From The County Agent's Office Br If C ANDEBSON A few warm aunny days thl time of year results In a lot of farmlniz activity. With the ad vent of spring comes a lot of calls to this office for recom mended needing rates, sources of seeds, help In planting wind breaks and what have you. Dur ing the past few days farmers putting land Into the conserva tlon reserve have started seeding trass and alfalfa with most uslne five pounds of crested wheat grass with one pound of alfalfa per acre. A lew tnat were making preparations re cently checking for reeommen dntions were Tad Miller, Harold Beach, Lexington; Don Heliker, lone; Harold reck and Darrcll Hams, Heppner. The Heppner Soil Conservation District grass-legume drill being scheduled now with considerable advance reservations mude for It. Kenneth Talmer, Lexington seeded 23 acres of alfalfa early this week with Harold Beach scheduled to use It seeding ap proximately 250 acres of crested wheat grass and alfalfa In Soil Bank. A big acreage of barley Is being reseeded at thia time with the greatest percentage of Flynn barley seeded. Those who seeded Flynn late so that It did not sprout before the cold weather passed saved their stand. Some scattered spraying was done this week on lower Buttercreek. however, weeds have not begun to grow and most farmers are waiting for warmer weather before selective SDravlne of weeds. A lot of fer tilizer is being applied mostly on fields not fertilized last fall because of the lack of good soil moisture with some side dressing beini? done too. Several iana lev cling Jobs have been completed, the latest two being at the W A Rugeles and Harold Huber farms on Willow Creek. This land Is being prepared now to be seeded to hay and pasture. Touring about the county It looks like spring Is here. ed Eastern Oregon as we heard only last week of seed being of fered to some or our iarmers. For those who might be In terested In the crop here Is some characteristics and yield data nrnvfrferl from an old UbUA ' " . bulletin. The plant rcacnes helghth of 2 to 4 feet and has numerous long, heavy, rougn foai-M of dark crcen color. Fic- tures show the plant with leaves somewhat like those of tobacco. The roots are large and fleshy and In a loose soil will reach a depth of 8 to 10 tect. The plant Is hardy, will endure con siderable cold, making a rapid growth when conditions are fav- orable. The plants are repro duced by vegetative methods, either by root division or root cuttings. The plant does bear seeds but the seed is very poor for a germinating ability. The roots are usually planted in rows three feet apart wnn a spacing of 114 to 2 feet In rows. The tops are harvested three to six times a year. The plants are reported lasting 15 to 20 years termed a "great success". At tendance varied but very little with the majority attending all four classes. The soils short course steering committee con sisting of Louis Caruson, Ray mond Lundell. Robert Jepsen nit Orsld Teterson. lone and k'nnneth Turner. Heppner was taucht bv Howard Cushman, ex tension soil specialist, Oregon State College. Lessons dealt with soil profile, nitrogen fertilizers, soli testing, and tillage and management. Visual material consisting of a number of a ser ies of "Know Your Soil" films Tirenared bv the college soils dept and colored slides on tillage practices at the Pe n d 1 e t o n branch experiment station were used in each of the classes. Those attending Indicated a re sire to hold short courses next fall and winter. Preparations are now being made lor scneaunng farm management or livestock management short course for late 1960 and early 1961. Indi cations from ranchers will de termine which will be offered.

I (? u Vwrs tin with the times, ll luxapnene per tanon or iu As a result of recommenda tions of 1900 vegetable varieties In the column inquiries have come to the office as to where these vegetable seeds can be bought. While we have not been able to check all vegetable seed Is even more Important than ever to read and follow Instructions on the label when applying In secticides or herbicides, admin istering harmones or using anti biotics. "Concerning the recent cranberry episode" it has been said that there Is little doubt many crowers who had been nartlrularlv careful, suffered . . misfortune because of the care less actions of a few. In the over all agricultural picture, we hope this will offer a strong reminder to users that a label direction must be followed carefully. During the past week two of our ranchers. E M Baker, lone and Andy Van Scholack. Hep pner have called the office for newest Insecticides and rates used for cattle spraying. Many ranchers have found that old stand by Insecticides have lost their effectiveness due to, we think resistance built up by ex ternal parasites. As we recom mend such sprays as Lindane, Toxaphene, and Malathon, or combinations of more than one of these, many preparations of which are on the market, we need to pay particularly atten tion not to exceed concentration recommended, not to overdose young calves and not to apply these sprays within 3 days oi slaughter. All of the prepar Kunds 25 wettable powder or 1 gallon 57 emullflable con centrate per 100 gallons of water can give you excellent control of lice on beef animals. Wet the animals thoroughly and a gain read the directions. Ian Ward well. Pher!y d Martha Iw.hrrty vrrr ap pointed to see about a model meeting to be held on March 7 ai the Lexington P TA meeting.

RUGGLES INSURANCE AGENCY PHONE S-962S HEPPNER. OREGON BOX 611 A number of feeding and yield , sources In the county those con Three years ago, Rex Warren, farm crops specialist, Oregon State College mailed to all county agents Information on Prlckley or Quaker Comfrey. Comfrey Is a perennial herba cious plant crown as a foraee. The Information was mailed out to provide answers to questions which were being asked by farmers who found a rash of door to door salesmen selling seed of this plant. It appears that these salesmen have now reach trials have been carried out over the years. Several experiment ct.itlnns ninnlnt? feeding trials Halm that thev have had dif ficulty getting cattle to consume the plant. Some have udded salt to eit the animals to start to eat them. Silage trials between Comfrey and corn has found that corn under most conditions is a much better crop than Comfrey for silaee. Morrisons 20th edit ion of Feeds and Feeding makes a briel statement aDoui rncKiey Comfrey. "Prick ley Comfrey, which is occasionally exploited by advertisers is inferior to stan dard forage plants. When care- fnllv cultivated it elves fair yields of forage which is, at first not relished by cattle." ine Ore gon State College conclusion is that Comfrey at present could be listed as a speculation crop. Old yield trials Indicate that other adapted grasses legumes and corn are better forage crops for Oregon. With an average attendance of 39 farmers at each of the four classes, the soil short course which ended last Friday was tacted have Indicated an Interest to order the new varieties in case they do not have them In stock.
