To get ac curate data on the possibility of this wheat in the heavier soil sections of Morrow county, the County Agent has secured a small amount of cer tified federation teed which will be planted in plots of from two to ten acres in the southern part of the county. If this variety will consist ently out-yieid our present varieties, it may compensate for the addition al risk of possible winter killing. This variety seems best adapted to the heavier soils and requires a good mow covering during periods of ex treme cold. Some of the men who have agreed to try out this variety in comparison with Hybrid 128 and Fortyfold are: R. A. Thompson, Andy Rood, Jr., Jeff Jones, Roy Campbell, Floyd Adams, Lawrence Redding, Wightman Broth ers, and Howard Anderson. tion. This ttatement of the situation waa made August 22 by lr. John R. Mohler, chief of the Bureau of Ani mal Industry, following a trip of In spection through the portions of Cal ifornia visited by the livestock plague. FOOT AND MOUTH INFECTION IN CALIFORNIA REDUCED. The County Agent has recently re ceived a set of 22 pictures showing in detail the methods used in controlling the 1924 outbreak of foot and mouth disease in California. A number of these pictures show close-up viewa of Infected animals. Anyone who wishes to do so, may look these pictures over in the County Agent's office. A re cent report by Federal Veterinarians in charge in California follows: "Of the 16 counties involved in the California outbreak of the foot-and-mouth disease, 14 are now considered entirely free from infection, another it probably free, and the final one Tuolumne still contains a small but baffling center of suspected infec- Wheat Nurseries to Be Continued. At least Jwo wheat nurseries will be planted in Morrow County by the Experiment Station and the County Agent this Fall. One of them has been located on the Cecil Warner farm, along the market road north east of Lexington, and another will be located in the Eight Mile com munity and there ia a possibility that one will be put out in the extreme northern part of the wheat belt. Tentative plans call for the planting of 39 varieties of winter wheat, and 8 of winter barleys. The winter wheats will include a number of the new hybrids being developed at the Moro station. Some of these are se lections made by crossing hybrid 128 and fortyfold, and federation and fortyfold. APPOINT IDAHO INSPECTORS. Dr. H. W. Lytle, State Veterinarian, who has just returned from a confer ence of livestock officials in Des Moines, Iowa, reports that satisfac tory arrangements, for the most part, were made at the Des Moines confer ence whereby Oregon lambs from the southern part of the State will be per mitted to enter the principal markets of Kansas City, Omaha and Denver in rpite of the fact that these lambs in I order to be properly transported must I cross sections of California. That ' pait of California, however, which i they will be required to cross is not I i i i a . -1 ana hub never ocen in any wm alien ed by the Foot and Mouth disease. Dr. Lytle announcea the appoint ment of the following sheepmen and veterinarians who are eligible for in spection of shipments of sheep in tended for Idaho points: For Pendleton, Heppner, Echo, and points west of Pendleton, T. F. Boy len and Dr. C. W. Lassen. For Pilot Rock, Donald Cameron For Condon, Dr. L. L. Taylor. For Bend, Dr. G. W. Winslow. For Wallowa, E. F. Johnson. For Baker, Dr. C. H. Coiton. For Ontario, Dr A. G. Moore, W. W. Hinton. It will be necessary for growers who intend to ship sheep to Idaho to first secure a clearance record from Dr. J. C. Exline, Federal Inspector, Olympia, Wash.; to secure this all that is necessary is to write or wire Dr. Exline the name of the grower whose sheep are to be shipped and their previous location for six months back and the number desired to ship. He will issue a federal certificate which is to be attached by the grow er to the bill of lading with the cer tificate to be issued by the above named inspectors appointed by Dr. Lytle. On acocunt of general feed condi tions in Idaho it is expected there will not be as heavy shipments this year as for the paat few yeara to that stata. However, any who contemplate making Idaho ahipmenta will do well to adviea their nearest inspector, alto Dr. Exline, at an early data in order that there xoay be no hitch when the shipping time arrives. U. 8. TRADE IN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS, YEAR ENDING JUNE M. During the year ending June 80. 1924, agricultural exports wera valued at 11.867,000.000 an increase ot 808, 000,000, or 8.8 percent over 1922-23. However, exporta of agricultural pro ducts were less in proportion to total exporta than during the two previous years and, with the exepetion of 1920 21 and several of the war years, less than at any time since 1909-10. Dur ing 1923-24, 44 per cent of our total exporta were products of agriculture (exclusive of forest products), which wsa 2 per cent less than a year ago and 8 per cent less than in 1921-22. Cuttun made up 48 per cent of our total exports and grains 13 per cent as compared with 35 per cent and 24 per cent, respectively, In J9?2 23. For both these years, exports of meats were approximately 16 per cent of the total. A little more than half aa much grain was shipped abroad during the year ending June 80, 1924, as during tho preceeding year, and foreign countries also purchased lest live stock, pork beef, sugar, vegetable oilt and oil cake. However, the decline in these products was more than off set by larger exports of higher-priced cotton and increased shipments of lard, tobacco, condensed milk, fresh and dried fruits and vegetables. - Cotton exports show an increase of 1245,000,000, or 37 per cent over 1922-23; condensed, evaporated and powdered milk $7,000,000, or 41 per cent; lard $12,000,000, or approximate ly 10 per cent; dried fruits $2,600,000. or 11 per cent; fresh fruits $16,000 000, or a little over 67 per cent; to bacco $21,000,000, or 14 per cent; and vegetables $2,500,000, or 15 per cent. For milk, lard cotton, and boxed apples, increase in value was much greater than the increase in quantity, showing higher price levels for these products. The reverse is true for most of the other commodities. Due to increased exporta of soft woods, consisting largely of Douglas fir, exporta of forest producta in 1924 exceeded those for the proceed ing year by $33,000,000, or 26 per cent. HAY CROP REPORT. (From United States Department of Agriculture, Sept. 1, 1924.) The tame hay crop for the state as a whole is probably about 75 per cent of normal. In some sections there is a full crop of alfalfa, but in oth ers the crop is sufficiently short to bring the average to about 75 per cent of normal. Clover and other tame hay was short as a result of dry weather, there being practically no second growth, and not a full growth of the first cutting. The grain hay yield was very light, but an increas ed average will bring the total pro duction to 76 to 80 per cent of nor mal. Wild hay will probably not exceed 40 per cent of a normal crop. Paul Whitcman and hit famous Concert Orchestra r Leadership is not luck. Such popularity must be deserved V TO convert critics into en thusiasts, whether for a new school of music or for a cigarette, requires something more than luck. There's sound reason for every big swing in popular taste. So, to account for Chester field's swift rise, look to the cigarette itself.its tobaccos, its blending in short, its taste. This one thing alone its better taste explains why over 1000 men a day are changing from other ciga rettes to Chesterfield. Chesterfield CIGARETTES Lioobtt & Myrks Tobacco Co.
