Single Copy 10 cents. Register Before It's Too Late Just slightly more than two weeks remain in which to register to vote in the May primary. The registration books close on April 15 and if for any reason you have not registered, you'd better do it before you forget. It is surprising the neglect or lack of interest" the people of Oregon, in particular, have regard ing the right and necessity of voting. We have several hundred thousand men and women in Korea fighting to preserve our right to vote and yet more than one-third of the residents of Oregon can't work up the ambition to get their names on the registration list so they can vote for the men who are going to decide the future fate of our state and country and us! It's really a sort of silly situation, isn't it? Silly probably isn't the right word pathetic would be better. If just one regularly scheduled election were bypassed by some unsavory method, probably we would wake up to the fact that we have a genuine duty to per form at the polls. Hope we don't have to learn the hard way. Speaking of voting, no resident need say he isn't going to have anyone to vote for in the com ing primary election, for when he takes a look at the ballot he'll either wish he had taken more time to learn something about the candidates or throw his hands up in despair this ballot will probably set a record in Oregon, for length. The Republicans will have nearly 100 names on theirs and the Democrats over 50. It will take some seri ous consideration on the part of all voters to de termine what men and women will best serve their interests in the many offices to be filled. Voting is important, but right now getting registered is the first need. We have been re liably informed that there are over 600 eligible voters in Morrow county who are not on the voting lists. We don't know that that's a record, but it is definitely nothing to be proud of. Let's register today! From The County Agent's Office By N. C. Anderson word has been received that the new Oregon Livestock Brand Book has just come off the press. It contains all brands recorded through Juno 30, 1951. Each per son desiring a brand book can re ceive one by writing the Depart ment of Agriculture, Salem, Ore gon. The cost of the book is $0.00. Lots of questions are being asked about lawn care these days. Here are tips on this care. Kirs! give your lawn plenty of water. A heavy soaking once a week is far better than a light sprinkling every day. And the soil should be soaked to a depth of three or four inches. Give your lawn a shot of some commercial nitrogen fertilizer. Normally, lawns are fertilized early in the spring, (now is the time), again about June 1st, and once more , around mid-September.- Ammonium sulphate at the rate of eight or ten pounds over every one-thousand square feet is used. Put it on just before turning on the sprinkler. To keep your lawn in good 'con dition, raise the blades of your lawn mower as high as possible. A good lush growth will save the moisture, cut down on the water bill, and stay greener all summer. Get rid of broadleaf weeds with 2.4-D. mixed according to the label on the package. Let your lawn grow a week be fore applying the spray. Spray Then let it alone for another five to seven days. This gives the weed plants a chance to soak up some of the 2,4-D. And here's a 2,4-D spraying tip. Keep it off the shrubbery and flowers. That's the way to have a good lawn. Give it plenty of fertil izer, water, cut it high and kill off the braodleaf weeds with 2,4-D. Since questions are being asked about seed certification of various crops in Morrow County, it might bo well to discuss the procedure in certifying seed. The purpose of seed certifica tion in Oregon is to maintain and make available high grade seeds. Only superior varieties are eligi ble for certification. Eligible varieties may have been in use many years, or they may be new varieties produced recently by plant breeding. But whether a variety is new or old it may be lost unless it is very carefully handled through grow ing, harvesting, cleaning, and marketing. The rules of certifi cation are set up to make sure seed is properly grown and hand led. Seed is not certified until the tag is sealed on the container. Varietal purity is the most im portant point. Certified seed must be true to variety. It must also have high germination and be quite free of weeds and diseases Weeds and diseases are often spread in low grade trashy seed. Using certified seed is a good way to prevent the spread of weeds and seed carried diseases. Certification in Oregon is con ducted under Oregon law by Ore gon State College. The Agricul tural Extension Service directs and carries on the inspection work. The county extension agents are the certification auth orities in their respective coun ties. Standards for all crops certified are on file in the county exten sion office. All applications for certification should be filed here.
