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.

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.
