Page 6 Heppner Gazette Times' Thursday, September 13, 1951 From The County, Agent's Office Bv N. C. Anderson Countv fairs are completed with both the North Morrow Fair and Morrow County Fair and Rodeo a success again. Exhibits were fewer in number in some classes while livestock and poul try were about the same as last vear. It is interesting to watch the progress being made in agricul ture in the county and 'there is no better way than to watch the quality of products exmonea from vear to year. By compari son I believe all will agree that this was true of the exhibits 01 this years affairs. Livestock exhibits were per haps the most outstanding in this respect. Fat and breeding animals whether exhibited by 4-H, FFA or in open class show the results of constant selecting for better quality. The bulls exhibited were outstanding with these to go into other herds' as sires to further improve quality. Fat steers ex hibited by 4-H members showed that these boys and girls know how to balance a ration and fin ish out an animal. This was shown by the fact that of 16 fat steers, five graded prime, seven choice and four good. All but one of these top steers were picked from herds of Morrow County ranchers. With county fair out of the way, vacations over and children back to school, thoughts turn to seed ing of fall wheat for the 1952 crop. While the majority of farmers wait for rain before seeding many are now well along with seeding operations. These early sedings are mainly Elmar, Elgin and Golden varieties as they can be safely seeded in late August and early September while some of our varieties like Rex and Or fed yield better if planted later. Field demonstrations are es tablished each year by the Coun ty Agent cooperating with farm ers with the hopes of gathering some information on varieties and yields that will be of help to our farmers. This year one var iety test nursery was harvested, grown at the Frank Anderson farm Varieties, test weight and yields are given: Orfed, test wt. 61.5, yield 35.1; Rio-Rex-Cheyenne, test wt. 61.5, yield 33.4; Golden, test wt. 58.0 yield 33.2; Orfed-Turkey-Flor-ence x Elgin, test wt. 59.5 yield 33.0; Brevor, test wt. 60.0, yield, 31.9; Orfed x Hybrid 1, test wt., 60.5, yield 31.4; Blackhull x Oro, est wt. 61.0, yield 29.8; Rex, test wt. 59.0, yield 28.4; Rio, test wt. 62.0, yield, 27.8; Karkof, test wt. 59.5, yield 26.6; Elmar, test wt., 59.0, yield 25.7; Alicel x Oro P-57, test wt. 61.0, yield 25.3; Elgin, test wt., 59.5, yield 25.3; Rio-Rex x Athena, test wt. 57.5, yield 25.2; Alicel x Oro P-3, test wt. 61.0, yield 21.1. September and October are good months to spray, dip or dust sheep for controlling ticks. If the flock is cleaned up in the fall, there will be no ticks present to go to lambs next spring. It is on young lambs that ticks cause much of their damage. DDT, methoxychlor or rotonone will give good control, are safe In secticides, reasonable in price and readily available. As a dip, use 4 pounds of 50 percent wettable DDT or meth oxychlor powder or 8 ounces of 5 percent rotonone to 100 gallons September Special!

For spraying, use 8 pounds of 50 percent wettable DDT or methoxychlor powder to 100 gal lons of water. For best results when spraying, cover as much of the animal as possible. Dusting is a new method that is becoming popular in many states where sheep are grown in numbers. Oregon has done some dusting on a commercial scale and such a duster is available for commercial work here in Mor row County. It is best used after shearing for best penetration. If only a few head are to be treat ed for ticks, reasonably good re sults can be obtained by dusting with a 10 percent DDT dust. Rub the dust into the fleece thor oughly. o B. F.
