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

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.

tie? How would this effect our
ability to produce eggs, milk,

Morrow county wheat growers
should participate in discussion
that will establish details as the
plan takes shape.

n Pendleton on December 8, 9,
and 10 and The National Asso
ciation of Wheat Growers which
will be held in the Multnomah
Hotel in Portland on Februray 1,
2, and 3. 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. It is thought that the
Wheat League will recommend a
soil bank program as part of the
