To date, seal sale returns total $1182.55, which is about 75" of the quota. Mrs. B. C.

Portland. This week's reminder for the grain saving program is direct ed at the dairyman. First, dairy men are urged to plan for the use of more pasture and silage as a means of reducing produc tion costs and further conserving the grain supply. Other steps dairymc.i can take to save this much-needed grain are: 1. Selling the low producer while the price is good. 2. Feed grain according to in dividual production. 3. Take steps to reduce disease in the herd. William A. Schoenfeld, dean and director of agriculture at Or egon State college, will take a sabbatical leave until April 15. 1948, during which time he will make a survey of agricutural ad ministrative setups in leading land grant colleges. F. E. Price will be acting dean in his ab sence, with R. S. Besse and F. L. Ballard acting directors of ex periment station and extension service, respectively. What are Morrow county far mers doing to help keep this butterfat production up? One way to improve our dairy pro duction is replacement of old cows and low producers with Til lamook Dairy Herd association heifer calves. These calves are from cows with at least a 300 pound butterfat production. Pur chasing these calves now will provide you with good dairy cows in a short time. It does not take long for a calf to grow into a producing cow. Farmers may need the extra income these dai ry cows will produce for them within a few years. Mr. and Mrs. V. 0.

IV III 3 Farmers Reminded Practices Should Be Finished By Dec. 31 Farmers of Morrow county should not forget that all con servation practices under the 1947 agricultural conservation program must be completed by December 31, 1947. Farmers who have completed practices and who have not re ported them Ao the county agri cultural conservation association office should do so at once, says Henry Baker, chairman of the county agricultural conservation committee. Limited administrative funds will not allow for extra help to take care of a last minute rush job in the county office, Mr. Ba ker said. "The only way we can get the job done of checking com pliance and putting through ap plications for payment is for far mers to cooperate by letting us know promptly the practices they have carried out. Delay in re porting practices piles up a lot of work at the last minute that will cause a delay in sending through applications for payment and may mean several months delay in payments." The chair man urges farmers to report con servation practices as soon as they are completed. "Farmers who have not completed prac tices and who intend to do so," said the chairman "should re member that Dec. 31, 1947, is the cut off date for completing con servation practices under the 1947 program." ) Club Hews 1 Senior 4-H beef cluh memhers will hold their January meeting at the John Graves farm on Sun day afternoon, January 4. Every one is urged to attend. ... Jo Anne Graves, former club member who completed her tenth year as a 4-H member this past year, is spending her Christ mas vacation at home. Jo Anne is now attending college at Ash land. By the looks of her good report card for the first semes ter, it appears she will be as successful in college as she was in the club projects she success fully completed during the ten years. ... Duane and Ronald Baker, lone, are the latest 4-H members to purchase steers for their fat beef poject. They each purchased Hereford steers from the Harold Wright herd last Saturday. This brings the total number of steers on feed to thirty. These will be taken to the Eastern Oregon W heat league, state fair, and Pa cific International show and sales, as well as being judged at the 1948 county fair. Ronald Baker has also taken a sheep project of eight ewes that he will keep through lamb ing, selecting a pen of three to be fattened and shown at the Eastern Oregon Wheat league show next June. Ronald has a partnership agreement with Steve Thompson, who furnished the ewes for the project, to lamb and care for the ewes and fatten out the lamb crop.
