The weekly report shows that on July 1st, feed grains were indicated to be the largest propor tion of the total volume of crops for the nation. The carry over of feed grains in farm stocks is also large for most commodities. Some of the crop production is given which shows the nations corn crop was indicated at 3.3 billion bushels up 4 percent from last years total. in Oregon, the corn crop for 1954 was up 11 from a year ago. Farm stocks of corn for the nation was reported to be the third lar gest of record. The nations oat crop appears to be a record crop. It will be up 27 from last years total output nationally and up about 45 larger than a year ago. in Oregon. The nations barley crop will be 55 larger than last years crop. OrcgoA's barley crop will be 53 larger than last year's output and 73 above average. These are some of the reasons with a perfect mass of interlock ing roots. This is the best ex ample I have seen in the state of the possibilities of Nomad alfalfa as it is evident that gophers nor livestock grazing nor anything else could affect the stand as of present. At the edge of this plot a farm pond had recently been put in and in the excavation work soil was piled about a foot deep on some of the alfalfa. Also some of it had been bulldozed out to form the water basin. The Nomad, although heavily covered, had come up through the soil and was again occupying the land. In the large pile of soil piled up by the dozer on one side, many plants, although cut off completely, were THIRTY YEARS AGO From theGazette Times Files of July 24, 1924 Harold Cohn and Paul Gemmell are maintaining camps in the mountains for their families and the two gentlemen make the trip to them every evening.

On May 13, 14 and 15, a tour was held in Morrow County to make comparisons of the five al falfa variety plantings which were sponsored in 1953 and 54 by the Morrow County Livestock Growers Association. E. R. Jack man, Veteran Range and Crop Specialist, from the college, was on the tour. A field report made by him recently carries some in teresting comments which I think Morrow Coiinly Livestock men should be interested in. Mr. Jack man says that Morrow County has done the best job in the state in getting these alfalfa plantings scattered over every conceivable condition in the county.

Very few have prevailed themselves of this service to date. The Oregon State College Agri cultural Economics department reports that contracting of cattle for fall delivery has slowed down considerably. Contracting this year has been quite spotted this year with only a few deals made in any one area. This may mean that the contractors are anticipat ing lower prices due to forced marketing this fall.

MB 9 mm nre INSURANCE RATES REDUCED To 30c Per $100 Insurance COVERS ALL GRAINS Wheat farmers in the Columbia Basin low rainfall areas can save money with light seeding rates and still maintain yields accord ing to the trials at the Sherman Branch Experiment Station at Moro. Winter seeding rates of wheat at the rates of 39 pounds per acre yielded just as high as 90 pounds rates in two year trials. The test also included the rates of 45, fo and 75 pounds with all seedings yielding between 34 to 36 bushels per acre for the two year average. Date of seeding is more important the station has found. Seeding made October 1 and 15 showed significant yield increases in the 1953 harvest over the seedings of September 1 and 15 and November 1st.
