Retires From National Forest Service
The retirement of Theodore P.
Flynn, nationally Known equip

charge of the equipment devel
opment laboratory for the U. S.
forest Rerviee, has just been an
nouneed by regional forester H.
J. Andrews, Portland.
Flynn entered the forest sor

since that time has been an em

during 1917-1918. when he served
In the Army with the 472nd en

whlQh were developed by him or
under his direction during the
past 30 years are the logging
drums on tractors, portable com
pressors, folding blades, gear lift
dozers, power lift graders, bank
slopers, over-the snow tractors,
and tractors of various types from
the tinv "beetle" to the titanic,
1929, a large crew of men was
trapped by the flames and
Flynn's skill and judgment were
responsible for bringing them
through the flames to safety
without the loss of a single life.
Unfortunately, he suffered some
injuries on that fire which cur
tailed his activities in the follow
ing years. He will continue to
make his home In Portland.

How's Your
Listening Time?
Bock Howell and I were in Bale
Till Ust week. Dropped in at Bob's
diner where some friends were sit
ting around talking about whether
to sell hop now or wait.
Buck plunges right into the dis
cussion. He's lecturing away when
suddenly they all stand up and
start stomping their feet like it
was an Indian war dance.
I'm flabbergasted. But Buck
only looked sheepish and explains,
"Guess I was talking again, when
I should-of been listening. Wnen a
person's talking time gets out of
line with his liiiening time around
here, the gang reminds him by
standing up and stomping."
From where I sit, that's a good
svstem. Ererrone has a right to his
opinions but others have a right
to theirs, too-whether it's decid

apple pie or cherry pie, or a glass

Application of commercial fer
tilizer to grass and grain, which j
have been damaged somewhat
by this winter's cold will usually
help in counteracting the injur
ious effect if applied as soon as
it is possible to get on the fields,
according to D. D. Hill, head of
the farm crops department at Or
egon State college.
A nitrogen fertilizer is recom
mended for giain and grass crops
at the rate of 10 to 20 pounds of
nitrogen per acre. Pastures con
taining legumes will profit by ap
plications which will supply up to
20 pounds of nitrogen per acre
while grass pastures will need
about 40 pounds. Early applica
tions will advance the spring
grazing date as much as two
weeks provided they are not
harmed by too early pasturing.
Such early fertilizing applica
tions will be particularly benefi
cial this year, because the root
growth has in some cases been
damaged by frost. This fertilizer
application will also give the
crops more strength to compete
successfully with weeds.
Through the project program
of the agricultural committees of
Pomona and subordinate granges,
a series of ral control demonstra
tions have been set up. Willard
E. Nelson of the fish and wildlife
service, will demonstrate proper
methods of baiting, using red
squill prepared bait. This bait, as
well as cyanide gas bombs will
be sold at the demonstrations.
Demonstrations have been
scheduled at the following farms
on the dates listed:
February 23, 3 p.m. Mankin
Bunch farm, Heppner.
February 24, 10 a.m. Leonard
Rill farm. Eightmile; 3 p.m., W.
W. Weatherford farm, Heppner.
February 25, 10 a.m., Randall
Martin farm, Lexington; 3 p.m.,
Ralph Skoubo farm, Boardman.
Arrangements are being made
for several more demonstrations
which will be held at Irrigon,
lower Willow creek and the Lex

River Round-up grounds at Prine-
ville March 2 and 3. Animals will
be shown the morning of March
2, sold the afternoon of March 3.
To be sold are 54 bulls and 23
females. Forty-eight of the bulls
were calved in 1947 or before.
The remaining six bulls were
calved in 1948. Fourteen of the
23 females are bred.
This year for the first time the
Oregon Swine Breeders associa
tion will hold a bred gilt sale in
conjunction with the Shorthorn
sale. It will be held the afternoon
of March 2. Twenty-six gilts rep
resenting eight different swine
breeds have been consigned. They
will farrow between March 8 and
April 20. Livestockmen who are
in the market for Shorthorn bulls
or cows or bred gilts will have
an excellent choice at these sales.
It appears that there are very
few livestockmen in the county
spraying cattle for grubs this
month. This is very discouraging
since it is necessary to spray for
several years in succession to
clear up the majority of grubs
which hatch into 'heel flies.
Some communities were well
underway in a program to prac
tically exterminate the grub. This
was done by spraying all cattle
in a community that were Isolat
ed by being a mile away from
unsnrayed herds during heel fly
time. Since the heel fly cannot
fly a mile from an unsprayed
herd to lay eggs on the heels of
sprayed cattle the area would
soon be grub free. Of course it is
necessary to spray herds at least
twice during the winter or early
spring to kill grubs maturing at
different times. Then, too, a few
might get by to lay more eggs so
a herd can not be cleaned up in
a year.
I have not had the opportunity
to talk to Roy Robinson recently
as the winter has been tough and
Roy has probably been snowed in
and staying home to feed cattle,
but Roy was quite sure last
sprng he would have very few
grubs this winter. He has sprayed
for grubs very systematically the
past two years and even last win

However, he felt that even though

Reviews the
Legislature
By Giles L. French
Taxpayers and friends of tax
payers from all over the state
had an inning before the house
taxation committee last Friday
and said with unanimity that
property taxes should not be In
creased and that such off -sets as
were in effect should be retained
Some, when questioned by the
committee, dm say that if there
was a constitutional ban on
property taxes, they would be
willing to dispense with the pro
tection given by the off-sets.
Represented were chambers of
commerce, realty boards, farmers,
stockmen, timber owners and
similar groups.
A program is being mane by
Henry Semon, chairman of the
house ways and means commit
tee that may solve the money
troubles of the legislature. He
would let the people vote on the
welfare budget, which would
then come from the so-called
"surplus" funds and would only
transfer so much of the excise
tax as might be needed to bal
ance the budget, which would
be curtailed to some extent.
Actually the troubles of the
house have been many times
magnified. Had there never been
a house taxation committee the
state could get along very well.
It has not raised taxes by in
creasing old or devising new." A
levy over the six percent limit
to obtain voter approval of such
expenditures could be made thru
the ways and means committee.
All this furore about taking away
from property owners their long
held blanket of off setting funds
would have been unheard.
As the taxation problem be
comes less confused (or those who
talk about it become less con
fused) other matters begin to
show up in the fog. The highway

they were few he would spray j program prepared by the interim
in an aiicnijt iu new uici.i uui committee is expected to De pre
completely. Mr. Robinson is locat
ed in an isolated area and neigh
boring stockmen are spraying for
grubs also.
It has been a bad winter to
spray for grubs, or lice. The wea
ther has been cold, water pipes
have been frozen, the ground has
been icy to handle cattle easily
and everyone has been busy each
day hauling food. Lately it has
been so muddy that it is hardly
possible to get into the corrals.
In the meantime at least some of
the grubs have dropped out of
the backs of the cattle to hatch
Into heel flies to lay more eggs
to make more grubs to ruin more
good hides and meat on Morrow
county livestock.
If you haven't sprayed yet, get
some fotonone tomorrow and get
busy on the grubs that are left
in the backs, then spray again in
thirty days. Grubs cause a two
hundred million dollar loss to
livestockmen annually in the
United States. If you want to see
why, butcher the grubbiest ani
mal in your herd today and weigh
the meat on the back that you
don't think you'd care to eat:
even in hamburger. Then look at
the hide and see how long a pair
of shoe soles would last made
from this hide.
Veterinarians are again avail
able to resume testing for TB and
Bangs where they left in late De
cember. Anyone who is now ready
to have their herd tested should
sented to the house within a week
or so. It will increase gasoline
taxes and double the registration
fee for automobiles.
The bill to change the division
of highway funds between coun
ties will follow it througn tne
highway committee. The formula
for making the distribution may
be changed to the "need" formula
prepared by the engineers of the
committee. The French Peterson
bill would divide the funds by
number of cars, area of county,
miles of primary and secondary
roads. The "need" formula is
more intricate being based on
the long time needs for roads
and the roads that have been
built heretofore. Whichever sys
tem is used most Oregon coun
ties will receive more state funds
for roads. And it now seems like
ly that one measure will be pass,

phone, of course. A call may
be routine or it may save a
