IP GRANT CO. LANDS IN PROPOSED NEW SOILS DISTRICT Strong sentiment for the establish ment of another soil conservation district in Oregon, tis one to be in the Monument region of Grant county, was expressed at the recent hearing conducted there by William L. Teutsch, assistant director of extension and member of the state soil conservation committee. The hearing was held after 32 land own ers had petitioned the committee for the creation of such a district un der the state law. The proposed district includes about 276,000 acres of grazing and crop land in the vicinity of Mon ument and lying around the north fork of the John Day river. Reasons given by ranchers and stockmen at tending teh hearing for creation of the district were to make possible community action on erosion control, vater and irrigation development, weed and rodent control, range im provement, and generally better land use practices. Another reason cited and one looming in importance throughout the slate was to establish and main tain a district so as to be ready to cooperate in any public works pro gram which may develop in the post-war period. The 50 land owners attending the hearing, who operate more than half of the area included in the proposed district, were unanimously in favor of organizing the district, and they estmated that 90 per cent or more of the land owners favor such ac tion, Teutsch reported. Under the regular practices of the state committee, the record of the hearing will be eonsiderd by i at its May meting, after which a decision will be reached as to whether the district is needed. If the committee decides favorably,, a vote will be called for among the land owners, a majority of whom, owning 60 per cent or more of the land, must vote favorably before the district can be set up. Other members of the state com mittee are Robert W. Warrens, For est Grove, chairman; Dean William A. Schoenfeld, O. S. C; G. W. Frank lin, Enterprise, and Charles E. Strieklin, state engineer, Salem. M. E. Knickerbocker, Grant county ag ent, Carl Ewing, superivisor of the Umatilla national forest, and, J. H. Parkins of the SCS, took part in the hearing. Floyd Jones drove to Pendleton yesterday to bring Mrs. Jones from the hospital. She has made good recovery from an operation under gone in the Umatilla county seat last week.

Heppner Gazette Times, May 7, 1 942 7 Time Yet to Plant Victory Garden, Said Those who haven't yet started a farm victory garden, for any reason, still have plenty of time for grow ing the principal summer and fall crops, says C.

Hedda Hopper's Hollywood Gardeners May Help Supply Spice Shortage Oregon victory gardeners may have an opportunity this year to supplement the dwindling supply of spices from abroad by growing an herb garden, points out C. D. Conrad, county agent. Most of America's Everything points to less food being available for sale to civilians, both because of transportation difficul ties and increased demands for army and lend-lease use A garden on every farm means that food will be produced for nearly one-third of the nation's population right where it will be used. spices came from the far east With supplies from there cut off, there is likely to be considerable need be fore the year is over for home-grown materials to take their place. Most seed stores serving Oregon list from seven to as high as 25 dif ferent kinds of herbs and seasoning materials which may be grown in most parts of the state, points out Conrad. Among these are parsley, summer savory, basil, sweet marjor am, dill, naturtium, sage, mint, thyme, chives, tarragon and garlic. Many of the green leafy herbs, such as parsley, are high in essen tial vitamin and minerals in addi tion to their flavoring value. Parsley is a good source of vitamin A when used in large quantities in season ing. Many of these herbs can also be dried and stored for winter use. C. E.
