Hunting Season
For Deer To Open
Wednesday, Oct. 1
Red Hat Brigade
Readying Gear For
Trek Into Woods
Red hats are beginning to put
In appearance in these parts as
a reminder that deer season
opening is but a few days re
moved. Gune and ammunition
camping equipment and all oth
er accessories to a successful
march upon the enemy the en
emy in this instance being the
innocent and unsuspecting den
izens of the forest are being
careiuiiy readied for the season
of high adventure for many
perhaps direful experience for
otners.
The general deer season will
open October 1 in all counties of
the state, except Sherman coun
ty which will be closed to deer
hunting this year, it is announc
ed by the Oregon state game
commission. The season extends
through October 20 and the bag
limit is one blacktail or one
mule deer having not less than
forked antlers.
Big game animals taken dur
ing the regular open seasons this
fall will not need to be tagged
with a metal seal if they are
stored or disposed of before the
regular season closes. Any big
game animals or parts thereof
that are in possession in the
field or In transit more than 48
hours after the close of the ree
ular season must be tagged. Tags
will be available at all state po
lice patrol offices during the reg
ular hunting season.
It is unlawful for deer hunt
ers to use .22 rim fire shells; to
use any full metal-jacketed, solid-nosed
bullets, to use shotguns
loaded with buck or bird shot;
or to use any shotgun larger
than 10 gauge. Use likewise is
prohibited of Johnson and Gar
and semi-automatic rifles, Ml
military carbine and machine
guns, and any foreign-made mil
itary semi-automatic rifles and
machine guns.
Local hunters are anxious for
rain, which, at press time today
seems imminent. The snowfall
in the mountains last week
quickly disappeared and without
rain hunting will be unsatisfac
tory. Another snow in the high
mountains would have a ten
dency to drive the deer down to
the lower reaches where they
can be more readily spotted
' and potted by the hunters.
Archers who opened the deer
season on September 23 In three
small special areas of the state
set aside for bow and arrow
hunting near Cove in Union
county, Canyon Creek game re
fuge in Grant county and a por
tion of the Deschutes game re
fugefound warm dry condi
tions in the woods which made
it extremely difficult to complete'
a successful stalk to the neces
sarily close range required by
the hunter using the long bow
and broadhead for taking his
game. One of the first reports
of kill, however, was from B. G.
Thompson of Corvallis, who suc
ceeded In bagging a 200-pound
4-point buck by 8 a.m. the first
morning on the Deschutes arch
cry area.
Oregon has an increasing
number of archery enthusiasts
who are engaged In this method
of deer hunting. Records reveal
that although only from 5 to 7
percent of them are successful In
getting their deer, a high degree
of recreation Is provided by this
method of hunting in that the
ability of the hunter is empha
sized over that required by rifle
hunters. Of the 183 archers hunt
ing in Oregon in 194G, eleven
bagged a deer.
OSC COUPLE MARRIED 50
YEARS; HAVE NEVER MOVED
Oregon State College Fifty
years of married life lived In the
one city of Corvallis is the un
usual marital record made by
rrofessor and Mrs. John Fulton
who recently celebrated their
golden wedding anniversary
here.
Professor Fulton probably
taught as many or more differ
ent Oregon Stale students as any
other staff member In the his
tory of the college, as he Joined
the staff in 1893 and was for 33
years 'head of the chemistry de
partment. He has recently retir
ed to an emeritus status.
Mrs. Fulton was Martha Avery,
a member of a pioneer Oregon
family, and was born in the Che

Band of Cattle On
Way Here For Rail
Shipment To Market
Cattle trailing to market or to
a railhead is almost nothing
more than a memory in Heppner
these days. , Time was when
trainloads of range stock were
herded over trails and country
roads from the ranges to the
south, but of recent years ship
ments from fhat area have been
made largely by auto truck. .
There is one cattle raiser in
Grant county who still sticks to
the trail-rail delivery, and that
is Jack Vaughn of Long Creek.
In the fall of 1945, Vaughn trail
ed 12 carloads of cattle to Hepp
ner lor shipment by rail to Port
land. Tomorrow morning he will
load seven cars out of the local
yards after trailing the stock
from his ranch in Fox valley to
Heppner. He possibly could have
had the stock moved by truck
but by feeding along the route
the animals will be in good
shape when they arrive at the
rail terminal in Portland Satur
day morning.

News From
C. A. Office
The present high feed cost,
and the high price of beef marks
a very good time to cull the
boarder, or unprofitable dairy
cow. Production testing records
show some cows producing as
low as 200 pounds of butterfat
per year. Such cows increase the
cost of production and should go
to the butcher to make room for
better cows or promising heifers.
Of course, there are good dairy
cows that are held down in pro
duction because they are not
properly fed for body mainten
ance, and high production. One
way to relieve part of this feed
ing problem is by good pasture.
I noticed that much of the
growth of irrigated pastures is
slowing up the last few weeks.
Application of ammonium sul
phate commercial fertilizer will
pay for itself in extra growth of
forage.
It is getting a little late in
the season to depend on pasture
alone so dairy stock should be
getting additional roughage to
make up for the poorer pasture.
Hay or silage feeding will pay
in holding up milk production
and keeping the cows in good
flesh as they go Into the winter.
Don't forget to get a sack of
mineral too, and keep some be
fore the dairy cow at all times.
She will eat what she needs. In
buying minerals keep In mind
that mfnerals needed most for
a dairy cow are calcium and
phosphorous. Salt should be fed
free choice.
A lot of first and second cut
ting hay has been rained on the
past haying season. On farms
where this hay is fed to livestock,
most of it could have been bet
ter preserved by putting up as
sllnge. More protein per acre
would have been saved by prop
er ensiling where practical. In
experiments run at Bellsvllle by
the U.S.D.A. it was found that of
a ton of hay cut 1 G 10 pounds
was saved by ensilage compar
ed to 1530 pounds In field cur
ing. Thls'means that the percent
of original protein In this hay
saved was 86 percent for the sil
age and only 08 percent when
field cured. Converting, this to
present milk production per acre
the silage yielded 112.5 percent
compared to the field cured at
100 percent.
In addition, when cows were
fed this silage the vltumln A
content of their milk was main
tained all winter and was about
the same as when, on pasture,
whereas when fed hay, by mid
winter the vitamin A content of
the milk had dropped to one-
half that of the milk from the
silage,

NEW BUSINESS OFFICE
ADDED TO FACILITIES
Callers at the Gazette Timet,

tomed door. Instead, they will
find a new front next door to
the west where a new business
office is being fitted up.
Shortage of space for. the
mechanical branch of the bus

which was available by rear
ranging equipment and office
furniture. If the widely talk

Efforts are being made to
have the new office finished
