NIWSPAPIR PUBIISHIRS ASSOCIATION ROBERT PENLAND Editor and Publisher GRETCHEN PENLAND Associate Publisher RATIONAL IOI10RI AL Published Every Thursday and Entered at the Post Office at Heppner, Oregon, as Second Class Matter Subscription Rates: Morrow and Grant Counties, $3.00 Year; Elsewhere $4.00 Year. Single Copy 10 cents, From The County Agent's Office By N. C Andenoa Those farmers who attended the field day at the Sherman branch experiment station at Moro on June 27, report that much information of value was presented -to them through the day. Several that we talked to were surprised that the Sherman branch experiment station had been established back in 1910 and had been working on agriculture problems pertinent to the lower rainfall portion of the Columbia Basin in Oregon. It serves ap proximately IVi million acres where rainfall varies from 7 to 13 inches and elevations are from 100 to 4000 feet above sea level. The average rainfall for the crop year at the station is 11.59 for 44 years. The elevation is 1835 feet and the soil is a very fine sandy loam of the Walla Walla series. Work that the station has set up as principal projects have been the testing and developing of new cereal varieties, methods of handling summer fallow, seed ing practices and crop rotations. The use of fertilizers, chemical weed control, soil building prac tices for soil and water conserva tion have been recent main pro jects. Fertiliser experiments carried on at the station compare rate, and source of nitrogen fertillers. Nitrogen is derived from ammon ium nitrate and anhydrious am monia. Nitrogen applications have been compared on winter wheat after fallow and on annual cropping with spring wheat. Like a lot of land in Morrow county which compares to the station, no great results have been obtained by the use of nitrogen fertilizer. The maximum yield has been produced by the twenty pound rate in two years and by the higher applications of forty and sixty pounds in one year. It ap pears that the forty pound rate produces the most economical re turn. The difference in yield be tween the source of nitrogen is not enough to be considered sig nificant. There has been about a five bushel increase over a per iod of five years between the forty pound application and the check plot. When annual crop ping, the results are considerable different. It appears that forty five pounds of nitrogen was suf ficient to produce the maximum yield. Approximately a seven and half bushel increase was ob tained in nitrogen applied to an nual cropping over regular sum mer fallow plots. THIRTY YEARS AGO From Files of the Gazette.

Wheat growers favored market ing quotas by national average of almost 3 "A to 1 In last weeks referendum. North Dakota with 15 of the total votes cast voted 20 to 1 in favor of quotas.

Many have reported that it is much simpler for them to call the county weed sprayer to spray their small pat ches than fo hem to rig up to spray themselves. Excellent re sults have been reported from such a program. Bill Weatherford, who ranches In the Buttercreek area withTn goatweed infested Urea reports excellent control from chrysilina beetles which were put in his goatweed patches 2 year ago and again last year. Mr. Weatherford was the first farmer to use these beetles. He received 1 colony from Wallowa county in 1953. In 1954 9 colonies were distributed in the heavily infested area near Buttercreek. The beetles seem to be increasing steadily and have at the Weatherford farm control led large areas within the pat ches of goatweed. With the goat weed spreading rapidly in our range country other ranchers may find chrysilina beetles an easy answer to control this weed. o Mr. and Mrs. Jack Marshall were called to Ontario Sunday by the death of Mrs. Marshall's aunt. 3 3 3f 3 3f 3 3fc 3 CLEMENCY REQUESTED Many letters have been recei ved recently by Gov.
