Jt wa Interesting lo hear how

throughout the atate.
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.

Precision Feeding for

Nutrients must be within reach of the
natural growth pattern of feeder roots if
they're to be used by the plant. The Shell
Nitrojection Service I provide places
nitrogen in a broad vein where it is readily
available to roots. And it stays there,
because Shell NHj is amnionic nitrogen, tad
won't leach away. The depth, spread, and
staying power of Shell" NHj injected in the
root zone, are your best assurance of propel
(and profitable) nitrogen fertilization
for your crop.

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.
Results of these many experi
ments being carried on by farm
ers of the area will prove bene
ficial In providing knowledge for
increasing yields on the farms
of the county.
