EARI BUREAU NEWS
From the Morrow County Farm Bureau Nevsl

some time ago in a discussion of the
Of planting sunflowers in
large quantity in Morrow county. 1t
was decided that we would not go
into the matter in very strong de-
gree, but would try and arrange to
have several plots put in and watch
lie matter this season and see how
vel they seem to be adapted to the
Morrow county soil before we get
out and make a lot of noise about it.
Following out the instructions Of the
Executive Committee therefore, the
County Agent has arranged with 4
number of farmers to put in enough
for Unconstitutional purposes. These
demonstrations are scattered all the
way fom lone, Hardman, Eightmile,
Sand Hollow, Rhea Greek and up
Hinton creek. Several farmers who
are convinced that they will be able
to grow these sunfowers successful
ly have undertaken to put in quite
large tracts. Among these are Ed
Nelll Of Echo on Butter creek; Frank
McMenamin, who has ranch across
the river from Arlington; Bob
Thompson. who has ranch on WIN
low creek: and John Kilkenny on
Hinton creek. These will give US
ample plots for further study, and if
they materialize anything like as
we'll as We have reason to believe
they will, the Morrow County Farm
bureau will shoulder her musket and
go out on her campaign right for
1921. However, I'VE would like to
see Just how the land lies before we
try to jump upon it. The Farm Bur
eau bought a small amount of seed
and has distributed it out to various
farmers to grow on their own ranches
| for demonstational purposes.

is safe to say that from the ground
north of Lexington at least 80 and
possibly 95 per cent Of all summer
fallow was plowed by the vrst day OF
May. In view Of the moisture condi-
tions this year this was an exception
al record. In tbe heavier land south
Of Lexington this is not entirely true.
The unusual amount Of moisture has
delayed farming very largely but
this has not been a total loss, as long
as the moisture has kept in the
ground as it has this year there is
no doubt but that the farmers have
n later limited period for getting
their blowing done. In trip over
the county it is manifest to any OBJ
server that in the heavy land the
ground this year is turning up very
cloddy and loose, and unless careful
effort is made to work this down
again there will be lot of moisture
escape and will not be good deep
bed developed. The Rood brothers
ON Heppner Flat have undertaken
to disk all of their ground and this
will clearly overcome the loose ly-
ing clod. Where the ground has
been well disked, as good many
farmers have done, there will be a
clear bond of loose dirt between the
su0-soil and the surface material.
Where the ground is heavy and disk
ing has not been practiced very often
one can hide a good-sized rabbit un-
der the farrow. This does not mean
good summerfallow. Every farmer
should study his own soil conditions
and see what can be done to over
come this. The sub-surface packer,
under these conditions, will be of
considerable advantage. doubt if
there is anything that will quite
equal the disking of the ground pre-
vious to plowing where this condi-
ton appears likely to exist. While
early plowing is decidedly important
it is necessary also to work the
ground down so as to get good seed
bed for the growing of the grain for
next season. Where the ground
breaks up cloddy it will have to be
narrowed just exactly right in order
to accomplish this. We would like
to commend to the farmers in the
county the use of the disk harrow on
the ground to be summerfallowed
where the land is very heavy even il
it may be plowed reasonably early
Another point that is showing W
most remarkably is the fact that the
farmers are plowing deeper than they
have for several years. A good many
farmers have called at the Agents
Office and stated how they are turn
ing up new dirt that they have nevel
disturbed before. We believe tina

The Morrow County Wool Pool

We would like to call especial at
tention to the wool growers of the |
county that following considerable
discussion by executive committee
men, several of the farmers of Nor
row county have decided to form
wool pool which they invite every |
grower TO join. 1t is the belief of |
those that made a careful study Of
the matter that coarse wool will be
drug on the market earlier in the sea-
son. 1t is quite clear, we believe, |
that if a man has less than five hun
dred fleeces of wool he will not be |
able to get desirable price on such
a small quantity, and it is clearly to
his advantage TO pool his wool with |
other growers so as to have his wool |
carefully graded and put in with an
amount of wool that will be sufficient |
to call forth reasonable qualified |
bid In this way every grower is alb
solutely insured of what his wool is
actually worth by competent grad
ing. 1t is planned to place the wool
in the hands of competent manage
ment in some consignment warehouse
in Portland, where it will be care
fully watched over by a committee
man representing Eastern Oregon
and Western Oregon wool pool. Al
though we wish it clearly understood
that all Eastern Oregon wool will be
kept separate and distinct from val
ley wool, simply graded under the
supervision of the same man. We
have made special arrangements
with consignment houses so that we
will be able to get an advance Of from
rs to so per cent of the market value
of the wool, as soon as placed in the
warehouse. The details of this wool
pool may be secured by consultation
with the Cunty Agent and we would
advise anyone interested to act i'm =
mediately so that prompt action may
be secured.

Farm Bureau and College Get
Quick Action

About TWO weeks ago the alfalfa
and irrigation committeeman Of the
Boardman Farm Bureau, Mr.. Cobb,
called the attention Of the County
Agent to some alfalfa which had died
during the winter. An inspection in
dioated that drainage was probably
necessary. Accordingly a request
was put in to the Agricultural Col
lege for a drainage expert and Prof.
". L. Powers, professor Of soils and
irrigation, and drainage was at once
dispatched. He arrived and went
over the Boardman proposition with
Mr.. Dean and Mr.. Hunt the day be
fore the West Extension Irrigation
board meeting. A committee of the
Boardman Farm Bureau, the County
Agent, and Mr.. Powers met with the
District board and with the Reclaim
alton Service at Hermiston on Tues
day Of this week, at which time plans
were arranged by which the irriga-
tion district with the cooperation of
the settlers will institute proceedings
at once, that is within the next few
weeks to relieve the present emer-
gency and take away the threatening
water, while action will be institute
ed by the Reclamation Service to Sc
cure the assistance of their body in
putting in permanent drains. The
engineers of the Reclamation Ser
vice will make the necessary field
surveys. This is matter of vital

this is stepping in the right diree-
ton. We are not prepared to say eX-
actly how deep we should plow but
everything points to plOwing at least
S OF 9 inches deep, once every three
or four years. Flowing S or 3 inches
deep is a pretty discouraging propo-
sition where horse tesh is employed
but several farmers have put on eight
or ten head of horses on a two-bottom
plow and have gone right down after
the real old soil. Where an engine

The Peoples Bank Statement.

The official statement of the Peo-
Piles Bank of this city, which we pub
lsh in this issue, showing the condi-
ton of the bank at the close of bust
ness on May 20, 1920, makes very
creditable showing indeed.
The resources OF the bank total
$4oo766.7o with cash reserve and due
from other banks subject to check,
amounting to $7o,S225o.
Since the statement was made the
usual four per cent semi-annual divi-
dend has been declared and $4,000
placed in the surplus fund bring.l
that fund up to total OF $22,5oo.
The Peoples Bank is differed by
capable and careful business men and
the large patronage which it enjoys
is evidence that it has the confidence
OF the people OF this county. Since
the day OF its organization it has
live stock market re-
port which makes it possible for the
farmers and stock raisers to know the
of the Kansas City live
stock market each business day. This
is an invaluable service to those
handling stock and the bank is de-
serving of much commentator for
giving it.
The Peoples Bank ranks as one of
the best financial institutions in this
part of the state. We are glad to
call special attention to it in these
columns.
