Amount of Soil Moisture Determines Kind of Fertilixer Good soil moisture conditions in this year's wheat crop may encourage the use of a late win ter or early spring applied ni trogen fertilizer material. Which material to apply will require a certain amount of weather forecasting. In general those materials re quiring applicator equipment which disturbs the soil are not recommended for those fields with a foot or root rot history. Organisms are spread from in fected straw residue to growing plants. All dry materials will require rainfall (or Irrigation) to take the plant food into the root zone. At least 1 Inch of precip itation and preferably 2 Inches is usually required. Research has shown better performance from the nitrate nitrogen forms when the soil is cold. No or little difference was noted between the ammo nium and the nitrate-nitrogen forms when the soil warmed to near 70 degrees. Soil temperatures at the four Inch depth In most of Morrow county probably wouldn't ap proach this temperature until late May. $10 WAR For information leading to the arrest and conviction of those re sponsible for breaking wires in my pasture fence and turning out my children's horses, thereby endanger ing motorists of Morrow County.

Bob Hen ry of Heppner and Dick McEl ligott of lone are leading 4-H Ski Clubs. These clubs are meet ing with a club from Gilliam County, led by Louis Rucker, each Saturday for nine weeks on the ski hill at Arbuckle Mountain. Last Saturday, a total of 69 young skiers showed up and under the guidance of Junior leaders Jim McElligott. Mark Tullis, Bill Stockard and Carrie Peterson, made excellent prog ress. All members are riding the tow and can do all the basic maneuvers. Henry reports these beginners are progressing twice as fast as his lesson plans. A work horse of the program is Al Martin, Heppner elemen tary school principal, who drives the bus and heads up the ski patrol. The bus leaves around 6:45 a.m. and returns by 7:00 p.m. or a pretty long day. The Morrow County Jaycees are also in the picture. Members are operating the ski tow as well as serving refreshments at the warm-up shack. Hot choc olate and hot dogs seem to be the favorites. With all of this hard work and effort, Morrow County's 4-H Ski clubs are off with a run ning start and we should prob ably chalk up another first in the state for Morrow county.

President of the Oregon Wheat Growers League has said that, quote: 'There are strong indications, from information received from Washington. D. C, ASCS offic ials during the annual conven tion of the OWGL at Portland. December 12 14, that every at tempt will be made bv the USDA to reduce Pacific Worth- west white wheat stocks bv July 1, 1967. to approximately m minion bushels through movement of Food for Peace shipments to the developing countries." 'This would be the same carryover target as that of the last marketing year when the actual carryover level on July 1, 1966. was set at 18.3 million bushels. A large percentage of the 1966 production remains in growers hands. Any stabiliza tion or improvement in market prices through balancing total demand by movement of sup plies under government pro grams would accrue principally to growers," Woodward said! A recent Purchase Authoriza tion to India of 77,000 metric tons is said to have cleaned up the balance of the last P. L. 480 agreement to this country. The US DA has since granted a sale of 50,000 tons to India un der G.S.M.-3 for dollar payment on short term credit terms. It is exported that a new P. L. agreement with India for 2.000, 000 m t (75,000,000 bushels) will be announced soon. It is also indicated that white wheat win likely be concentrated on in this allocation because of bettor crop prospects and a comparatively larger reserve supplies available for export in the Pacific Northwest as com pared to the Midwest where 1967 crop prospects are suh nor mal and larger percentages of production are used domestical ly, i Walter Leth Takes Oath of Office As Ag Director Walter I,eth, who was sworn In January 12. as Oregon's new director of agriculture, has spent his whole life rither ranching or farming or tn work related to aglculture. And, It was his Interest In the state's agricultural future and Its great contribution to Oregon's economy that led to acceptance of the directorship when it was offered him. Commenting on his new role In Oregon's agriculture, the for mer state senator said, "The Im portance of agriculture in being responsible for more lob oppor tunities than offered through any other resource and the work of the department In represent ing the interests of the consu mers, together with the expand ing opportunity In the years ahead for agriculture, have cre ated my very strong interest In the department.

Leth bought his first Oregon farm near Newberg in 1934. He sold the farm In 1944. but the same year leased a 550-acre seed and grain farm In Folk County that he operated until 1949. In 19-18 Leth purchased a 700-acre farm southwest of Mon mouth, which he presently op erates with the main enterpris es sheep, beef cattle, seed and grass crops.
