ion rates are listed. Soil tests
are recommended before appli
cation of phosporus, boron, and
lime. Tests rarely show need for
potassium. Nitrogen rates are
given for establishing new
stands.
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. Recommended applicat-
OSC Publishes
Oregon Atlas
Of Agriculture
OREGO N STATE COLLEGE
An "Atlas of Oreeon Aericul-
ture" that outlines state land
and water resources, farm oper
ations, crops and livestock, and
marketing and processing facil
ities has been published by the
Oregon State college agricultur
al experiment station.
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! You are now entitled to
turn out on the wovk days.

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.
