Air. Iroedson Is one of the success ful ranchers In that area whose theory is that you must take care of what you have and Im prove it as you go along, lie says that the deep soil of the north part of the county is the only asset they have and II you can store moisture and provide suf ficient plant food the land will yield well. He is doing Just that His practice of double summer fallow has resulted in some of the top yields in the county, was evidenced recently when yields were established by farms lor the 1962 farm program, ver ner is laying plans now to es tablish strips on his ranch to pro tect his ranch from a possibility of wind erosion in years of light stubble. With a combination of windstrip cropping and chemical summerallow to retain much of his stubble he will be able to double summerfallow regardless of the weather. He believes that the strips in addition to pro viding protection from the wind will be an asset in weed and fire control. For further protec tion he is building a combination sprayer-f ireflghting piece of equipment this year in his farm shop so that he can spray road sides and waste areas as welli as his fields to prevent further I baking spread of weeds. county wheat growers carry the ball with their husbands when It comes to promoting the sale of wheat The state convention of the Orccon Wheat League Is ached uled in Pendleton this year for November 30, December 1 and 2, at the National Guard Armory.
