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.

From The
County Agent's Office
yN.C
Bernard Doherty, Blackhorse
farmer, has reported that this
years fertilizer applications have
paid off. 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.

After-Dinner Speaker
Gets His "Deserts"
"Red" Thomas tells about t din
ner party he and his MisHus went
to In Center City last week. He
aid it was a wonderful party-ex-eept
for one guest who was a real
know-it-all," right from the start.
Whatever the aubject, thin
fellow considered himself an
"expert" Wasn't quiet about it,
either. 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. Take those who would deny
me an occasional glass of beer
simply because they prefer some
thing else. 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. Production of all meat In
1955 is expected to be about 2b.7
hillion Dounds. 5 per cent more
than last year's record. Consump
tion per person is forecast at iw

year. All tne increase irom iasi
year is In pork.

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.

rnttinmen who are planning on
building livestock equipment this
fall might be interested in some
new plans just received in the of
fice for building'calf creep feed
ers, corrals, cattle squeezes,
chutes, and head gates. 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. The State

Ala are surelv well pleased with
this new processed wheat food.

much-used and appreciated re

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

Mrs. Pierce is credited with

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.

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.
They can be yours for the asking.
