Of Crtt(Ud d VarUtiM
During lh pan several wee
we have commented on th new
grain atandard and the diffi
culty encountered In th regu
lation relating In wheat of con.
Irastlng rlasae. Moat of the dif
ficulties In making numlx-r I
rrad because of thU regulation
Via occurred In th Fortyfold
and Hurt varieties.
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. In submitting a sain
pie from tne txmmn '"" -:

alnnii U'lth a nHehbor. field

one day to thresh out 1A0D buh
eU that l atored acoaratcly a

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.
