Fair Gets info Full Swing; Judges Pick First Winners Morrow county's fair, basking; in perfect weather, was in full swing bv mid-week and crowds swelled Wednesday as entries were judged in 4-H, FFA and open classes.

The amiable young Welshman visited the Bill Barratts for several days on a trip around ranches of the Midwest and West. (G-T Photo) . . .. r w I Youna Visitor - j Gets Tips on Obviously enthused over what . t he is seeing on a trip to ranches of the Midwest and Western United States, Michael Dugdale of Newton, Wales, 20-year-old guest of the Bill Barratts through most of last week, feels that he will be richly rewarded with what he is learning about American agriculture. Dugdale, a young man of im peccable manner, said without hesitation Monday that the thing that impresses him the most about the United States is the kindness of the American people. He added, however, that those who have visited Wales and Eng land say the same about the residents there, so the feeling seems to be mutual. The touring young Welshman arrived in New York on a chart ered plane with a group of stu dents but he is not a member of any sponsored program nor of any guided tour. He is making the journey on his own to gain experience that will be valuable in estate management. Somehow, directors fo the Farm Credit Administration, of which Bill Barratt is one, were contacted on the youth's trip, and he is visiting ranches of the directors. He first went to the Ralph Rakes farm in Nebraska, JUDGES STATEMENT We, the undersigned members of the advisory board of judges, appointed to have supervision over the final count of votes in The Gazette-Times subscription campaign do here by state: That we have this day made a thorough canvass of all subscriptions found in the sealed ballot box for each in dividual worker.

Fair Grain Exhibits Said 'Best Ever' Grain exhibits at the Mor row county fair are the best in the history of the fair and probably the best of any fair in the Pacific Northwest, Coun ty Agent Nels Anderson said Wednesday. There are 52 exhibits of grain, the greatest number ever displayed at the Morrow county fair. Judges said that the exhibits are the best they have seen, and Anderson said that they are outstanding among the many fairs that he has attended. "Superintendent Bill Raw lins has done an outstanding job on the exhibits," he said. However, the entries were sub mitted without any prompting, showing a greater interest on the part of growers. The annual 4-H pig scramble and livestock auction is sched uled for tonight (Thursday), starting at 7:30 in the show arena. This is always one of the highlights of the fair. Mrs. Wilbur Van Blokland, chairman of the 4-H Snack Shack, states that it will be open Thursday evening and all day Friday with sandwicnes, ice cream, pop, coffee and pie avail able to the public.

Number 25 HEPPNER 10 Cents Grain Harvest Nears Completion Across County Grain harvest is virtually fin ished throughout Morrow coun ty, although a few growers are still at work this week. County Agent Nels Anderson said that Raymond French, Paul Hisler and George Currin in the eastern part of the county are still harvesting. Frank Anderson is still at it, as is Bob Kilkenny on the Don Greenup place. At Hardman, Bechdolt Bros, and Art Warren were reportedly still working as of Wednesday. An excellent average of 35 bushels on wheat and 41 bushels on barley is the estimate of Al Lamb, manager of Morrow Coun ty Grain Growers. "It would have been even brtter except that club wheat foil down in yield because of the effects of rust," he said. There was also some damage from foot rot that cut the yield in some areas. Lamb said that the best yields seemed to come in the vicinity of the North Lexington elevator and north of lone. Gaines brought the highest yields, run ning up to 05 bushels, and Burt A'as second. Total grain barley and wheat received at the MCGG eleva tors is set at 2,400,000 bushels to date as compared with 2,250,000 last year. The higher figure was achieved in the face of a cut of about 7Vi per cent In acreage, Lamb said. The manager said that the Grain Growers are still receiv ing from one grower at Ruggs and a few at Heppner. He an ticipated that MCGG would pick up about 500,000 bushels more from farm storage.
