Grain Study Shows Lack "Results of a four-vear sturtv comparing 220 field tests on grain lerimzation snow 60 per cent of our grainlands barley, wheat, and oats to be deficient in both nut rients." So Indicated W. t. Mar tin, extension soils specialist of the University of California, before the annual meeting of the American Plant Food Council recently. Farm Advisor Ken Baghott states that much of the grain land In Tulelake gives profitable response to nitrogen, according to test plot results. He also indicates that a large acreage of the county's rangelapd could be improved by the use of new species of clover plus proper applications of phosphorous. He points out that as brush areas re cleared by fire or mechanical means, fertilizers will play an in creasing part in maintaining good growth of newly seeded species of grasses and legumes on these lands. As more irrigation water becomes available, and irrigated pasture moves into the foothill lands, such pasture will require both nitrogen and phosphorous, v CtLmilS.

Bsra T. Benson secretary of agriculture, has Indicated that be cause of the nation's large supply Oi wheat now Id sight be will very likely issue a statement calling for wheat marketing quotas on nest year' wheat crop. If the proclamation comes, the existing law requires that a ref erendum be conducted by July 34, Smith reports. Wheat farmers would have two alternatives. They could accept production controls and a guaranteed price of M per cent of parity, or they could vote for no controls and be guaranteed SO per cent of parity on their 1954 crop. , The situation is the result of several developments, according to PMA Administrator Howard H. Gordon. First, production has, in general, caught up with the post- Korea demand. Current needs have been met: reserves have been rebuilt. .. . . Smith explained that the law re quires that growers must appruva quotas by at least a two-thirds ma-' Jorlty before they, can be put into effect. If they fail to approve quotas, the price support level tor lOM's crop will drop to M per cent of parity under the present law. Aa the law now stands, all grow ers with IS or more acres of wheat would be eligible to vote. 12,000 Oregon farmers. A proposed amendment would ' boost the re quirement to 25 acres and reduce the number of farmers eligible to vote. ' ' DANCE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY Pee Wee St-idhom Red Barn Dorris .;.-.
