To the casual reader, a week set aside for such purpose may seem completely unexciting and meaningless, but closer observation will re veal the importance of paying proper homage to a product and a profession which have played a major role in the development of both our econ omy and our political system. Particularly appropriate is the theme of Adver tising Recognition Week: "Advertising Benefits You It Benefits Everyone." This is true. Not only, for instance, does the manufacturer of a product benefit by advertising, but also the con sumer. And even if you do not happen to be the consumer, the indirect benefits filter down to you through increased production, consumption and resulting money circulation and general prosperity- FARM BUREAU TO HEAR HELL'S CANYON TALK Clint Sincleir, representative for the Hell's Can on Associa'tTrTn will speak at the Farm Bureau meeting next Tuesday at 8 p. m. at the Lexington Grange hall, Bureau officers announced Wednesday. But consider some of the other benefits of advertising. It has made, and makes possible, abundant use of communication facilities this newspaper, as an example; radio, TV, and the my riad of publications you find on your newsstand. Abolish their use of advertising, and they would, no doubt, be beyond financial reach of many peo ple. Here in America, where advertising has reached its greatest consequence, the news of the world, its analysis, the world's great literature, art, music and kindred other contributions are at your fingertips for little or nothing. This is a result of advertising. And it is this same advertising which has bol stered and informed America against tyranny and oppression since the days of one of our edrliest j stored and foremost advertising men, Benjamin Franklin Thus, we may well pause and appreciate both American genius in advertising, and the end pro duct in itself. Truly, it benefits you and it bene fits everyone. proached during the last week, being offered $25 a bushel for their barley that they produce this year. With the grain stor age problem such as it is, and prospects for a good harvest, many are worrying about what they will do with their barley. The price which they have been offered is $25 and $30 a ton. Our advice to these farmers has been to be slow In contracting their barley for such a price. The bar ley price support program, an nounced, will bring from $50 to $55 on your farm. We do not have the difinite price rate for this county, although we expect it to be announced any day now. Of course, this barley must pass qualifications in grade to be eligible for loan and must be in storage eligible for From The County Agent's Office By N. C. Anderson government through ACP Pro- I gram, better varieties and meth ods, and necessity on some farms to take land out of wheat. If you need help in developing pasture mixes and recommendations, we would be glad to help you. An indication that Pacific Northwest livestockmen are realizing the value of high qual ity livestock was demonstrated at the recent Red Bluff Bull Sale at Red Bluff, California. In each of the four breeds sold at Red Bluff, those grading highest brought by far the highest aver age prices. For the 2X2 animals sold those grading one-minus, the top grade, went for 50 more money than the average of bulls in the next lower grade, or 2 plus. Bulls grading less than two-minus were sifted for the sale. For the entire sale, ten one-minus hulls averaged $1,278.00 ; 48 two plus bulls averaged $821.98; 151 two-grade bulls averaged $581.37; while 73 two-minus grade bulls brought only $.!8!)!)3, average. Now is the time for farm folks to get their tree orders to the Stale Forestry Department, Salem, before the March 15th deadline. They will ship the seedlings when you are ready for them, however there is no need to put off planting as long as the soil is such that the trees can be set out. For Eastern Oregon there is still a wide choice of trees in cluding Ponderosa pine, Scotch pine, lodge pole pine, Chinese Arhorvltae, Black locust, Russian olive, Caragana, Chinese elm, and Russian mulberry. The two year old conifers are priced at $!) per thousand, the one year old broad leaf's at $S per thousand. No or der is accepted for less than 50 trees of a singfe species or for less than for one dollar. The cost includes shipping charges. The trees are sold only for farm or forest plantings and purchas ers must certify that they have not less than three acres under cultivation. The regular order blanks used in ordering these trees are available from the county agent's office. With the weather warming up a bit and spring just around the corner, seeding of grasses and le gumes for pasture should be up permost in the minds of many. Don't forget them, they are the cheapest feed available. When beef cattle were selling above thirty cents a pound there was a rush of interest in pastures all over Oregon. Now that beef cat tle prices are cut squarely in half, some of this interest has died down . . . the question is, should it? Since it is harder to make money from cattle now, there is all the more reason to concen trate efforts on pastures for cheaper feed. Pasture costs only1 from one half to one fourth as much as either hay or grain, so when prices are low and the fight between outgo and income gets intense with the bank account as first prize, then it is all the more Important to study ways to re duce outgo. Pastures of all kinds can lie established this year with less expense than for many years due to cheaper seed, in some cases a better cost sharing program by O. W. Cutsforth, Lexington rancher, has recently added to the good quality livestock that can be found in Morrow county. Mr. Cutsforth bought Prumode 50th, the Reserve Champion Pol led Hereford bull at the recent Northwest Polled Hereford Sale held at Yakima, Washington. This bull, of excellent quality, should do much to improve the Cuts forth herd. Consigning at the sale was Kirk and Robinson, Heppner, who showed the junior champion bull. Volume Down at Stock Auction HERMISTON Neil Beamer of Heppner topped the market at the Hermiston livestock auction with a 415 lb. sow selling for $23.80 cwt., Delbert Anson, man ager of the sale, reported. Icy roads which failed to thaw early enough to permit farmers to truck cattle to the sale cut volume and discouraged farmer and feeder buyers from attending. Packer buyers were present in usual numbers but were unable to find sufficient cattle in many instances to load car lots. Consigned were 170 cattle com pared with 340 the previous Fri day, 39 hogs compared with 159 and 105 sheep compared with 211. Prices were steady to slightly weaker, except for slightly stronger feeder lambs. Quality was generally lower except on sheep. Announcement was made of the fourth annual all-breeds reg istered cattle sale Tuesday, March 2, in addition to usual weekly Friday sales. Short supplies at markets Bulls: 13.20-14.90.

We are sure that there will be some distress barley that will bring considerably under the $50 a ton support, however, this will be good feed barley as a general rule and there will be de mand for it. Even if a perso. must store their barley on the ground, they cannot lose as much as they would in contracting it for $25 a ton, now. In the recent smut report for the 1953 crop for the Pacific North, west, some interesting informa tion is presented. While the per centage of bushels grading smut ty in 1953 was 3.7, compared to 27.8 in 1952, this is still almost five million bushels of smutty wheat. Many people are happy about this situation, but there is always a bit of caution to be of- butterfat fered. For instance, in 1942 less than 3; of the wheat crop of the Pacific Northwest graded smutty, since that time wheat smut has caused an estimated loss of about 150,00,000 in this region. In other words, the low incidence of smut in 1953 is not a valid basis for overly optimistic conclusions. Wheat smut is a resourceful crit-! ter. Records show that it has ways of coming back. It has done just that in the past, and proba bly will again. Interest is running high for Ti! lamook Dairy Herd Improvement heifer calves this winter.
