In reviewing some of these past ac tivities, we can say that all were quite successful One of the biggest turnouts of wheat farmers and of farmers in general, as far as that is con cerned, that we have seen out for years attended the spring meet ing of the Oregon Wheat League on the 25th at the Lexington Grange hall. Ninety-six farmers were present. Most of 1he dis cussion centered around wheat allotments and quotas and pos sibilities that might face us in the years to come. R. B. Taylor, Athena wheat grower, represent ing Secretary of Agriculture Ken son's wheat advisory committee, made an excellent report on pro gress of the thinking of this com mittee regarding the program wheat farmers can expect in the future. Kd Bell, administrator Oregon Wheat Commission, sum marized some of the problems that are facing us in feeding the world and at the same time holding our wheat production down in line with possible uses. Discussion by Mr. Taylor indicat ed that a lot of thinking is being done about a two price system or the income certificate plan, which has been discussed by the Oregon Wheat Growers League for many years. Under this plan the far mer would realize two levels of income for his wheal; that he sells for human consumption and that that is to be used for feed. The first annual range and pasture improvement tour spon sored by the Morrow County Live stock Growers Association and held on May 27 was a success. About 20 farmers took part in the field day tour. The day started out with a gathering at the Ber nard Dobeily grass legume nur sery in Hlnckhor.se. All present rated the ,'!S grasses and legumes in this nursery in tin- order in which they would select them for use on their farm. Donald Peter son, lone, was the lucky winner of a tow chain which was award ed by the Livestock Association to the farmer who had the grasses rated most accurately. A 1952 seeding of Nomad alfalfa and crested whealgrass at the Do herly ranch was observed to have made excellent growth providing much feed. At the Newt O'llarra ranch irrigated pastures were ob served as well as the stopover for noon lunch. During the noon hour, K. H. Jackman, veteran farm crop specialist from Oregon State College, discussed grasses and le gumes and their effects on range improvement and their place in the wheat allotment program. Newt O'llarra v;s presented by Kenneth Peck, chairman of the Morrow County Farm Bureau, as county winner "Grassman of the Year." Mr O.IIarra earned this title through his progressive de velopment of a poor creek bottom into one that is producing grass in almost unbelievable amounts. A stop was made during the afternoon at the Oscar Peterson ranch to see one of the grazing legume trial seedings, comparing five alfalfas seeded with crested wheat. An excellent stand of crested wheatgrass with the five alfalfas, ranger, ladak, saveha. nomad and rhizoma, were found on this slop. Monday's annual Conservation and Better Farming Practices tour brought out approximately 40 farmers that stayed by the tour during the entire day. The group traveled by bus, seeing grass alfalfa seedings, strip-cropping, dryland grass plantings, grass legume nurseries, sod waterways, irrigated pasture, dryland wind break, and stubble mulch farm ing operations. All enjoyed the free luncheon provided by the Heppner-Morrow County Cham ber of Commerce. With rain almost daily Morrow county is turning into a regular Wilamette vallew. Several have asked how to control moss on roofs which is a rather unusual occurance in this dry climate. Those of you who are troubled with this, control can be accom plished readily by spraying the roof with a ten percent solution of zinc chloride during dry weather. The moss absorbs the zinc chlo ride and is killed. By fall the dead moss can be scraped from the roof. An item of interest gleaned from the April, 1953, hunters re port indicates that Carl McDaniel, Morrow county's coyote hunter, had the highest catch for the month with 75 coyotes. Next clos est catch was by Robert Long, hunter at Jordan valley with 56 coyotes. Joe Baltrenas, who spent many years in Morrow county and is now trapper in Crook county, caught 45 for the month. Quite a little interest is being shown by Morrow county live stockmen, as well as livestock men throughout the state, in con struction of livestock back scratchers or rubbing devices for fly and mosquito control. First homemade scratcher errected, at least in recent years, has been made by Herb Ekstrom in lone. Herb's varies a little from the re- eommpnrteri tvDe. but serves the purpose well he tells us. Models that are being recommended now consist of two poles, well planted sixteen feet apart, six feet high. Four strands of used barbed wire is hung between poles to run from thp toD of each pole and hang about one foot from the ground between the poles, from each pole a guy wire ran tne other wav to about ten feet to a dead man in the ground. Wires and poles must be thorougnty wrapped with several layers of burlan, and tied on with string. These rubbing devices are treated w th one Dart 25 DDT emulsion or Methovxochlor, 25 emulsion,! to four parts of new or clean die sel or stove oil, giving a five per cent emulsion. One gallon will treat a rubbing device thorough ly. It will wet it but not oversoak it. One treatment will last one month and will take care of- from 100 tn VK heef animals. These rubbing devices should be placed near salt or mineral licks or near water tanks in pastures. This is onp of thp preatest boons to live stock operators in insect control lor some time, it costs noming to build: it takes little time to treat; and the treatment runs about 75 cents per month per one hundred head. It is worthy to note that back scratchers look promising for louse control. Bob Every, Extension Entomologist, and Harry Lindgren, Animal Hus bandry Specialist, are now in the process of writing a leaflet on this device which will be pub lished within a month. The world export supplies of wheat are well above a year ago SurjDlies in the United States Canada, Argentina and Australia for exports or carryover on May 1 were estimated at a little under 14 billion bushels. This is 81 . above the total supplies a year ago for these nations. The total export movement for these na tions so far this season is run ning about 13 less than a year ago. Exports of wheat from the United States so far this season have been running about one third less than a year ago. Ex ports from the Pacific northwest q ra rlnU'n ft hout one fourth from a year ago. There remains about ;24 million bushels of wheat to be exported to complete the quota jfor the International Wheat Agreement for the United States' Lkam Tncnprtnns however, for onaic. 11,... , ovnnrt are small. The weekly in spections during the week ending May 22 amounted to i.i minion bushels, which is the smanesi per any week since 1950. These are some of the reasons that we are now being faced with acreage allotments and marketing quotas. C. L. "Buck" Lieuallen of Pen dleton was a business visitor in Heppner Monday and was a guest of Will and David Hynd. Two Elders Are Ordained Sunday at Boardman Church By Flossie Coats The Rev.
