Page Eight SOIL WORK MAY INCLUDE LENA Ilanna Cites Value of Work at Grange Meeting; Grass and Alfalfa Mixtures Promising "The improved condition of my ranch will show better than I can tell you men the value of the work done by the soil conservation ser vice," John Hanna, Heppner ranch er, told farmers at a recent meeting at the Lena grange. The meeting was called by Ed. Hughes for the purpose of inter esting farmers in that area in re questing assistance from the soil conservation service through its local CCC camp. If sufficient inter est is shown it is probable that the service may extend its erosion con trol work project to include the area, it was stated. Jack Hvnd of Cecil and R. A. Thompson, Balm Fork rancher, with L. H. Guild of the local soil conser vation camp visited the Hanna ranch recently to examine plantings of tall meadow oatgrass with alfal fa and smooth bromegrass with al falfa. Both ranchers were enthusiastic over the possibilities of smooth bromegrass seeded with alfalfa in increasing hay production. Grass and legume mixtures are being tried on irrigated hay lands in this area, Guild stated, to check soil loss, reduce invasion of weeds, improve the quality of the hay crop and increase production. Increased hay production is vital in prolonging spring feeding and thereby automat ically reducing early spring grazing of range lands with resultant erosion damage due to destruction of the grass cover, he pointed out. Mr. and Mrs. Louis Marquardt of Lexington were visitors in this city Tuesday. Heppner Gazette Times, Heppner, Oregon mmtimimitinmmmtiHHHititHtmt Ready far Pendleton Round-Up Pendleton, Ore., Aug. 26.

At Heppner CHURCHES CHURCH OF CHRIST ALVIN KLEINFELDT. Pastor "I have found that business men, on the whole, are religious. A sur vey shows that large numbers read the Scriptures. The bigger the bus iness man, the more religious he is. Let me say right here that a larger use of the Bible by business men of today will contribute a steadying quality to business life."

This, in effect, is the invitation extended to Oregon farmers through the publication of a new OSC ex periment station bulletin just issued entitled. "Barley Production in Ure- son." Written by a group of ex periment station workers, it not only records recent experimental findings but also discttsses cultural practices for all sections of the state. With wheat seeding being strictly limited for those who wish to com ply with the 1939 AAA program, in terest in other grains for hay and feed purposes is being increased. The new bulletin points out that barley makes an excellent hay crop which, if properly handled, com pares favorably with wheat and oat hays in nutritive value and palat ability. While beardless barleys such as Union beardless and Meloy are rec ommended for hay, certain bearded types such as Hannchen and some smooth awned types make excellent quality hay if cut at the right time and handled properly, the bulletin points' out. Grown with field peas where moisture is available, barley gives a heavy yield of hay which compares favorably with clover or alfalfa in feeding value. Use of barley is also recommend ed as a nurse crop, for feed grain the most common use as green Thursday, Sept. 15, 1938 manure or cover crops and as a cash crop to be sold for malting purposes. Varieties best suited for these va rious uses and cultural practices for each are discussed in the bulle tin. Most promising new variety dis cussed in the bulletin is the new winter hardy Santiam developed at the central station at Corvallis. It has been found fully winter hardy for western Oregon conditions and has outyielded all other suitable winter varieties. Limited amounts are being distributed this fall. Total barley production in Oregon has remained fairly constant for the past 35 years, although major shifts in producing areas have occurred. ATTEND DEDICATION Vawter Parker, J. O. Turner and Wm. D. Campbell were local Masons attending dedication of the new Ma sonic hall at Condon by the grand lodge last Saturday evening. The lodge hall is in the upper story of ! the new city hall building.
