Rice Finds Well
Valuable Asset
Continued drouth is causing wor
ry among many of the farmers and
stockmen of Morrow county, what
with diminishing water supplies and
attendant shortage of feed. There is
one farmer who perhaps has less
worry about water shortage than
many of his neighbors. That farmer
is R. B. Rice.
About 1915 Rice had the good for
tune to bring in an artesian well on
his place. Since that time in good
season or bad there has been water
for all domestic needs with seeming
ly no drop in the volume. Where he
might otherwise have been forced
to follow the lead of some of his
neighbors, Mr. Rice has stayed with
the ship through all sorts of rough
weather.
SEES FAIR'S INSIDES
Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Githens vis
ited over the week end at the Spen
cer Crawford home, leaving Sunday
on the return to their home at Berke
ley, Cal., Parents of Mrs. Crawford,
the Githens also enjoyed greeting
old-time Heppner neighbors and
friends. Mr. Githens plied his trade
as carpenter for several months the
last year on Treasure Island, scene
of San Francisco's big fair, in which
opportune position he reports learn
ing much of the inside workings of
the big fair organization. He said
lights for the fair alone cost $6000 a
day, that total daily overhead ex
pense is $18,000. He and Mrs. Githens
were present the day of the fair's
largest attendance when 187,690 cus
tomers passed through the turnstiles,
Nineteen thousand cars were parked
on the island. This was Sunday, Oc
tober 8. "The island was really
jammed that day," said Mr. Githens,
adding that total attendance for the
season was about 50 per cent short
of what was originally calculated
to be necessary before a profit
could be shown. While the fair itself
is in the red, Mr. Githens said Cali
fornia by and large has enjoyed its
most prosperous tourist season in
history, making up for any deficit in
gate receipts. That is why Los An
geles is working to have the fair
moved there for exhibition next
year, he conjectured.
DOCTOR LIKES ROCHESTER
"This is certainly a great place.
Something doing every minute and
something new every now and then.
Hope it has rained at home by this
time." Such is the wee bit o' news
received this week by post card
from Dr. A. D. McMurdo who is
taking a special course at Mayo
Brothers world-famous clinic at
Rochester, Minn. The card was
dated Oct. 19. A color engraving
showing a beautiful country home
near Rochester completed the card's
message.
No intimation was given in Dr.
McMurdo's card as to when he ex
pected to return, but either as a
tribute to his fast traveling or the
slowness of Uncle Sam's mail, he
beat the card to town. The "doctor
came Monday evening and the card
didn't get here until Tuesday morn
ing. And just to get in a little deer
hunting before it was too late, the
doctor hied himself to the timber
immediately to remain until the sea
son's close last night.
SNOW AT CAMAS PRAIRIE
Foster Collins was in town yester
day from the ranch on Camas prai
rie and reported half an inch of
snow there. A few days before Mr.
Collins went out and got himself a
little two-point buck, considerably
smaller than the one he brought in
a few years back to win the gun for
the largest buck brought in that
year.
ON FOREST WORK
George Clisby and Mr. Frazier of
the engineering office have been at
work in the local forest district for
the last two weeks triangulating air
maps for the location of peaks. Their
work will continue for some time.
LICENSE ISSUED
License to wed was issued at the
clerk's office October 18 to Miss
Lola Cannon, daughter of Mrs. Ada
Cannon of Hardman, and Marvin
Hughes, son of Mrs. Grace Hughes
of this city.

will return from Washington, D.

GILMAN HEADS SCORERS
Home folks who watch the col
lege football scoreboards note with
satisfaction that Len Gilman is lead
ing Northwest conference scorer to
date and thus a big factor in help
ing Pacific U. maintain its three
straight wins, no defeats, confer
ence lead. Following last Friday's
14-0 defeat of Whitman at Walla
Walla, Len and friend, George Ra-
cette, accompanied Harlan McCur
dy, Jr., to Heppner for a visit over
Saturday and Sunday before heading
back to Forest Grove preparatory
to mixing it with the Eons at La
Grande tomorrow. On the opposing
team Len will probably face a cou
pie of Morrow county friends, Fred
Hoskins, Jr., and Vernon Knowles,
who have berths on the Eon squad
In last Friday's game, Len hung up
eight of his team's points, but if
those other home lads at La Grande
have their way he probably won't
be in the scoring column tomorrow.
TREES HAVE 4500 USES
Washington, D. C, Oct. 25 For
ests of the Pacific northwest are
used for other purposes than lum
ber for housing, mining timbers and
fuel. Forest service of the depart'
ment of agriculture lists 4,500 uses
of trees, and they range from sau
sage casings to linoleums and phono
graph records. From a chemico-in
dustrial standpoint, cellulose is the
most important part of wood, says
the forest report. It is the common
raw material from which paper is
made, and also rayon. For paper
consumption alone there were 225
pounds in 1936 for every man, wo
man and child in the United States.

MARKET FACTOR CITED
Washington, D. C, Oct. 25 Warn
ing is issued by the department of
agriculture that the increase in ex
port demand for United States pro
ducts will be smaller than in the
World war. There may also be a de
lay in the foreign purchases until
the belligerants organize their pro
gram. One item alone for farmers to
remember is that there will be no
American expeditionary force sent
to Europe, and it was the feeding
of American soldiers that provided
a large market for American agri
cultural products and meats in the
World war days.

AAA Sets Nov. 30
Closing Date of
1939 Ag. Program
The books of the 1939 agricultural
conservation program in Oregon will
be closed on November 30, accord
ing to a decision of the state AAA
committee, and any farm practices
completed after that date will apply
to the 1940 program.
The early closing date is necessary
so that county conservation offices
will have time to submit all appli
cations for 1939 AAA payments by
March 31, 1940, said Will Steen, state
committee chairman.
Specifications for the 1940 conser
vation program in Oregon have been
drawn up, Steen said, and it is ex
pected that the new handbooks ex
plaining next year's practices will
be ready for distribution by the
first of January.
The 1940 agricultural conservation
program will begin officially on De
cember 1, 1939, and end November
30, 1940. This year's AAA range
program will not end until Decem
ber 31, but in 1940 it will terminate
on the same date as the farm pro
gram, according to Steen.
First 1939 payment has been made

to Francis E. Lilly of Bonanza,

list for receiving first checks were
Klamath, Multnomah, Umatilla, Ba
ker, Hood River and Wasco counties.
It is expected that approximately
31,000 applications for 1939 conser
vation payments will be made by
Oregon farmers, said N. C. Donald
son of Corvallis, state executive. The
payments are made as an aid to car
rying on soil building and soil con
serving practices, or for keeping
within wheat, potato, or commercial
vegetable allotments.
Conservation payments to Oregon
farmers cooperating with the 1939
AAA program will total about $3,
483,000, Donaldson added. Other
federal farm payments, including
those for the sugar beet program
and the wheat price adjustment pro
gram will probably bring the year's
total agricultural benefits in Oregon
to more than five million dollars.
Young bicycle riders, don't forget
that the winter twilight is a dan
gerous time of the year due to the
fact that visibility is poor and mo
torists may be unable to see you
unless your bicycle is properly
equipped with lights, warns a mes
sage from the state safety division.
Always ride near the right side of
the street and never ride two or
more abreast if you wish to avoid
being hit.
