Anderson Th is week's column is being written from Buffalo, South Da kota, We've covered a lot of miles during 1 ho week and are glad that we will soon be able to stop for a few days to visit. Today we get into the two coun ty's where I spent several years as County Agent and want to spend some time visiting friends.

It started raining in Yellowstone Thursday night rained all through Wyoming and South Dakota and it is still rain inir this morning as we leave South Dakota. It appears that is doing no good this late as th( dry spring continued too long for the rains to benefit the crop Yesterday there were many grain fields being pastured as they were no good for harvest. We're still looking for anything as good as the crops in Morrow County. We haven't seen a good field of wheat since leaving. Continuing with results re vealed at the Field Day at Moro the week before last, it is timely to discuss wheat varieties this week. We hope that this infor mation will be helpful to you in deciding' the variety you want to seed this fall. At the Station, new varieties are developed and first tested in the cereal nursery. Later the promis ing varieties are tested in field plots before being released as recommended varieties. In de veloping new varieties particular attention is paid to disease re sislance, stiffness of straw, shat ter resistance, and for winter va rieties, wiriterhardiness. The final criterion, which is the sum of all other riialities, Is the new va riely's yield as compared to es tablished varieties.

Milk Control decides how much milk will be available for your use. It picks out whichif either-of two neighboring farmers can sell their milk even though both may be equally able to produce wholesome Grade A milk. If Milk Control permits cither of them to produce such milk, it then tells each farmer how much lie may provide for your use. This powerful, single control over Oregon's milk supply is called the "quota system." If a farmer's cows forget this, get out of line and produce more than the quota picked for him, he must take w hatever price he 'can get some other way such as selling it at much lower prices for cheese, powdered milk, and the like. Not Oregon's producers, but the State, decides exactly who will produce the milk for our needs and how much each farmer can produce. Such limitations frequently have made it necessary to depend upon the uncontrolled Washington market for enough milk, instead of our ow n Oregon farmers.

Chicago (Special) More than 575,000 4-H Club boys and girls throughout the nation are receiv ing training in farm accident and fire prevention this year. The out standing feature of this training in the National 4-H Farm and Home Safety program ia to check and remove from farms and homes any conditions likely to cause fire, accidents or injuries. These 4-H surveys are acclaimed a valuable contribution to 'the nation-wide campaign to reduce the annual toll of 15,000 farm people dying and 1,300,000 being injured as a result of rural ac cidents each year. Here is a report, made by a 4-H girl on behalf of her local club, after making a safety survey of every home in the community: "In all homes having stairways that we visited, the stairs were full of toys, jars, tools and other articles," she stated. "In many homes people used kerosene to build fires. They also had oily cloths and papers stored close to the stove and flue. Matches and unlabeled bottles of poisonous liquids were within reach of small children. "On several farms visited, boards with rusty nails pointing upward were much in evidence. In our local schoolhouse, the ceiling plaster in the classroom was loose. If it fell it would cause severe in juries to the pupils. "After we had made our survey, we called a community meeting. Attention was called to the haz ards we had found. Immediately following the meeting everyone present began work necessary to make our community a safe one. Every hazard we had found was corrected." Medals of honor are presented to five county winners having the best 4-H records in safety work, and a trip to the National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago is awarded to the State champion. Eight of the latter will be selected as national winners, who will each receive a $300 college scholarship. Awards are provided by General Motors for the eighth consecutive year. The program is conducted under the direction of the Co operative Extension Service. varieties. It hits bivn responsible fnr I tin rnlpMyp nf rn:mv varieties.

Elgin is being replaced by Eltnar, but it is recognized as a good variety whore smut has not been too great a problem. Brevar will replace Rex as seed becomes available, and is recommended for drier localities where taller straw ' lhan Elmar is desired. Golden and Orfed are varieties which seem to be very localized, in adaption. Golden is not too popu lar with farmers in Morrow Coun ty due to its characteristic to shatter badly. Orfed has pretty well established itself in the North lone area, some to the south of lone and more to the far north near the bombing range running to Butter creek. While Golden is recognized as unsatis factory in smut resistance, shat tering, and lodging, it is the high est yielder in southern Morrow County. Orfed is a variety which can be sown either in the fall or spring and is advantageous where late fall seeding or ea,rly DISH WASHER sgSg What gives Olympia rare flavor? Centuries of brewing experi ence have shown that certain waters have a more solvent quality than others to extract rare and desirable flavors from the hops and grains, aod im part them to the beer.

Annual average yields of win ter wheat varieties at Moro, using the last five years average, show that Elmar is the ton vielder with 35.

Federation's low yield is contributed to winter kills in 1949 and 1951.
