It appears, is to do as Flmer Palmer has done and as Wilbur Worden had made plans to do as I visited with them last week. This Is to hand rogue a portion of a field for clean seed stock. Elmer ralmer did this to pt .Jf start of clean seed. Wilbur Wor den was going to. with a help of a neighbor, clean up enough clean seed for these two ranch ers. We are still looking for a source of Fortyfold that would not be graded dow n because of red kernels. For those who beln to do something about clean seed for these varieties that are offend ers, the problem of contrasting classes another year will be solved. For those who do noth ing about their seed, the prob lem will continue to exist. From word we have at this time, there will be nothing done about changing this grade factor for another year. The reason for this is the low incidence of reduced grades from contrasting classes, taking the entire wheat produc ing country as a whole. Water Conservation Gets Good Results by County Bancnexs Two outstanding sue c e s s stories could be written on ranchers Henry Gantenbein and son Kurt, and bod Mcara oi Boardman.

I ... W where an outstanding Job of I , lr ImnrmomKnt mmi farm. stead development has occurred I er the past few years, we saw 12 replacement heifers on a 3 lrrlirated pasture that was rotated daily to 3 acre pastures inai provmrs an lounutim- in fresh daily feed. Mt mitttanriinp t this dairv was the new milking parlor that . . a lit is completely auiomaiea wun "mi lk -o-meters" and "feed-o- meters" that are used In getting the most from every cow. Since the "parlor" has been installed, the Gantenbeins are getting 10i more miiK at me same ume thplr rrain nurrhases have de creased a ton per month. The miik-o-meter is a unique piece of equipment that attaches to tne stall to measure me amount of milk each cow gives. At the same time it provides individual cow records for the Gantenbeins. it is regulating the feed-o-meter and as each cow produces Vt pound of milk an ad ditional amount of feed is trip ped and fed out in the cows in dividual feeder. One pound of feed Is metered out for each 4 pounds of milk. As Henry put it, it "coaxes" more milk from the cow as pel lets are automatically fed the cow as she produces. If some thing happens to the feed-o-meter. the cow looks around to see what she has done that nas cut off her feed. II Ull lit, iixu. There is no doubt but what this dairy is doing all in its power to get every pound of miiK in ine most economical manner in order to survive in this highly competitive business. Bv looking around the ranch, it appears that the Gantenbeins are succeeding. 'Haylage' Is End Result Of New Class Lined Silos Urbanization and the demand for recreation has been a boon for nni Morrow cnuntv rancher. Tom Huston, Hardman, has for many years "eyea glass Jinea silos and wished that he had the $10,000 plus dollars that it took to erect one on his ranch. Luckily last winter while on a business trip to Portland he saw an ad with four glass lined silos for sale in the Portland area, Innuirintr ho fntinrt that thi ranch where these were located nad been sold for a goir course. As a T-ocutt ha tit n cr ohla i hiiv four of these silos with unload ing equipment for 13 the cost of one new one. Tom said recently while visit- i n 7 with hfm that onnh wolohpit eight tons and posed somewhat 01 a proDiem to move. However, after getting on to the knack of it, they were easily dismantled and erected again after being hauled the approximately 250 miles to his ranch. Last week while in the area, I found that one of them was completely erected and ready for receiving the chopped grass Texas Refinery Corp.
