Fall-Sown Federation
Trials In This County
In the Eight Mile nursery this sea
son, federation was the highest-yielding
fall-sown wheat and for the past
two years on the heavier soils in
Umatilla county, federation has
shown exceptional yields. 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.

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

cigarette itself.its tobaccos, its
blending in short, its taste.
This one thing alone its
better taste explains why
