Pog4 Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, November 24, 1955 From The County Agent's Office By N. C Anderson Only 180,000,000 bushels of wheat had gone under loan of October 15 this year compared to 302,000,000 bushels last year. Most of the drop was in the hard winter wheat states of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. Montana and North Dahota increased the amount under loan. The main reason for the small amount under loan so far is that market prices are closer to loan levels than a year ago. This has come about because last year's crop is almost entirely in government hands, leaving a relatively small supply in commercial channels. Wheat production has been brought into closer balance with demand during the last two years, but we are not getting rid of our surplus. The current U. S. D. A. wheat circular points out that average yield from 55,000, 000 acres of wheat produce just about enough for our normal use including exports. Any whittling of our surplus would be very slow. for the Oregon Plans are shaping up annual meeting of the Association of Soil Conservation Districts which will be held this year in Pendleton on November 30 and December 1. The meet ings will be in the Vert little theatre both d;iys. Besides the business of the association, there will be interesting discussion on soil concervation and Nolan Fu qua, president of the National As sociation of Soil Conservation Districts from Duncan, Oklahoma will be the speaker. In the after noon of December 1, a tour through the West Umatilla Con servation District and through McNary Dam is being planned. We will give vou more details of the program when it is re ceived. Two other annual meetings that it is no ttoo early to be planning for is that of the Ore gon Wheat Growers League which will be held in the new Armory uF Norah's . fwh You've heard her hint she wants a sweater.

As details are being worked out, there are a lot of questions being asked, among which are, "Shall the bank be made up only of wheat corn, cotton, rice and tobacco acres? Shall it contain 10 to 15 of all the cropland on every farm? Shall small farms be ex empt? Should this extra land be used for hay and pasture? Now long should this land be "saved"? How can it be brought back into production? What incentive payment is fair? Should price supports be conditioned up- on participation in the plan? Will: large cities in Oregon during this Plan put several hundred ! periods of maximum demana acres of good grain land here in Oregon and the Northwest into about 340 gallons per person. o- grass where it produces very lit- 'rI0NE NEWS tie? How would this effect our ability to produce eggs, milk, and meat, especially pork for our rapidly expanding Pacific coast population?" Morrow county wheat growers should participate in discussion that will establish details as the plan takes shape. Leroy Brenner, son of Mr. and Mrs C. E. Brenner, leu jviunuay for the Air Force.

With Morrow county as host for this year's annual meet ing of the Oregon Wheat Grow ers League, plans are shaping up' well for a good meeting. The executive Committee of the Mor row County Wheat Growers As sociation met last Saturday af ternoon at the county agent's of fice to plan details for the pro gram and features that will make the annual meeting more enjoyable. Oregon feels honored to have the annual meeting of the Na tional Association of Wheat Growers at Portland this year. An interesting program Is being de veloped with tentative speakers for the program during the three day session ' being secretary of agriculture, Ezra Taft Benson, congressman Clifford Hope, na tional research director, Dr. Karl Quisenberry and head of the foreign agricultural service, Gvvynn Garnett. This is the time of year when bull and female sales are being held. Morrow county livestock men have participated in some held last week and have con signments made to at least one to be held tn the near future. The Round-up Poled Hereford Sale will be held at the Round Up grounds in Pendleton on Sat urday, December 3. This show and sale is bein cut to one day, with the show in the morning and the sale in the afternoon. Forty-four bulls and twelve fe males have been consigned. Mor row county hereford breeders con signing are B. J. Doherty, Floyd Worden, Clayton Wright, and Kirk and Robinson, all Heppner. The sale at the Boylen farm at Stanfield on the fourteenth did not bring the expected prices of those who had consigned. One of the main reasons for this was the bad weather of the day. Frank Anderson, Heppner, was one of the consigners. The fifth annual range bull sale, held at John Day last weekend brought a considerably lower average than in past years. The grand champion bull consigned by Frank Anderson, Heppner, brought $560. It was only a few years ago that the champion bull sold for over $2,000. The grand champion bull and another of the three consigned by Frank Anderson were brought back to Morrow county to improve herds here. John Graves, Hardman, was purchaser of these two bulls. Farmers will be hearing a lot about the soil bank or soil saving plan for dealing with warm sur pluses in the next few months. There are many different ideas on details. This Tuesday the Oregon Wheat Growers League, with representatives from Oregon State College are studying soil bank ideas and working out de tails which might be helpful for discussion at the annual meeting of the Oregon Wheat Growers League.
