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
