The threat of such fires continue to grow worse each day with the hot dry weather we are having. More fires will undoubtedly occur. We can be better prepared if a few suggestions are followed: Carry a back pump or a water can with sacks on the combine. Keep water barrels and sacks ready around other operations and around the barn. A plow or disk in the field is worth two dozen in the shed for controlling a harvest fire. Pull one into the field along with the combine. Don't forget that pressure sprayer which you use for cattle and grain spraying throughout the year. It may prove more pro fitable in extinguishing a fire than in other operation you Have used it on during the year. Remove dead grass and weeds from a strip at 10 feet wide a round all buildings. Several buildings have been lost from grass and grain fires this year. Firebreaks around fields are always a paying proposition. Tell your neighbors what you are doing to be prepared and that you stand ready to help them. Have neighborhood arrangements for emergencies. It is much better to have spent much time in preparation for a fire and have none than to find yourself unprepared with a fire on your farm. monium nitrate per acre, spring applied. Checks were left for comparison. With this demonstration of in creased yields with varying a mounts of nitrogen fertilizers a close check is being made on the relation of available soil mois ture to nitrogen application and yield. Soil moisture tests were made at seeding time, March, May and July, These will be cor related with yields. We should have some interesting figures for, farmers who have been watching this trial plot with interest. Wheat varietal trial plots and fertilizer demonstration plots grown in the county this year have been harvested with thresh ing and yield calculations to be made on August 15. Bundles har vested will be taken to the Sher man Branch Experiment Station at Moro on this date for harvest in equipment suitable for such plot threshing. Yields will be a vailoble for interested ranchers after August 15. In the wheat varietal plots, fifteen varieties were grown this year to compare yields, smut re sistance, height and other agro nomic characteristics. Varieties grown this year were Golden, Bevor, Elgin, Elmar, Rio, Rex M-l, Karkof, Orfed and Rio-Rex-Cheyenne, Rio-Rex-Athena, Alicel X Oro P-3, Alicel X Oro P-5711, Or-fed-Turkey-Federation X Elgin, Orfed X Jybrid 1, Blackhull X Oro Crosses. Orfed is one of the good look ing wheats in the nursery this year with a new cross Orfed X Hybrid 1 looking very promising. Another good looking new cross is Rio-Rex -Cheyenne. We will re port what they yield. The fertilizer plots, while not showing the marked differences as during the earlier growing season, showed definite yield in creases in fertilized plots compar ed to non-fertilized. Yields will be determined on the thirty-two randomized plots using eight different treatments. Treatments applied were ammonium sul phate at the rates of 100, 200, 300, and 400 pounds per acre; Ammonium nitrate 188 pounds per acre;' No Green, 143 pounds per acre, all fall applied with application of 194 pounds of am- "home owners .. USE Lloyd Howton, lone, reported this week that in comparing yields of Orfed and Rex this year, Orfed has outyielded the Rex. The test weight was 63 pounds. His average yield for the ranch was slightly over 35 bushels per acre. Orfed is showing much promise and it is interesting to note that there is Increasing seedings of that variety this year. Most of the acreage is confined to the North lone and Lexington areas. One of the characteristics of Orfed is its 'consistent-- quality of high test weight. Thousands of acres in North Morrow County have test-weigher 63 pounds per bushel in past years and it ap pears that much of it will test that this year. The Orfed grown by Lloyd Howton was from certi fied blue tag seed grown from a seed increase plot seeded by him in fall of 1948.
