During the past year infantile paralysis at tacked us with the worst force ever recorded. It was more widespread and it touched all parts of the country. The outbreaks began early and dwindled late. The grimness of the polio situa tion this year is reflected in the more than 5o,000, cases during 1952, in the fact that more iron lungs were supplied than in any previous three years combined and in the unpaid bills, estimated at $7,000,000. Morrow county was not immune to the dread disease, and though the number of cases here were far from what could be called an epidemic, our local chapter still spent nearly 50 percent more for aid (luring the year than it received from last year's March of Dimes drive. In other words even on our own small scale, we went in the hole helping to care for our own polio patients. Had it not been for a carryover fund from the previous year, this chapter would have had to call for aid from the National Foundation as did our next door neighbors in Umatilla county who fought the disease on nearly epidemic proportions. It is of course to be hoped that Ihis year, and all the following ones will be light years for polio, but no one can tell. That's what makes our contributions to the March of Dimes doubly necessary this year, for even though we were fortunate to have had a little reserve fund, no fund is large enough to go in the hole 50 percent for very long. All residents have received their mailed re quest for their March of Dimes contribution,, if you haven't yet returned it, do it today and add an extra dime or dollar. Polio is our fight it belongs to every one of us. This is one time we can't let our neighbor do our part for us. A TIMELY REMINDER From The County Agent's Office As time draws nearer to spring seeding many farmers are ask ing questions about what wheat variety to seed and when to plant. Many are asking assist ance in finding a source of seed wheat that they may be assured of adequate seed for whatever acreage riiay have to be seeded. Many that had waited for fall rains to no avail are now seed ing with fall wheat varieties. Or fed, a variety adapted to both fall and early spring seeding, is being seeded on many acres this month. More of it may need to be seed ed if varieties of spring wheat actually turn out to be as scarce By N. C. Anderson as it appears now. There are ade quate sources of Orfed available locally. It is rather late matur ing for spring variety and must be seeded early. Federation, Idaed, and Hard Federation 31 are the other re commended spring wheat varie ties. Idaed, while not grown here in the past, is highly recom mended. It has excellent mill ing and flour qualities and Is pre ferred by the milling and baking industries. Experiments at the Sherman Branch Experiment . Station at Moro have resulted in the follow ing average yields of these spring AT WILSON'S hi!

G; Federation. 25.3; and Idaed, 25.0 bushels. All are so close in yields that one could not be picked as exceptional, at least under conditions there. Inquiries made at several seed companies that generally handle large quantities of spring wheat indicate that there could be a short supply. Freezing weather between now and spring might endanger some seedings which would necessitate a larger supply than now anticipated. For those who might be inter ested in a smut resistant spring barley, large quantities of beard less Bclford barley are available. '90 .(Is? A PI Mm mfW Rats become a problem on many farms about this time of year, multiplying until tney al most take over complete control. It has been said that one rat eats about 150 pounds of grain per year. If this is the case, it costs you as much to keep 10 rats as to keep 17 laying hens. Those 17 layers could produce 200 eggs each (less than the Oregon aver ace) at 48 cents per dozen, which I would bring you $110.00. For $1.50 'you can poison those rats. Then jyou can feed the grain to your 'hens and collect the difference of ! $115.50. J This neat profit is not all. Dur ing the time these rats are eating I this grain, they are contaminat ing many hundreds of pounds. I With the 'Food and Drug Admin iislration becoming more con cerned with this contamination of human food we will find much grain being declared unfit for consumption, with it being sold for livestock feed only. This will reduce the price several cents per bushel, which too must be con sidered as loss from rats. The Fish and Wildlife Service suggests the following rat bait mix: 0'a pounds corn meal. 9'i pounds oat meal, and 1 pound warfarin. Mix together dry, then mix in one pint of light mineral oil or fish oil. Place this in dark rat runs in outhuildings in '2 to 1 pound amounts.

Anonymous office for the cost of printing and handling. Many of our livestockmen are feeding molasses this winter and with the low price of it at the present time many more could well give attention to its use. Molasses is about 80 percent as valuable as corn or barley and can be used in the ration, pro vided attention is given to a pro per balance. Molasses can be used to ad vantage in increasing the plata bility of low grade roughage. It can be mixed with water and sprinkled on the feed mixture; one part molasses to one to two parts water. This can be sprink led on the hay in ribbons even in cold weather. Molasses is most valuable for cattle and sheep although it can be used to a. certain extent in hog feed. It is selling for about one-third the price of grain which makes it very desirable that livestock operators consider under present high feed costs, Bible School at 9:45 a. m.; Wor ship service 11:00 a. m.; Bible Study 7:30 p. m.
