DACK in 1935-36 many Morrow county farmers almost gave up the ghost some did as they saw their wheat seed blown right out of the field and tremendous dust clouds covered homes and landscape. That was a trying time which brought the organization of the Lexington Blow Control district and general intro duction of protective summerfallow practices. So desperate was the situation at the time that a large interest was taken when a meeting was called at Lexington grange hall to discuss soil conservation problems; an in terest so intense that two hundred odd farmers and others braved the snow and cold of a winter storm to attend. The first meeting was fol lowed by an annual meeting in en suing years from which were devel oped many fine ideas. Some of these ideas were applied "trashy fallow," etc., in allaying a fearsome spectacle the land blowing away in dust clouds. It has been recognized at these meetings, however, that wind ero sion is not the only enemy of the soil which the farmer has to com bat. There is water erosion and ro dents ever to be contended with. The entire problem of soil saving was recognized as one demanding concerted effort, but to date there has been no organization perfected for such action. The last legislative session paved the way for such organization in setting up the structure for local soil conservation districts, and it is bring such a district to Morrow county that the referendum to vote on the Heppner Soil Consevation district has been called next Saturday. The proposed district is not a fed eral agency. It is entirely a local farmer controlled vehicle, under state supervision, non-taxable, with the sole purpose of making possible soil erosion control measures that that such agencies as the CCC's wiii be enlarged and their efforts re doubled in the work of permanent improvement over all the country, If such be the case it is logical that those sections organized to take ad vantage of the help will receive it first. That makes organization of the Heppner Soil Conservation dis trict at this time most feasible. Soil conservation is not new in th ; world. The oldest countries, China and Europe have been working at the problem for centuries. For many years foresighted American leaders have preached the coming necessity. Morrow county has already wit nessed that necessity. It is now for the landholders to visit the polls Saturday, if they have not already cast an absentee ballot, and vote for the organization. It must again be emphasized that failure to vote is the same as a vote against the district. The matter is one for very serious consideration.

Q. Can I pledge a Defense Bond as collateral for a bank loan? A. No. Bonds are registered and not transferable. They are payable only to the persons named on the Bond.
