Because of wind and water eros ion problems. Bob did not want to use a soil sterllant on tne area, lie used penta-chlorophe-nol and dlcsel spraying by plane after the rye came into head. Within two days results could be seen and most of the rye had completely fallen over and quit growing. While this may be a little more expensive then soli aterl lants. it is a definite stop gap In method for control when soil stertlants cannot be used. It pro tects his fields from Invasion by roadside rye which so many times is the original source of infection.

Applications Opa for rout Rasas Touts EnroUee Invitations have gone out this tast week asking boys who might be Interested In our vast natural resources of range, for est wildlife, and soils to attend the Oregon Range loutrt lamp this year. This youth camp, sponsored by the American Kance Society, has been held for many years with a multitude of Morrow county boys attend lng over the years. The range camp is restricted to four boys between the ages of 14 to 17 years of age In each county. The camp, to be held at the Lake Creek Guard Station in Grant county August 2 through 7. Is a real learning ex perience for the boys who at tend from throughout Eastern Oregon. The aim of the camp is to acquaint these boys, who in future years win be our busi ness and agricultural leaders. In maintaining and using wisely our vast natural resources oi range forests, wildlife, and soils. Any organization who is in terested in sponsoring a boy or knows of someone, either ranch or cltv raised Is invited to con tact County Range Camp Chair man Moose Stephens at the For est Son ice office, or this office. Progress of Cereal Nursery Noted at Anderson Ranch Those who have passed by the cereal nursery at the Frank Anderson ranch in the Eight mile community would be in terested to stop and look at the progress of growth of the many spring wheat, barley, oats, ana peas, as well as winter wheat and barley varieties seeded on March 5. I have been Interested as I have stopped by each week or so to compare the growth of these varieties. For instance, Gem barley which has not been a popular variety in Morrow county, stood out over all other spring barleys and could be seen above all other plantings In the plot for quite some time. Recently other varieties are catching up with It This was the case for Idaed spring wheat too, which indi cated that it is a fast grower. Even though there were many nights of cold weather after March 5 which should have had a favorable reaction on winter seeded wheat in the spring, all the winter varieties to date show a prostrate growing form and appear as though they will be definitely reduced in yield at this time. While it Is a bit early yet to see the timing of the heading and ultimate neignt, there are many things to com pare. The varieties are staked so they are identified. Unstaked plantings on the far north side of the plot are a part of the "drill box survey" which we an nounced last fall. Because of the dry fall, turning wet and then freezing up, it was impossible to seed our winter nursery as in the past 20 years, however, we hope to get some good informa tion anyway. The 12 drill box survey seed ing are from that many sources of local ranch seed. These plant ings will be compared for con trasting classes as an indication 1 JfrftWAlBM NEWS of lust what there Is to look at now.

Demonstration CItm Information on Nitrogen A demonstration was estab lished last Friday afternoon at he Frank Anderson rancn in Flphtmlle as a result of contin ued Interest In why wheat does not respond to nitrogen fertili zers to the extent that it had in former vears when nitrogen was first used. Also, creating an Interest in a lack or something in tho soil in the comparison of well fertilized wheat fields with a field which has been plowed out of grass and legume in a rotation. Yields have been conslderaDiy better in the last case which has led manv oeoDle in the area to believe that there is something larklnc in addition to the com monly used fertilizers. While ex tensive fertilizer plots have been established throughout the area, sulfur, phosphorous and nitro gen in various amounts and combinations have not been the answer. Seeking the answer, a demon- stration was established last Fridav afternoon using minor elements as a foliage spray. Var ying amounts of Chelated cop per, iron, zinc, manganese and magnesium alone and in com bination were put on the foliage of spring wheat. These were sprayed on with a regular weed sprayer using 10 gallons of wat er per acre. Each plot is 42 feet wide and will be harvested sep arately and weighed out for yields. The plots were establish ed on an annual cropping area in the spring wheat feeling that if there was a deficiency it would show up quicker on an annual cropped area. It will be interesting to see if there are any results. Farm Survey Set To Compile Data In Morrow County About 50.000 farms will be vU UrU in a nationwide cnumcra- tive survey of the U. 8. iVpail ment of Agriculture through the first week of June, according to It B. lille. agricultural stalls tlcl an for Oregon.

Information compiled becomes part of crop and llveMock re ports issued during the height of the farming season, June and July. Winter weather caused heavy losses to Oregon farming areas this year and Information obtained in the cnumeratlvc survey will be most helpful in determining acreages of cros available for harvest this year. Farms In the 48 contlgious States are randomly selected foi the survey. Enumerators employ ed In each state locate the sel ected farms with the aid of aer ial photos and county road maps.
