Single Copy 10 cent. It's Fair Time Again Next week, starting Thursday, September 1, the annual Morrow county fair and rodeo will be staged at the improved fair grounds here in Hepp ner. It is an event which is of interest and con cern to all of us here in this section of Morrow county. The fair is a mirror of the productivity and ingenuity of our farmers, our stockmen, our 4-H, FFA youngsters,' our gardeners and our home makers both present and future. The rodeo is presented for our entertainment, and this year, as a strictly amateur show, it will present the best efforts our cowboy neighbors can put out. There'll be a carnival too, and a big parade along with many other events designed entirely for your in terest. A fair is everybody's show and it is only as good as each of us help to make it for if it were not for our individual entries and participation, there could be no fair. Let's all take part. Look over the premium list and find a division that you can enter maybe you won't win a prize but it's a lot of fun to try. (Speaking of that, we wish they would institute a section for green tomatoes. We've got a couple of dandies, but the doggone things won't get ripe.) A lot of work has, and is, going into the job of making your fair and rodeo an even better one than in past years. Plan now to take part and to attend every event What Price Politics? (From The Junction City Times) After just wading through six pages in the Congressional Record by Wayne Morse titled "Meeting the Crisis in Public Education" one suspects that this appeal to every one in any way connected with Oregon's school system is not without political significance. The Fpripral government has responded to other national emergencies in the social and eco nomic field with decisive action, and I hope that it will do so in the field of education," says Morse, adding that "it is my judgment that a special ses sion of Congress should be called by October 1 for the purpose of passing very much needed Federal aid to education.

AH of his land was fer tilized during the summer and early fall of 1954 with nitrogen. While no checks were left, skips In the field unfertilized, showed that fertilizing was definitely needed this year. The fact that he harvested a 26.5 bushel per acre y ield on his entire farm in dicates that the nitrogen was helpful. Few farms have report ed higher yields than this, how ever I understand that there were some higher yields obtained. Results from the seven wheat fertilizer plots scattered through out the county are not yet avail able. . When these are calcu lated we can see what the vari ous amounts of fertilizer yielded in comparison to unfertilized checked plots. Ralph Crum, a North lone farmer, also reports considerable boosts from nitrogen applications especially those ap plied in summer or very early fall. Late fall applications did not show as great increases. Recently reports from the U. S. Department of Agriculture co operating with the extension ser vice at Oregon State college show that farm output in 1955 is forecast to be at an all-time re cord high. Production of live stock products Is at a record level and, if weather continues favor able, total crop production may equal the 1948 record. The sup ply of feed grains for the 1955-56 feed year will reach a new high resulting from near-record crops of corn and barley, and record crops of oats and sorghum grain. The new crops will add to the record total carryover of feed grains. The corn crop is estimat ed to be at the second largest of record with the indicated yield per acre set at a new record.

He told different people what automobile to buy, what books to read -even told some who they "Just had" to vote for. When It came time to leave, this fellow must've folt a pang of conscience. He turned to tho host ess and said: "I suppose I was a bit outspoken tonight" Quickly she replied, "Of course not No one could have out-poken you." From where I ait, it's an right to have opinions as long as you don't try to force them on neigh bors.

They're welcome to their choice but shouldn't try to force me to be a "party" to it! being harvested, and the good condtion of most ranges make a high volume of livestock pro duction in the next year almost certain. Another new record num ber of cattle will likely be fed and increased hog production this fall has been indicated by farmers' farrowing plans. Because large nnrniit will limit nrices of meat animals in the next year, profit margins in livestock production ppnerallv will continue rather narrow.

Applications for grazing licenses for the fall of 1955 and spring of 1956 will be the main business for the day. Grazing applications have been mailed out from the grange man ager of the Bureau of Land Man agement and are due in his office now. While feed grain prospects are great, hay on the other hand is in short supply. There is about 1.3 tons in sight for each hay eating animal. That is about 800 pounds less than average and 400 pounds less than last year when there was barely enough to the 'stretch through a late spring.

These are some of the better plans that we have had available at this office in the past. With the majority of the wheat harvest now under way, it ap pears as though the average yield will run somewhere around our first estimate and in the neighborhood of 19 bushels per ar-rp This is considered as a normal average yield. While we had the vield taeeed alter me mid-May rains to go as high as 23 bushels the lack ot rain in June brought this down quite readily. Average yields in the North end of Morrow county seem to run in the neighborhood of 15 bushels this year, with some fields reported to be yielding as low as 7. In the Eightmile and higher areas where harvest got under way about 10 days ago, yields are reported all the way be tween 20 and 30 bushels per acre. Nationwide, the August 1st wheat crop estimate jumped to 911 million bushels; fifty-one mil lion more than July and 81 mil lion higher than the May esti mate. Early this spring it looked like drought damaged winter wheat beyond help but favorable weather chanced the picture. Winter wheat yields will be about the same as last year and spring wheat will yield far more. In Ore gon the total wheat production is estimated a little less than il million bushels; this is not quite a million bushels more than the July estimate but 8 million less than last year's crop. The winter wheat crop, IS12 million bushels, is turning out better than expect ed. It is 2'z million bushels less than last year. BUILD LOCAL LIBRARIES The call for books made upon the Oregon State Library by readers and students from a 1 parts of the state should be di rected in part to county and loca libraries according to a proposal made by Miss Eleanor Stephens, state librarian. The suggested plan would save time for the book users and save money for the state.

Oregon was the first state to set up a DOOKS-oy-mau service. It was the idea of Miss Cornelia Marvin, now Mrs. Walter Pierce, who lounaea xne uregon state Library 50 years ago this month. Mrs. Pierce is credited with getting the Postoffice Department tn put an economical rate on books mailed and served as li- brarian for 24 years. TRAINED WORKERS NEEDED The boost in salaries made for state employees by the recent legislature does not seem to be the answer to the shortage of trained workers or to the heavy turnover that has been consistent for the past 15 years. The State Civil Service Com mission this week sent notices of examinations for applicants to fill these positions: Communications clerk, $198 to $265; prison counselor, $31rj to $400; parol officer 1, $320 to $420. Application forms may be filed Continued on Page 5 ta n standards were not met. Standards set up won't tolerate such things as rodent pellets, urine, and other contaminations. This year at the time farmers take out a wheat loan they must sign a statement that at the time they deliver the grain or it is ac quired by CCC that if not of a quality which meets the sanita tion requirements of the Federal Food and' Drug Administration the wheat shall be sold to the highest bidder for feed or for in dustrial uses other than food and beverages and a settlement value shall be such sales price. It there fore is each person's responsibil ity to keep their grain in good condition so they w;H not experi ence a loss through storage. In sects, rodents, and birds are the main source of contamination. We have two excellent bulletins in our bullet Is rack which would give helpful information to all on controlling birds and rodents and also insects in stored grain.
