From The
County Agent's Office
By N. C. 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.

nights to last Morrow County for
a year. 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.

No farmer can sell milk for home or restaurant use without
permission from the Milk Administrator.
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.

Farm safely surveys made by 4-H'ers show that matches within roach of small children
and stairways littered with toys, jars and other articlei were much in evidence as firo
and accident hazards in rural homes.
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.

for drier localities where taller

Golden and Orfed are varieties
which seem to be very localized, in

shatter badly. Orfed has pretty
well established itself in the

Golden is recognized as unsatis

Annual average yields of win
