Nyberg Wins Top I
Honors in State
Corn Competition
A young man who spent seven
years growing corn as a 4-H club
project emerged with the sweep
stakes trophy at the fourth annual
Oregon State Corn show held in Cor
vallis. Clayton Nyberg, 22, of Tualitan,
exhibited 20 ears of hybrid corn of
Wisconsin variety, which placed first
in his district, won the championship
of the hybrid class, and then went
on to take sweepstakes over all class
es. His entry had been selected from
an acre of corn which yielded 112
bushels as measured by a disinterest
ed party, although the yield did not
figure in the award won.
This year's show was probably
more widely attended than any yet
held, and the quality of corn was un
usually high, according to Oregon
State college representatives - who
staged the show and did the judging.
The show was sponsored jointly by
Oregon farm organizations, Portland
business interests, the state depart
ment of education, and Oregon State
college.
The hybrid corn growing contest,
in which yield and cost of produc
tion are considered, and in which
three acres are a minimum require
ment, was won this year by F. S.
Green of Stanfield, with a yield of
125.69 buhels per acre, produced at
a cost of only 19.5 per bushel. L. 0.
Gorman of Crabtree won in western
Oregon with a yield of 67.16 bushels
per acre, at a cost of 26.8 cents per
bushel.
C. A. Marsh of Hillsboro retained
his title in the state corn shucking
contest by shucking 211.9 pounds
net in 19 minutes. Marsh, a former
Iowa corn grower, also won the corn
growers' judging contest. In the
shucking contest shocked corn was
husked on a roped-off street.
Class champions in the five classes
of the show were: Class 1 (open)
E. G. Wiesner, Brooks; class 2 (hy
brids) Clayton Nyberg, Tualitan;
class 3 (hybrid corn production) F.
S. Green, Stanfield; class 4 (4-H
clubs) Bill Sperb, Canby, and class
5 (FFA) Jack Heinz, Molalla.
Dr. J. P. Stewart, Eye-Sight Spe
cialist of Pendleton will be at the
HEPPNER HOTEL on WEDNES
DAY, DECEMBER 4th.

AAA Elections Set for
Week of Dec. 16 to 21
The election of community com
mitteemen under the agricultural
conservation program will take place
the week of December 16-21 in this
and all other counties in Oregon,
according to word received from the
state AAA office.
Each community in the county will
elect a community chairman, a vice
chairman, one regular and two al
ternate members, and a delegate to
the county convention, at which
county committeemen will be chosen
the following week. All farmers who
participate in the AAA farm pro
gram, or who intend to participate
in 1941, are eligible to vote in the
election.
County committeemen will be on
hand to discus the program at each
of the community metings, and will
help with the elections. The com
munity committemen fill miportant
positions in the local AAA setup as
they recommend acreage allotments
and establish yields for major crop.
They also report proposed improve
ments of the farm program each year
to keep it in line with needs of co
operating farmers.

agent for exact local election dates.)
Many Elk Taken;
Cows Outnumber Bulls
Nimrods who took part in the 1940
elk hunt bagged a total of 2,273 elk,
of which 1,127 were bull elk and 1,
146 were cow elk. A total of 4,192
hunters checked in and out of the
various checking stations conducted
by the Oregon State Game commis
sion. The number of hunters who held
only bull tags totalled 2,310, those
with cow tags, 982; and the number
possessing both types of tags total
led 900.
. According to reports received by
Frank B. Wire from the checking
stations, the elk were in far better
shape than in the past. The large
increase in the bull kill was thru
out the elk area and not concen
trated in one section.
In 1939 a total number of 2,022
hunters bagged 842 bulls and 379
cows. In that year only 500 cow elk
tags were issued, but in 1940 the
commission sold 2,000 cow elk tags.

AAA Payment Checks
Ahead of Last Season
Payment of benefits under 1940
AAA program in Oregon is ahead of
last year at this time in total num
ber of applications received and ap
proved for payment, although the
total amount paid is below that of a
year ago, according to a report just
made by N. C. Donadlson, executive
officer at the state AAA headquar
ters. ' A total of 3689 applications had
been approved for payment to Nov
ember 20, amounting to $495,571.74.
A year ago only 1565 applications had
been approved, although the amount
involved was $555,780.52. Because of
the reduction in wheat and some
other payments the total cash bene
fit this year will be under those of a
year ago.
Counties which have sent in the
most applications to date are Uma
tilla,Hood River, Union, Deschutes,
Jackson, Josephine, Klamath, Mor
row, Multnomah, Tillamook, and
Wallowa.
Water Purity Tests by
OSC Show Bad Sources
Oregon State College. Only an
average of 22 percent of the samples
of water submitted to the O.S.C.
bacteriology department from all
parts of Oregon are definitely pure
and safe for drinking, reports G. V.
Copson, head of the department.
Figures show that 40 per cent of
samples submitted are definitely
bad and 38 percent are doubtful.
Members of 4-H clubs throughout
rural and suborban areas are active
in having samples sent in for testing,
says Copson. Tests are made for
purity, odor and hardness of water.
HYBRID CORN GAINS IN STATE
Approximately 12 per cent of Ore
gon field corn grown in 1940 was
from hyrid seed, reports Dr. R. E.
Fore in a new O.S.C. extension cir
cular entitled "Hybrid Corn in Ore
gon." The circular lists 13 Oregon
producers of hybrid seed for certi
fication. Dr. Fore believes that the
percentage in this state will be
doubled next year judging by the
speed with which the hybrids have
been adopted in the corn belt. This
year nine out of every 10 acres in
Iowa wa planted with hybrid seed.
Warning is given never to save seed
from a hybrid crop no matter how
good the ears are, because the var
iety "breaks up" in the second gen
eration. NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS
