Harvest operations
in full swing
It's good news for Morrow
County wheat farmers, ac
cording to Larry Mills of the
Morrow County Grain Grow
ers. All stations are in full
operation to handle a crop
double the size of last years,
which was short, due to a dry
season.
Harvesting is well under
way in the northern part of the
county while crops in the
southern area are later.
Harold Kerr, of the Oregon
State Extension service re
ports that the rain exper
ienced the latter part of June
helped most crops, but the
heat was responsible for
pinching some of the grain.
'The pinched wheat is not a
serious quality factor and the
heat was beneficial for red
wheat in that it improves the
protein content," said Kerr.
A new variety of wheat,

ing produced by eight Morrow

GARDEN REACHING
TOWARD THE SKY
They have raised sun
flowers over 18 feet tall in
years past, but this year's
plants are still growing. Their
corn (bantam variety) now
measures almost 9 feet high.
If you are a garden watcher,
you know that "they" are
Ruby and Harold Becket and
that their super garden is on
South Court St.
Several reasons could con
tribute to their gardening
success like plenty of water
from Willow Creek because of
their water right. The Beckets
keep their own seed, too and
they spent many hours labor
ing in and loving their garden.
