Cattle Up, Sheep

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

A miss is as good as a mile, but

Mustangs did last Thursday night
and plays an even-Steven game

margin it's just too bad. 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.

WE SHOULD GIVE MORE IN '44
Because (he war has spread to many lands, all far distant, and our
armed forces are far from their native land, and because the war
effort is speeding up, with increased numbers of casualties and
fewer leaves for the fighting men, calling for extensions of service
beyond anything ever experiencd, because of these factors and
countless others we will have to give more to the Red Cress in
J944. If not solicited, send your contributions to the First Na
tional Bank of Portland, Heppner branch. Send them now and
help close the Morrow county campaign in short order.

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.
