Wheat
Growth
Retarded
WALLOWA, Ore. (Speclal)-Some-:
wnau Detter growing weather has
been experienced In this community,
during much of the past week. Dur
ing the several weeks -previous it had
remained cold the greater part of
the time and crops and gardens had
made slow growth, . Many farmers..
In commenting on their, winter wheat
crops, state that 'in early spring the
stand In most fields appeared to
be very good and gave excellent pros
pects of at least a normal crop. How
ever, with such a long spell of
weather In which the grain did not
appear to make much of a growth,
the crop lit practically ail farms here
has been held back and damaged, to
such on extent that but few are look
ing forward to more than half of a
normal yield at harvest time. In
many of the fields the wheat Is still
quite small and follow In color.
Weeds have been worse in choking
down the gralncrops on much ot the
land this . season than ever before,
while the grain was making a very
slow growth many of the weeds made
an excellent growth and manv of the
wheat .fields at' this time . iescinblej
weed patches rather than grain tirbps.
Some of the farmers In the hill ateas
expect to cut a considerable acreage
of the worst weedy-grain for' hay and
:lh some -instances cutting will 'start
during, the next week or two In
order to get the bulk of 'the weeds
before they arc top ripe and ma
nuring -seed.
Borne seeding of 'spring grain has
only recently been finished 'at sonic
of the farms here ..and 'since . the
lilliJigHTg
heifer exhibited by a member of the
Baker county 4-H club.
Donald Jopsy of Linn ton waa an
nounced here, today as the winner
of the 4-H club state news writing
contest sponsored by the Oregon
State Editorial association. The edi
torial association provides a schol
arship of the two-week club sum
mer school as the award for the
best club reporter entered In the
contest.
. 'Young Jossy. a member of the
Rock Creek Dairy club, wrote a to
tal of 193 Inches of material from
Jnnunry 15 . to May 1 as a reporter
for his club. The winner fs deter
mined on the amount of material
that is published. Its quality, neat
ness and form in which it Is sub
mitted to the papers.
Donald Is a brother of Earle Jos
sy who won the contest last yenr.
Helen Holland, reporter for the
Kellogg school, Portland, . was
awarded second -place with 129 Inches
of printed material.
The news writing contests hnve
been so popular this year that sev
eral counties aro continuing them
during the summer and will pick
their winners this fall, according to
H. C. Seymour, state club leader.

school grounds. t Meals will be Berved
in the home economics department of
tho high school. Two'glrls from the
home economics . class in Corvallls
will be In charge of this department.
A total of 125 people are expected
here for this 'event. ,
weather has become warmer much
of the spring seeding Is showing up
quite well and some of the farmers
state they expect a better yield from
tho spring seeding than from the
fall Wheat.-
The greater part of -the gardens of
the community are still quite small
yet. In some Instances much of the
early plantings were so badly killed
down with heavy frosts about two
weeks ago that much re -planting has
been necessary. Plowing of summer
fallow has progressed quite well at
many or the. larger farms In the hill
sections. J. D. Slaughter and sons,
who are tarmlng the J. H. Haun hill
ranches on Parsnip creek and In the
Leap section finished plowing more
than 300 acres of sum merf allow the
latter, part of the week. Oscar Max-,
well is also getting quite well along
with plowing a large tract at the
U. O. Coh ranch In the Leap com
munity. Reports from some of the
farms state that the soil on the
higher thin land Is becoming quite
dry at this time and in need of a
good rain in order to make it plow
up In good condition.

West Must Have
Care if Competing
In Eastern Marts
Even In the face of present low
prices, the west must maintain the
high quality of its farm products to
compete successfully in the eastern
markets, advises W. A. Lloyd, federal
supervisor of agricultural extension
work In the 11 western states, In a
letter to F. E. Balmer, Washington
extension director. High quality pro
duction and standardized grades are
! possible in the east and if accomp
1 llshed during a period of low prices,
j the distance and freight handicaps
of the west will be made even mora
I apparent when good times return,
declares Mr. Lloyd.
An editorial In the April issue of
the Michigan Parmer was cited to
show the present favorable position
of the west. "In recent years M4chi
pan producers have been losing their
markets to western business farm
ers. The low grade, unattractive,
poorly prepared products of the east
ern farm have failed to hold their
own with the more carefully grown
standardized products of the west.
Our egg. 'fruit, potato, bean and veg
etable trade has slipped away to an
extent little dreamed of two decades
ago. Can we come back? Can we
again win the hearts .of, the con
sumers at our door? That will not
be an easy task. Western produc
ers have captured the eastern con
sumer by the merit of their prod
uf is. We will regaiu tlit trade
only by the same means used to get
It from us. The longer we wait to
recover n me more ueepiy win our
competitors be Intrenched. We
should begin this year to put nil
tho quality In our products that
we can. This will mean more care
ful production and marketing. To
many It may seem foolish to talk
quality In times of depression, but
in these times buyers are choosers
and to secure their attention your
product must make Its appeal."
The west now has a good reputa
tion for quality products, continued
Mr. Lloyd. Many eastern buyers de
mand western products because of
tho assurance of quality. To main
tain these valuable markets the
farmer must follow the western ex
tension service slogan, "The West
Must Grow the Best."
