Native Meadows Native mea dows composed of a mixture of rushes, sedges, grasses, and le gumes will double or triple hay yields with proper fertilization, the leaflet states. Nitrogen is pegged as the main key to mea dow hay production. Recommen ded rates and application time are given. Phosporus also gives a good boost when meadows con tain legume. Application rates are keyed to soil tests. Sulfur has also stimulated legume growth in most areas. Irrigated Pastures (Eastern Oregon) Recommendations deal primarily with application rates and timing for nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus with the latter keyed to soil tests. Po tassium, lime, and boron are dis cussed but are rarely needed. Fertilizer Needs For Hay Crops, Posture Outlined Eastern Oregon farmers can now get a quick picture of fer tilizer needs for hay crops and pasture with a new series of fertilizer recommendations pub lished by the Oregon State col lege extension service. Fertilizer needs based on OSC field trials are spelled out for Eastern Oregon alfalfa, native rr.adows, and irrigated pastures on seperate one-page leaflets. : Recommendations were pre pared by OSC soil conservation specialists Howard Cushman and Arthur S King. Copies of the leaflets. "Ore gon State College Fertilizer Rec ommendations," are available from county extension offices or the OSC bulletin clerk, Corvallis. Farmers and ranchers can re quest leaflets by the following titles: Alfalfa (Eastern Oregon) Field experiments show that al falfa will generally respond to applications of sulphur, phosph orus, boron, and in a few cases to lime.

Dr Richard M Highsmith Jr of the department of natural re sources prepared the Atlas, as sisted by an advisory committee diawn from various departments in the school of agriculture. The tremendous diversity of Oregon's agriculture, resulting from its regional differences of climate, topography, and soils is emphasized by the Atlas, first of its kind to be published for the state. Oregon has more than 21,000, 000 acres in farms, just over one-third of its total 61,641,600 acres, the Atlas notes. One quar ter of the farm land is used for crops, one half for pasture, and the final one quarter in wood land, most of which is also used for pasture. About 30 percent of the croplands are irrigated. Oregon's all-time high number of farms was 64.S26 in 1935. Since then, the number has de creased to 54.441 in the 1954 census, latest accurate count Meantime, the average size of farms has increased from 267 acres to 386 acres. The average value of land and buildings per farm in 1934 was S27,?S9. Crop and livestock totals are given in seperate sections. Sev enty maps are included in the 42-page book. Copies of the Atlas will be sold through the Oregon State College Bookstore for SI each. IN THE SADDLE . . . With The Wronglers By JOHN NEWMAN Correction in third place In the musical rope race at the Beamer playday, it was Kite Healy Instead of Bruce Lindsay. Sunday we played with the Sage Riders at Hermiston. . . . maybe I should say they with us. We had them tied at the half but while they warmed their horses in a drill, ours had to stand and cool off losing in terest Then they went right in to the scurry race. That team has good horses, good horsemen and someone in there who knows how to give them the breaks. That is an organized team from them we can learn. Too bad we don't have a drill team at this time. I was going to give the win ners but I don't have a complete list. We will try to give a better account of the winner when they j play here. I There were a lot of empty ! seats at the meeting last night and a lot of business to attend to. It seems no one but the queen and her court has time to rep ' rppnt iks at the Pea Festival this week. The 18th we are to play at the grounds instead of the Dougherty Dilly Duster this year. I hate to keep mentioning work days, but I know of no other way to use up the poles and posts that will rot lying around on the ground. Two or three good turnouts would set the posts, nail up the poles and paint the buildings. Then we would be ready to use it with confidence and label it Morrow County Wranglers Playground with some degree of pride. I was going to the Pea Festival Sat urday but I wouldn't get as much enjoyment out of it with this job unfinished, and the fish won't bite as readily either. Let's get the darned thing finished and off our mind I'll be there Saturday. I neglected getting the names of the eight applicants who are now new member;. Welcome folks!

LEXINGTON IMPLEMENT CO. LEXINGTON. OREGON A Few Decades Past . . . -i Ml ''? ' : fir ? v J i 1 - i n A NEWSPAPER WAS A RARITY IN MANY AMERICAN COMMUNITIES! Then a newspaper was a thing to be marveled at !cr memories cf the Press' fight for freedom were fresh in mind. Although newspapers are common in cur country today, their existence should not be taken for granted. It is a wonderful fact that al most all cf cur modem communities have their own hometown newspapers, freely edited by members cf their cwn communities spreading the news, stimulating the business cf the community, end keeping their readers informed cf important events elsewhere. It is well to keep in mind that a free press end a free peop'.e are an unbeatable team. . . . . IV.
