The Hessian fly has been in
Western Oregon for more than 45
years; 4 It is present in wheat
fields every season, and serious
injury to wheat has occurred in
some localities in recent years.
Such injury is most likely in years 1

' JProper Care Is No .

For six years turkeys played a
mirjor part to registered Guern

years ago this was changed and
nof the . turkeys are the major
crop, with 40 head of Herefordsin
the jminor role. ".

300 birds was : cooling in the
shaije of sunflowers."
Sunflowers Give Shade
The Bunflowers proved one of
my sfirst turkey theories blasted.
Sunjflower seed for turkey feed
was) my idea of the plantings. In

sunflower fields is shade, Mr. Mi
chaei says. The seed simply lures
them into the shade.

Soil Factors Need
Consideration When .
Purchase Planned
Since soil is a fundamental fac
tor in successful farming,, it is es
pecially important in selecting a
farm that the I soil be examined
carefully. .Soils! vary, not; only in
fertility but in their adaptation to
different types of crops. The pro
ductive capacity of the soil that
is, the crop yield is determined
by the depth of soil and the na
ture of the subsoil, texture, drain
age, supply and type of organic
matter, " fertility or supply of
available plant food, and soil re
action (acidity)i; When one exam
ines a farm and is considering its
purchase, thes soil factors should
be given special , consideration.
