The observance of Red Hat Day will climax an education program aimed at improving hunter conduct and Die relations between landowners and sportsmen. Governor Patterson has appoint ed a statewide committee to head up this program which is sponsored by timber, agricultural, and livestock interests; labor organizations; federal and state land use agencies; and conservation organizations. A total of 25 sponsors is listed on the committee letterhead. The Red Hat Day pogram will emphasize four major points of a code of ethics which it is hoped that every hunter will adopt. They are: 1. Respect for the property and rights of others. 2. Care in the use of firearms. 3. Care in the use of fire. 4. Compliance with the game laws. That there is need for improvement in hunting practices and hunter conduct in the field Is easily demonstrated. In 1954 a total of 51 hunting ac cidents occurred, of which 13 were fatal. Cer tainly, there is great need for an awareness on the 'part of all hunters of the importance of sale hunting practices and safe handling of firearms. In the same year, more than 200 forest and range fires were credited to hunters. Fire conditions may be critical in the early portion of the hunting season and extreme caution on the part of all hunters is necessary to prevent range and forest fires. In 1954 as in previous years an assessed amount of damage accrued to private and public properties throughout the state. Vandalism has in a large part been responsible for the closure of much private land formerly available for public hunting. Those who leave gates open, Knock down fences, frighten and shoot cattle and com mit other thoughtless acts have made things "tough" for everyone. Nor is vandalism confined to private property. Public campgrounds are cluttered up with all kinds of debris, signboards are knocked down or perforated with bullet holes, and camp tables and benches have frequently been used for firewood. Unsportsmanlike conduct and acts of vandal ism cannot be pinned on any particular group. Individuals who do not follow the rules come from all walks of life. Not infrequently a person whoj appears to be a gentleman at other times reveals his true character on a hunting trip. The message of Red Hat Day is aimed at those individuals who, although representing a minority of the hunting public, have adversely affected hunting recrea tion for everyone. The "red hat" is to be known as a symbol of good sportsmanship whether worn by a logger, a lawyer, a farmer or a bank president. To the wearer it will be a constant reminder throughout the hunting season that he has pledged himself to be a true sportsman. If everyone who hunts will get behind this pro gram and adopt a code of hunting ethics, the 1955 hunting season and future seasons will be more pleasant and more profitable for everyone con cerned. Game Commission Bulletin U - y From The County Agent's Office From time to time this sum mer we have called to attention of farmers with perennial weed control problems that this was the year to take advantage of weed control while A. S. C. con servation practice payments were available to help with 50 of the cost of control. The Secretary of Agriculture has announced that there will not be conservation payments available for weed control in fu ture years. For those farmers who have not found time to have a weed control program on their farm during the summer months, it Is suggested that consideration be given to the use of chlorates By N. C. Anderson for weed control. Chlorates are considerable higher priced for weed control, however, where weed infestations are yet limited It is most effective. Applied any time now when fall rains begin, chlorate will kill weeds by steri lization of. the ground. When chlorates are applied at the rate of from four to six pounds per square rod, sterilization will last from five to seven years. When applications are made chlorates should bo spread approximately ten feet beyond the last visible plants around the patches in or der to sterilize and kill any under ground root stocks that have not yet shown up. Failure to do this in many cases leaves a ring of noxious weeds beyond the steril ized patch. This is the best year yet to get started on this weed control program when you can earn 50 of the cost of control and count your weed patches out in wheat diverted acres. Our county weed control spray er would be happy to make ap plications before freeze-up time and a chlorate spreader is avail able for those applying dry chlorate. KEEP.

Sandy Peterson'i nephew Pete has gone back to college. lie worked on Sandy's farm a couple of months lunt summer to get hardened up for football He seemed to enjoy farm life all right but like most city kids it took him some time to get used to a farmer's schedule. Sandy claims that when he went in to wuke Pete on the first morning the boy looked up startled and asked what time it was, Sniuiy replied it was four fifteen. "Gee," Pete murmured, "if we're going td do a day's work tumor row you'tl bet ter get to bed ! " From where I sit, we must have heard a million stories like that. But they show how some people assume their customs are the only proper ones. To most city folks getting up at 4:15 seems odd, be cause they don't do it. Just like some people don't think enjoying a glass of beer is "right" ... be cause they happen to prefer an other beverage and haven't wnked up to the fact that everyone has a right to his own choice. Copyright, I')j5, United Slates Ihewers foundation Livestock men who during the past two years have tried saw dust and shavings for muddy lots are sold on this practice. They have found that animals will not only do better when kept out of mud but that there is less chances for foot rot that starts in moist places. To get the best job done, don't be stingy with the sawdust or shavings. A layer of at least eighteen inches thick is desirable, more if the yard is poorly drained soil. You will get by with less sawdust if it is ap plied in your feed lot during the dry season. Be sure to get the layer thick enough to prevent the animals from breaking through. Recently, Oregon State College released the results of research trials on wheat seed treatment with new materials that have been carried on for the past three years. These trials have defi nitely established that wheat treatment with hexachloraben zene (IICB) and pentachloronitro benzene (PCNB) gives a very substantial degree of control of Infection from soil-born smut spores as well as seed born spores. Trials conducted on the Pen dleton and Sherman Branch Ex periment Stations have shown good control of soil-borne smut infection. Bill Hall at the Sher man Station is quite enthusiastic about the results in his area.

But be prepared, It's dif ferent ! thers farm near Helix resulted in a reduction of smutty heads fom about 15 per cent of Ceresan treated wheat to three per cent for HCB treated wheat. Other trials under the supervision of Dr. C. S. Holton, USDA Patholo gist at Pullman, Washington have been consistently favorable in other areas of the Columbia Basin. IICB and PCNB do not com pletely eliminate smut in com parative tests IICB and PCNB have been consistantly superior to the mercurial seed treatment materials which have been in general use for several years. The reason is that HCB and PCNB pre vent infection from both seed borne smut spores only. HCB (hexachlorobenzene) is sold under several trade names, some of which are: Anticarie, No-Bunt, Sanocide, Shut-Gp. The result of the winter wheat variety nursery, grown at Eight mile and lone have just been made available by the Sherman branch exeriment station. This year's results were somewhat dif ferent than in the past years in the varieties that stood at the top in yield. At the Eightmile nursery, lo cated on the Frank Anderson farm, a Hyman Orfed cross was the top producer with 20.2 bushels per acre, Golden stood second with 19.5; a Norin 10 crossed with Bre vor was third with 19.3 bushels; fourth was a Rio-Rex Athena cross yielding 17.9; fifth, Orfed, crossed with Wasatch with a 17.8. Elmar, which has been for many years at the top of the list was sixth with a 17.5 bushel yield. While this is in the sixth yield in the variety, it is actually second in yield of the varieties that are available to farmers. There were several crosses that yielded equally well among the other varieties grown. Brevor yielded 16.6 bushels, Rex 16.5, Orfed 16.4 and Rio 13.9. Since Golden has stood at the top over a good many years it would ap pear that that variety would be good for replacing some of the Rex in the Eightmile area. There were several varieties that were quite equal in this nursery from average yields of the past five years. Brevor stood at the top with a 25.9 bushels, Elmar second with 25.7, and Golden third with 25.6. Other varieties at the top, Rex with a 25.2, Orfed with 24.8, and Rio with 23.S bushels per acre.
