! Tuesday afternoon. Fifteen, eight
I by litty loot plots are repeated
four times with applications of
i five rates of nitrogen alone and
with phosphorous and sulfur and
phosphorous and sulfur alone.
Sixteen plots will be fertilized
with nitrogen in the spring. Plots
will be put on at the Kenneth
Bat;y ranch at Hardman and the
Frank Anderson ranch near Eight
mile on Wednesday, at the Ray
mond Lundell ranch and L. L.
Howton ranch, lone, on Thursday.
Plots will be put out at the Ralph
Crum, Nelson Bros, and Glenn
Campbell ranches as soon as pos
sible. A sight is still to be se
lected in Sandhollow or Black
horse. Ranchers in those areas
who would like to cooperate with
the program should leave word at
the county agent's office.
Mr. and Mrs. Bradley Fancher
and children left Friday, Septem
ber 18 for a weeks vacation at
Cannon Beach.
For those who are asking about
premiums for exhibits made at
the Morrow County Fair and
Rodeo, we will have to ask that
all be patient. We are summar
izing exhibits and premiums won
as fast as possible so that checks
can be written soon. We hope to
get them sent out to everyone
within the next couple of weeks.
John Proud foot, North lone
rancher,, was the first to volun-'
tarily offer to assist in the rabbit
control program which plans are
being laid for now. Mr. Proud
fot will furnish labor for apply

concerning this program appear

Morrow county Hereford breed
ers came back from the Baker
sale with more than their share
of the honors there. Frank An
derson showed the Grand Cham
pion Bull, a nineteen month old
bull from Royal Domino 190th
which was purchased at the Na
tional Western Livestock Show
in Denver in 1949. A grandson of
Royal Domina's sire by Royal A,
siooa urst in its class, and a
Regent bred bull, second. In the
class with the Grand Champion,
Allen Hughes, Heppner, stood
second; Bernard Doherty, Lexing
ton, third; and Herbert Ekstr6m,
lone, fourth. Everett Harshman
consigned a bull that stood first
in its class. Of 88 bulls con
signed to the sale, ten were sifted
out because they did not grade 2
or better. Of the 78 bulls that
sold through the sale, 17 carried
a 2 plus grade. At least six of
these 2 plus bulls were consigned
by Morrow county breeders. It
appears that our livestockmen
are right in there in quality for
the competition at the Baker sale
has been keen. It is one of the
top sales in the state as far as
quality bulls consigned. Several
of these breeders have bulls con
signed to the annual Mid-Co.
Hereford Association sale, which
will be held at Moro on October
25 and 26. There are bulls from
at least two of our breeders be
ing consigned to the first Polled
sale to be held at Pendleton in
October. On November 20-21
several bulls will be consigned
from here to the Grant County
Bull Sale at John Day. Congratu
lations to our Morrow county
breeders for their quality plac-ings.
Many farmers are talking weed
control by sodium chlorate this
fall. Some of our farmers have
tired of attempting to control
noxious weeds with 2,4-D and
have decided that they will go to
chlorate for a complete kill,
which at the same time, of course
will sterilize the soil and make
it unfit for production for several
years. Farmers that have quite
an acreage of such weeds are
planning to use some of this land
as their diverted acres. However,
the use of sodium chlorate is not
recommended on a widespread
acreage due t0 its high cost
Small patches of perennial weeds
lend themselves to control bv
chlorates very well. The cost of
applying sodium chlorate on
small areas is small and manv
times more effective than 2 4b
in that one application will' do
the job. Now is the time to an
ply chlorates. They can be put
out within the next six weeks
Four to six pounds of chlorate per
square rod will control all 0f the
perennial weeds which we have
