ANDUSON Morrow county ranchers will have an oportunlty to observe an Intcrcsllnff crop nurserv which was established on Frf- day of last wk at the Prank Anderson ranch in the Klfihtmlle area. Frank has born a coop era tor for over 30 years In the winter cereal nursery program. which compare for yield and other characteristic the popular winter wheat and barley var ieties of the Columbia Basin. In addition to established var let les. the cereal nursery has been used to compare new crosses from the various expert ment stations to see what they will do In this location under field conditions. There have been about 20 different named or numbered varieties of winter wheat and barley compared each year. Yield records for this period of time are quite helpful in determining the best suited varieties for this area which in cludes quite an acreage In south Morrow county as well as other areas of the Columbia Basin. harleyt beinj compared were TreW.

Since winter varieties cannot be compared to well seeded varieties In the spring, it was agreed that a spring wheat, barley and oats nursery would replace the reg ular fall seeding. This was ar ranged with the Pendleton Branch Experiment Station and upon the request of Frank, peas were added to the nursery. In addition, we decided to seed the "drill box survey" wheat sam pies which were collected from number of ranchers last fall that were among the cas ualties in not being seeded. We squeezed a lot into a small area last Friday when we established four rows of the following spring wheats: Federation. Lamhi 53, Idaed 59. Lemhi 62.

Topics on the all day agenda Include report of a study f range forage quality, Intake and livestock production, by R. J. Kalelgh, station nutritionist.

The cereal nursery is well labeled this year and those who regularly use the Heppner Condon highway will note the white stakes about a half mile west of the Anderson ranch home. We invite you to stop by periodically and check these j many varieties as to date of emergence, comparison in rate of growth as well as time of heading and other characteris tics. After harvest, yields will be publicized. Engineering Lures Women Oregon State University re cently announced that engineer ing firms and engineering schools would welcome more women engineers. They went on to say that the lack of women in this field is a lack of reall zation of the fine potential for women in engineering and that many reel that it is "lust tor men.' Oregon State generally has a woman or two among its 200 to 300 engineering graduates each June, but could place many more in good jobs. So 1965 high school graduates, if you are so inclined, why not consider being an engineer? Women engineers earn a higher salary than most professional women. Like the men, they start at $600 to $650 per month on their first Job out of college. Sheep Production Drops Forcing Prices to Climb Steadily Although lamb and wool prices improve significantly In 1964. the sheeD population in Oregon and the nation continues to decline. As 1965 entered the scene, this was the status of the sheep and lamb production. Oregon had the fewest stock sheep and lambs since 1872 and 5 less than on January 1, 1964. On balance, the U. S. stock sheep year. Price reports from the early lambs being marketed In Calif ornia show prices at $2.50 a hundred over a year ago. With these strong prices at this date, it would encourage everyone to creep feed and push their lambs for the earliest market possible. Bv creep feeding, lambs will get off to a good thrifty start and can utilize early spring forage and make excellent gains. The public has been advised to reduce fat consumption at a poftkihle means of lvreaslne the risk of heart attack and strokes reminds Virginia Wclsrr, rMcrudon nutrition ic-Ulif at Oregon State I'nlverslty. The number of deaths from heart artery disease and tnkcs has tern great, and many lctims are under to years of age. It is estimated that the Amor lean man now consume about 10 tablcspoonfuls of fats and oil a day. aays Mis Wclrr This is a little more than half a cup. People may not think they eat that much, but this In I eludes fats that do not show, las the fats In milk, rggs, and baked goods. Cutting out 1 to 2 tablCkpoontuls of fat each day will bring the amount down to a more healthful level. The objective is to reduce the amount of calories from fata from about 401 to 33 of the calories from all food. Ten taMcsunonfuU of fats provide l-HM calories, about 47 of the average number of calories per day from all foods 13,190 cal ories) for the USA. IVcreastng two tablespoonfuls of fats would bring the level to 33. Women who consume only about 2.000 calories may need to decrease only one tablcspoonful of fat to bring their consumption to the 33 level. Miss Welser points out that fruits contain no more than a trace of fat. A sure, simple and pleasing way to cut out some fat. Is to make fresh fruit one of the standard dessert Items served regularly. By serving fresh oranges or pears In place of chocolate cake, you cut one tablcspoonful of fat from the day's food. An average serving of plain cake contains tablespoon of fat: double crust fruit pies, one tablespoon; Ice cream. 23 table spoon; and cheesecake, two tablespoons. Navel oranges will be In sea son until May. Fresh, tangy and seedless, they make an excellent dessert or snack. Nutritive val ues of oranges and other fruits . are well known. Americans are fortunate in having a large var iety of fresh fruits at reason- I able prices the year around. New Clethiae Club !

Will be using a new, high concentrate spray system that is 95 efficient, as compared to 30 efficiency with a boom and nozzle system. This system reduces the amount of 2, 4-D necessary by V3 to V2, due to complete saturation of the weeds, resulting in a considerable saving to the farmer and a reduced shock to the grain. Inland Chemical Service of Heppner handles the new concentrate 2, 4-D used most effectively for hard to kill weeds and this new spray system. Fanners Beat Cost Squeeze With Supplemental Incomes Many of our ranchers have re cently found a substantial de crease in farm Income with lower grain prices and hieh costs of production. Here are some ideas for the "cost-price squeeze" Morrow county farmer One Michigan farmer doubled the production average of his Holstein herd (from 9,278 to 18.426 pounds) in 7 years, while doubling the size of his herd (from 19 to 40 milkers) In the process. An Oklahoma rancher stocked 25 ponds on his 747 acre ranch with 10.000 channel cat fish two years ago. now sells 4 to 6 pound cat fish to both fish markets and anglers at 65c a pound. In addition the stock ponds still serve as watering places for his livestock; and In Nebraska one rancher raises zoo animals, including Peacocks, Texas longhorned cattle, elk, Llamas, cattle (a Hereford Buffalo cross), 5 kinds of deer and a deer-angus (a cross be tween a white tail buck deer and an Angus Heifer) on his 3,000 acre ranch along with his reg ular livestock including Angus cattle, Appaloosa horses and Shetland ponies.
