Single Copy 10 Cents. From The County Agent's Office By N. C Anderson We hope callers at the office will notice the new remodeling job just completed. While it was quite trying at times during the past three weeks while the re modeling was going on we are proud of our office arrangement now. New paint brightens up the interior as does a new floor cov ering. A change of partitions bet er organizes the office for carry ing out the business and our new cabinets provide space for a lot of bulletins and material which hereto-for cluttered up the office, tables and files. We invite you to inspect the improvements. This Sunday morning at the time that these items are being written a number of Morrow county 4-H club members are pre. paring to leave for the Oregon Wheatgrowers League sponsored Fat Stock show and sale at The Dalles. Attending from Morrow county with exhibits will be, with steers:: Russel Dolven, Kenneth Smouse, Carol Ann Palmer, Karl Beach, Roland Ekstrom, Jerry An derson, Connie Anderson, Gary Van Blokland and Billy Doherty. Lambs will be exhibited by Doug las, David, Connie and Jerry An derson, Karl Beach, Tommy and Jimmy Martin. There will also be six steers by that many FFA members from Morrow county. While the numbers of livestock going to this show this year are the fewest of any year from Mor row county the quality is good. Members exhibiting will partici pate in the livestock judging con-i tests, showmanship contests as well as the regular exhibit and the fat stock sale. Lambs and pigs will be sold Wednesday aft. ernoon with the steers sold Wed nedslay evening. Parents of the exhibitors and others intrested in 411 club work will be on hand to watch our Morrow county club members perform. For those wheat growers who have been quite concerned with the infestation with leaf hoppers this spring we have had word from Robert Every, entomologist specialist, OSC, concerning the number of leaf hoppers which might be detrimental to the crop. Willie not too much is known exactly on the number of leaf hoppers required to cause damage affecting the yield it has been agreed it would take a lot of leaf hoppers to affect the crop espec ially in a year like this where the foliage is so heavy. For those who feel that the leaf hop pers are doing damage which will affect the wheat an application of DDT at the rate of 2 pounds actual per acre has given good control of leaf hoppers. Parathion would also be affective and might be preferable if aphids were pres ent. I have not found any aphids present in the fields that I have inspected, however there are some in neighboring counties. An application of 4 ounces of actual Parathion per acre would be the recommended dosage. For those who have not used Parathion it is suggested that you find out about this deadly Insecticide be fore it is used by Inexperienced applicator. Applications for the control of leaf hoppers would per haps be made If damage was so great that the majority of the leaf surface was injured to pre vent normal function of the leaf in carrying the plant through to maturity. Jerry B r o s n a n, Buttercreek rancher, who runs a small band of ewes is feeling pretty good these days over an incident that occured last summer. The par. ticulars leading up to Jerry's good fortune don't happen very often according to a number of good sheepmen we have talked to dur. ing the past several months. A year ago one of the Brosnan rams was found out of the pasture and in with the ewe flock. Not much was thought of this at the time until last November when some of the ewes began to lamb. Even though all of the ewes had been nursing a good lamb crop, ap proximately 60 of these ewes were bred while nursing lambs in June. Seventy odd lambs were born in late fall. A couple of weeks ago the wether lambs from these ewes were marketed in Portland. Twenty-seven wethers averaged a bit over 101 pounds and brought $22.33 net per lamb. Twenty, three sold for 23c a pound, four for 21c a pound. Forty-one ewe lambs were kept for replacements. At the time of shearing these lambs were carrynig so much wool that they were sheared. Two hundred twenty-eight pounds were sheared from the 41 ewe lambs. We are wondering if this is not somewhat of a record for annual production from a flock of sheep, Two crops of lambs have been marketed within a year. Jerry was feeling pretty happy about this after returning from Portland when the lambs were marketed, his only wish was that there would have been more rams to get out of the pasture last June. Morrow County Livestock Growers association in their project of building livestock corrals at the rodeo grounds in Heppner. Rodeo holding pens between the an nouncing stand and the creek have been removed within the last couple of days with the actual construction of the corrals under way. By the end of this week the corral will begin to shape up. Livestock scales and special gates have been ordered and are ex pected to arrive soon. At least a part of the sheepmen are plan ning to deliver lambs at market time next month to the corrals. Cost of the project is being cov. ered by voluntary contributions from livestock growers. In a national referendum June 20, wheatgrowers themselves will make the final decision on whether wheat marketing quotas will be in effect next year. At least two-thirds of those who vote must favor quotas if they are to he in operation. If quotas are ap. proved, all farmers in commercial wheat states with more than 15 THIRTY YEARS AGO From the files of the Gazette Times June 16, 1927 Rev. and Mrs. Stanley Moore and Mrs. Helen Walker and Mrs. Lena Coleman departed early Monday for Cove, taking with them several members of the Episcopal Sunday school.
