Heart Attack Ends
Life of Mrs. Cora
Burroughs of lone
Mrs. Cora Burroughs, one of
the oldest residents of what is
now Morrow county, succumbed

Uev. Alfred Shirley officiating,
with arrangements in charge of
the Calloway funeral parlor of

'lso Night There." Pallbearers

Rietmann, Fred Nlchoson, Dale
Ray, A. Petteys, and Louis Pad
berg. Interment was in the
lone L O. O. F. cemetery.
Born in the Willamette valley
In 1863, Mrs. Burroughs came to
eastern Oregon as a girl of five.
She was married to French Bur
roughs and together they farm
ed on lower Rhea creek, being
among the earliest settlers of
that section.- After his death in
1941, Mrs. Burroughs continued
to live on and operated the
farm until early in 146 when
she sold out and bought her a
home in lone.
She is survived by a son,
Glenn V. Burroughs of Kirks
viile, Mo.; two grandsons, Lyle
of junior medical college, Wash
ington university, St Louis, Mo.,
and Glenn Alyn of Kirksville;
one brother, Sterling Price of

Summing up Mrs. Burroughs
life, Rev. Alfred Shirley said.
"She has been well known to
many of you for years, and will
be loved as long as she is re
membered. Her strength of char
acter, enriched with an innate
gentleness endeared her to all
your hearts. Industrious to the
very last, she was at all times
a good neighbor, a knd friend.
Such characters are always a
blessing to the communities in
which they live, a ad at the close
of the day, a ciay that was long
in service and usefulness, we
can write on her tombstone the
greatest of all epitaphs she
will be missed."

Wallowa 35 to 19
The Heppner Hgh Mustngs
experienced little difficulty in
defeating Wallowa high school
Monday night to the tune of 35

Shooting of the locals was not
particularly good, as they miss
ed a large percentage of their
shots. Wallowa was unable to
solve the shifting defense of the
Mustangs - making but one
field goal the first half. Hepp

The 4-H club spring fat stock
show and sale sponsored by the
Eastern Oregon Wheat league
will be held in The Dalles, May
27 and 28, it was announced at
the annual EOWL convention.
All animals shown must have
been fed a ration containing at
least 50 per cent wheat. Lambs
and hogs will be shown as well
as about 100 beef calves already
reported on feed.
Morrow county 4-H members
who are feeding beef calves for
:his show are Jo Anne Graves

Baker.

With- Oregon turkeys now
available to consumers at lower
prices, some might like to make
their own smoked turkey, a del
icacy that Is usually a high
priced gift item on the market.
Directions for smoking turkeys
or chickens, either in natural
smoke or by using smoke salt
preparations, are given in an
extension mimeographed circu
lar, HE 2004 issued at Oregon
State college.
The process with natural
smoke involves soaking the
dressed and drawn birds in a
salt pickling solution 2 or 3
weeks, depending on size of the
birds. When removed the birds
are washed and hung up to dry
and then smoked over hardwood
for a period ranging from sev
eral hours to several days, de

flavor desired.

- Now that livestock and live
stock product prices are no
longer controlled and with the
price .ratio between feed grain
and pork now favorable to hogweatner conditions caused most
production mere is an oppor
tunity for more Morrow county
farmers to give thought to pork
production.
Grain prices, to a large degree
determine possibility of show
ing a profit in swine production.
The 1946 hog population of 187,-
000, compared with a five year
average of 274,000 was brought
about because the price of 6 12
pounds of grain cost more than
the pound of pork it will pro
duce. The price of grain and
pork are now at such a ratio that
a profit can be made on hogs if
properly fed and managed for
economical gains. The popula
tion of Oregon is increasing so
that more pork is'needcd to feed
the people. To have the same
amount of pork per capita as in
the 1936-1941 period we would
need to produce abouc 3G0.O00
hogs, or double the amount Ore
gon has now.

Weather and Bug
Losses Light in
Wheat Insurance
The elements stirred up a
witches' brew of perverse wea
ther to account for most of the
relatively light losses on insur
ed Oregon wheat farms this
year, says Murl E. Cummings,
state director for the federal
crop insurance corporation, in a
report on the 1946 insurance pro
gram. " Although one of the most fav
orable growing seasons in many
pears produced a record wheat
croD. nine varieties of stivers?
losses for which 155 growers col
lected on their crop insurance
policies, Cummings reported.
Frost and cold spring weath
er figured In almost half of the
losses, while the combination
drouth, and hot weather was the
year's crop enemy No. 2. Exces
sive moisture, hot winds, win
terkill, winds and hail also con
tributed to crop damage.
Birds, bugs and worms also
nibbled at the crop. Nine in
demnities were paid for cutworm
damage, 8 for Hessian fly, and
one for pheasants. Plant dis
eases caused 8 losses rust, root
rot and smut.
Severe erosion caused losses
on three farms, and six insured
operators collected for flood
damage. Weeds and shortage of
irrigation water complete the
list of 19 hazards for which In
demnities were paid during the
year.
Gilliam was the only one of
he 20 insured counties in which
no losses were reported. Clacka
mas county with 25 had the
most losses, but Umatilla far
mers collected the most indem
nities. Sherman and Klamath
were second and third in the
amount of indemnities
Largest scale indemnity was
paid to a Deschutes county
grower, who collected 2425 bush
els frost damage. Most of the
indemnities were small and
covered only partial losses, how
ever, and the total amount paid
to insured growers was only 38,
000 bushels about one-fourth of
the premiums paid. This means,
Cummings pointed out, that the
state Is accumulating a substan
tlal reserve to cover losses in
more favorable crop years,

Wheat Commission
Proposed to Push
Oregon Crop Use
Planning toward the time
when wheat may again pile up
in burdensome surpluses in this
country, the Eastern Oregon
Wheat league is asking legisla
tion to create an Oregon Wheat
commission to study and pro
mote greater use of wheat pro
duced in this state. The propo
sal is to finance the commission
by a tax of one-half cent per
bushel on all wheat entering
commercial channels, estimated
to yield about $75,000 annually.
Members of the commission
would all be wheat growers
three from the Columbia basin,
one from other eastern Oregon
counties and one from western
Oregon. They would administer
the money collected for the fol
lowing purposes:
Study of industrial uses of
wheat, construction of pilot
plants or laboratories if neces
sary, advertising the special
wheats grown in Oregon so as
to attract more eastern mills,
trade expansion for special pas
try flours in foreign countries,
particularly South America and
the Orient; cooperation with
federal research laboratories
and state experiment stations,
studies of transportation rates
and initiation of measures to
iron out injustices, study of na
tional wheat programs and sup
port of the most feasible long
range plans, and development
of enlarged feed outlets for
wheat.
A committee appointed last
year to study wheat disposal
and market development, head
ed by Jens Tergeson, Pendleton,
also proposed that wheat grow
ers of Washington and Idaho
join in a unified regional pro
gram. This is desirable, the com
mittee held, because the nation
is geared to produce more
wheat than can be used in this
country for food, feed and seed.
Present markets are based on
emergency disposal abroad of
surpluses which can not be ex
pected to continue, the league
decided, while acreage control is
costly and tends to intensify de
pressions by reducing labor in
all wheat industries.

;idential order of last August
