Tax Guides, Record
Books Available Now
By N. C. ANDERSON
From the number of calls we
have received from farmers ask
ing for a copy of the 1963 Farm
er's Tax Guide, it is evident that
this publication has been of
some value in preparing income
tax returns in the past. We are
sorry that the Tax Guides have
been so long in coming but the
Internal Revenue Service just
didn't get them mailed until a
month later than usual. We now
have a copy for you at the office.
While we are talking about
income tax returns we would
like to remind you that good
farm records are a "must," not
only in preparing income tax re
turns but for analysis of your
farm business. There are many
sources of good farm record
books now available. We carry
a supply of record books for in
ventories, cash farm and accrual
type record keeping. These are
available at cost from this office.
Credit to be -Analyzed
On Farm Reserve Study
Several Morrow county ranch
ers will be contacted later this
month by a representative of the
Department of Agricultural Eco
nomics, OSU, who will be in the
Columbia Basin to collect data
for a research project headed by
Dr. Grant Blanche. The research
project is aimed at determining
the marginal productivity of cre
dit as used in program and farm
adjustments and some of the
factors explaining why farmers
do or do not use credit in their
farm operations in the Columbia
Basin. Smaller farms will be
chosen to establish some typical
budgets from which the analy
sis will be done. Since this infor
mation is needed in order to ser
vice our agriculture we hope that
those who are contacted will pro
vide the information desired-
Types of Windbreaks Compared
In Lexington Ranch Operations
A visit was made to the Lind
say ranch in the North Lexing
ton community last week to as
sist Larry in laying out a wind
break to protect the ranch build
ings. Larry, who was recently
released from the Air Force, is
actively operating the ran c h
with his mother and is interest
ed in making some ranch im
provements including a wind
break at this time.
In order that Larry might get
an idea of what to expect from a
windbreak a visit was made to
the Glenn Campbell and Max
Barclay ranches where examples
of good planning and care have
resulted in excellent windbreaks.
Larry was impressed by the
twelve to fifteen foot pine as
well as locust and caragana
glowing in the nine-year-old
windbreak at the Campbell
ranch which has been irrigated
to hasten its growth.
At the Max Barclay ranch
rapid growth of a four-year-old
windbreak has been accredited
to a job of cultivation. Larry will
establish a four row windbreak
using caragana, Russian olive,
honey locust and pine.
While visiting the ranch we
were pleased to see the excellent
gains and thrift inoss of cattle in
the feed lot. Larry is happy with
the new set of scales which he
installed at the feedlot this fall
and has made good use of these
in weighing in and making per
iodic checks on the gain of these
feedlot cattle. This is the second
year that the Lindsays have fed
ineir carves out in tnis newiy
censtructed feedlot and are well
pleased with this added enter
prise. Wheat Regains Top Spot
In State Crop Values
Value of crops produced in
Oregon during the 1962 season
was placed at nearly 253 million
dollars, abou 8 higher than the
previous year. Both higher aver
age prices and higher yield fig
ured in the increase. Wheat re
gained top spot in terms of
value, pushing hay to second
position. The ten leading crops
this season are wheat, hay, bar
ley, potatoes, snapbeans for pro
cessing, pears, strawberries, rye
grass seed, cherries and oats.
These ten crops accounted for
nearly three-fourths of Oregon's
1962 crop value.
A report on wheat varieties
grown in 1962 is interesting.
Brevor accounted for about 36
of the 1962 crop wheat received
at Pacific Northwest elevators by
December 1. Omar was second
with 33 and Burt was third
with 12. Elgin accounted for
4 and Marfed for 3. Golden,
Idaed, Bart, Turkey and Itana
followed in the order named.
There were marked shifts in var
ieties from 1962 because of the
serious infestation of stripe rust
which plagued the entire north
west in 1961. As a result of this
growers sought seed of rust re
sistant strains. Because Omar
was one of the high susceptible
varieties percentage grown in
1962 decreased from 59 to 33.
On the other hand Brevor which
proved to be resistant to rust
rose from 13 of the 1961 crop
to 36 in the 1962 crop.
Mineral Supplement needed
For Younger Livestock
We frequently hear the com
ment made that it is not
necessary to provide livestock
with minerals other than what
they can acquire through a
normal, feeding program. This is
true to some extent, however it is
necessary in most instances to
supply additional calcium, phos
phorus, iodine and salt.
In visiting with a number of
ranchers who have had exper
ience in feeding this simple min
eral mixture many report that
especially the younger stock
consumed quite a little, in fact
in some cases a great quantity.
If animals eat this mineral it is
an indication that they crave it
for body needs. Some animals
will eat more than others since
body requirements are different.
.Since the appetites of livestock
will vary it is desirable to make
minerals available in separate
containers so animals consume
them as they desire. By this we
mean that the steam bone meal
should not be forced upon an
animal through its intake of
iodized salt or vice versa.
Peace Corps Examinations Set
Next examination for Peace
Corps applicants is January 26.
This examination will be held
throughout the state with Pend
leton being designated for this
area. Recruiting is now under
way for applicants to serve in
the 4-H Peace Corps project.
There are openings now in Latin
America with training to begin
April 1; in East Africa with
training to begin June 15 and
Brazil, training to begin July 15.

Diversion Plan
Getting Results,
Chairman States
Farmer participation in the
1961 and 1962 feed grain pro
grams is bringing about a one
third reduction in feed grain
stock, R. E. Schedeen, chairman,
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Oregon State com
mittee, states. By next October
1, feed grain stocks are expected
to be about 28 million tons be
low the 84.7 millton-ton level
of October 1, 1961, as a result
of participation in the 1962
wheat stabilization program.
The chairman cited these solid
achievements in bringing pro
duction into line with need
through the diversion of wheat
and feed grain acreage to con
serving uses. By participating in
the diversion programs, the
farmer earns a diversion pay
ment and a price-support pay
ment, and he also qualifies for
a regular price-support loan or
purchase agreement on his cron.
The signup period for 1963
crop corn, grain sorghum, barley,
and wheat in spring wheat
areas under the voluntary feed
grain and wheat stabilization
programs has been set for Feb
ruary 1 through March 22, 1963.
The signup period for wheat in
winter wheat areas ended De
cember 14.
"We hope," Schedeen said,
"that between now and the time
for filing program application,
farmers will get all the facts
about the diversion programs,
and then plan their 1963-crop
production around the programs.
These 1963 programs provide a
means of making further pro
gress toward solving our prob
lems of surplus stocks and low
farm income."
Price support on 1963-crop
corn, grain sorghum, barley
will be available only to pro
ducers taking part in the 1963
feed grain program. Wheat
farmers who do not sign up to
participate in the 1963 wheat
stabilization program may qual
ify for price-support loans or
purchase agreements (but not
for price-support payments) by
complying with their t a r m
wheat acreage allotments.
The price-support payments
are a new feature of the 1963
diversion programs. They will
be made on the normal produc
tion of the 1963 feed grain or
wheat acreage, as the case may
be, regardless of the farm's ac
tual yield and also without re
gard to whether the crop is fed,
marketed, or placed under price
support.

'Money Management'
By ESTHER KIRMIS
There's more truth than fiction
in the saying "Whether a fellovv
winds up with a nest egg or a
goose egg depends a heap on the
kind of chick he married." This
saying works the other way
around too. Tne truth is that
couples have greater chances
for happiness if both husband
and wife have healthy attitudes
about money, says Dorothy Sher
ill Miller, OSU family finance
specialist.
Recognition of the fact that
money is an important family
affair is the reason Morrow
County Extension Service en
courages couples to attend the
new man and wife Family
Finance series. The programs
will be held on four Thursdays,
beginning January 31 in room 1
of the Heppner High school (7:30
p. m.) ; and on four Mondays, be
ginning January 28 in the kin
dergarten room of the Irrigon
school (8:00 p.m.), according to
Esther Kirmis, Morrow county
extension agent.
Discussion topics will include:
How to make a family
spending plan (first meeting)
Wise Use of Credit (second
meeting)
Your Family's stake in So
cial Security (third meeting)
What about Saving and In
vestments, (fourth meeting)
All materials to be used in this
shortcourse were prepared by
Mrs. Miller, who has conducted
several successful money man
agement shortcourses in the
state.
Instructor staff will include
N. C. Anderson, Esther Kirmis
and Joe Hay who have taken
training from Mrs. Miller.
Local professional bankers and
social security representativ e s
will be invited to the last two
meetings.
Training Day Set
For Junior Leaders
In 4-H Club Work
A 4-H junior leadership train
ing day will be held in Heppner
on Saturday, January 19. The
meeting will be in the confer
ence room upstairs in the Gil
liam and Bisbee building from
9:00 a. m. until noon.
"The Junior Leardership pro
ject is planned to give older 4-H
club members an opportunity to
develop their abilities and skills
in working with others," Hay
said.
Activities planned for the
training day include understand
ing the responsibilities of leader
ship, selecting junior leadership
project areas, and filling out a
program of work for the year.
Four-H members who have
completed two years of club
work and are in the 9th grade
are eligible to carry the junior
leadership project.

HOW TO
KILL CHEATGRASS
AND OTHER WINTER WEEDS
IN GRAIN STUBBLE
Chemical winter fallow with Amino Triazole Weedkiller,
or Cytrol Amitrol-T will make your trashy fallow
work easier and more effective next summer
Trashy fallow is a sound soil conservation
practice on grain stubble land.
But-cheatgrass (downy bromegrass),
rye and other winter weeds often defeat
the program because they compete with
the growing grain and reduce the yields.
Chemical winter fallow on the stubble
- followed by spring and summer tillage
results in maximum control of chc-i'inass,
rye grass, volunteer grains and annual
broadleaf weeds such as tarwec '. mus
tard, fanweed.
Spray with Amino Triazole Weedkiller,
or Cytrol Amitrol-T, plus 2, 4-D. Treat
from October 1 to April 30 after most
weeds are up and before they are 5 to 6
inches tall.
