NIWSPAMfc PUIIISHERS ASSOCIATION Published Every Thursday and Intered at th Part Ottiae at Mpnr, Oregon, as Second Clasa Matter Subscription Kates: Morrow and Grant Counties, $3.00 Year; Iliewhere $4.00 Year, Single Copy 10 cent From The County Agent's Office By N. C Those who attended the field day of the 1955 State "Conserva tion Man of the Year" on Mon day, had the oportunity to see a number of conservation practices in effect on the Lloyd Smith and Sons farm near Mayville in Gil liam county. Conservation prac tices used were practical, those that could be applied on any farm in Morrow county. On the farm, such practices as stubble mulch, deep furrow seeding and diversion ditches were used In a combination and appeared to be doing an excellent job. Water ways have been seeded to crested wheat and pubescent wheat grass to carry run-off safely through the fields without erosion. These sod waterways enable the Smiths to farm fields as a block rather than as cut-up portions. Those attending the field day in ad dition to the county agent, were Kenneth Peck, Burton Peck, Nor man Nelson, Alfred Nelson, Jr., Alvin Bunch, Kenneth Smouse, Bill Nichols and Tom Wilson. About 1G0 people attended, most of them farmers from the Col umbia Basin. Wheat acreage allotments have been announced. Voting on mar-, keting quotas is set for July 20. Oregon's 1957 wheat allotment has been set at 819,000 acres, only 4G2 acres less than the 1956 allot ment. The national allotment has again been set at 55 million acres the minimum allowed by law. Without this legal mini mum the allotment would have been only 12.4 million acres based on the supply formula. The mar keting quota on wheat is subject to grower approval. A most successful 4-H event was held last Saturday at the Alfred Nelson, Jr. homo near Lexington., This was the second annual 4-H livestock field day which was at. tended by 84 club members, par ents, leaders, and younger mem bers of the family. The day was truly a work day for those mem bers who brought sheep, beef and swine to groom, fit, block and put finishing touches on with show manship and judging contests later in the day. 16 lambs, 10 steers and 6 pigs were on hand to work with. These animals were the majority of the group that will be exhibited and sold at the Oregon Wheat Grower's League 4-H fat stock show and sale to be held at The Dalles next week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. During the noon hour with an attendance count, it was round that the Lexington Live stock Club had 100 turnout and won the prize for the biggest turnout, even though the Heppner Hoof and Horn livestock club also were represented by all members. The Lexington livestock club has 16 members compared to 5 In the Heppner club. Also during the noon hour Pur lna trophies won by the club STAR THEATER HEPPNER Thursday, Friday. Saturday, May 31.

He was the only 4-H club member who held this honor, though there were a number of adults who participated in the judging who were close on his heels. Tom Pointer, Lexington; William Rill, Heppner; Jerry An derson, Heppner followed with close scores. At this time of year livestock men are always Interested in first contract sales of lambs and calves which somewhat sets the price for later contracting. In the Lakeview area, last week one thousand head of lambs were con. tracted for 20c to be delivered In late July or early August. They will average about 85 pounds. Another 1200 are to be delivered between August 1 and August 15 at 19&c. Both bunches will go to Salt Lake City. These lambs are out of white face ewes and black face bucks. During the grazing legume tour this week, new grass-legume nur series at the Bernard Doherty and Donald reterson ranches were in spected. These were made in March and April and little could be observed, with the exception of the seedlings vigor and earli ness of some grasses over others. Of particular Interest to those on the tour Tuesday afternoon was the nursery at the Frank Ander-I son farm which was established in the spring of 1952. The forty grasses and legumes which have been seeded In the nursery had eliminated themselves to twenty, five In number. The various grasses were rated according to the remlaning stand and growth at this time. In rating the grass es, consideration was given to the fact that they had been protected from livestock grazing and other use during the entire life. Our rating was made from one to ten, with ten being top. In this top rating was puebscent wheat grass and Shermon big blue. Next in line was Whitmar Beard less wheat with the rating of nine. Standard crested wheat grass, tall wheatgrass and sheep fescue were rated seven. Spike wheatgrass, common orchard grass, dwarf orchard grass, Ida ho fescue and Russian wild rye rated six. Streambank wheat grass, chewings fescue, western wheatgrass, manchar smooth brome and Siberian wheatgrass rated a five. Alta fescue was rated as four, while tall oatgrass and Canby bluegrass rated three. Primar slender wheat and Ken tucky bluegrass a two. In low position, earning a one, were Timothy, perennial rye, and Reeds canary grass. Frank will TOO BAD! The famous last words Of farmer Bill: "My crop Is too poor to Insure for Hail"!
