Thlrtv aeven different Morrow County Farmeri participated In the Farm Management :wion- course which wai held on Feb ruary 1. 2. 8. and 16. These four hour per day worn anop resulted In a lot of comment from those who attended. Those attending the last day were very much Interested In discussing the size of a farm and some of the derisions that must be made In this regard. Colng through a number of typical farms It was Interesting to observe that a cat tle ranch In Eastern Oregon that was expected to return 5 In terest on Investment and a $5,000 labor and management Income should cost $167,000 returning an annual gross Income of $26,821. At least this was the case of an actual ranch which was used as an example. The ranch with 3,500 acre plus grazing rights, was a cow-calf operation run ning 300 head of cows. For those who care little about striving for a high percentage calf crop it was found that for every 1 Increase In the calf crop It af fected labor Income $1500. The price of calves, of course, was an Important part of the oper ation with 22c calves bringing a $3200 labor and management In come. 21c calves $6,000; 20c calves no labor Income. For those who did not get to attend all of the sessions we have a few extra copies of the materials used for discussion here at the office which we will provide on a first come first serve basis. Saturday's Weather Modifica tion Meeting attracted a good sized crowd and created much interest. Dr. Fred Decker, Met eorologist, OSC, presented an In teresting run down of why we have some of the weather that we do. One of the Interesting facts presented was that of the great strides being made In un derstanding our weather better through the photographing of clouds and other weather ma king phenomena which Is now possible by cameras on satel lltes and missiles. Meteorologists havejnade big strides In under standing some of these things since actual pictures have been taken. Dr. Decker suggested that while much was being learned of the possibilities of weather modification that It should be quite beneficial for many farm era in Morrow counry to Keep accurate weather records. .

The economic Importince of spraying to Improve crops was emphasized In a report war. had been found two tarweed plants per square foot will re duce wheat yields five bushels per acre. Experiments have also shown that spraying wheat where no weeds at all couia be found resulted In two to five bushel Increase. County acent. N. C Anderson told the farmers that many of the experiments which had been explained during the days ses alon could be observed in wor row countv. Carbyne plots for the control of rye out of wheat are established at the Jack Sum ner ranch, plots for the selective control of cheatgrass out of wheat are established at both Melvln Moyer ranch, Heppner, and Walter Jacobs farm, lone. On the Howard Cleveland ranch on Hlnton Creek near Hep pner, control of cheat and fox tall from alfalfa Is being dem onstrated by the use of various rates of different chemicals. Chemicals are being compared at the Art Watklns ranch on Willow Creek below Heppner. A roadside spray demonstration has been established on the RIet mann grade north of lone.
