HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Thursday. September 1. 1966 Merrilee Jacobs Grand Champion In Style Revue t - t I J , County Agent's Office Tests Indicate Low 1 Average Wheat Protein By gene winters Many things mav bo said about this year's wheat crop in Morrow county, but from the standpoint of protein, it initial ly appears to bo a "vintage" year. With about half the protein analysis of local wheats collect ed at the various elevators being completed at the Pendleton Ex periment Station, preliminary data showed a county average of near 7 percent protein. Foreign cash customers of Pacific Northwest grown white wheats have indicated an inter est in low protein. While final results may not be available for a few weeks, protein readings averaging less than 7 percent in UHj would compare to 9.3 in 1965. S.6 in 19tV4. and 7-2 in 19t3. Seeding Charts for Widths And Rates Made Available In preparation for fall seed ing we have assembled a seed ing rate chart for Morrow coun ty wheat and barley growers. The chart indicates the seeds per foot of drill row at various drill widths and seeding rates. This seeding rate information chart will be especially helpful when first starting to drill or when calibrating before going into the field. Charts are available from the Morrow County Extension of fice.
