have to try one fungi
eide then another until we hit on the
right one. There are number of good
ones on the market
Three or four of you suggested the
use of used crankcase oil for treating
ringworm in calves. 1t is agreed that
it frequently does good job of con-
trolling ringworm. Now, l would like
to use great big "but" BUT the
use of crankcase oil is dangerous.
On March IS, 1858, this column car
ried an article telling of the discovery
of the cause of 'sX'' disease hyper
keratosis in cattle. 'sX' disease had
cost the cattle producers in the United
States millions of dollars. We told about
how substances called highly chlorin-
ated naphthalenes when applied to the
skin or fed cattle were found to be
the cause of this expensive disease.
Highly chlorinated naphthalenes have
many uses in industry. They may be
used as additives to lubricants and
crankcase oil to improve the load
carrying capacity.
1t seems to me that people who use
crankcase oils on cattle as fungicides
and insecticides are running mighty
big risk, risk that the crankcase oil
may contain chlorinated naphthalene
that can cause slow-developing, ex-
pensive disease for which there is no
satisfactory treatment-'X'' disease.

MONTANA WOOL GROWERS elect
ed Gerald Hughes, Stanford, president
at the closing session of the associa-
tion's annual convention in Great Falls.
Hughes succeeds A. C. Grande, Len
nep. Dan Fulton, Ismay, was named
vice president.
New directors elected we're Don Tav-
enner. Deer Lodge; James Mccain,
Chinook, and Henry Esp, Wyola. Other
directors Of the association are Grande,
w. A. Denecke, Bozeman; S. E. White
worth, Dillon; Howard Doggett, Town
send and Fulton. Everett Shuey. Hell
ena, was renamed secretary treasurer.
The wool growers voiced opposition
to the Pogue bill, which pertains to
the transfer of Federal lands to the
states and other political subdivisions,
and went on record as favoring the
Cooley bill and the present method of
handling Title 3 submarginal lands.
In the light of rising production costs,
declining prices and inflated land val
ues, the association approved coopera-
ton with other groups and the Montana
Fish and Game Commission towards
balancing big game numbers with exist
ing feed supplies.
Wool firms and buyers operating in
Montana were urged to cooperate with
the state association in the dues de-
duction plan. The association also
passed resolution praising the work
done at Montana State College for
betterment of the sheep industry.

Beef Production
School Dec. 5-8

CATTLE PRODUCERS and feeders
attending the first annual Beef Produc-
ton School at Montana State College
Dec to will have chance to match
their judgment of dressing percentages
and grades on class of slaughter
steers against actual killing and carcass
grading information. Featuring the first
day of the school will be the appraisal
of these slaughter steers which will
later be shown as carcaSses with their
respective dressing percentages n
carcass grades. A discussion of con-
sumner demand for beef in relation to
various carcass grades will also follow.
Other events of current interest to
practical cattlemen will be discussions
on winter feeding and management OF
breeding herds, growing out young
stock, livestock disease and sanitation
problems, range management including
poisonous plants, beef production on ir-
rigated pastures and a practice session
on grading feeder cattle.
The school is sponsored by the Animal
Industry and Range Management De-
partment at the College. assisted by the
Veterinary Research Laboratory, USDA
Agricultural Research Service and the
Extension Service A small registration
fee will be charged to cover incidental
materials furnished to those attending.
Registration will be during the fore
noon of Dec. in the new Animal In
dustry wing of the Agricultural Build
ing on the campus with the opening ses-
sion starting at pm.

Keep Cattle Contented,
Treat for Lice

THE COMMENTED cow is the best
cow and a lousy COW is far from con-
tented. Don't let cattle lice suck and
chew on your cattle-treat them in the
fall on warm days that are agreeable
to man and beast, advises T. r. Robb,
entomologist of the Wyoming Extension
Service.
Cattle lice are regarded as the most
serious single insect pest of cattle.
Significant beef and milk production
increases can be noted, Robb says,
after lice have been brought under con-
troll.

On My Farm
Day-to-Day Operations
OF a Daiyynzaas-Feeder
By ALBERT KING
I'm Really Sold On
Artificial Breeding
By ALBERT KING

I USE ARTIFICIAL breeding on my
dairy herd and am so well pleased with
the results that I think other dairy
farmers should know about the adj
vantages of this kind of a program.
The Western Montana Dairy Breed
ers Association is cooperative which
has been in operation for quite few
years and is successfully providing the
dairynen of Montana with bull service
which we individually can't afford
otherwise.
The bulls used by the Association
are selected by committee which de-
cides when a bull is offered whether
he is good enough for the Association
and If we can afford his services. A
number of bulls are in use on rental
basis and sometimes we get the use
of a good one by owning only share
in him.
All sires in use are of much higher
producing ability than the cows in the
average herd in Montana and should
show a decided Improvement in both
the amount of milk and butterfat the
daughters viii produce over that which
the cows are giving now.
I was visiting with Ray Greenhalgh
the other day. Ray, you know, is man.
ager of the Western Montana Dairy
Breeders Association at Missoula. Ray
said that the Association is breeding
around $4,000 COWS a year and that the
increased production from the daugh-
tiers of these artificialIy bred cows is
around 40 pounds of butterfat per year.
Even at the low figure of 81 per pound,
that would amount to around $4,000 I'M
creased return per year resulting from
the use of artificial breeding.
Everyone knows that there is no
meaner animal in the world than a
dairy bull and hardly a month goes
by that we don't read in the paper an
account of some trusting dairyman hav-
ing been gored by his favorite bull.
This problem is completely eliminated
when cattle are bred artificially.
AS to- the quality of the calves, there
is absolutely no question but what the
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1955-12-01

breeding characteristics found in the
high producing bulls are transmitted
to the offspring just as efficiently as
when natural breeding is practiced.
Cost Wen Repaid
The cost seems high when you first
think about paying out from So to $40
per cow for breeding service. but I
figure that in my herd where the av-
erage return from any of my cows will
far more than pay for the breeding
service. A COW will not eat any more
than a bull and I eliminate the need
for building special pens and corrals
and other equipment needed to handle
bull safely.
find that careful observance of
the herd twice day to determine if
any cows are in heat pays off. Cows
that show signs of heat in the after
noon should be bred the next morning,
and it's a simple matter to call the
inseminator, give him the information
required and then have him come to
my farm and breed the COW.
Conception rate on first service is
one question which always comes in
for lot of discussion when talking
about artificial breeding. In answer
to this question Ray Greenhalgh says
that the Associations experience in
Montana last June when $50 cows were
bred showed 7O.3 per cent first service
conception.
In northeast Pennsylvania almost
2 900 cows were serviced with 70 per
cent conception while in the state
of New York over $4,000 cows
were bred with Is per cent concep-
ton rate and these figure compare
with the average for the country of
so to 81 per cent using natural service.
The average for my herd last year was
IS per cent.
There just isn't any doubt in my
mind but what breeding dairy cattle
is sound program and one
that is here to stay. It's benefits are
many and it's drawbacks are few and
dairy farmers all over Montana should
support the Association and benefit
by taking advantage of
this opportunity.
