From The CountyAgenfc's Office By N. C. Anderson Reports from Oregon hog rais crs on breeding intentions in the spring of 1953, indicate 13,000 sows to farrow, 8,000 head below a year ago, and the smallest num ber for spring litters of record. Intentions of Oregon hog rais ers are in line with national pic ture with predictions of a de crease of 13 percent from last year of sows farrowing and down 17 percent below the 10-year average. Even with hog numbers down it might be well to study feed and other costs before jumping into the hog business. Thirfv. seven heifers, forty bulls are consigned to the third annual sale of the Oregon Polled Here ford Association, which will be belli .-if the Orecon State Fair grounds on March 1 and 2. The show will bo held March 1, the sale on March 2. Cnnsicrners from Morrow County are Kirk and Robinson, and Floyd Worden, Heppner. Farmers attending the annual moetiiKT (,f the Ilennner Sou Con terv.-ition District. Monday, heard ndiscusslon on grasses and le adapted to various soil and climatic conditions here. The meotinu was held at the Lex iiu'ton Granee hall. While at tendance was low, interest was high. Dick Adlard, nursery agrono mist, Soil Conservation Service, Pullman, Washington, pointed out to those present that while many grasses and legumes ap pear to be a panacea to all ills, each having their place, fitting into various soil types and cli matic conditions. Where one species may do well in a com munity it "may be entirely un stated in another community, due to soils, elevation or moisture conditions. Tall wheatgrass, for instance, while tolerable to heavy alkali salts, appearing to pro duce much, can be unsuited for rl nt t nerd where alkali is not a problem, and can be outproduced by a grass sucli as orcnara gius.-.

MOBILE SOIL TESTING LAB CALLED UNIQUE NEW NORTHWEST SERVICE WALLA WALLA Pictured , It is an equally useful tool in son erosion control. "While agricultural experiment stations are scattered throughout the principal agricultural regions of the West, it is impossible for them to conduct experiments un der the exact conditions and the tvpes of soil individual farmers have on their land. This mobile soil testing laboratory can bring both general and specific infor mation to individual farm for greater production. Furthermore, jt , will introduce effiencies by having a trained specialist, ngm on the spot,, who can intensify his efforts and make his know ledge available throughout the major farming areas of the Northwest. "The Knettle Farm Manage ment Service is proud to have Warren G. Marshall as its head agronomist and the man who will, through this mobile labora tory, put his exceptional training and field experience to work on a scale so far unprecedented in this part of the country. Mr. Knettle explained that the rolling laboratory is twenty-five feet long, and has both electric and propane heat for processing soil samples. Equipment in cludes a 6-foot soil sampling tube, air tight containers, and a bal ance for weighing samples before and after drying for soil moisture determination. A photoelectric colorimeter is used in determin ing the available nitrogen in the soil. Additional equipment in cludes a glass electrode pll meter for use in measuring the relative acidity and alkalinity of soil samples.
