Certified Seed To
Be Available For
1949 Wheat Crops
Farmers of Morrow county are
assured of a considerable supply
of clean seed wheat for the 1949
crop season. This assurance is a
result of the field inspection for
certified seed wheat in several
fields last week, states N. C. An
derson, county agent. Fields of
Rex M l and Elgin wheat on the
Frank Anderson, Kenneth Smouse
and Bill Barratt farms passed in
spection for certification. Harold
Black, extension specialist In
see;! certification, Oregon State
colege, made the Inspections, In
cluding 596 acres of Rex M l and
100 acres of Elgin. A bin sample
is necessary to further check the
eligibility of the wheat before
certification can be completed
With heavy Infestations of rye
and off-type variety volunteer
wheat In many of the fields this
year there should be a great de
mand for this certified seed. Cor
titled seed has been selling for
about fifty cents above market
price to reimburse growers for
the trouble and added expense
In production.
Seedling Inspections of the
creeping alfalfa being grown by
L. L. Howton and Harold Wright,

Purposes of the community
chest were discussed Monday at
the chamber of commerce lun
cheon by Mr. Johnson, represent
ing the Oregon Community Chest.
He used a chart to aid in pre
senting the various agencies serv
ed by the chest and to show how
much of the amounts raised in
the several counties remain at
home to support local civic and
welfare work.
"Where your community chest
contributions go" was the subject
of Mr. Johnson's talk. The June
30 issue of "Chest News," official
organ of the organization, is in
effect the same subject matter
and contains the following infor
mation: Total contributions reported to
date in the 36 Oregon counties
during 1947 chest campaigns, $1,
863,688.85. Amount reported as
raised for Oregon chest agencies,
$113,206.72. Balance remaining in
various counties, $1,450,482.13.
Practically all of the $1,450,
482.13 left in the various coun
ties from the 1947 campaigns is
being used to aid character-
building and welfare agencies
right in the local communities.
Among these agencies are the
Boy Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, Ca
tholic Charities, Girl Scouts, Sal
vation Army, Volunteers of Am
erica, Y.M.C.A., Y.W.L.A., ana
many others of a strictly local
nature.
The Oregon Chest's share,

about 10 o'clock Monday evening
few hours after he and Mrs.

Fireless Season S.o
Danger Not Present, Co. Agent Says
Morrow county has been quite
fortunate to date In reference to
grass fires. With the exception of
a few small fires In the range
land in north Morrow county,
where one farmer was quite ser
iously burned, there have been
no fires reported. However, as
harvest begins, with grass and
grain reaching maturity and con
centrated activity In these fields
there are bound to be some fires.
With the growth of grass and
grain as it is there fires could be
very serious in loss to crops, buil
ding, livestock, and human lives,
states N. C. Anderson, Morrow
county agricultural agent.
Each year fire losses occur
when someone attempts to do
some burning of a small nrea
around farms or waste lots. These
fires are dangerous and in many
cases result In loss of crops or
property. At the same time there
are laws that apply to such burn
ing. It might be well to call to
the attention of farmers and rural
residents some of these laws;
The Permit Law: Persons who
wish to burn forest land, grass,
grain stubble or stumps must se
cure written permission from a
encies rendering services to peo
ple from all the counties of Ore
gon: Albertina Kerr Homes, The
Boys' and Grls' Aid Society, Ca
tholic Children Bureau, Child
ren's Farm Home, Oregon Mental
Hygiene Society, Oregon Prison
Association, Salvation Army's
White Shield Home, Volunteers of
America's Mother's and Child
ren's Home, and Y.M.C.A. Armed
Services Program.
Some of the things accomplish
ed by the Oregon Chest agencies
in 1947 and made possible by
your dollars: 3,086 children from
all counties of Oregon received
the necessities of life; 464,571
days of care provided these chil
dren by the seven child-caring
agencies. Approximately 2,500
other cases received some help
directly in the counties at home.
Provided food, clothing, homes,
opportunity to attend churches
and schools to the needy and
dependent children of Oregon.
Started many children on the
road to becoming useful, worth
while citizens. Brought help and
comfort to many peolpe in trou
ble. Aided in preventing mental
ilness and helped many who are
mentally ill through a broad ed
ucational program featuring bet
ter care. Made possible a home
like place for relaxation for many
of the young men who are serv
ing in the armed forces.
"The needy children, all those
facing trouble, those mentally ill,
the young service men all these
people are our neighbors and
friends. Surely everyone wants
to lend a helping hand," Johnson

Purchase Agreement
Program Offered to
County's Farmers
The Purchase Agreement pro
gram is now being offered to
Morrow county farmers. One pro
ducer may obtain both the reg
ular CCC loan and the purchase
agreement, provided they are
completed by December 31, 1948.
Under the purchase agreement
program CCC will purchase eli
gible wheat represented by a
warehouse receipt or eligible
wheat delivered to CCC at the
Morrow county loan rate of $2.02
per bushel of No. 1 wheat.
It should be clearly understood
that the signing of a purchase
agreement does not bind the pro
ducer in any -way but merely
gives him the opportunity of sell
ing his wheat to CCC for $2.02,
if he so desires. A producer has
his wheat under his own posses
sion at all times and may sell
through regular trade channels
at any time.
Further information concerning
this program may be obtained at
the AAA office In Heppner.
Attention is called to a new
Federal Crop Insurance program
that is being offered this year in
Morrow county which will guar
antee a certain number of bush
els to sell at this guaranteed
price. Your guaranteed bushels
will depend upon which of the
eight areas in Morrow county in
which your farm is located.

Heppner Softball
Champs Take One
From Pendleton
Rodeo Field Crowd
Sees One of Best
Games of Season
By Jim Barratt
Six hit hurlings by Southpaw
Herb Schunk and a timely sixth
frame single by Outfielder Bill
Blake enabled the Heppner Amer
ican Legion nine to outscore the
highly-favored Pendleton Eagles
15 to 12 here Sunday in an ab
breviated Softball tilt. The
Round-Up City lads had previous
ly bested Heppner in their first
meeting at Pendleton by a 24 to
16 score.
The Legionnaires, top local
Softball aggregation, broke up a
two-all knot in the third inning
jumping on Eagle chucker Thur-
man for six runs. Pendleton took
advantage of a pair of Heppner
bungles in the fourth to chase
in three runs, adding three more
in the fifth to again throw the
game Into a deadlock.
Heppner went into its half of
the sixth frame one run behind
when, with two men on bases
and two out, Blake batted out a
sharp single over second which
scored infielders Van Horn and
Barger. The Legionnaires tallied
five more runs in the sixth while
holding Pendleton to three scores
in the seventh and final inning.
Spectators agreed the diamond
tussle was one of the best games
of the season, with each team
committing a minimum of errors
and giving more tight and ag
gressive performances than us
ual. It is expected a third game
will be scheduled in the future
as each team has one win over
the other to its credit.
