C Andenoa At this time of the year when thoughts turn t othe control of perenial noxious weeds, Morrow county farmers should give con siderable thought to a program for noxious weed control follow ing through with proper spacing of sprays designed for the best control of these weeds. This is the fifth year that Morrow county has been operating a weed con trol program for eradicating per enial noxious weeds from road sides and the county owned land. The Oregon state highway de partment and Union Pacific rail road have co-operated with a control program on their rights of ways. The time has now arrived when enforcement of the district wet'd control law is facing a county court. This means that those farmers who have not car ried on a weed control program will bo soon asked to do so or steps will be taken to control these weeds. As we have stated many times in the past, the pro gram is outlined for working out a watershed at a time working down the drainage area to. get away from reinfestation as much as possible. All farmers who have a weed problem on their farms should consider the excellent ACP pay ments in this years weed control program which will enable them to receive approximately 50 of the cost of their weed control from ASC. It is getting that time of the year when such a program should be in effect. Particulars and prior approval for weed con trol when participating in the ASCP program is available at the county agent's office. Hog Price Takes Another Increase Now that summer is here, you may be interested in some work that was done at the Imperial Val ley field station in California on the effects of shade for cattle. It was found that an unshaded cow standing in an air temperature of 100 degrees Farenheit has to dis pose of enough heat in a ten hour period to bring nine gallons of ice water to the boiling point. To make 100 pounds of gain dur ing mid-summer it was found that from 200 to 300 pounds was needed for those without shade during the overall period. DRIVE TO BUY EQUIPMENT A representative of the Pendle ton post of the American Legion, Jo Ann Hay, is in this area on a magazine subscription drive to raise funds for the purchase of special polio oxygen equipment by the post.

By the time all deliveries of wheat have been made to the commodity credit corporation under the 1954 crop price support program, about 100 million bushels will be stored in a total of 512 ships of the U. .S Maritime reserve fleet. The ships are anchored at 64 east and west coast locations. As of Janu ary 1, 1955, about 72 million bus hels of CCC owned wheat were in such emergency ship storage has been provided by 105 ships at Olympia, Washington and Astor- ,ai Oregon anchorages, and 30 additional ships at Jones Point, In the Hudson River, New York. As for the present, about 17 million bushels of wheat are stored in 75 ships in the Hudson River with 30 ships still to be filled, 25 million bushels are stored in the 112 ships in (he James River, Vir ginia, 20 million bushels are stored in 87 ships at Astoria, with 75 ships yet to be filled, and 10 million bushels are stored in 43 ships at Olympia with 30 still to be filled.

HERMISTON Prices paid for fat hogs rose another $1.40 to a phenomenal $22.20 cwt. a.t the Hermiston livestock auction Fri day, Delbert Anson, manager of the sale, reports.
