LAYAWAY
Gresham
Take a well-trained and ex­
perienced Kansas Jayhawker
and put him on 52 acres of
good Willamette soil — make
available some equipment and
operating funds. Then add an­
other Jayhakwer and a web­
foot who’s also trained and ex­
perienced and what do you
have?
While this is somewhat over
simplified, these items are ex­
actly the ingredients that have
bEssomed into the well-round­
ed and important North Willa­
mette Horticultural Research
Station at Aurora.
No report on the station would
be complete, however, without
giving due credit to a commit­
tee of local farmers who work­
ed on this project, and the fact
that the County Commissioners
made the land available.
Dr. Dick Bullock, whom I
like to kid about being a "W-
O.I.K.” (A Washington and
Oregon Improved
Kansan)
heads up the program there at
Aurora as Superintendent and
Horticulturist. This means that
Dick, in addition to adminis­
trative chores, also heads up
research work on small fruits
and vegetables.
His webfoot cohort is Dr.
Robert Ticknor, an Oregon
Stater who did graduate work
at Michigan State and worked
in Massachusetts. Bob heads
up the work on nursery crops.
The third partner, very
much in the middle of things.
is one Adren Sheets, who as
junior Horticulturist really
helps make things go Arden
and I are doing our best to get
a good variety of sweet potatoes
that will be adapted to our
area We think if we could get
a normal summer or two that
we might have it. But. as you
know, in order for sweet po­
tatoes to do well, they must
have heat especially some
warm nights.
When I get started on the
North Willamette Station, I
could go on and on. But, in
brief, I think we could say that
research done here (and back­
ed up by basic work at OSU)
has made a real impact on ag-
riculture in this north end of
the valley.
In the main, our present
chemical weed control program
was worked out here. The bush
bean fertility work done here
is the basis for growing the
5,000 odd acres of this crop.
Most of the nursery weed con­
trol recommendations for the
area have been worked out
right here.
In summary, when you have
good qualified people like
Dick, Bob, and Arden, who are
tuned in to the current prob­
lems, and give them the where­
with to work, they can come
up with research information
that’s of real benefit in con-
tributing to our better way of
life.
You’ve heard of the once in
a million opportunity to make
a clever and appropriate re-
mark? Here’s a lulu that a fel-
low related to me the other
day.
It seems that his wife was
shopping for a hand mirror and
while she was in a store ex­
amining one and looking into
it, a clerk came up and asked
if she could be of help. To
which the shopper still hold­
ing up the mirror; replied, No
thanks, I’m just looking.”
Baptist School
Said Successful
The First Baptist church of
Sandy held a successful vaca-’
tion Bible sch;ol during the
past two weeks.
The activities were varied,
but one of the highlights of the
second week of Bible school
was a picnic, held on Thurs-
day, Aug 15. at the home of
Monty and Jo Collins, in Wel­
ches.
Everyone enjoyed having two
summer missionaries working
with the school. They were Pa­
tricia Currie from Trenton,
Tenn., and John McCoy, from
Moultrie. Ga. They had been
working in Bible schools in the
area for the past 10 weeks,
and will be returning to their
respective homes shortly.
On Friday, Aug. 16. at 7:30
p.m.,
the
school, held
commencement exercises.

Range Purchase Extends Fishing
The acquisition ot 1,090 acres
of land adjacent to the game
commission’s White river big
game winter range in Wasco
county from the Cody Logging
Co. of Tygh valley will not only
provide more range for big
game animals during the crit­
ical winter months, but may
provide a public fishery on this
game management area as
well.
A. V. Meyers, chief of the
PETRIE IN AIR TRANPORT lands section for the g a m e
Richard H. Petrie, seaman commission, said the recently
apprentice, USN, son of Mr. acquired land has a high po­
lene Petrie of Brightwood,
tential for the development of
recently reported to the Naval five existing ponds of about
Air Station, Moffett Field, Cal. five acres each for public fish­
for duty with Navy Air Trans­ ing.
port Squadron Eight.
Further
development
of
these ponds will provde public
angling on the area and water­
fowl use, as well as upland
game bird hunting, big game
hunting, and still serve the pri­
mary function as a win­
ter range for deer and elk.
Meyers said that no plans
have been completed for pond
development, but feasibility
studies are under way.
The tract of land lies in bro­
ken parcels adjacent to the
present
management
area
boundaries.
The land falls
within the original project
boundaries as drafted in 1953.
Cost of acquisition of the lat­
est addition to the White River
big game winter range was
$73,000.
AN EDUCATIONAL LOAN from us is one of the
