or surface irrigation and sprinkler
irrigation on a variety of crops
on twenty-four farms. Surface
irrigation required 2.8 man hours
for all crops and 3,4 man hours
for pasture, compared to 3.6 and
6.2 man hours respectively for
sprinkler irrigation. The water
use was practically the same for
each method. With 3.85 acre feet
per surface and 3.59 acre feet for
sprinkler per acre. Power costs
for sprinklers were $5.62 per acre.
The comparative annual opera
ting cost was: surface, $5.99,
sprinkler $11.01 per acre. With
the Increased interest in Morrow
county in sprinkler irrigation
compared to flood irrigation, this
data should be of value to all.
Several farmers have become
excited over a recent news article
in the Oregon Farmer. The item
dealt with the smut problem In
the Pacific Northwest and made
mention of the wheat variety
Wasatch. Several have asked
about the variety and whether It
is available.
Wasatch is a variety developed
at the Utah Agricultural Experi
ment station and is a cross be
tween Relief and Didlt. It is used
in Southern Idaho and Northern
Utah, mainly because of its re
sistance to dwarf smut. If we
were threatened with an epidemic
of dwarf smut in this area, it
would be recommended, but since
this is not the case, Rio is a

be well to keep in mind that with
the tightening of beef cattle
prices our ranchers are going to
buy only the best quality bulls
for the least money. This calls
for castrating any that do not
show promise of getting in to
a two or a higher grade.
Many range associations In
eastern Oregon are becoming
more particular about quality of
the animals on their range allot

Merrill Oveson, Superintendent
of the Pendleton Branch Experi
ment station, advises that if far
mers still want seed of Wasatch
that the only location for finding
good reliable seed would be from
the Southern Idaho area. He
advised that since that area is
badly infected with dwarf smut,
there would be a great possibility
of carrying it in with the import
of seed from that area, which he
would recommend be avoided.

Many Morrow county ranchers
have been inquiring about Aus
trian peas as a cattle feed, since
they are selling at such a low
price now. A great quantity of
Austrian winter peas under CC'C
oan have recently been pur
chased, and are being offered for
sale to individuals. There are
several reasons why Austrian
winter peas are a good buy. First,
they contain at least 20'c digest
ible proteins and the total digest
ible nutrients is valued at HOT! .
In feeding value, 100 pounls of
peas will replace 40 pounds
been added incentive to save only
the best in breeding animals, and
thereby improve the average
quality of the herd.
Much publicity has been put
out of late concerning home-made
self treating devices for horn fly
control. The college has just is
sued such a bulletin entitled the
same. They are simple to build
and easy to maintain. If you
wish to have a copy, which gives
the instructions for building one
we have them at the county
agent's office.
With a big drive anticipated
during National Farm Safety
Week, all of our farmers and
ranchers should become consci
ous of the need for safety on the
farm. President Eisenhower has
proclaimed July 19 to 25 as the
week to ask every one to band
together in a drive to reduce
needless deaths and injury to
farm people.
As harvesting equipment is
to the field it would be well to
check all types of drives to see
of ! that they are covered with safety
of: devices where ever there is any
danger of constant contact by the
operator. It is well to keep in

Tempting cooling drinks are a natural part of the hot weather pic
ture. A tall refresher is the first thing the hostess thinks of when a
neighbor drops in for a chat or when invited guests arrive. Its the per
fect aid to relaxation when you sit down for a restful hour after house
hold tasks or a round of sports.
To meet the demands and suit every taste, it is well to have a variety
'of bottled drinks cooled in the refrigerator. Pale dry ginger ale and
sparkling water, refreshing by themselves and blending well with fruit
juices for drinks to please the individual taste should be on hand.
For those who like a dry drink- with a slightly bitter taste, haunting
and pleasant, you might include Quinac (quinine water). There is
something especially cooling about a glass of well-iced quinine water,
and that is not surprising for the drink originated in the tropics where
intense heat necessitates a beverage that really cools the blood. It is
fast becoming a popular summer cooler in our country,

While we are discussing home
lawn and planting problems, it
might be well to discuss some of
the lawn or turf diseases that are
troublesome here. One that I
have been noticing lately is
brown patch or summer blight.
Others are pink snow mold, pink
patch, mushroom fairy rings and
various slime molds. Many of
these come earlier in the season,
the summer blight being the
troublesome one now. All of
these diseases are most readily
controlled by the application of
organic and non-organic mercury
compounds available in the
cheapest most practical forms at
seed and drug stores under vari
ous trade names.
Calomel (Mercurous Chloride)
and corrosive sublimate (Mercu
ric Chloride) are the two most
widely used non-organic mercury
compounds. They can be pur
chased at drug stores. Proprietory
compounds for lawn disease con
trol should be applied according
to the directions on the packages.
The corrosive sublimate, Calomel
mixture, is applied at the rate of
one ounce of each material in
ten gallons of water to cover 500
square feet of lawn. This can be
applied evenly with a garden
sprayer or sprinkling can. Cor
rosive sublimate disolves readily
in warm water. Calomel does
not disolve in water so the spray
solution should be stirred fre-
