PROJECT
Steps Taken to Improve
Condition' of Wells
Springs Cemetery.
RELIEF WORK CITED
Mllsom Tells of Funds Received In
Umatilla County; Action Tak
en on Heppner-Spray Road.
Preliminary steps toward doing
necessary ciean-up ana repair work
at the Wells Springs Memorial cem
etery on tne Old Oregon Trail as a
uecoration Day project were taken
by the Heppner Lions at their Mon
day luncheon. An inspection of the
plot will be made tomorrow by C.
W. Smith and G. A. Bleakman and
a report on the requirements made
next Monday. It is planned to or
ganize a working crew to undertake
the task either on or before Decor.
ation day, with the work in charge
or a committee to be named next
week.
Attention of the club was called
to the project in a letter from Jas.
M. Burgess, assistant state superin
tendent of public instruction and
first president of the Heppner Lions
ciuo, wno visited the cemetery on
a recent trip to the county and
found it in bad repair. Marking
tne site where Cornelius Gilliam
was fatally wounded by accident in
the Indian Wars of 1848. and when
unnamed emigrants of the Old Ore
gon i rail lie buried, is a monument
erected at the cemetery in 1926 by
The Dalles chapter Daughters of
the American Revolution. In 1926
also, Heppner residents contribut
ed for the placing of a wire and
iron fence about the memorial plot,
and on June 6 of that year an es
timate! 1,500 people participated In
appropriate dedicatory ceremonies.
County Should Get Share
Jack Milsom of Pilot Rock told
the Lions how Umatilla county had
received S18.000 and wna In lino tn
receive more money, through the
iteeonstruction Finance corpora
tion unemployment relief fund, a.d
how the money had been used in
that county. Milsom is president
ot the Pilot Rock chamber of com
merce and until recently was a
member of the committee in charge
of distribution of the relief fundi
in Umatilla county. He believed
that Morrow county had been neg
ligent in not having made applica
tion sooner for its nnrtinn nf these
funds, stressing the fact that the
money comes as an outright girt
rrom tne reueral government which
does not look to the county or state
directly for repayment.
The money may be expended on
any project not carried on for pri
vate gain, he said, in telling how
Umatilla's portion had been used
in improving streets, roads, a ceme
tery and a golf course, the latter
two projects being municipally op
erated. Club members were ad
vised that application for some of
these funds was made this week by
the Morrow county court.
The work carried on under this
fund does not carry restrictions
tagged on to other relief moneys,
Milsom said, permitting anyone in
need of it to be employed and allow
ing him a stipend of $8 a week.
It was proposed by W. W. Smead
that the club work to secure funds
to apply on the Heppner-Spray
road and the Wallula Cut-off thru
another recently established federal
relief agency. Attention was called
to the fact that the Heppner-Spray
road was already included In a list
cf proposed projects which had the
sanction of R. H. Baldock, state
highway engineer, and Walter M.
Pierce, representative in congress.
Bleet With Court
The club instructed Its road enm-
mittee, headed by Al Rankin, to get
in toucn witn tne county court -immediately
to get an understanding
of the court's view on the situation,
in the interests of the Spray road
and, if possible to have a delegation
at the state highway commission
meeting to be held in Portland to
morrow. Time did not permit much addi
tional discussion of the Socratic
league program continued over
from tha previous week. To the
question, what natural privileges
does a citizen of the United States
enjoy, there was a variety of opin
ion. A stirring talk was made by
one member on the theme that priv
ilege implied responsibility, and
that no higher responsibility rested
upon the Ameican people than up
holding and revering the mother
hood of the nation.
An enjoyable duet was sung by
Mrs. Edward F. Bloom and Mrs.
Raymond Ferguson, accompanied
at the piano by Mrs. Jesse O. Tur
ner. Spencer Crawford, president, an
nounced that nomination of officers
for the now year would be held in
two weeks,
Delegates and alternates to the
state Lions convention at Roseburg
to be held June 12-13-14 were named
as follows: Ray Kinne, Earl Eskel
son, Archie D. McMurdo and Al
Rankin. LlonB members on the
municipal park committee named
were Ray Kinne, Frank Turner and
John Anglln,

F. F. Wehmever. rnnpfpr in rhnroo
of the Heppner district, yesterday
accompanied the major in charge
oi me army's part ot tne work in
this district, to Wilson creek and
other Drotwsed sites nf the citizen's
conservation camp to be establish
ed in that vicinity, for the purpose
of picking the site.
No definite announcement had
been received here yesterday as to
whether the local boys, between the
ages of 18 and 25. will be Inr-nted at
this camp, but it la generally pre
sumes tnat they will. Wehmeyer
said the plans for the camp include
the erection of a recreation hall
laundry, and other modern conve
niences.
Work in the local district baa
been delayed by the continued rain
ana snows, Wehmeyer said, but he
believed it was the intention to get
started at the earliest possible mo
ment Proposed work calls for
building 200 miles of trails, cleaning
up the forest and other work of a
protective and conservation nature.
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS MAY BE
SUCCESSOR TO BUNCH GRASS
A native of the dry plains of
Russia and Siberia, crested wheat
grass first came to Morrow county
six years ago. Since that time un
der the immediate guardianship of
Cha W. Smith, county agent, the
possiDinties it has displayed of be
ing the most logical successor to
the famed native bunchgrass as the
county's pasture crop has caused it
to oe aaoptea as a major project by
the extension service of the U. S.
department of agriculture and to
ue recommended lor general plant
ing on mo3t lands north of the base
line.
The native bunchgrass failed to
withstand the inroads of civiliza
tion, and has largely disappeared,
lessening the value of the county's
range lanas to a large degree. It
was to rehabilitate then lnnna that
the extension service fostered the
planting of many imported grasses
m nurseries ana Meld plots over
the countv. in which
qualities of crested wheat grass
were eariy snown.
Today, most convincing results of
the work of the extension
are in evidence, with 360 acres of
lana all told growing the grass on
plots varying- from a few rri tn 1
acres in size. The IS m
Al Anderson farm on Dry fork now
upcracea oy juee sparks, Is one of
the oldest niantlnps nn won nn
of the most productive.- One of
tne latest plantings Is that on the
Walter Jenson farm nair Tnna
planted this spring. '
uther places where the grass is
being grown are the R A Thrimn.

Especially attractive at this time
is the 15-acre field on the Sparks
farm which is making a good
growth despite dry spring growing
conditions, and furnishing abund
ant pasture though it is being pro
tected to a degree from the stock
for the purpose of harvesting sejd
xur wmcn at tne present time,
the county agent says the demand
cannot be filled.
An interesting study is afforded
by this field by the fact that adja
cent to ft is a B-nnd ornurth nf
bunchgrass, which Mr. Sparks says
both cattle and sheep will leave in
deference to the wb
dicating the high palatability of the
new grass. The wheat grass, which
grows In bunchees similar to bunch
grass. shows a thicker Bta nrl nnii
in places where It has become well
esiaDiisnea also shows a hardier
growth than the bunchgrass.
J-iast year tne countv no-ent tnnk
30 different head, straw and blade
selections rrom this field and plant
ed them in the Hennner flat ni l raonr
on the Mary Rood Burt farm, for
the purpose of seeing if a more pro
ductive selection could be found,
and also a selection HiiitnMo fnr
hay purposes.
Crested wheat grass Is absolute
ly winter hardy, the county agent
says, as seed that had -not cermin.
ated last winter has been found to
oe coming up now, and also stands
that were thin when first estab
lished because a firm enoiie-h hppH
bed had not been made are also
now coming up.
The wheat erass is not
gency forage crop,, since It rarely
grows enougn tne nrst year to pro
vide much pasture. A wealth of
information on it mav he nhtninon
from the county agent, whose re-
puils concerning it published in
farm neriodieala over Jim
have brought many requests for
information from points near a
far.

Economic eaualitv for A
isiiuutiure witn resultant benefits
to tne enure nation is the object
ive sought in the new farm adjust
ment act which is now the law of
tne land through passage by Con
gress and the signature of Presi
dent Roosevelt Whotho,. u
jectives will be fully attained, time
aione win ten, But meanwhile there
is much in the law to be understood
oy me puonc, ir possible benefits
are to be derived hpn. tha r
Agricultural extension service is
cooperating with the federal de-
pai uueni oi agriculture in supply
ing information regarding the pro
visions oi tne law and their appli
cation to Oreeon eondirimia
The first fact found in a study of
me uui is tnat it is really three
laws in one. The first part deals
with production control and benefit
payment or "farm relief"
and will be administered by the de
partment or agriculture. The sec
ond provides for farm mortgage
credits and will be hnnrilort k.. .
Farm Credits administration; while
uie mira aeals with national cur
rency control and will be used or
not at the discretion nf th.
ueui. ana ms treasury aids.
The purpose of the main or pro
uction control section is to lessen
or wipe out the present spread be
tween the price level at which the
farmer sells basic products wheat,
corn, rice, cotton, tobacco, hogs and
dairy products included in the
measure and the level at which
the farmer buys the commodities
he uses in his business and home.
Three SDecifln me.thnrts rf en-..
pnsning tnis adjustment of produc
tion to demand, any one or all of
which may be put into effect by
the secretary of agriculture, are
briefly described as follows: First,
acreage reduction of the basic ag
ricultural commodities by actual
rental and benefit payments to the
farmers; second, payment of allot
ment benefits on the domestic por
tion of a ctod in return for snenlfli
crop reduction; and third, the use
of marketing agreements with nrn.
cessors and handlers in order to
raise prices to the producer.
The voluntary feature, so far as
the individual nroducer is mnmpn.
ed, is fundamental to the entire bi 1,
as no one is forced to place his
farm under any of the law's provis
ions. The clan is. however, to mak .
the benefits so attractive thnt wMo-
spread farmer participation will be
obtained, according to word from
the Washington authorities.
In this connection a fund is ad
vanced to the department of agri-
Culture with which to stnrt rvotflno-
benefits and thus raise the farmers'
purchasing power to that extent
even before collecting the domestic
Drocesslns tax which will ho nuoi
later to finance the benefits to producers.
More details ns to how tha v..
rlous provisions will be put into ef
fect this season are. expected soon.
Latest word is that existing agen
cies such as the norleultnrnl ovton-
sion service In each state are to be
used to the greatest extent possible
to avoid setting up duplicating ad
ministrative machinery.

luumeoi as seen oy z
The G. T. BEPOBTEB :
Joe Friedenthal was fljnnn? the
traveling gentry to "make" Hepp
ner tn tne good old days when, he
declared, teams and buggies were
to be seen hitched alone- Main
street in larger numbers than auto
mobiles are to be seen today; when
Henry Hennner. the c.itv't o-nrtfath.
er, made his daily pilgrimages about
-uwn; wnen tne Palace notel was in
its heyday; when Dave Herren nrao
one of the leading merchants, and
when there were 15 saloons and
money rolled freely.
Those were some of the recollec
tions of Joe when in town Tuesday,
still in the role of woolen goods
salesman. He effervesced with op
timism. Wool prices in Heppner
win De a cents; wheat, 75 cents, he
predicted, and money will soon roll
ireeiy again.
Joe expressed interest in tho -a,
sales beine held in Portland that
day. The nearly 3,000,000 Dounds

gle amount oi tree wool in the Uni

Joe predicted, ranging from 20 to

AMENDMENT GIVES
NEW LOAN RIGHTS

Crop Production Under Clause
Recently Passed.
Yesterday was a busy da v nt tho
court house, with a large number
of people crowding the court room
i." uute advantage of the last op
portunity afforded locally to take
auto drivers- examinations for li
censes at the 50-cent rate. Folks
were noted, here and von nhnnt h
halls, in offices, digesting the con
tents ot tne little manual for drlv
ers.
After June 9. only those -orhn hn.
not before had licenses
have passed the age limit, those
vrun nnysicai imnerfentinna
tnose from whom licenses hn
been taken away, will be required
to uub tne examinatinn hut tho
price will be Increased to $1.
The examination campaign con-
uiKuea oy tne secretary of state's
uuice nas Deen a good thing. By
making people generally more fa
miliar with driving requirements,
it should raise driving efficiency;
lower the ratio of accidents. Peo
ple will value the holding of a li
cense more highly, too, since it has
been made more difficult to obtain.
Then, there's the fellow Wild WflO
heard to remark that we might go
to the Willamette valley tr o-t o
glimpse of sunshine.
And another, a good Renuhlina.i
who is willin? to
Roosevelt credit for one of the
wettest springs eastern Oregon has
experienced since the Flood.
The only fellow that, i sn't tni wpll
pleased just now is the one with
a bunch of sheep to shear and the
crew reiusing to walk out on him
An amendment to the crop pro
duction loan act, signed by the
president May 1, makes it possible
for farmers to finance their fall
summerfallowiner and seeH-nc nnor-
ttuuns tnrougn tnis source if they
so desire. Applicants who have h-
reaoy received a 1933 eron nrodnc-
tion loan are eligible for an addi
tional JiOO maximum loan undr
the new provision, according to
word from the secretary of seri
culture, who sets out the provisions
oi tne amendment as follows:
1. Applications will be taken at
this time for winter wheat nnlv
wnere summer fallowing is requ:.--
eu.
2. The maximum rate Tier cr
for both seed and fallowing is $1.50
payaoie in instalments. Where ap
plicants have sufficient seed on hand
loans may be made exclusively for
summer laiiowing.
a. tne total amount loaned to any
one individual will not exceed $300
and loans to tenants of any one
landlord in a single county mtnnnt
exceed $2000 in tha aggregate. Ap
plicants must agree to plant this
ian in excess of 70 per cent of the
acreage planted to winter wheat in
1932.
i. Applications for loans must be
mailed in time to be receive at the
crop production loan office, Minne
apolis, not later than May 31, 1933.
5. The procedure to be followed
will be the same as other crop loans
this season, the same annlicatinn
forms being used. Other papers, in
cluding notes, moregages, vouchers,
recordation certincates, etc., will be
new.
It is expected that loans exclu
sively for seeding purposes will be
maoe under definite regulations at
a later date.

COURT DOCKET CALLED.
Judge C, L. Sweek was in the
city yesterday from Pendleton, call.
ing the circuit court docket, to get Charles Klinger, leading turkey

Taking the role of mediator nuts
one much in the same nositinn
the big-hearted man who walked
into a neignDor s nome to subdue a
lamuy quarrel, only to be carried
away in an ambulance.
But admitting that shearers, who
are essential to the county's sheep
industry, are entitled to a just
wage; it must be admitted that op
erators generally have heretofore
been considerate of this fact while
themselves losing money at a rapid
rate, as one operator puts it, he
must himself have advantage of a
considerable part of the present
price increase to regain part of his
losses and continue to operate, and
if shearers are not careful in their
demands they may go so far as to
"kill the goose that lays the golden
egg."
