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.
