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

Beach, Lexington; Don Heliker,

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

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

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. If you cannot get these
varieties at your vegetable seed
dealers you mgiht check with
this office.

of the vegetable varieties.
