would have been prepared. 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-

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.
