When Every Dime Counts
The greatest March of Dimes army of all time
some 1,500,000 Americans is now hard at work
Ihroughout the nation, a good number of them
are our own neighbors and friends.
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

varieties: Orfed, 2G.8; Hard Feder
ation 31, 23. 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.

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.

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,

an outstanding value in many ways: It gives
