NEWS NOTES FROM
WASC0 CO. AGENT
(By A. X. Chase

Nearly 700 farmers of Wasco county
have already replied to the Farm Sur
vey being conducted through this office
in cooperation with State Farm Labor
Specialist, j. w. Brewer and the
United States Department of Agricui-
ture.
Any farmer not yet receiving one of
these blanks should apply for one at
the county agents office as the gov
ernment wants every farm to report.
This is the last week. The purpose is
to get an exact summary of labor,
seed, livestock conditions and crop
acreage to aid in securing maximum
production for the coming year. Some
results have already been secured.
Six hundred farmers report 80, 500
acres of winter wheat planted or an
increase of per cent over their acre
age last year.
| Tons of seed to buy and sell have
been listed. This information has been
/ sent to every farmer in the county and
will undoubtedly result in the sale and
! distribution of thousands of dollars
worth of seed and livestock.
! The farmers Of Wasco county have
several tons of Red Mexican beans for
sale. There should be a market for
these beans right here in the county
There is also good supply of pota.
toes for sale here. These products
should find ready sale in this county.
The farmers of this county could use
several hundred pounds of alfalfa seed
and a carload of spring oats and some
spring barley. There is plenty Of
spring wheat for seed on hand except
Of Early Baart for which there is a
considerable demand.
Cooperating with the Federal EN-
ployment Bureau Of Portland, we have
placed 20 farm laborers during the
past few days. We have listed far
mers who have SIS, 600 worth of breed
ing stock and work stock for sale and
others who have at least S25, 600 worth
of livestock to buy.
