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.

3. Check all your windows. Are

burglars are second-story men.
4. Plan your packing. Travel

don't forget your camera, film,
suntan oil, an extra pair of
glasses, your portable radio.
5. Plan your route. Don't wait

9. Pets. Be sure to arrange for
someone to take care of your pets
