Returns On Seal Sale
Materialize Slowly
Morrow County Public Health
association is deeply grateful to
the people for their prompt and
whole-hearted response to the
annual appeal for funds. To date,
seal sale returns total $1182.55,
which is about 75" of the quota.
Mrs. B. C. Pinckney, seal sale
chairman, asks Morrow county
who have not yot acknowledged
receipt of their 1947 Christmas
seals to do so promptly. In the
rush of Christmas preparations
people sometimes overlook ac
knowledging their Christmas
seals, and the association is anx
ious to have all returns in as
soon as possible because the
tuberculosis control work of the
association in 19-45 depends up
on the success of this Christmas
seal sale.

This week's reminder for the
grain saving program is direct
ed at the dairyman. First, dairy
men are urged to plan for the
use of more pasture and silage
as a means of reducing produc
tion costs and further conserving
the grain supply. Other steps
dairymc.i can take to save this
much-needed grain are:
1. Selling the low producer
while the price is good.
2. Feed grain according to in
dividual production.
3. Take steps to reduce disease
in the herd.
William A. Schoenfeld, dean
and director of agriculture at Or

land grant colleges. F. E. Price
will be acting dean in his ab
sence, with R. S. Besse and F.
L. Ballard acting directors of ex
periment station and extension
service, respectively.
What are Morrow county far
mers doing to help keep this
butterfat production up? One
way to improve our dairy pro
duction is replacement of old
cows and low producers with Til
lamook Dairy Herd association
heifer calves. These calves are
from cows with at least a 300
pound butterfat production. Pur
chasing these calves now will
provide you with good dairy
cows in a short time. It does not
take long for a calf to grow into
a producing cow. Farmers may
need the extra income these dai
ry cows will produce for them
within a few years.

Farmers Reminded
Practices Should Be
Finished By Dec. 31
Farmers of Morrow county
should not forget that all con
servation practices under the
1947 agricultural conservation
program must be completed by
December 31, 1947.
Farmers who have completed
practices and who have not re
ported them Ao the county agri
cultural conservation association
office should do so at once, says
Henry Baker, chairman of the
county agricultural conservation
committee.
Limited administrative funds
will not allow for extra help to
take care of a last minute rush
job in the county office, Mr. Ba
ker said. "The only way we can
get the job done of checking com
pliance and putting through ap
plications for payment is for far
mers to cooperate by letting us
know promptly the practices they
have carried out. Delay in re
porting practices piles up a lot
of work at the last minute that
will cause a delay in sending
through applications for payment
and may mean several months
delay in payments." The chair
man urges farmers to report con
servation practices as soon as
they are completed. "Farmers
who have not completed prac
tices and who intend to do so,"
said the chairman "should re
member that Dec. 31, 1947, is the
cut off date for completing con
servation practices under the
1947 program."

Senior 4-H beef cluh memhers
will hold their January meeting
at the John Graves farm on Sun
day afternoon, January 4. Every
one is urged to attend.
...
Jo Anne Graves, former club
member who completed her
tenth year as a 4-H member this
past year, is spending her Christ
mas vacation at home. Jo Anne
is now attending college at Ash
land. By the looks of her good
report card for the first semes
ter, it appears she will be as
successful in college as she was
in the club projects she success
fully completed during the ten
years.
...
Duane and Ronald Baker, lone,
are the latest 4-H members to
purchase steers for their fat beef
poject. They each purchased
Hereford steers from the Harold
Wright herd last Saturday. This
brings the total number of steers
on feed to thirty. These will be
taken to the Eastern Oregon
W heat league, state fair, and Pa
cific International show and
sales, as well as being judged
at the 1948 county fair.
Ronald Baker has also taken
a sheep project of eight ewes
that he will keep through lamb
ing, selecting a pen of three to
be fattened and shown at the
Eastern Oregon Wheat league
show next June. Ronald has a
partnership agreement with
Steve Thompson, who furnished
the ewes for the project, to lamb
and care for the ewes and fatten
out the lamb crop.
