Si ' Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, March 2, 1944 Volume 60, Number 49 o Cattle Up, Sheep Down in County, Summary Discloses Same Results Seen In Oregon and National Checks Cattle are definitely on the up grade while sheep are showing a falling off in Morrow county, in Oregon and over the nation. Auth ority for this statement is found in a tabulation comjpiled by Harry Anderson, livestock inspector on the staff of the First National bank of Portland who based his report on figures pbtairied from the tax records of the 36 counties of the state. Beginning with 1918, and includ ing 1943, the report shows that cattle have increased from 9,433 to 15,483 head, while sheep have de creased from 154,257 to 69,908. In detail the figures beginning with 1928 run as follows: Cattle 4,952, down 47 percent; 1938, 6,627, up 33 x.

That's what happened to the Mustangs in their try for the state tournament against the Parkdale team at the district tournament in Arlington. Score, 29-28. Helix, Echo, Parksdale and Ar lington stayed in for the second night play, with Helix eliminating Echo after a hard fought game and Parkdale taking Arlington in stride. Anyone seeing the teams play would have laid his money on Parkdale, a team resembling in size the big college quints of the north west, while the' Helix boys were just average, young looking kids. Yet, when the final gun was fired Saturday evening, the boys from the Umatilla wheat lands had sub- 1928, 129,799, a drop of 16 percent; 1938, 96,749, down 26 percent; 1941, game while the Parkdale lads like to make their shots from thj middle 80,106, off 17 percent; 1942, 85,723, rf up I percent, ana oz,vvo in a sluirtp of -18 percent.

Combination 4-H Fair and Rodeo -Planned for Fall Revival of Show Meets With Favor At Director Meet A rodeo combined with a strong 4-H club fair is the proposal of the Heppner Rodeo . association as the offering, for the fall-of 1944. This decision was reached at a meeting held in the office of F. W. Turner Saturday evening end presided over by Lee Beckner of lone, president of the association, and attended by several directors and some visitors. A discussion of the rodeo brought to light the fact that there are per formers land stock both available. Several bucking strings are in the field and plenty ,of cowhands can be drawn from the shipyards, it was revealed. Steers for riding and calves for roping generally are lo cal products found in abundance on nearby ranches. At the suggestion of Edwin Hughes, the association readily ac cepted a share of the responsibility in putting more glamor into the 4 H club fair. Hughes proposed that the two shows be combined into one worthwhile production, the ro deo association lending every pos sible assistance in getting the club's exhibits before the people. Not only will the stock be seen in the annual prrade but time will be granted prior to the program in the arena each afternoon for the youngsters to exhibit their sttock in front of the grandstand. This is the assoc iation's proposal and will be carried through if agreeable to those in charge of the fair. No definite date wag set at Sat urday's meeting, athough it was settled that the Heppner show will come no closer to the Pendleton show than two weeks either way. will be others in due time.
