Seven of the most progressive far
mers of Morrow county with County
Agent L. A. Hunt left Heppner last
Friday morning for Sherman county
to attend the county picnic, visit the
demonstration farm there and gen-
eraly study farming conditions tn that
section.
Considerable time was spent at va
rious ranches and the fact that the
farms in that section showed good
tillage was commented upon by all.
All weeds were conspicuous by their
absence, the summerfallow being
kept in finest condition and moisture
sufficient to sprout grain could al
ways be found within three inches of
the top of the ground.
These men seemed to be of the
opinion that the soil around Moro
and Wasco would compare favorably
with that around Lexington, which
is somewhat heavier than that
around lone and some what lighter
than that near Hardman. The farm
ers In the grain section of Morrow
county, contrary to general opinion,
enjoy a slightly greater rainfall than
Sherman county which this year is
only ten inches.
The successful grain men there
follow a system of occasional deep
plowing, ranging from nine to twelve
inches. The ground Is worked with
rod or blade weeders to develop a
seed bed of loose soil but the sum
merfallow is never worked deeper
than sis inches, although some farm
ers cultivate as often as five or bIx
times during the season.
Iu that section the harrowing of
grain' In the spring is not commend
ed. The visit to the demonstration
farm was a revelaton In Itself; while
almost every one favors early spring
plowing the plots were beyond argu
merit. The two plots, side by side.
the one plowed April 1 and the other
June 1st, and each having good till
age thereafter and seeded in the same
time and manner were a picture that
every grain farmer should see. The
men all guessed on the yield and the
guesses ranged from ten to eighteen
bushels In favor of the early plowing.
Another plot which had been thor
oughly disked and not plowed until
late in May also showed up well.
Tim surface packers have gone to
the junk pile, although some men are
still using the Campbell suosuriace
packer.
There Is no doubt In tne minas oi
the farmers visited as to the best
wheat to sow: the Turkey wheats
being well In the lead, and of these
the Karkoff strain being generally
said to give the best yields.
For spring sowing upon lght land
the Early Baart is a prime favorite.
