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.

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.
