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.

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

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,
