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. His

with a JOHN DEERE Ho.5 Mower
It's easy to do a clean job of cutting with
a flexible John Deere No. 5 Mower.
The front end of the mower is carried on a
hinged hitch bar . . . the rear end floats on a
rubber-tired caster wheel. Your mower
follows the "lay of the land" . , . permits the
cutter bar to hug the ground and mow clean
in the toughest mowing conditions. With
most of the weight of the mower carried on
the caster wheel, your tractor steers easier
and you can make shorter turns for iquar
corners.
The John Deere No. 5 is safeguarded
against breakage and excessive wear. Tough,
hardened cutting parts . . . slip clutch on
the cutter bar . . . simple adjustment to take
up cutter bar lag . . . high, easy lift to clear
obstructions . . . and safety spring release
are other features John Deere owners praise
in the No. 5 Mower. See us for details.
