SPRING WHEAT
A few growers will be planting spring wheat this year. The
general recommendation is plant as soon as possible. Yields
appear to be lower as planting is delayed. Recommended
varieties include Fielder, Twin, and Springfield. Some of the
private varieties are also doing well, particularly under
irrigation.
NO TIM. OR MINIMUM TILLAGE
An old practice may becoming of age. No Ullage, or
minimum Ullage has long been considered a possibility in the
Columbia Basin. Weed control and particularly cheatgrass
control has been one of the major problems. Two chemicals
are now cleared for use on wheat land which may make
no-till agriculture possible. The two chemicals Paraquat and
Roundup are contact non-selective herbicides which kill on
contact all or most foliage they come in contact with.
These two chemicals, along with some selective herbicides
which will take cheatgrass and broadleaf weeds out of
growing wheat may make no-till wheat producUon possible in
our area. The selective chemicals are not cleared yet but
clearance is expected this fall.
Minimum tillage may prove to be as far as we can go
because of the need to fertilize and seed, but both problems
are being looked at by scienUsts and alternate ways of
applying fertilizer and seeding are being researched at
Experiment Stations throughout the northwest.
BICENTENNIAL Ql'ILT ... A COUNTY PROJECT
A dream that Morrow County should have a bicentennial
quilt, depicting -history of the county, can be a reality if
individuals from all parts of the county can be found who will
cooperate on such a project. Theda Lowe, Heppner, has such
a dream, the materials for twenty-five. 16 x 18 squares and
plans for blocks depicting history and products, towns and
events of Morrow history. .
Inspired by reading "Yesteryears in Morrow , i historical
booklet prepared by Extension study group women in 1959,
the date of Oregon's 100th birthday, Theda has undertaken
the bicentennial quilt. If the quilt can be completed by county
fair time, it will be displayed at fair, and will then be given to
the museum to be displayed for all to enjoy.
The quilt project is a county bicentennial project, and all
are invited to help. Please call Mrs. Lowe, 676-9496 if this is a
project that intrigues you! It is her hope that women from aU
areas of the county will volunteer to complete a block that
pertains to their locality, family, event or industry m which
they have interest. She will be happy to attend club meetings
or group gatherings where she can show and explain her quilt
plans, as well as give out the materials for making blocks.
