Some farmers were of the opin
ion, up until the exact amount of
of discount was announced, that
they could still produce enough
Rex over other varieties to make
up quite a little discount. It
doesn't appear as though Rex
regardless of how well it has pro
duced for many years could with
stand the 20c , discount. With
wheat supported at 76 of parity
for 1956 and the modernized par
ity formula being used, the in
come from wheat will drop
enough without adding a 20c
discount to it.
Many farmers have been ask
ing what varieties to grow to re
place Rex. For many years wheat
variety plots have been seeded in
the Eightmile and North lone
communities to compare many
different established varieties
and promising crosses for yields
and other characteristics. This
years yields have .not been calcu
lated on the plots grown at the
Frank Anderson and John Proud
foot farms. Results in 1954
showed Elmar in top place in
both of these nurseries. Elmar
stood top for several years. At
lone, Golden was In second place,
Brevor in third place, Orfed,
Fourth, Rio. fifth, Rex, sixth. In
the Eightmile area, Rex was se
cond, Brevor third, Golden fourth,
Orfed Fifth, Rio sixth.
It looks like Elmar will replace
a lot of the Rex with Brevor and

where Elmar Is not well suited or
unpopular with farmers.
getting started after weed in
festations early many times they
are halted before they spread
throughout a farm. The second
reason is that this year an ACP
payment assists farmers with
50 of the cost of weed control.
The secretary of agriculture has
announced that this practice will
not be continued in 1956. For that
reason farmers are smart to take
advantage of this practice this
year when they can have 50 as
sistance in control.
A great many of the farmers
who have called at the office to
discuss their weed control prac
tice have indicated that they
would like to have the county
sprayer do the spraying for them.
The sprayer has been quite busy
this summer with the most far
mer jobs ever yet, undertaken.
This is quite alright since con
trol of perennial noxious weeds
on state and county roads are
nearing eradication giving more
time for these farm spray jobs.
During the past two weeks, Cal
Carson, sprayer operator, has had
a job or two each day for farm
ers. It is not too late for you to
make application for weed con
trol under the ACP practice and
receive payment of approximate
ly 50 of the cost. We would
be glad to work out a weed con
trol program with you.
A lot of farmers have taken the
suggestion seriously that they
get their weed control program
under way this year. This is good!
It is good for two reasons, The
first reason is that the sooner
that weed control is started on a
farm the sooner noxious weeds
can be brought under control. By
Morrow county sheepmen, both
adult and youth, during the past
week have added many good ani
mals to their flocks. On August 6,
Kenneth Lynn Smouse, lone 411
club member, purchased a regis
tered Southdown Stud Ram at
the Willamette Valley ram sale
at Albany. This ram is being
used now to breed Kenny Lynn's
flock of six registered Southdowns
along with five Southdowns pur
chased on August 11 at the Ore

HOOVER IN OREGON
Salem and another Oregon city,
Newberg, were focus points for
national TV and radio takes last
week when ex-president Herbert
Hoover saw the sun rise from a
Salem hotel window on his 81st
birthday. He was greeted in the
lobby by Senate President Elmo
E. Smith, acting governor and a
throng of Salemites who knew
him when he resided in Salem in
the 1890's.
He flew to Oregon to inspect
and dedicate a reconstructed
Newberg house that was home
to the orphaned boy when living
with his uncle, Dr Minthorn.
At the dedication Hoover said,
"During the last score of years
our American way of life has
been deluged with criticism. It
comes from our own people who
deplore our faults and genuinely
wish to remedy them.
"It arises from the refusal of
tion sale. These ewes were pur
chased by Carol, Janet, and Joe
Palmer Lexington and Jerry An
derson Heppner. They are to be
used for 411 club projects.
On August 15, several sheep
men purchased top rams at the
annual Pendleton Ram Sale.
Those who purchased rams while
the agent was at the sale were:
Bob Van Schoiack, and Paul
Webb. Both bought a number of
Sufflok rams.

As fair time grows near, farb-
ers and ranchers should be pre
paring their exhibits for the show,
Each year we hear farmers say
that they wish they had brought
exhibits to the fair and that they
had something better than that
exhibited at home. We are es
pecially weak each year on wool,
hay, grain, and dairy exhibits.
We are extra weak on grain ex
liibits taking into consideration
that our main source of income
here is from wheat. Hay is also
an important crop and it is sel
dom that we have more than half
a dozen exhibits at the fair.
This year a special Tillamook
Dairy Herd Improvement Associa
tion class has been added to the
dairy division. While this is not
listed in the premium list, it was
announced this week. The Mor
row County Creamery are putting
up some special prizes that will
be worth while to anyone. They
are not going to be ottered, how
ever, unless there is at least 10
head of dairy exhibited. With
a great number of Tillamook
Dairy heifers that have been Im
ported to the county over the
past few years, a good bit of com
petition could be had in such a
class. Heifer calves, yearlings or
producing cows will qualify
Those farmers who have bought
Tillamook dairy heifers over the
past few years should consider
polishing them up and bringing
them to the fair.

"Freedom of mind, of spirit and

Secretary of the Interior Doug
las McKay introduced Herbert
Hoover to a sun-defying crowd in
Newberg last Wednesday and
made the prize bloop of the year.

"Newberg".
BUSY DAY FOR McKAY
Saturday evening Secretary of

he is scheduled to speak at the
annual Southwest Indian cere
monial. In the forenoon he had partici
pated in restorational ceremonies
of the Robert Newell house at
Champoeg. He recognized the

growing consciousness of restor

Newell is credited with bring
ing the first wagon overland in
to the Willamette Valley and
platted the historic community of
Champoeg.
In the afternoon McKay spoke
at cornerstone laying ceremonies
at Vancouver at the site of old
Fort Vancouver, home of the
first permanent white settlers in
the Pacific Northwest.
VISITING OREGON HOME
Carlton Savage who has been
with the Department of State for
nearly 3 years calls Oregon his

for the sweet end of the straw
berry season.
In 1936 he was named advisor
to Secretary of State Cordell Hull
and remained in that position un
til Hull's retirement in 1944.
He served similarly with Sec

cutive secretary, and has served
