Office Much Interest is being shown by our farmers concerning the use of commercial fertilizers. Main interest is in application of nitrogen on wheat, especially on lands that have been or are being double cropped to even up crop and summerfallow. Nitrogen will also be used on a great am ount of the irrigated pastures, hay and new seeding on creek bottoms. Orville Cutsforth, Lexington, and Ed Rugg, Heppner, are am ong the several farmers who used nitrogen fertilizers this crop year who are very well satisfied with the results obtained. Orville is of the opinion that the wheat he us ed the nitrogen on yielded 15-20 bushels per acre above that which Braden Tractor r Equipment Co.

Mr. Rugg used some nitrogen on a new seeding of alfalfa on newly leveled land. This new seeding has become very well es tablished and yielded this year as much hay as is ordinarily tak en from such a seeding the sec ond year. Nitrogen is available more gen erally through ammonium sul fate or ammonium nitrate. The objective to keep in mind when using this commercial fertilizer is the amount of nitrogen avail able. Application should be made accordingly. Handling this ammonium sul fate locally this year is the Mor row County Grain Growers. This is a service to farmers which has not been available before and farmers are urged to get their orders in for fertilizers. Nitrogen fertilizers are very difficult to obtain and unless purchases are made now during the slack sea son there will not be enough to go aronud when the big demand comes in the spring. . . The county agent is attending Eastern Oregon Wheat league at Condon on December 2, 3 and 4. While there he will act as secre tary for the taxation and legisla tion committee. We don't like to talk about cockroaches because they aren't so nice and they are quite a nui sance. But now they are get ting rid of them an easier way. This is by use of Chlordane a relatively new chemical which is a sure-shot treatment for the troublesome roach. Chlordane comes under a var iety of trade names. It works equally well as a powder or as a spray mixed with deodorized kerosene. If you can't find any at the drug store, it is available at this office. The Hereford breeding herd at Oregon State college has been supplemented by the recent ar rival of thirteen head of young registered cattle. These cattle came from Earlscourt Farms Ltd., Lytton, B. C, and were selected by Profs. Fred F. McKenzie, Ralph Bogart and Joe B. Johnson following a long and careful search. After being subjected to a per iod of test feeding the young bulls from this group will be used on the cows in the herd at Cor- vallis and on those at the branch stations at Astoria, Burns, and Union. Offspring from each of these bulls will in turn be mea sured as to efficiency in the util ization of feed, rapidity of gain, quality of carcass, and yield of meat. This is but one of Ore gon's research programs in beef cattle improvement through breeding which is geared into the national effort in beef cattle research under the Federal Re search and Marketing act. Beef cattle at Oregon State col lege are now managed on a per formance basis that is, in addi tion to appearance, animals are retained in the. breeding herd on the basis of performance. The cattle from which these new ad ditions came are thick fleshed, deep quartered, heavy loined cat tle that feed well and show re markable uniformity in these characteristics. Ten of the present importation are sired by Atok Lionheart, a bull bred in England and import ed to Canada. The other three are by a son of Atok Lionheart. The spring of 1949 another elev en heifers and two bull calves, all sired by Atok Lionheart, are due to arrive at the college. Bogart attended a meeting of the Drs. Fre dMcKenzie and Ralph technical committee of the re search and marketing act beef cattle improvement project held in Salt Lake City, October 15 and 16. The eleven western states are cooperating with the federal gov ernment this fall in this program. All the states are interested in developing lines of cattle that are superior in efficiency or pro duction. Oregon is studying the influence of environment on ef ficiency of beef cattle. They hope to determine if strains of cattle superior In one location are gen erally superior. This study is made by breeding cows in Astor ia, Burns, and Union and Corval lis all to the same bull or bulls and testing the offspring as to efficiency of gains and produc tion.

The only bright spot is in sup; ply. There will be more furniture and house furnishings available in 1949, believes Miss Mabel Wll son, county home demonstration agent. Prices paid by farm families for furniture and furnishings i.: creased 6 per cent between June 1947 and June 1948 In contrast to the 14 per cent hike during the previous 12 months period. While prices paid by the farm families for building materials and house furnishings have continued to climb, there have been signs of tapering off in all the items. Since many of the basic raw materials such as lumber and steel that are used in the build ing trade are also used in the manufacture of furniture and house furnishings, continued hea vy demands will probably keep prices high. Available at the home demon stration agent's office is a new extension bulletin entitled, "Can ning for Home Food Preserva tion." Intended as a reference book on all common problems in home canning, the bulletin brings up to date latest findings in the field. Non-acid and low acid food, such as meat, fish, poultry anj other vegetables except tomatoes are canned safely only in a pres sure canner, say the authors. Ad vantages of preserving surplus fruit, vegetable and meat pro ducts are that it orovides a ereat- ier variety in the diet, reduces cos. of living and releases commer cially canned food products fo ot her purposes. o Guests of Mr. and Mrs. Billy Bucknum for Thanksgiving were Mrs. Bucknum's parents, Mr. and Mrs. H.
