Page 8 Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, May 22, 1952 Field Day To Show Soil Conservation Winner's Methods Practices which won Roy For man, Antelope, the 1951 Oregon Wheat Growers league "Conser vation Farmer of the Year" award will be shown during a league sponsored field-day Monday, May '2(, starting at 10 a. m. The For man ranch is located nine miles south of Antelope in Wasco county. Forman, operator of a 4,380 acre ranch of which 1,600 acres is farm land, was honored at the wheat league's 1951 annual meet ing in Pendleton. He received po ssession of the Portland Oregon ian's rotating trophy, given an nually to the Oregon farmer who has made the greatest strides in soil conservation. Handling arrangements for the field day are Earl Meeker, Wasco county wheat league executive eommitteman, and County Ex tension Agent E. M. Nelson, both of The Dalles. The award selection committee observed last year that Forman has stopped practically all soil erosion by his farming methods. Using six dams and six miles of diversion terraces through fields, he has halted practically all wa ter runoff. The ranch includes three miles of sodded waterways to carry water from the diver sions. All stubble in his wheat farm ing operations is left on the sur face lo stop water run-off and to improve soil texture. Forman seeds fall wheat using deep fur row drills that plant rows 14 inches apart instead of the con ventional 7 inches. This seeding method has a dual purpose, according to Forman. the ridges between rows permit snow and water to collect and by deeper seeding, the grain comes in contact with soil moisture be fore the onset of fall rains.
