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

had no fertilizer. This is a good
increase considering the high
yields that wheat made this year.
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.

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

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.

No Decline Seen in Furniture
or Building Prices
That new dining room suite or
sofa for the living room is going
to cost just as much in 1949 as
it does now, barring sudden
and unexpected reversals in the
price curve.
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.
