TWENTIETH RODEO
TWENTY years ago C. W. McNam
er, L. V. Gentry, Charles La tour-
ell, Jack French, et als, conceived, he Ltriwm iTT' !
xJ ,.f,,ii j .u- . tne district will be organized
Heppner Rodeo.
The first Rodeo had its setting on
the corner of Chase and May streets
where the Ferguson cabins now
stand. There were few facilities for
show or spectators, but the lists
were well filled with local talent
and the confidence of its directors
was so well substantiated that a
strong demand was made for Ro
deo's continuation.
The second year the site was tak
en from land then operated by Mr.
Gentry where an area was fencpd
off and a barn built. That was the
Conservation of
Soil Furthered
By Five Districts
With the completion of a hearing
on a proposed soil conservation dis
trict in Lake county, the state SCS
committee has now held nine such
hearings leading to final organiza
tion of five districts, reports W. L.
Teutsch, assistant director of ex
tension at Oregon State college, who
assisted Robert H. Warrens, Forest
Grove, chairman of the state com-
mitttee, in holding the hearing. At
least 10 districts are expected to he
completed in the state bv the end
of this year.
The hearing just held was on a
proposed district for the Crooked
creek area where 27 land owners
had requested the organization of a
district as a means of getting coop
erative action on water conserva
tion, creek bank erosion control and
range water development. Whether
will
depend on the state committee s ac- I
tion based on sentiment developed
at the hearing.
Soil conservation districts are
formed under the terms of an Ore
gon law enacted in 1939. The dis
tricts organized and ooeratincr at.
present are the Necanicum and War.
renton districts in Clatsop county,
i-angell valley in Klamath county,
Keeting in Baker county and South
iillamook in Tillamook county.
Districts in the process of organ
ization include South Wasco in Was
co county, Heppner district in Mor
row county; Nehalem district which

rolling hills where cowboys and In
dians were wont to rove in olden
days.
When Rodeo's fathers conceived
the show, they had definite ideas of
the type of show that could be suc
cessfully presented'. It was to foster
free and open competition with all
comers being given a fair krv.Qt
That tradition has been followed by
and the Siuslaw district in western
Lane county.
The South Tillamook district was
the first to be organized in the Pa
cific northwest. It includes 20,000
acres and maintains headquarters
for the Soil Conservation service at
Woods.
To form a soil conservation dis
trict, at least 25 land owners involv
ed must petition the state commit-
all succeeding directors. President I Z I t l " T conit
Beckner nrf L lW?' S ! tee" heannS . th" held to mea
sure sentiment after which a refer
endum by land owners in the dis
trict will be called, with GO per cent
favorable majority necessary to au
thorize the proiect.
I The state committee is composed
of Chairman Warrens; Director W.
A. Schoenfeld and Teutsch of Cnr.
vallis; Charles E. Stricklin, state en
gineer, and G. W. Franklin, Enter
prise.
Beckner and his helpers are making
the same regulations, and this year
have gone so far as to appoint only
two judges, leaving it to the per
formers to choose the third, to allay
any aoubt ot tair intentions.
Every year that Rodeo has been
presented the prize money has been
given as advertised, and for the last
several years all entrance fees have
been added to purses, though few
years have brought an overplus of
income with which to build needed

wunai Koaeo has made possible
the fine recreation grounds for pre
sentation of school and community
athletic events. It has given all Mor
row county a common interest for
expression of a cooperative spirit
that has proved helpful to town and
country, and through drawing neigh
bors from adjacent counties it has
prolonged and encouraged the type
of hospitality for which the old west
was noted.
Rodeo's twentieth anniversary
is marked by a good year, econom
ically, though the shadow of war
clouds cast an eerie shadow. Still
it 13 with a spirit of western inde
pendence that this year's show is
welcomed the spirit of the pioneer
will conquer problems of the mor
row as it did the obstacles of the
early days,
New Ice Cream
Store Opens Today
Rodeo visitors come to Heppner
just in time to help greet one of the
nicest refreshment centers in east
ern Oregon, Sootty's Super Creamed
Ice Cream store.
Modernisticly designed and equip
ed throughout, the new store, oper
ated by Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Hall,
recently of Vancouver, Wash., itself
is refreshing in appearance, and its
proprietors guarantee an increased
demand for ice cream locally once
patrons have tasted their "freezer
fresh" product.
It has been the history of these
stores that they do not hurt other
businesses dispensing ice ere im,
say Mr. and Mrs. Hall, and it is not
their desire to do so. Rather, the
increased advertising for ice cream
resulting from the store's operation
has really boosted the business of
other refreshment places. Ice cream,
tfaey believe, can stand more use in
the diet every place, for it is whole
some food aa well as refreshing.
Campaign Boosted
On Oregon Farms
Oregon farmers are already re
sponding to the call of the govern
ment to increase the production of
certain foods needed in the defense
program, according to a progress
report submitted to the secretary of
agriculture by the newly-created
U. S. D. A, defense board. This
report, compiled by the extension
service at the request of Robert B,
Taylor, chairman of the state AAA
committee and chairman of the new
board, shows increases in produc
tion of nearly all the defense foods,
including dairy, poultry and pork
products and certain canning veg
etables.
Total milk production in Oregon
is up 8 per cent so far this year,
though increased consumption of
fluid milk has kept the output of
manufactured dairy products down
somewhat. Cheese production, par
ticularly urged by the government.
is up sharply, but partly at the ex
pense of butter and condensed milk

output.
The present price ratio between
dairy feeds and butteriat is favor
able to liberal grain feeding in most
areas of the state, the report shows.
A new extension bulletin will
available soon on feeding and man
agement by the dairy industry in
relation to the food for defense program.
Increased acreage of canning to
matoes and corn are noted in th.
report and marked progress is re
ported in the production of green
peas and green beans for process
ing. Oregon s total acreage of com
mercial truck crops for processing is
given at 39,710 acres in 1941, com
pared with 35,470 acres in 1940.
Oregon will have from 5 to 10 per
cent more laying hens this fall than
last. With emphasis placed on tet
ter methods of feeding, manage
ment and housing, poultrymen of
this state are apparently well on
their way to supplying their hare
of the needed increase in egg pro
duction. The principal DrohVms
listed are scarcity and high cost of
certain feed concentrates and the
shortage of good farm labor.
Increased pork production is ham
pered by higher cost of feed grains
A wheat feeding program sponsored
by the experiment station and ex
tension service has resulted in con
siderable progress in this respect,
particularly in areas where pasture
is also available.
