It Is our desire that the Gazette-Time be the written voice of the county and Its resident. In this con nection, we expert to us' the paper to promote the best Interest of the people and to help In the continuous progress of the county. At the same time we hope that It will reflect the warmth and cordiality for which the people of Morrow county are famous. Tuesday evening, we took a drive to Hardmon and turned off on the lildge Koad. We looked to the west to mountain peaks that were silhouetted by the fiery red of the setting sun. The vastness of Morrow county's green fields stretched all around us. Strips of rich brow n of newly-worked still Interspersed the green. Clusters of neat nnd prosperous farm buildings nestled In shelter ed valleys. As we drove down the gravel road, a doe deer paused at the edge of a lush field of growing wheat to give us at quizzical eye. It came to us In that moment how old timers, like Frank Turner, can spend a lifetime here and love It. By contrast, we can be classed as greenhorns, but already we feel the captlvatlon that must grip nil newcomers who are fond of the wide open space as they come to this Immense country. if -.i I County Agent's Office ?

Two weeks a'o. several of our ranchers including Charlie Daly, Bill and Tom Healy, Mar Ion Finch, and Harold Wright- there might have been others topped their Iambs delivering them to Cohn Livestock Com pany. These Iambs, many of which had access to creep all their lives averaged in the top u-lth nmf polne over 100 jds. umers win top lamos mis week In the same pooling agree ment. This Is the smart way to market farm lambs as when feed begins to dry up lambs will be gin to shrink and lose their milk fat. Even though the price of fat lambs has been disappoint ingly low again this spring we are sure that this Is the top of the market If other years Is an Indication. If farm flock owners have not checked their lambs for weight and finish now would be a good time to top them, Taking advantage of the strong market Silage-making time Is here. For the best quality silage there needs to be balancing of correct practices. One of the more Im portant aspects of silage making is to put it up without juice losses. Forage for silage should be cut at pre-bloom stage of growth to get high protein and digestibility. At this stage the dry matter per cent is about 20, We need 30 to 35 dry matter for the best silage, so either wilt the early cut forage or add grain, chopped hay, or beet pulp. Cows will eat more pounds of dry mat ter daily from the drier silage. 30 dry matter silage stored in trench silos will require good packing, rapid storage and a tight top seal.
