Federation Proves Best
Federation wheat compared
with other varieties commonly
grown in Umatilla county is
nothing short of a sensation,
says Fred Bennitn,, county agent,
who this fall made checks on
yields of highest yielding vari-
eties. Federation averaged 45.4
bushels on 28 fields coverisg
2527 acres. Seven fields of Jen
kins avereged 38 bushels, fori
fields of hybrid 123 made 32
t-ushels and three checks on red
chaff showed an average of 35.3
bushels. These comparisons were
made between -adjoining fields
or between two parts of the
same field.
On 75 acres owned by McBride
Brothers in the Weston-Athena
diatrict, federation averaged 64
bushels per acre.- Seed for this
field was treated with copper
carbonate for smut control and
planted at the rate of 75 pounds
per acre about October 1. Tim
McBride believes that with a
good year federation will make
75 bushels per afcrs on their
place.
Federation was introduced into
Umatilla county by Mr. Bennion
in 1921, when he obtained from
the Moro branch experiment
station seed sufficient to plant 25
acres on the L..L. Rogers farm
near Adams. Although it was
put in rather late Mr. Rogers got
an average of 40 bushels per sere.
In 1923 six fields of federation
aggregating 200 acres averaged
56 bushels, and outyielded about
10 bushels Jenkins and red chaff
grown with it
The high yields with good smut
resistance, early maturity, stiff
ness of straw and non shattering
qualities, led Umatilla growers
to plant about 8000 acres of that
variety last fall says Mr. Bennion.
Federation is a spring variety
but has been fall sown in Uma
tilla county where conditions are
such as to bring it through the
winter without-damage. Most
Of it is grown close to the Blue
mountains in the Weston t and
Adams Districts where severe
winds are almost unknown, soil
is heavy enough to retain mois
ture well and heavy coverings of
snow generally protect the crop
from freeting. In most other
parts of eastern Oregon federa
tion must be spring planted. De

Will Help Save Forests
The Forest Service has just
written to seventeen of the lar-
nest tobacco manfacturers of the
United States requesting them to
insert warning cards in every
package of cigarettes they put
out. trautioning thj smokers to
be careful with fire in the woods,
Similar campaigns are being
undertaken by various
chambers of eommr'rcB."
state
The reason for this is that
in
studying the problem of fire
prevention, the Forest Service
has been forcibly impressed with
the hazard of forest fires caused
by thoughtless smokers. Fig
ures' compiled covering Oregon
and Washington show that 23
percent of the fires have been
caused by smokers.
The public, year by year, is
becoming more and more aggres
sive on the subject of man-caused
forest fires and should demand
the taking of whatever steps are
necessary to most thoroughly
eliminate such fires.
Inasmuch as matches and cig
arettes are responsible for a lions
portion of our annual fire loss,
match manufacturers could well
join with tobacco manufacturers
in spreading tht gospel of care
