Now Is the time to make a
thorough inspection of stoves and
furnaces and to allow time for
repair or adjustment before heavy
use. Where wood is used for fuel,
soot may be thick in the chim
neys and smoke pipes and should
be removed. It is also a good
time to check for cracks and
holes in the pipes and chimneys
and have mortar Joints Inspected
and repaired. Dirty and defec
tive chimneys are among the
leading causes of fires. Chimneys
that are not regularly cleaned
may develop a chimney fire re
sulting in sparks that could Ignite
the house or adjacent buildings.

The U. S. Sheep Experiment
Station and the Western Sheep
Breeding Laboratory at Dubois,
Idaho, have recently announced
their annual Ewe and Ram Sale
for September 27. It will begin
at 10 o'clock a. m. and will be
held at the station headquarters.
165 head of Columbia ewes, 360
head of Targhee and 335 Ram
bouillet ewe lambs to mature
pwps will be sold. Part are regis
tered while some are not eligible
for registration. There are also a
big selection of Columbia, Tar
ghee, and Rambouillet Rams. All
of the rams have a complete re
cord indicating whether they
were twins or singles, tne neece
weight, on a green and clean
basis, the staple, body weigni,
and an index for each animal.
Those who might be interested,
can see a complete list at this oi-fice.
The largest agreement ever ne
gotiated for thp sale of United
States farm products under title
i of nuhlle law 480 was reached
with the government of India on
August 29. The agreement pro
vides for the sale of some 360
million dollars worth of surplus
farm products to India. Wheat
will make up the biggest part of
the sale. India agreed to pur
chase 200 million dollars worth
of wheat or about 130 million
bushels. This represents more
than 15 of the total quantity of
wheat held by the U. S. Govern
ment on August 1. The second
largest item included in the sale
is 500,000 bales of Cotton or 40
million dollars worth. Announce,
ment of the big sale of Wheat
to India boosted winter wheat
prices one to three cents.
Wheat farmers are reminded
that Rex is still on the list of dis
counted wheats named by the
USDA. There are twenty-three
wheat varieties throughout the
wheat producing states named as
undesirable because of inferior
milling or baking qualities. While
there was very little Rex grown
in Morrow county in 1956, some
was produced. Reports are that
this was sold on the open market
without a discount. This should
not be misconstrued to mean that
all Rex produced will not be dis
counted. Millers can use a limt
ted amount of these undesirable
varieties for blending. This holds
true on the unnamed variety
which was produced in Morrow
County on a limited scale known
as Forty-fold and by some other
names. This variety has many
undesirable characteristics and
will harm the wheat market from
this area if large quantities move
to millers.
THIRTY YEARS AGO

One of the most successful
hunts reported in Heppner was
that of a party of seven who went
out to Indian Creek last Thurs
day ana returned Tuesday witn
seven buck deer scalps. Making
up the party were Bernie Gaunt,
Bub and Ed Clark and nephew
Earl Hamilton of The Dalles, Pete
Shively, Martin Reid and Paul
Gammell.
Intermittant rain and shine
yesterday, with considerable
wind, has put the Rodeo grounds
and streets in fine feather, and
though cloudy this morning pros
pects are for better weather the
last two days of the Rodeo.
Miss Eva Wilcox, queen of the
Rodeo, proved herself full worthy
of all the honors possible to be
stow upon her when she probably
saved the life of Ted McMillan of
Lexington Monday morning.

Demand for the new hard
white winter wheat, Burt, has
hpen heavv. Where Morrow
countv was alloted 2,000 bushels
of this seed originally, requests
have been made during tne past
week for two additional alloca
tions. One of 200 bushels, and one
of 150 bushels, maklne a total of
2,350 bushels now allocated to
our prowers. There Is no add!
tional seed available for alloca
tion at this time, however, there
is the possibility that some
mleht be available after other
counties have secured their
needs.
We are still in need of co-
noorators for wheat fertilization
plots to be put on late this
month. Kenneth Smouse and Har
old Evans have indicated their
interest in a plot. Plots are 110
by 200 feet. Various rates of ap
plication, both spring and fall
will hp aDDlied on twelve differ
ent plots. The plot is needed with
the remainder of tne neio Dy me
farmer, with harvesting of the
plots done bv the special machine
nmvtflpd hv Orpcon State College.
Those who might be interested
in such a plot should contact tnis
office soon..
