Rose bush presented to honor lone woman In tribute to Edith Nichoson and her pioneer heritage, the lone Garden Club has planted a Tropican hybrid tea rose by her picket fence on Ione's main street to remind passers by of covered wagons and the Oregon Trail that brought her parents in 1854 to homestead, at' Petteysville, where Rhea Creek meet Willow Creek. ".My first garden." says Mrs. Nichoson. "was bird bills, yellow bells and fillaree brought from the nearby hUlsides, and the bur oaks that still stand in the Marion Palmer pasture were planted by my parents." Mrs. Nichoson's love for flowers has increased through the years and her yard is tended with exceptional ex pertise, bringing a parade of beauty from spring crocus time until frost browns the last chry sa n t hem u ms .

Acreage reports taken The Agricultural Stabiliza tion and Conservation Service (ASCSi is currently accepting acreage reports for the 1980 feed grain, and wheat. Judy Buschke, executive director of the Morrow County ASCS office, said there is no set -aside requirement and all farmers who file an accurate acreage report will be eligible for program benefits. Farmers may also indicate their intentions to participate in the 1980 program when they report their fall-seeded crops. "Some farmers will have seeded spring crops which they can report," she added. Farmers have until May 15 to report the sizes and intended uses of their wheat, barley, oats, and tye crops. Buschke said the report should be as accurate as possible. The more accurate the report, the less trouble the farmer has to qualify for program benefits ASCS will randomly check farms to verify that acreage reports are accurate and also make aerial photographs available for farmers to identify their fields. According to Buschke, the entire farm must be certified correctly before a program participant can receive the benefits of price support, disaster and deficiency pay ments. "This year it is important for all farmers to report their crops With no set-aside provi sions, everyone who reports will be eiligible for any payments made, regardless of planted acres and normal crop acreage." Farmers who have not certified their fall-seeded crops are urged to do so as soon as possible. The Morrow County ASCS office is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m..
