Red Hat Day
Red Hat Day, September 23, Is the .day on
which all Oregon hunters will be expected to wear
a red hat as a symbol of good sportsmanship.
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

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 claims that when he

From where I sit, we must have

But they show how some people

proper ones. To most city folks
getting up at 4:15 seems odd, be

some people don't think enjoying

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.

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
