Now is the time while roses are dormant as they ever get in this climate to apply a thorough application of lime sulphur. Prior to this application, the rose grower should have pruned out all spindly and old cankered wood. Growers should also have removed old blooms and do a thorough job of raking up the dead leaves and debris on the ground around the rose gar den. In such trash, many rose diseases are harbored for poten tial infection next spring. Fol lowing this sanitation program, the spray recommendation is lime sulphur at the rate of one pint in one gallon of water. The final pruning and shaping of roses should be completed about the end of February. It will be held at the Lexington Grange hall beginning at 9 30 a. m.

Those attending the meeting found that there were ten million bushels more grain now on hand than a year ago, which was brought about by a two and a half million bushel overproduction of wheat in 1953 over 1952, coupled with lower shipments and less use. Several ideas were advanced at the meeting and suggestions made for relieving the situation. One that received a lot of discus sion was the possibility for feed ing out as much grain as pos sible this fall. Of course, it will need to be stored, but since the storage problem will evidently be continued in 1955, feeding will help to reliqye that situation. Since the livestock feeder needs cheaper grain and the hay man needs a market, some wondered Final arrangements have been why the livestock man, the hay made for the executive committee j man and the grain man could not meetinc of the Oregon Wheat IK01 "Winer and worn oui a so Growers League for February 12 slon soil conservation specialist, Oregon State College, will discuss "Fertilizers for our Crops"; some one from the Oregon Wheat Com. mission will explain that program Rex Warren, Farm Crop Special ist, will outline weed recommen dations.

Frank Anderson added a bull to his herd, with the purchase of a short yearling Fulscher bred calf. While we have not seen the calf, it was just what Frank wanted and knowing that he is particu lar, the calf must be a good one. Frank was particularly choosey in selecting his bull as he want ed one with a dwarf free pedi gree. Herbert Ekstrom, lone, also purchased a short yearling bull of Mischief breeding.

These were mailed to everyone on our farm mailing list. If you didn't get a copy, we may have otie for you in the office. The outlook pointed out that grain and hay growers will he the hardest hit in 1951.

A letter is in the mail to all Morrow county farmers calling their attention to the winter cer eal meeting that is being held at the county court room in Hepp ner on Wednesday, February 10. This is a change from an earlier announcement that it would be held on February 9. The change is made due to a conflict with the annual meeting of the Lexington Oil Coop. The winter cereal meeting should lie of interest to all of our farmers. It will begin at 10:00 a. m. with the showing of a film on wheat smut. Featured during the day are speakers, including: Hill Hall, superintendent of the Sherman branch experiment sta tion at Moro, who will have as his subject "What's New in Crops"; Howard Cushamn, exten- The grain storage meeting which we mentioned last week, held at The Dalles on January 29. was well participated in and many interesting figures were re vealed that made everyone at tending more conscious of the need for encouraging additional storage to be built. The meeting was called by Oregon State Col lege Extension Service at the re quest of the Oregon Wheat Grow ers League to work out a program that would encourage more stor age before harvest time. After everything was said and done, it turned out that farmers must provine auunional storage to take care of two-thirds of this years crop that will otherwise he left without a roof over it. It was also pointed out that while much has been said of late about the moth ball ships in storage at Tongue Point being made avail able, there are still many de tails to be worked out iiefore these may he released.

It was also pointed out that Sacramento county, California, predict that four times as many steers will be fed out in 1954 as in 1953.

Taking land out of grain pro duction was kicked around quite a little by the group and all felt that the encouragement of plant ing grass in waterways, steep hillsides, and in a rotation would help to relieve the grain situa tion considerably. In trying to determine the problem for the Columbia Basin, each county esti mated their 1951 wheat, barley and other grain production and tried to fit it into the commercial and farm storage that was esti mated as now available. This was a little hard to do at this lime of year but we have made estimates before that have not been too far wrong. This is the way it looked for Morrow county: Our wheat production should run about three and a fourth million bushels with conditions as they look now. This would more than fill all of our com mercial storage if it was all empty, which we all know that it won't be. Barley production should run slightly over a mil lion bushels, while the other grain production could amount to (5,00(1 bushels. With a rough estimate of approximately one and a half million bushels farm storage in Morrow county, our barley and other grains could be taken care of if these facilities wore all empty. Since nimmvi. matcly a half of this is full of storage now and under govern ment farm loan, we know that it won't he empty as the govern ment has no place to move the grain to unless something unfor seen happens within the next few months. There is little hope for this, It is easy to see what the situation could be in Morrow County. Since we had to do some pretty rough estimating on farm stor age in Morrow county, we de cided it was time to have a more accurate survey of just what is available, it can be used every year for some good. This week, we mailed a letter to all farmers, asking them if they would give us their farm storage in order that we could attempt to do little heiler job of educating people on the needs that there are for additional storage. Most of this will be provided, we think, in multi purpose type buildings that can1 be converted to other use in years that our storage is not a problem, Those years will come, we are sure. The roll call was answered by each member telling how their Mr. and Mrs. William Nickols entertained members of the play cast of the play 'Comin Round the Mountain' at their home on Sun day evening.
