Some Crops Here;
Degree Uncertain
By GENE WINTERS
Morrow County Extension Agent
Kree.InK weather this week
has caused concern lo the back
yard Kiirdcner and the commer
cial producers of fruit, vegeta
bles, eniln and fornce plants.
Weather conditions precediiij;
the frcezlni! weather liave en
courau'ed rapid succulent
i-rowlh. Most plants are ex
tremely sensitive to tempera
ture In slai-es of rapid Krowth
and reproduction.
The amount of damage suf
fered In Morrow County from
sub-freezing temperatures Is dif
ficult to determine with the
possible exception -of those
plants In (lower.
The severity of the loss Is
dependent on the lowest tern
pcaaturc reached, the period of
freeze, nnd the rapidity of
warmlriR. Several growers re
ported varied 15 decrees from
farm to farm. Most of the near
ly loO.OOO acres of cereal crops
had not vet reached the sensi
tive stnees of growth. All cer
eals are damned by freczliiR
durlni; heading, pollination anil
early crain development.
Flowering In the cereal plant
usually takes place shortly af
ter the head Is exerted from the
"boat", although very early
planted Rraln may flower and
be pollinated In the boat. Flow
ering usually takes place over
three to seven day periods on
an Individual head while flow-c-rlng
within a field may ex
tend over a two to three week
period.
Several hundred acres of bar
ley In the county were In this
sensitive stage last Monday
morning. Darr.uge could result
In "blank" heads or partially
filled heads. Partial seed set Is
possible for head development
In wheat and barley as well as
flowering proceeds from ubout
the center toward both the base
and tip.
Light rain, which came Wed
nesday, and holding the prom
ise of more, was much more
welcome throughout the county.
Ranchers were hoping that
more would come to add needed
grain crops.

Rundown on the candidates on
Set Clocks Ahead
For Daylight Time
Beginning Sunday
Clocks and watches are to
be set one hour ahead with
the daylight savings season
starting Sunday, April 24. If
vou go to church normally at
11 a.m. and don't set your
clocks ahead, you may find
yourself arriving just as the
rest of the congregation is
leaving
To all intents and purposes,
an hour will be lost this week
end, but it will be gained
back on the last Sunday in
October when time reverts to
normal.
Congress has Just passed a
bill requiring uniformity of
daylight savings time across
the nation. While a state is
not required to observe day
light time, if it does go on
daylight it must do so for the
full period from the last Sun
day in April to the last Sun
day in October.
Oregon is already on this
schedule, but even this caus
es confusion in Malheur coun
ty, which is not on Pacific
time but Mountain time. Mal
heur may be switched into
Pacific zone by the 1967 legis
lature. ' . .
Most families will set their
clocks and watches ahead be
fore retiring Saturday night to
assure that they will get up
on daylight time.
