cate morning glory, it is a rel
atively economical control which
will allow wheat to be grown
without the competition from
morning glory.
One of the advantages of Tor
don is that It has a short resid
ual that will allow production
to continue as morning glory Is
controlled. While we have no
price quotations yet. it appears
that it will cost considerable
less than other methods of morn
ing glory control in use at this
time.
Poultry Income Increases
Did you know that the gross
income from poultry Vjgsto
Oregon in 1963 was $33,400,000?
This was a 3 increase com
pared with 1962. Of this total
income 49 was from eggs. 34
from turkeys. 15 from broilers
and 2 from other farm chick
ens. It Is well to realize that
there are many commodities that
go to make up the total agri
cultural income for the state ol
Oregon In addition to the im
portant products grown in Mor
row county.

Planning to paint your house?
M. G. Hubvr. Oregon State Unl
versity tension Agrlt-ultural
engineer, says that a good white
house paint should last at least
4 or 5 years before It must be
renewed; tinted points 5 or 6
years; and dark colort-d paints.
6 to 8 years. Don't paint too
often. The basic rule is paint
only after most of the old paint
film has weathered away. H
paint Is built up too thickly It
may require costly and time
consuming removal before a new
coat can be applied. In repaint
ing, it Is a goinl Idea to use the
same type of paint as before.
If you want to change to a
different type of pair. It Is
best to wait at least 4 years af
tpr th last oaint kb before
making the change. Maybe you
can wait another year after all!

Running water isn't the camel's concern. But it
is yours especially if your home is among the
17 in rural areas with no running water.
Do you still carry all the water you need for
drinking, for washing clothes and dishes and for
personal use? If so, your home is not modern.
Running water is more wan a convcnwwv-
is a necessity. It's no
accident that the high
est degree of general
health among rural
and suburban families
across the country is
found where the most use is made of pressure water
systems. An automatic water system is indispena
able to almost all modern comforts and necessities.
It makes possible easier food preparation, gar
bage disposal, up-to-date sanitary facilities and
automatic dishwashing and laundering.
Give your family a break 1 Don't deny them the
benefits of an automatic water system. Ask your
rural electric for pro
fessional help in plan
ning an electric water
system today.
