The Marcn J pianicu Hudson yield waa about one half of the early seeding. Thla Information confirms for the most part the recommenda tion made last winter. Between the Februrav 21 and March 11 seeding there was a aubstantlal drop in yield of winter wheat. Durlne the aame period spring seeded wheat yielded about the aame. These results show winter barley may be seeded up to two week later than winter wheat varieties without a aharp reduc tion In yield. When the yield data of the cereal nursery on Frank Antler- ron's place is made avauaoie u will be interesting to compare the yields of winter and spring varieties. Tne nursery was planted March 4. 1905.

LAW Oregon's new workmen's com pensation law becomes effective January 1. 1966. bringing virtu allv every employe under the Workmen's Compensation act. However, there Is some con fusion about the present status of farm employers under the new law. Farm employers do not come under the act until January 1, 1968. In other words, the present status of the farm employer Is exactly the same as It was prior to the enactment of the new workmen's compensation law. After January 1. 1968, every farm employer whose payroll exceeds $1500, excluding board and room and exchange labor, will have to provide workmen's compensation coverage for his employes. This means any farm employer whose payroll is In ex cess of $1500 for the calendar year ending December 31, 1967, will be subject to the act Janu ary 1. 1968. A farmer-employer may elect to voluntarily come under the act prior to January 1, 1968. If the farmer elects to come under the law, he may fulfill his ob ligation by purchasing worK- mens compensation insurance from a private insurance com pany or he may provide the cov erage for his employes through the State Compensation depart ment. Farm employers should be aware of the fact that the ex emption from the workmen's compensation law until January 1, 1968, does not relieve them of the possibility of being legal ly liable for the injuries to their employes. Farmers who do not elect to come under the act should be certain they have adequate em ployer's liability insurance to protect them against the claims of their employes.

Oregon On Hermlston-McNarr Highway Br DONNA GEORGE Dry cleaners are not alway responsible when apparel or household textiles are damage during dry cleaning, says Elaine K. Carlson. Extension Clothing k Textiles Specialist. Vou have certain responsibilities, too. It Is up to you to Inform the drv cleaner of the type ot flbe and to locate spots that nccu special treatment. It Is also lm port ant to select a reliable cleaner and give him plenty of time to do good cleaning Job. Because many of our fabrics are blends, it Is necessary for the dry cleaner to know the ft ber content In order to satis factorlly press the garment Fabrics of 100 man-m a d e heat-sensitive fibers and blends of natural fiber with man mades will become crinkly, shl ny. glazed or scorched when pressed with too hot an Iron Stains from such things as cold wave solutions and sugar are hard U clean. The chemi cal In the cold wave solution, once In a fabric, are not visible; different dyes react differently; sometimes the color change takes place after pressing while at other times It may not ap pear for weeks or months after drv cleaning: sometimes a stain rather than a color change de velops. The solution Is to keep cold wave solutions from getting on clothing. Sugar stains may not be vis ible' on the fabric either, but when subjected to heat or slow aging they appear as permanent brown stains. Usually they can not be removed from silk or woolen fabrics, although they will sometimes come out of other fabrics. The dry cleaner should be advised when the staining substances (Juice, gin ger ale. soft drinks, cocktails) have been spilled on clothing so he can treat It before dry clean lng treatment, says Miss Carl son. Consideration Duo for Bathroom Heating and Ventilation If you're remodeling the bath room or adding another one. consider carefully the need for heat and ventilation, advises Bernice Strawn, Extension home management and equipment specialist at Oregon State Uni versity . A small wall heater will do good job. One with a fan is desirable because it keeps the moist air in circulation. A ventilating fan is also nee essary to remove moisture from the room. Bathing adds coasld erable water vapor to the air which can cause mildew and other damage. This damp air Is attracted to cold areas of the house where it may condense on windows or exterior walls in other rooms. For further Information on moisture control In your home, ask for the new Extension fact sheet, "How to Prevent Moisture Damage in Your Home." producers were reminded to day that the VMA marketing year under the wool program enda lerember 31. According to David Mcleod, manager, Agri cultural Stablllratlon and '" rrvatlon Service tASCS) office, thla means that payment fr the current VM'A year will te- pend on completing all detail of marketing either wool or lamb by that date. Marketing completed after iHMvmber 31, liHVS, will become marketings lit the liHrfi marketing year, and thus not eligible fur payment until early l'.)7. The manager urge producers to make sure that all detalla of the VXA aale are completed not later than Hevcmber 31. Tht Include palng title to the buyer, delivering the wool to the buyer either phyidcallv or through document transferring control to the buyer, and hav ing available all the Informa tion needed to determine the buvcr'a total purchase price. Applications for the HHiS mar- ketlng year payments under the National Wool Act may he nietl with the ASCS county office- any time, but the sooner the better, Incentive payments under the wool program are based on the avcrace national price for mar ketlng during the whole year, and this can be determined more exactly If reiHirts on mar ketlngs are complete. All appll cations should be filed before January 31. VMVi. Payments for the llk'5 marketing year will likely begin In April of next year. The shorn wool Incentive price of 65 cents a pound for the l'JOo' marketing vear represents an Increase of 3 cents a pound ov er the present level. As In previous years, the 19ti6 shorn wool payments will be equal to a percentage of each producers cash returns from sales. The percentage will be that required to raise the na tlonal average price received by all producers for shorn wool up to the announced 65 cents pound Incentive price. The manager explained that the support price for wool for 1966 Is fixed by a formula In the Food and Agriculture Act of 1965. This legislation amend ed the National Wool Act of 1954 and extended the wool pro gram through 1K5. under tne new lncentlce price formula, the present support price of 62 cents Is multiplied by the ratio or the average parity index (index of priced paid by farmers) for the most recent 3 years to the aver age parity Index for 1958, 1959 and 1960.
