Page 4 Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, August 7, 1952 From The County Agent's Office With fair time only one month away, our farm people should be giving much thought to the ex hibits they are going to make this year. In the past, grain exhibits have been few, especially when we stop to realize that grain crops, wheat of course being major, provide our main source of agricultural in come. Last years twenty-three exhibits of grain could hardly be called a representative sample of a crop that brought almost nine and one half million dollars to our farmers. Lots of work goes into the pre paration of a fair. A few people do all the work. Nothingjdeases these people any more than to see a great number of exhibits so many that there is not enough room to set them in place. (J you can do your share in contributing to the success of the fair by getting your exhibits to gether now. Start by looking through the premium list that has been sent you. You will find classes for beef and dairy cattle, sheep and wool, hogs, poultry, rabbits, horses, hay and grass, grain, fruit, vegetables, school ex hibits, booths, clothing, needle- By N. C.

If you want to bring in some of the hay and grain exhibits to have them stored till fair time leave them with L'rt Craber, core taker at the grounds. Whether you bring them in now or the day the fair starts, you will pet rmu-h satisfaction from making an ex hibit as well as knowing you have contributed in making Morrow County agriculture prosper. Re member! county fairs are one way of showing our people what we can produce on our farms. Every one is bound to go home to do as good a job in producing grain and livestock farm wives, a lit tle better cooking and sewing be fore next year's fair rolls 'round.

One such source of clean seed of the L'lmar variety is at Don Oreenup and Landall Martin ranches near Buttercrcek. This is being harvested now and can be taken right from the combine. It is from certified seed last year. National Ag Fraternity To Convene in Portland ymiyu wmvt-rimmmnmmmmmmt - - t it j 1 f 4 A ; ' ..av"-"""" X ' ...

Where research on the project in Montana has been carried for many years, commercial cattle men are seeking bulls that have been selected and tested for rapid and efficient gains. Feeder buy ers are paying premiums of $-.75 to $3.00 per hundred weight for steers from herds using such bulls, with a difference of $30 to $10 in net return per steer above another. Montana research of ficials say that if only one-fourth feed cost of one sire group over as much difference in net return could be had for that state's en tire beef output, it would mean a net increase of 1 million dollars annually. various classes from feed lot fed to grass steers and cull cows were graded on hoof then followed through to slaughter carcass. We found that even the experienced cattle grades of live cattle many times do not put a grade on that carries through to the U. S. in spectors grade of the carcass. Last week we mentioned in this column the livestock grading work scheduled at the Portland stock yards. This proved very educational and interesting. A workout for county agents con cerned with livestock marketing, grading was done on hoof and carcass.
