From The County Agent's Office By N C ANDERSON Several days ago we received In this office a list of the class es which would be offered this year at the Washington State College short course. The list in eluded over 150 different lecture and laboratory periods with more than 80 guest professors to par ticipate. The short course will bo held this year during the week of December 6. Those from Morrow county who have attend ed this short course In the past years have felt It one of the most worthwhile events they have par ticipated in. An example of some of the short course classes In clude antibiotic feeding of loose salt to control diseases, princi ples of genetics for the purebred breeder, the changing need for minerals in stock feeding, lamb feeding, producing meat hogs from inbreds, breeding better livestock, how to develop a range improvement program, lowering the Incidence of bloat, special wool school, range seeding reas ons for success or failure, fer tility school, soil testing, Can adian experience with artificial insemination on range, new for age crops, their development, re lease and recommended ' man agement; virus diseases of cat tle, pasture and pasture man agement, farm house remodeling, and many, many more just as Interesting. A number of ranch ers have Inquired at the office on the p'artlculars of the 6hort course. We would be glad to pro vide further Information for other interested persons. Recent reminder from Ralph Clark, Oregon State College ex tension horticulturist, suggests that rose bushes be planted In the fall so they will have the op portunity to develop a good root system and consistently out bloom those planted In the spring. Before pla n 1 1 n g the ground should be prepared deep and thoroughly. Spread the roots out well, setting the plant at approximatoiy the same depth it grew in the nursery. Plant firmly and water well, so that no air pockets remain around the roots. This week all of our farm poo pie should have received In the mall a farm census form which will be used in taking the 1959 agricultural census. We would suggest that you sit down soon, look this over, and fill out the form as completely as possible, Later the census taker will con tact you to pick up the complct .i i t t-u lorm anu neip you II you have questions.

As a result of the wheat and barley nursery trial at the Frank Anderson farm, discussed in this column two weeks ago, a num ber of office and phone calls have been received regarding some of the varieties grown. Most Interest was shown in the yields of two barleys, Hudson and a Moro selection.

It is grown extensively in the east and to some extent in Ohio and Illinois, It has been grown at the Sher man branch experiment station at Moro for seven years. It's yield appears to be better than Olympia and its winter hardiness about as good. It was severely winter damaged in 1956. The sta tion is not willing to recommend Hudson over Alpine as yet. Al pine is more winter hardy, stif fer strawed and more shatter resistant than Hudson. Hudson is somewhat earlier maturing than Alpine. Seed iias not been gen erally available. The Moro sel ection is a high yielding variety when it does not winter kill. It requires a good blanket of snow to protect it. The station does not consider releasing it until they have more years of experience with its winter hardi ness. Bill Hall, superintendent at the station, advises within the past three years some very good looking winter barley varieties have come from Purdue and Mis souri. These will be placed in our nurseries next year. He ad vises also that there are some hybrid barleys from crosses made at Corvallis which should have good chance of , producing a satisfactory variety. It appears By Jackie years and several Three months ago, some citizens brought forth upon this commun lty a new sport, conceived for fun and dedicated to the prop osition that all golfers are creat ed equal. Now we are engaged in this great pastime, testing whether this golfer or any golfer so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. (And at this point in the game I think sev eral of us are beginning to won der.) Our ladies day Tuesday, seem ed to be a day of dedication to Willow Creek and the swamps, for it seemed no one wanted to play the "fairway" and we were penalized numerous strokes for 'illegal use of hands". (Could be said we also were searching for the perverbial missing "links" for we could never seem I to find the middle of the fair way.) The so-called female golf ers were Marguerite Chapin, Sue Valentine, Hazel Mahoney, Gene Case, Cork Norene, DeP Gribble, Irene Wilson, Coramae Ferguson, Marie McQuarrie, Faye Ruhl, Vi Lanham, and myself. New golf balls were awarded to Cork for having the lowest not score (that's with your handicap sub tracted from your gross score) and Coramae for having the least number of putts.

"Seemed a fine idea to me," Red Davis told me later, "so I showed the ad to my wife. Told her she'd learn how to do new things mote efficiently, too." "liut all she did was look at me and smile," Red continued. " 'You men,' she said, 'always thinking of more work for women. Learn new tilings?

The range improvement pro gram which we have mentioned in this column as planned for the Wilkinson and Rugg ranch operations got underway last week. First seeding operation was on mountain range with the use of the grass land drill, seed ing alta fescue, intermediate wheatgrass and nomad alfalfa on depleted rangeland. The mod ified grassland drill is being used to prepare seedbed and seed all in one operation. George Rugg will continue to make such seedings as long as weather per mits this fall. Cooperating with George this office established last week a grass legume nurs ery at marker s Miu. ine nurs ery contains 50 different varieties of grasses and legumes which will be compared for adapta bility to the area, winter hardi ness and palatability. Among the varieties being compared are 11 wheatgrasses, 4 bluegrasses, 4 bromegrasses, 4 fescues, 6 al falfa and 5 clovers, meadow fox tail, orchard grass and tall oat grass were some of the other grasses seeded in the nursery.

ODDS AND ENDS: Our thanks to Dee for taking the time and effort to figure the handicaps for our gal golfers, which are now posted on the bulletin board . . . Ed Bennett, Lester Doolittle, and N D Bailey are three of our most avid golfers, for I think they must play at least nine holes every day of the week . . . overheard that Sunday the four some of Marie and Clint Mc Quarrie, Dee Gribble and Ned Sweek had their troubles with the no 4 hole and that all in all it just wasn't their day for golf ... the railroad has put up "right-a way" markers in the no 1 and no 2 fairways, and be lieve me they are aptly named for they are "right in the way" (just ask Coramae). The 'ol tea pot has just about perked dry for this week, so un til next tee time when I'll have a fresh cup of tee talk; stay with it golfers and maybe we'll "iron" out our troubles by "put ting" along with grim determin ation and "wood" be confidence. k&vm tit mrW?

We had a good brought some of their specimens for us to see. George Miller had several trays of arrowheads, gem cabochons, and miniature tools made of jade; and Joe Baltrinus showed us some very interest ing specimens real conversation pieces. Sheriff and Mrs Bauman brought a limb cast and the Babbs did some sawing on it the next day. Reports are that the cut showed a hollow center framed like a window with beautiful black and brown mossy dendrites in the clear iris frame. What is a dendrite? Webster says a dendrite is a branching, treelike mark made by one min eral crystallizing in another.

Kenneth Smouse was the 5th high individual judge for the P I contest. He was competing against 150 other judges. I think Kenneth should be congratula ted for his fine performance. First place individual judge was Barbara Wittmer from Crook county with 737.5 points. Smouse in 5th place was close behind with 694.8 points.

OREGON 2 HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, ing, our program chairman, Ran- dall Peterson, gave a very in formative talk on opals. Since opals have a 6-10 water con tent, the tendency is for them to fracture after they are dug and exposed to the air due to rapid dehydration. One suggestion to prevent this is to coat the opals with olive oil as soon as possible after they have been dug. There are different kinds of fire opals with the black opals being the most expensive. Opals are very beautiful, among the most beaut iful of the gem stones, but be cause they are soft they do not tolerate a lot of abuse as they can scratch and fracture. Doc and Mrs Babb showed some lovely colored slides of their rock hunting trips last win ter in Arizona. One slide showed Mrs Babb talking to a man named Orval Ewing who tra vels around the country in his covered wagon.
