Evening service 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Young People, 7:45 p.m. Thursday Bible Hour 7:45 p.m. See You At The Fair Next Tuesday, not Wednesday as in past years, our Morrow county fair opens, and we hope that the hundreds of local residents who plan exhibits there will take note of the earlier opening date and have their displays ready. The change in timing was made to prevent serious conflict with another great Eastern Oregon event, the East-West Shrine All Star B football game August 31 in Pendleton. New divisions and classes have been added to this year's premium list which should make It worthwhile for even more of us to enter and be a part of our fair. There is still plenty of time to get an exhibit ready and the more you enter the better our show will be. But. whether you can be an entrant or not, you'll want to see what your neighbor has done during the past year, so we'll be looking for all of you next Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. There's a big welcome mat our for everyone . . . come join in the fun. See You At The Fair! ODD ENDS It isn't every day this newspaper comes up with a law that counfounds the lawyers, but a couple of weeks ago we did . . . and several have been trying to figure out since what we were talking about. j We refer to the law we said was passed by j the last legislature concerning the licensing of peddlers. According to our information, the law was to go into effect within the next few days, and several affected persons have been trying to find out more information about it. Deep delving into the new laws failed to reveal any, even slight, mention of the regulation, and several people, including us, were beginning to think maybe we got off the track somewhere, but yesterday our DA, Bob Abrams, finally got us off the hook and also found out that Morrow.county, and probably about 35 other Oregon counties have been missing the boat for quite a while. As it turned out, the law was passed by the 1055 legislature and went into effect in July or August of that year but apparently nobody knewt it With that delving into the intracies of state statutes, we will no doubt let our law interests lie for a while we sort of feel we've done our good deed for the day, even though our timing was a couple of years off. Even at that, it looks as though we were fast er than a lot of other reporters, whether by mrs--take or otherwise. J. O. Turner and family have left the ranch for a time and are preparing to spend the winter in the Willamette valley perhaps In Salem where Mr. Turner will take up the study of law and Mrs. Turner will pursue her studies in music.

C Anderson With the Morrow county fair to start Tuesday morning, August 27, this is the last opportunity for reminding all farm and towns people that it is your exhibits that make a good county fair. This is the opportunity for every one to "show off" products they have raised and made during the year. It Is a time for a friendly spirit of competition. We hope that everyons will have numer ous exhibits at the fair and will spend some time visiting with neighbors watching the judging TO THE EDITOR . . . Dear Mr. Penland: I presume a few of your readers have been faced at times with the problem of making decisions. It was with great regret that I found that I would be unable to continue as manager of the Hepp ner Branch of the Bank of Eastern Oregon as first contemplated and therefore tendered my resigna tion to the directors prior to the opening date of the bank. My sole reason for this deci sion was to accept a promotion in my line of work with the Federal Government agency of the Small Business Administration at Boise, Idaho, and the opportunity of re turning to that area where my family have lived since the year 1802 It has been a pleasure to assist the officers, employees, and dir ectors in setting up the Heppner Branch of the Bank of Eastern Oregon in which I shall always maintain a keen Interest. I wish to extend my best wishes for the success of the bank which I know they shall attain and to thank the stockholders for their wholehearted support and their continued support of the bank. It has been delightful meeting with old friends and renewing ac quaintances of some 20 years standing. We shall always have a deep affection for Morrow coun ty its people, traditions and wel fare. Respectfully, Estis L. Morton and compare quality of exhibits with their own. We will see you all at the county fair on Tues day, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Don't forget the 4-H style revue on Wednesday evening at the fair pavilion, the 4-H live stock auction sale at the live stock Judging arena Thursday evening as well as the activities throughout the day. Last week the last of the wheat fertilizer experiment plots were harvested. Summaries there fore could be completed for the responses to various amounts of fertilizer In summing up the fertility trials In Morrow county Dr. Cleveland Girard soil scient ist working out of the Pendleton branch experiment station com mented that the veriability on the trials in Morrow county this year seemed to be greater than in previous years. For the most part there was a lack of great response to nitrogen application in 1956 1957 In these plots. In fact on the Burton Peck farm there was a marked reduction by application of nitrogen fertilizer. The wheat was definitely shriveled by hot weather. Results on the Max Bar clay Stefani and Son, Oscar Pet erson arms showed a great deal of veriability. It was noted, how ever that the stands of wheat might have been partly respons ible for the lack of response for the lack of response on Max Barclay's and Stefani and Son's locations. The barley plot on Osc ar Peterson's was badly lodged and showed extreme veriability. Residual study on the Don Hel iker and D. O. Nelson farms show ed some response to nitrogen Mr. and Mrs. Orville Rasmus spent their two weeks vacation at Blue Mountain Springs in Grant county. fertilizer that was applied in 1555 particularly at the high rates of nitrogen. Getting into the actual yield comparison the barley plot which is the first year that fertilizer trials have been run on barley showed that the unfertilized or check plot yielded 41.2 bushels or at the highest yield with the ex ception of 60 lbs. of nitrogen, spring aplied. The difference was only two uushels however, which of course, would not pay for the cost of the nitrogen. Due to the extreme lodging conditions in the nitrogen plots however, it was impossible to harvest all of the barley which would account for the difference. In some of the in dividual plots yields ran as high as 49 bushels however, did not average this over the entire plot. The variety of barley had some thing to do with the yield also as Olympia was grown in the plot. This variety this year lodged badly and heads snapped so that yields were reduced. At the Max Barclay and Stefani and Son! farms the check plot where no nitrogen was applied yielded al most as much as any of the plots treated with nitrogen at various rates. While small increases were shown in some cases they were not economically feasible. At the Burton Peck farm the check plot yielded 30.5 bushels per acre which was 3 bushels more than any of the treated plots and as much as 15 . bushels in 102 lb, treatment. This plot yielded 14.3 and the test weight was only 53.4 pounds per bushel. At the Kenneth Smouse farm 20 pounds of nitrogen yielded approximate ly the same. At the Harold Evans ranch the 20 If), application was the most economical rate. A de tailed reports of the yield will be mailed to wheat farriers later, o Need Letterheads?
