April Concer Control Month
In Ani! Cancer Control Month by presidential
decree the American Cancer Society will make
its only pioa for funds to the very public for which
it fights. It requires vast sums to carry on the
fight against this dread killer and the funds must
come from the public.
It is not comforting to learn that 17 milion Am
ericans now living are marked to die of cancer.
It is somewhat reassuring to learn that through
the efforts of the American Cancer Society in
conducting research more than 65,00O Americans
will be saved from cancer this year. The crusade
against the killer is bearing fruit.
What we are most concerned in at present is
the impending campaign for funds. Millions of
dollars have been allocated to discover the cause
of and cure for cancer. Millions of educational
pamphlets, posters, films, ads, etc. are teaching
people how to recognize cancer and what to do
about it .. .a million volunteers are carrying can
cer control right into the home supplying cancer
dressings, transportation, home services.
This all takes money, regardless of volunteer
workers, and this year's goal is $14,565,561. The
American Legion Auxiliary has accepted the re
sponsibility of raising the quota in Morrow coun
ty. Let us not make it difficult for these vol
unteer workers All of us have witnessed examples
of this insidious disease and we should be willing

The baseball season was open
ed last Saturday afternoon on the
lone diamond. The H.H.S. and
Egg City nines were quite even
ly matched, both sides however,
showing a lack of practice by
making many errors. The score
at the end of the nine innings
showed 16 te 14 in favor of H.H.S.
Frank Turner has been getting
his shearing machines in shape
and will move his outfit to the
Pat Farley place near Rhea Sid

Saturday on a band of 1SO0 head
of the Farley sheep. Mr. Turner
is looking forward to a very busy
season.
Petitions calling for a special
election for the purpose of voting
road bonds have been circulated
throughout different parts of the
county this week and will be fil

who will give the petitions proper
hearing and fix the date for the
election.
The fire truck and chemical en

months ago, has arrived at last
and is now at the depot, where
it is being held until the freight

contract called for delivery f.o.b.
Heppner and the company had
paid freight only to Heppner
Junction. As soon as the freight
claim has been adjusted, the ma

city and placed where it can be
reached readily when a fire al

ner. Horizontal Farming
Not all credit for improved methods in farming
are to be credited to our modern agricultural
colleges. Particularly is this true in regard to
contour farming, as Is shown by a statement re
cently made by Stephen Thompson, chairman of
the Morrow county ACA committee. According
to Thompson, contour plowing dates back as far
at least as Thomas Jefferson's time. Jefferson in
troduced this type of farming, along with a num
ber of other conservation practices at his farm at
Monticello. In a letter to a friend in 1S13, he said:
"Our country is hilly and we have been in the
habit of ploughing in straight rows whether up
and down hill, in oblique lines, or however they
lead; and our soil was all rapidly running into
the rivers. We now plough horizontally, following
the curvatures of the hills and hollows, on the
dead level, however crooked the lines may be.
Every furrow thus acts as a reservoir to receive
and retain the waters, all of which go to the
benefit of the growing plant, instead of running
off into the streams. In a farm horizontally and
deeply ploughed,
