PAGE TWENTY-FOUR HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON 45TH ANNIVERSARY BOOSTER EDITION CLASS OF STOCK BEST SUITED TO RANGE (O. A. C. Extension Service.) In general, cattle and horses use a grass range to better advantage than do sheep. By "grass range" we mean a range in which the dom inant forage plants are true grasses, as distinguished from weeds and similar forage, such as we find in the higher mountain districts. Sheep relish the tender green leaves and also the seeds of many grasses, but they eat sparingly of the coarse or dry stems and loaves. Cattle, on the other hand, consume a much larger portion of the coarse grass. Sheep will eat part, or all, of most weed species on closely grazed range and often prefer the succulent weed to true grass. On the other hand, only a small percentage of weeds are palatable to cattle. Both sheep and cattle eat considerable browse; but sheep eat more than cattle, though cattle reach higher than sheep and get more forage from high growing browse species, such as scrub onk. service berry, and mahogany. Grass range may be quite suitable to sheep when the grasses are young and tender, and most of the early spring ranges used for sheep are grass ranges. The fall and winter sheep ranges in Oregon are, to quite a considerable extent grass ranges. There is. in fact, not as much differ ence In the requirements of sheep and cattle for spring or fall range as there is for midsummer range. Altitude alone makes little differ ence in the suitability of a range to cattle or sheep. The higher ranges however, commonly run more to weeds and succulent forage o' that nature and less to he pure grasses, which fact tends to make them more suitable for sheep than for cattle. On the othei hand, the high er altitudes may be less suitable for sheep than for cattle, nr, they mav be less suitable for cattle because of ruggedness.

NO DELINQUENT TAXES A BRIEF HISTORY OF A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT TWO years ago Dodge Brothers embarked upon a pro gram designed to place it and its Dealer Organization in a position on January 1, 1928, second to none in the industry. The astonishing results of this great achievement are now known to the world. It is doubtful if industrial annals can dte, over a similar period, an achievement so outstanding. A smart, swift, low-priced and immensely popular qual ity Four has replaced its famous predecessor. The Senior Six, outstanding In performance, quality and luxurious appointment, has been created. Graham Brothers Tracks and Motor Coaches (formerly exclusively Fours) have been supplemented by sixes. Fifty new types have been added. The capacities are broadened to range from one-half ton to two-tdn, all resulting in the most complete and capable line of work cars known, and with prices ranging from $670 to $4290. Then Thursday came The Victory a Six for $1045 and up the most spectacular engineering achievement of the decade. These accomplishments, one following the other in steady progression, nave now provided Dodge Brothers Dealers throughout the world with the most diversified and com prehensive line of passenger and commercial vehicles ever manufactured and sold by a single organization. For every need and purse there is now a Dodge Brothers vehicle built dependably and in full recognition of the progressive Ideals of today and tomorrow.

CITY GARAGE, HEPPNER CHRYSLER DISTRIBUTORS WiimmMHBMIlllHM ill I .mm. The above view is of the front of the City garage, probably the best equipped general garage and repair shop west of Portland. This is also the Morrow county home of the popular Chrysler automobile that has been breaking all manner of records of late. The business is owned and oper ated by W. L. LaDusire, for the past seven years a resident of this locality who took over this business four years ago and during this time has made a marked success of it The garage is particularly well equipped with all manner of the latest and most highly improved machinery for all manner of auto repair, auto electrical and battery work. A big line of parts, accessor ies, tires, tubes, etc., are carried. Mr. LaDusire, who gives the super vision of the business his personal attention, is himself an expert auto mechanic as he has served in these lines for the past 17 years. An important feature of this bus iness is battery service, the re charging of and rebuilding of bat teries and the sale of the well known "Presto Lite" batteries. Radio a Big Feature. The City garage is the official agency for the Atwater Kent and Colster radio sets, two makes that are today heralded as the leaders in radio. They are also equipped to handle service for any make of radio. In the City garage we have a busy coming Industry and an exam ple to quote in this issue as one of the business successes achieved here. In its operator, W. L. LaDu sire we have a progressive public spirited booster. He looks to 1928 as a banner year in the automobile and radio field. LARGE ACREAGE GIVEN TO WHEAT Wheat is the most Important farm crop in Eastern Oregon. In the 18 counties east of the Cascade mountains there were in 1919, ac cording to the United States Bu reau of Census, more than 700,000 acres devoted to the raising of wheat for seed. There were also about 127,000 acres of cereals, most ly wheat, cut for forage. As prac tically all wheat grown in this sec tion is alternated with fallow, there were in 1919 at least 1,250,000 acres of land devoted to wheat raising for seed and perhaps an additional 100,000 acres were cut for hay. Ac cording to the census figures, the acreage in barley ranked second for the cereals in these counties with approximately 52,000 acres, rye third with 36,000 acres, and oats fourth with 32,700 acres. There were also in these counties about 500,000 acres devoted to for age crops other than cereals. The acreage in wheat for seed and hay, exclusive of the fallowed area, therefore, was about equal to that of all other cereals and forage crops combined. JOHN SKUZESKI IS CAPABLE TAILOR Among other lines of business well represented at Heppner is a first class, modern tailoring estab lishment. Not the mail order var iety, but a real tailoring concern owned and operated by a man of many years experience, John Sku zeski. Young Skuzeski learned his trade years ago in the employ cf some of the larger eastern firms. Coming to the west he first settled at Portland, where, for some years he conducted a like establishment. He moved to Heppner in 1924 and started a shop. His work soon be came well known and his business grew. Today he owns his own building, a modern tailoring estab lishment, such a one as any larger city might well be proud of, and numbers his patrons from all sec tions of the county. Every suit is cut and made in his shop under his personal supervision. Here is a home industry that should re ceive every support and coopera tion. His work is well know.i as of the highest grade and prices are very reasonable as he does his own work and so eliminates muca pay roll expense not possible in the larger centers. The shod is also equipped for general repair wv.k, cleaning, pressing, etc. College Names Gatlin Marketing Specialist Oregon State Agricultural Col lege, Corvallis, Jan. 18. George O.
