New standards have been es
tablished for the growing of
certified seed wheat for 1952. The
standards now state that a var
iety will not be eligible for oer
tification if it is planted on land
which has grown an indisting
uishable variety in the previous
two years. This is necessary to
protect the variety from volunteer
varieties.
In the case of Elmar, which is
the new variety of much demand
for 1951, fall seed cannot be made
on a field in which Elgin was
harvested in 1950.
Many farmers ' have asked

The county weed sprayer is
getting to as many roads as pos
sible trying to keep control work
to complete areas and by drain
age to prevent reinfestation. If
the spray does not get to all
communities this year it will
next year. As areas are sprayed
they are marked with stakes so
regrowth can be found and
sprayed again until eradicated.
Blue stakes indicate morning
glory, red stakes Russian Knap

In the past farmers of Morrow
County have sold a good many
thousands of tons of hay off their
farms. These sales have brought
ready cash but there have been
some hidden losses. Alfalfa hay
draws heavily on soil minerals
and plant food.
At the going price of commer
cial fertilizers, it would take
more than eleven dollars to buy
back the nitrogen, phosphorus
and potash taken from the land
in the form of alfalfa hay. On
the other hand, if this ton of
alfalfa was fed on the farm
eighty percent of the plant food
would be returned to the soil.
Using the hay at home would re
duce the phosphorus and potash
loss by four-fifths, and it will
maintain or improve the nitrogen
content of the soil.
One hundred eighty-nine head

Trailers' Move' Nation's Perishables
The nation s perishable food supply it moving over the highway in
mechanically stainless steel refrigerated trailers. As a result farm
products are reaching America's tables fresher and more palatable,
food products are transported at proper temperatures. Frozen foods,
for example, have to be kept as low as 10 degrees below lero, say
J ruehauf Trailer company engineers.
Glass fiber insulation has been very helpful because it keeps the
heat out. It is also light, durable, fire and vermin proof, able to
withstand shock and vibration and has no tendency to settle, sag, pack
or disintegrate.
Dead air space is also used. Diagram herewith, shows how a com
bination of F, fiber glass, A, dead air and S, styrofoam (vapor seal)
is employed. R, designates refrigeration unit mounted on trailer.

Local Growers Visit
Canada, Report an
Wheat Marketing
can and Canadian wheat growers
would benefit by working to
gether to stabilize the internat
ional wheat market, said Don Mc
Kinnis of Summerville today,
president of the Oregon Wheat
Growers League, in a report to
the Oregon wheat commission.
McKinnis headed a group of
Oregon wheat growers which vi
sited over 100 Canadian wheat
farms and four Dominion experi
ment stations in June. The tour
was organized by the Wheat
League to compare the growing
and selling of wheat in Canada
with the Pacific Northwest. Can
ada is the Northwest's biggest
competitor.
Henry Baker, lone wheat far
mer, in his report summed up the
opinions of those making the
tour:
"We should have closer co
operation between the Oregon
League and the Canada wheat
farmer to maintain a wheat
price that is favorable to both
countries under the International
Wheat agreement."
McKinnis reported that most
Canadian farmers are happy with
the agreement and the loan pro
gram of the United States.
Another Oregon grower making
the tour Sam Cook of Helix, said
the Canadian wheat farmer can
undersell the U. S. on the market.
He said this is because of Can
ada's lower standard of living
and because Canada's economy
largely depends on its grain
trade.

Star Theater
and most of the farmers are be
hind ,it, reported Orville Cuts
forth, Lexington grower.
Primary purpose of the tour
was to find out how much it costs
to grow wheat in Canada. But ac
cording to the group it was im
possible to get an accurate esti
mate. The cost per acre would
be low but the cost per bushel
high because of the many haz
ards of insects and weather. For
example the saw fly cuts off the
wheat head before harvest Sev
ere frosts and early snows also
take a toll of wheat yields.
Oregon growers were impress
ed with unusually large and
well-equipped experiment sta
tions. The personnel seemed to
be sincere and able men.
All of the Oregon growers mak
ing the trip, McKinnis, Cook,
Baker, Cutsforth and Mr. and
Mrs. Elmer McCoy of Enterprise,
have submitted reports to the
wheat commission The commis
sion will write all the reports into
a single report which will be a
vailable to anyone on request.

It means performance so satisfying you will look forward to every

the road.
'The name Pontiac on your car means you are buying from a dealer
' who takes pride in the car he sells, the service he provides and his
place in the community.
When you can buy all those things for the very low price of a Pontiac,
-what smarter buy could you make? Come on In and we'll talk deal
