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 weatherman's
cooperation was a boon to the
4-H and FFA livestock judging
as crowds watched under sunny
skies.
County Agents Nels Anderson
and Esther Kirmis said that 4-H
entries were up overall, with

Youna Visitor

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,

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.
Four-H livestock showmanship
will take place all day Thurs

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.
