While aom clean source of Burt have been located aufflc lent to aupl'lv the need of ttui who trow thia variety. It apt-ear-ed that H would be a difficult tin to find a clean source of 'iftvfold. It ha been many year sine we have raised any certified Forty fold while there are never I grower of Hurt who have had certified seed In the past few year. Kenneth Smou. lone, was the lat grower In Morrow county to have Hurt certified. This was two year ago and In checking hi Burt It U an excellent source of seed. There are other. A week a to It was called to our attention that Wilbur Wor. den had aome real clean looking Fortyfold. In examining the field, a few wheat of other varletle were found, however, they turned out to be mainly soft white.

Fortyfold growera who are look ing for aeed would do well to look Into thla source. Elqhtmll What Rcmcbr Has Extra Qualltr Crop Talking of wheat, we have commented several time on the extra Rood quality of thla year crop. An example of the klr.d of wheat that U being harvest ed this year, and the majority la like this. Is a sample from the Dale Brown ranch In Eight- mMr- ,., . His grain Inspection certificate showed his Gaines as No. 1 heavy with a test weight of 63.7 pounds, moisture of 8.9. no dnm ace to kernels. 1 of foreign materials with the new grade allowing .5: .8 shrunken or broken Kernels with the stand ards allowing 3.0. Again, this is Just an indi cation of the real quality wheat that is being produced In Mor row county this year. Thompson Carries Experiment On Irrigated Forage Crop. Terry Thompson, young enter prising rancher on Willow Creek near Heppner, has been exper imenting with the possibility of growing an annual forage crop in his irrigated creek ranch which will provide a heavier vieid ner acre than the con- ventlonal alfalfa. He has tried corn and sudan grass and has raised some pretty fair corn crops when weuther conditions happen to be favor able. This was used to fill one of his trench silos for winter food This year, he experimented with three varieties of sudan grass. Piper, Common and Sweet, lie reports Piper as the highest yielding, leafiest variety of the three. Sudan has not been rec ommended generally for th s area because of the hot days and nights needed to make best growth and result in higher yields than alfalfa. Since it can not be seeded until the ground and weather warms up, by this time moisture is a limiting fac tor unless he person has a par ticularly good site that is either sub-irrigated or can be easily sprinkled. . , , Generally speaking, it is hard to replace alfalfa on our Irri gated creek bottoms for produc ing the maximum pounds per acre of good quality forage. How ever, there are opportunities for a few to grow annual forages such as sudan if the right con ditions prevail. Protein Testa on Wheat To Aid Foreign Market Needs Eighty-four samples which pretty well reflected all wheat growing areas In the county have been picked up during the past month and are now being pro cessed at the Pendleton Branch Experiment Station where pro tein content will be determined with the new protein test ma- t likes saltillr wtilt fi wrr most- I ll a a .. ..a.
