Many times farmers are crit icised by towns and city people because of agricultural support programs. This Is particularly rue with the wheat farmer be cause of the large quantities of wheat being stored. While many years farmers take out loans on wheat they sell It at a higher market price liquidating this loan. Regular Interest rates are paid to the Commodity Credit Corporation for loaning them the money on the grain. This year there will be only a small per cent of wheat and barley under loan taken over by Commodity Credit Corporation as farmers have sold on the market much of this loan grain by this time. These same non-farm people should know that millions of dol lars worth of agricultural com modities acquired by the Com modity Credit Corporation under price support programs are ex changed for strategic and other materials. Barter contracts val ued at $15.2 million were neg otiated by CCC in the July-September, 1960 quarter, compared to $04.9 million in the preceed- ing quarter and $34.4 million In the same quarter a y ear earl er. Farm crops exported under barter In July September, 19G0 Included 7 million bushels of wheat. 6.3 million pounds of to baeco. 3.4 million bushels of corn. 3 million bushels of barley, and 12 million hundred weight of grain sorghums. Other farm commodities so ex oorted Included cotton, rye, rice dry milk and butter.

Sunday at 5 and 7:30 Rainfall records received at the office for the month of Dec. showed that generally all com munities have received about three-quarters of an Inch even though some of It is In small amounts which would do little good. I think that everyone should be quite thankful that the rains that came last week didn't do as they did In Sher man county. Coming up Fullton Canyon into Wasco last Saturday morning thousands and thou sands of tons of soil had been washed from wheat fields In Sherman county with a heavy rain that fell on frozen ground, Many people In Morrow county were holding their breath in fear that just such a situation would occur here. We have had a great amount of response to the news item in last weeks column reminding farmers that the 1961 tax guide was now available here. While many farmers have picked up this helpful bulletin during the last week we have many more copies available. At this time of the year we have many calls at the office for Information on pruning of trees. Fruit and shade trees can be pruned now keeping in mind that each serve a different pur pose and pruning should be done accordingly. Very little pruning should be done on shade trees, limited only to their shape and the possibility that they might be getting into telephone or elec tric wires. Serving the purpose as a shade tree, the more growth the better. With fruit trees they should be opened up in the center so that the sun can get In, ripening the fruit and getting rid of excess branches that provide foliage only instead of putting this growth to production of fruit There are many who ask about the pruning of ornamental trees. While ornamentals are not nor mally pruned heavily, if at all, now Is a good time to do that which may be necessary. IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE Oh, merchant, in thine hour of eee.
