THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 1940. PAGE n v > THE HERMISTON HERALD. HERMISTON. OREGON FARM CO OPERATIVE DIVISION M ESSAGE TO EVERY M EM BER. FTT” T*~*TT' J ~. CLEANUP DAY IS ♦R.E.A. H IG H LIG H TS* ♦ ------ ♦ SET FOR APRIL 5 BY R. L. WOOLLEY Some of our members are really making, electricity pay for itself. For example, Vern Dunham of the Colum bia district is now operating several pig brooders. I understand that he is already convinced that they are very profitable. The next step Mr. Dunham should make is to investi gate the feed grinder and its feasi bility. He will no doubt be just as well pleased with it as he is with the pig brooders, once he has learned of its usefulness. Mr. Dunham is not the only pro gressive member we have, however. I hear of several of our poultrymen who are USING their electricity also. Mr. Ott, one of the members of our board of directors, has installed the electric brooder which Mr. Knicker bocker was using to demonstrate with last season. We have installed a special meter to measure the amount of electric power it uses. We will then be able to give you that infor mation. Already, however, Mr. Ott feels that the one electric brooder op erates for about one-half the cost of brooders heated with briquets which he is also operating. In addition to this he says that he does not need to make the fueling “rounds” required for the others. Each day I hear of new uses. There are also some additional incubators on the system. R. V. Jones also has both incubators and brooders to op erate this season, I am told. These bits of news are not sales talks but just sort of “over the back fence” chats telling you of some of the ac tivities of the other members we not ice that may be of help and that will aid you to become more successful by using the conveniences provided by your cooperative. So, if you have something of interest for the other members, tell us about it and we will endeavor to pass it on. GRASS GROWN ON FORMER GULLIES USED FOR HAY Eastern Oregon farmers are .find ing that a crop of hay as a return from formerly unproductive gully banks makes this kind of protective treatment an economical and profit able method of stopping further soil loss. Where there is a natural draw in a field, there is some gully cut ting during run-off periods unless enough plant cover is present to hold the soil. Many farn-e’s have salved this problem of soil cutting by seed ing broad strips of grass and le gumes along such draws, Soil Con servation service and Extension ser vice men report. Such strips can be mowed easily and give the farmer an extra crop of hay that usually is a welcome addition to his forage sup plies. In most cases where a gully is sev eral feet deep, the recommended pro cedure is to grade in the banks to form a wide, shallow and flat chan nel that may be crossed by farm im plements, thereby aiding contour op erations on adiacent land. Then, as early as possible in the spring, the area may be seeded to a width of 30 to 40 feet with a mixture of grasses and legumes. Protected waterways of this type spread the run-off water, reducing its cutting action and the bank eros ion caused when run-off is concen trated in a narrow, deep channel. If the grading and seeding is done in the spring, experience has shown that a stand thick enough to prevent cutting ordinarily will develop in time to give the needed protection during succeeding run-off periods. UM ATILLA FARMERS TURN TO MACHINES Farmers in the Hermiston and sur rounding regions are turning quite extensively to the horseless machines, according to A. F. Rohrman of the Rohrman Motor Co. Mr. Rohrman, who is the local dealer for the Ford tractor utilizing the Ferguson sys tem of hydraulic control, reports that the following are recent purchasers: O. T. Carnes of Pilot Rock, J. E. Troxel of Adams, Louis Ringel of Athena, Merrill Potter, Fred Lee and Guy E. Knapp, all of Hermiston. Another carload of tractors is ex pected the first of the week. Westland Dance» Discontinued. The series of dances which have been held at the Westland school have been discontinued, according to J. B. Perry who has been connected with them. No reason was given for the decision. Friday, April 5, has been set as cleanup day at Columbia park. The auxiliary ladies will serve pot luck dinner at noon and it is hoped that a number of men will turn out for the occasion. TURKEY A N D SPUD REPORT FORECASTS MORE PRODUCTION Turkey growers and potato pro ducers in this country intend to raise between 4 and 5 per cent more birds and plant about 2 per cent more acres to spuds than last year, accord ing to latest federal surveys reported in the current agricultural situation and outlook circular issued by the agricultural extension service at O. S. C. This moderate increase will be in the face of slightly higher costs and uncertain consumer demand pros pects, the report points out. The circular, obtainable at any county ex tension office, also contains outlook information on horses and mules to gether with considerable data on trends and levels of farm prices for many Oregon farm products. Tables of turkey and potato statistics are featured. On a regional basis, the prospect is that turkey production will be cur tailed slightly in the western states, while the potato acreage is expected to be increased somewhat more than in the country as a whole. Actual production will depend considerably upon weather conditions and other factors, as usual, states the report. In 1939, turkey production broke all records, and prices averaged sev eral cents under 1938 despite a level of consumer purchasing power ma terially higher than during the prev ious marketing season. On the other hand, potato production in 1939 was near average in quantity, and prices responded upward to the more favor able consumer demand situation as compared with the year before. Demand prospects for the 1940-41 marketing season remain somewhat uncertain with recovery from the -«resent recession expected but much depends upon the course of war. '"¡’’•m costs average approximately •.6 per cent higher than a year ago, according to the government index of nrices paid by farmers for taxes, in- '•'-rest and commodities used in pro- luction. Farm wage rates are ex- «ected to increase somewhat, also. -ARM PLAN SHEETS ARE BEING FILLED JUT BY FARMERS Umatilla county farmers who take pait in the agricultural conservation program are now making plans for continued participation by filling out ‘farm plan” sheets, showing how .hey expect to arrange this year’s .arming operations so as to get the most good out of the federal pro gram. Each farmer who participates in 1940 must sign a farm plan sheet be fore May 1, according to A. R. Cop pock, chairman of the Umatilla coun ty agricultural conservation commit tee. Farmers who have not partici pated previously may still sign up, having until May 1 to do so. Farm plan sheets may be signed at the assistant county agent’s office in Hermiston. Mr. Coppock pointed out that farm ers who fill out the sheets have on hand valuable information showing how much they can earn to aid in carrying on soil improvement work, and what conservation practices should be followed in order to get this assistance. Indications are that approximate ly 2500 farms in Umatilla county will participate in the 1940 program. They represent about 95 per cent of the county’s crop land. The remain ing 5 per cent of crop land consists mainly of small tracts devoted to specialty crops and part time farm ing. During 1939, farmers of this coun ty carried on soil improvement work on 2400 farms, Mr. Coppock said. Among principal conservation prac tices in the diversified areas of the county were the seeding of perennial legumes, grasses, clovers, green man ure crops, trees and also the appli cation of sulphur and superphos phate. In the wheat area the seed ing of crested wheat grass, practice of trashy fallow and the control of perennial noxious weeds were the most important practices performed.

WATER FORECAST MEETINGS CALLED FOR EARLY APRIL Oregon’s mountain snow supplies which supply summer irrigation wa ter appear to be exceedingly short this year.

Work, federal irrigation en gineer at Medford in charge of coop erative snow survey work. At these meetings all available in formation will be pooled and a joint forecast issued for the streams and reservoirs within each district. Grow ers depending on irrigation supplies watch these forecasts and arrange their summer cropping plans accord ingly, so far as possible. Power com panies, municipalities, the forest ser vice and other agencies also make use of the forecasts.

AAA M AN REPORTS WHEAT LOANS NOW BEING REDEEMED, Oregon farmers who took out fed eral crop loans on their 1939 wheat harvest gradually are placing their grain back on the market, and to date have liquidated about two- thirds of their loans, according to Edgar L. Ludwick of Corvallis, sup ervisor of the loan program for Pa cific northwest states. Loans were made to Oregon grow ers on 5.650,000 bushels of wheat. To date, approximately 3,500,000 bushels have been liquidated, Lud wick said. He also stated that Washington and northern Idaho have a similar percentage of loan wheat released, with southern Idaho, Utah and Cal ifornia showing favorably. The loan program has been of ma terial assistance, Ludwick declared, for growers have been able to sell their liquidated wheat at an average price of about ten cents above loan value. Without the loan, many of them would have been forced to sell their wheat at harvest time, taking the lower price then prevailing, he said. Orderly marketing of loan wheat has kept markets from becoming de pressed, Ludwick observed. He ex- nects farmers to continue marketing their loan wheat throughout the next few weeks, since all 1939 loans mature on April 30. Growers whose loan wheat is stored on their farms under seal may renew the loans and have their bins repealed. There are about 2>A mil lion bushels of farm stored wheat in the Pacific northwest states, Lud wick said. Young Wilcox I» Host Glenn Wilcox, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. B.
