C ANDERSON With rye germinating In many sections of the county It is time to tie thinking atut control measures. Many ranchers rail the office In June after rye In ditches and waste area have headed out asking what to do for control. There Is no positive control for rye after It has reach cd thU stage. A lot of research has been done during the past several years on rye control and there are chemicals that will give complete control cconom Ically. when applied In early staees of growth whtch means that this can be done most any time now. The season for treat lng extends over the next two or three months. Most anyone should then find time to get at this Job if they are concerned with the spread of rye from road side and waste areas In their fields cither by wind, birds, or animals. In the drier areas of the county where rye might not yet have germinated the later date would be recommended. Last year with little winter moisture much rye did not germinate un til spring.

We had an ex rellent control There are a number of ehem Icals which will control annua uted and grasses on highway and road shoulder; slopes to the ditch line and fence lines. The one that we had such good luck with last year was 4 lbs. hon atropine and 2 lbs. W, amitrol and at least 10 gallons cf water per acre. Twenty gal ions Is better In getting a com plete coverage. If there are a lot of broad leaf weeds mixed in with the annual grasses It voukl be wen to add gallon ?-4D ester or amine per acre. Four pounds of Telvar monuron In twenty or more gallons of water per acre, with 2-4D added if they are annual broad leaves, Is also good. Neither will harm perennial grasses when applied at these rates. While we did not get over to the Round-up Polled Hereford Sale held at Pendleton on the eleventh and have not been able to get a complete report on the results of the sale, we know of two good bulls which were pur chased and brought back to Mor row County by our breeders. Pat Cutsforth, Lexington bought the r.'srrvp champion bull while Fritz and Kenneth Cutsforth bought a bull consigned by Gerald Bergstrom of Heppner. Arrangements have been made for at least one event In obser vance of Farm-City Week here In Morrow County. This Is the annual Farm-City Banquet which has been held each year for the past five years co-spon sored by the Heppner-Morrow County Chamber of Commerce and the Heppner Soil Conserva tion District. It Is one means of getting Farm and City people together so that they may know each other and understand each others problems better. This year's banquet will be at the close of Farm-City Week which Is held during the week of Thanksgiving. The banquet is to be held at the St. Patricks Parish Hall, Heppner on Monday even lng, November 28 beginning at G:30 P. M. A number of City and Farm people will be recog nlzed during the event. In order Chals With Your Home Agent Br ESTHER XIRMIS We're celebrating Farm City Week Nov. 19 21. and right away I ran hear you ay. "What Is Farm City Week?" It's a community activity Mwnsored bv In.th rural and urban groups to help create better understanding of each groups problems, prfinunmcs and kind of living. Our big Increase In imputation has caused communication oil ficultles. Many folks today fall to see the Inter dependence vi farm and city group. For a num ber of years many rural people have Ix-cn moving away from the farm Into the urban areas and away from a nasie understand Inn of challenges fared by sup pliers of foods, fats, oils and fiber. Technology Its challenges of surpluses and low prices, has affected the farm. Thus. Farm-City Week obscr vanccs were started s.x years ago to help bring alout a better understanding between the two groups that will In the future undoubtedly blend Into one group. The coordinating agency Is Kiwanis International. Rep resentatives from many proml nant business groups support the Farm City effort. Farm City Facts. It Is fitting that Farm-City Week falls dur ing the Thanksgiving period. We are grateful for the many bless ings that come from agriculture. Farming is looked upon as a special way of life, as well ns a that you won't miss a good meal, a good speaker and the fellow ship of the evening It would be well that you pick up your tickets soon.

Before we complain about food prices, too, we should realize we're eating better than ever be fore; we're one of the best f?d nations in the world; and an hour's factory pay now buys more of almost every food that It did in the days before World War II.
