From The
County Agent's Office
By N. C Anderson
As fall seeding time draws
near, many of our farmers have
made their plans for seeding
acres diverted from wheat, A lot
of barley is being shipped in
from areas throughout Oregon
and neighboring states. Trebl,
a spring variety of barley also
seeded in the fall with fairly
good results, seems to be in
fairly good supply. This week
there will be approximately 2
thousand bushels of Flynn 37 bar
ley picked up by Morrow county
farmers from Lester Barnum,
Grass Valley. Some Utah winter
barley has been secured at this
office is negotiating for some In
southern Oregon at this time.
First report of diverted acres
to be seeded to grass comes from
Orvllle Cutsforth, Lexington
rancher. Orvllle has seeded ap
proximately 400 acres to grass
this fall. About half of this has
been seeded to crested wheat
grass, the other half to Whitmar
beardless wheat grass. It was
i upipi at the rate ol six pounus
per acre with a pound and a half
of hard fescue as an under-story
grass. This is the first large
planting of Whitmar beardless
wheatErress In Morrow county. A
few fields ranging up to 20 acres
have been seeded in the past two
or three years. Whitmar beard
less wheatgrass is a later ma
turing grass that crested wheat
and should work in well with Mr.
Cutsforth's livestock operation. It
will insure him some late June
and July pasture when crested
wheatgrass has gone dormant.
The price of Whitmar beardless
wheatgrass is down considerably
and should be considered by
ranchers who have a large acre
age of crested wheat and need
some later Dasture. The seed
can be bought as cheaply
crested wheatgrass, now.

Federal Funds To Be
Used For Farm Loans
A new allotment of federal
funds for Farm Housing loans
was announced this week by the
Farmers Home Administration
through the La Grande office,
which serves the Northeastern
section of Oregon.
Purpose of the credit is to fi-j
nance homes and farm buildings
for farm families. Veterans re
ceive preference, and the loans
bear 4 interest and are repay
able over periods up to 33 years.'
Since the demand for these,
oans far exceeds the limited!
oan funds, only farm owners
receiving all or a substantial
portion of their income from the'
sale of farm commodities may
qualify as borrowers. A loan
may be made to improve a farm'
on which the operator works off
the farm only if he or members
of his family are farming on a
sizeable scale. These loans may
not be used to construct rural
residences or other buildings for
families not generally recognized
as farmers.
Since this new type of credit
was established by Congress four
years ago, about 16,300 farm!
owners throughout the country
have used the aid to improve
their homes and buildings. Loans'
amounting to $81,416,000 nation-1
wide have been made for new,
houses, for repairing and re
modeling old houses; for new.
barns, poultry houses and other
buildings, and to improve exist-'
ing buildings. Numerous loans
also have included funds for
farmstead water systems.
SAVE-During Tum-A-Lum's
now as it stands, many of our.
ranchers are wondering what to
do to bring down the cost of pro-1
duction. Among other things,!
they are considering feed effi-
ciency of some beef animals over,
others. Many are going to select
the animals that put on more,
pounds of meat for every hun
dred pounds of feed. One of our
ranchers that is doing more than
thinking about this is Steve
Thompson, Ileppner. Mr. Thomp-
son recently purchased a,n Ore
gon State College bred Hereford
that was on feed efficiency test
at the Union Branch Experiment
station. This bull was one of the
fastest gaining bulls, ever on
feed test by the college. It put on
more than three pounds per day
comparing with the slowest gain
ing bull which gained less than
two pounds per day. This was
still higher than average gain for
Oregon. Besides having a high
rate of gain, the bull purchased
by Mr. Thompson is tops in type
and conformation.
School Bus Law
Again In Effect
As Schools Open
Renewed attention to Oregon's
school bus law will soon be in
order as schools throughout the
state re-open for another year,
Secretary of State Earl T. New
bry reminded motorists today.
The law calls for drivers ap
proaching from the front or rear
to stop when a bus is stopped to
load or unload children. If child
ren are not leaving the bus
drivers can proceed after stop
ping, Newbry cautioned.
This year, many busses will be
equipped with red flashing lights
on the front and rear as an
additional warning to motorists
that children may be in the road
and that they must remain stop
ped. Only time vehicles are not re
quired to stop when the big yel
low buses are picking up or dis
charging passengers is when ap
proaching the bus from the op
posite direction on a three-or-more
lane highwey.
A recent report from the Ore
gon Wheat Growers League
shows that Morrow county has
the highest percentage of Oregon
Wheat Growers League member
ships, compared to the number
of growers in the county. Over
seventy per cent of our wheat
growers are life members of the
league. This high membership
is a result of the successful drive
made last spring.
