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-

work, photography and art worK,
cookery, canning, flowers, up
holstery, antiques and articles
pertaining to Morrow County,
4-H home economics and agricul
tural exhibits and F. F. A.
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.

Ranchers who are going to need
a clean source of seed wheat for
fall planting slould be getting
this seed now.. Many times sup
plies of good seed cannot be
kept clean or unmixed with other
varieties on the farm or in the
warehouse. There are many sour
ces of good clean seed. We have
a list of the certified seed grow
ers in Oregon that can be secured
at this office.
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.

Feed efficiency testing for se
lection of faster gaining and ef
ficient feed converters, which you
have all heard so much about in
the past few years, is paying off.
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

Last week we mentioned in this
column the livestock grading
work scheduled at the Portland

It takes just three seconds to crush the fire out
cf a cigarette and half a second to break a
match. Yet, careless smokers started more
than 18,000 forest fires last year. It takes only
five minutes to put out a campfire. Yet, campers
in an average year start 3,500 forest fires.
These fires all could be prevented by a few
seconds or a few minutes extra care. This year
be sure YOU take time to be careful.
