When Your Neighbor Colls
Early next week you will have a visitor calling
on you at your place of business or knocking at
your front door . . ."it will be your neighbor asking
for your contribution to Morrow County's Commun
ity Chest. He, or she, will need your help, both
financial and moral.
This year's committee has worked diligently to
organize an effective working group throughout
the county, one that has as its purpose the raising
of funds to support many worthwhile organiza
tions right here in Morrow county as well as give'
support to the state Chest.
At least 50 of the total amount raised is to
remain at home, in each individual community,
to meet the welfare and assistance needs of the
people of that community. The portion going to
the state chest could, If the need should arise, re
turn ten -fold or a hundred fold.
When your neighbor knocks at your door, wel
come him. He won't be asking for much, but he
does need your contribution, no matter how small
it might be.
Give . . . and wear your Red Feather proudly.
We Sold 'em Short!
Last week in a news story the Gazette Times
sold the Heppner Park Board short when It stated
that the group had not met in recent months nor
had it made any recommendations for an overall
plan under which work could be started and car
ried through as funds became available.
It turns out that some of the statements made
in that story were misleading ... in fact, the board
held a meeting the other night with one of the
prime purposes being to show this writer the error
of his ways.
Now, we'll take full responsibility for any mis
statements we made, and apologize too, but we're
still sort of glad that they had to meet to rib us,
for while they were gathered they set into motion
the machinery that can in the very near future
bring Heppner a city park.
The board has done work, for it has a good plan
that can provide the basis for a worthwhile de
velopment on a piece of property that has for years
served as a gathering place for .weeds and rubbish.
The JayCees are doing their part, by repairing and
improving the community building as fast as their
funds are acquired. The park board too, is work
ing, and indications are that clearing and leveling
of the south end can be started this year and there
is a good chance that next summer will find grass
covering a good share of the area.
We believe the board has a good plan, and a
good start and that there is no disagreement as to
what should be done. They need support and help
to get it done. We'll support them, and we'll help
too, even to digging a post hole or two for a fence
or maybe even working a little with one of those
one-man earth movers.
, If we will all help, we'll have a park we can
be proud of.

CAMPAIGN COSTS UP
Candidates, political managers
and press agents are worried.
In making estimates they find
it will cost twice as much as it
did in 1950 to conduct an exten
sive political campaign. Particu.
larly one with complete coverage
by mail to every reglsterer voter.
Postcards are scheduled to go
from one cent to two cents after
the first of the year. The price
of paper and printer's wages have
increased as well as those of
stenographers and office clerys,
Petition solicitors are cagey in
taking pay, as prosecutions loom
in the coming campaign.
A well financed giod govern
ment organization is set to do
some house cleaning In political
wards in coast cities. It may be
scuttlebutt but the rumor keeps
bouncing that sketches a picture
of the organization with a com
mittee at work mapping a net
work of sub-committees to func
tion in every voting precinct in
California, Oregon and Wash
ington, (could they mean D. C.)
Members of these committees will
be schooled in securing evidence
of infractions of election laws.
The head office to furnish the
legal staff for prosecution.
POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS
Ben Musa is a democrat and
Sam Coon is a republican. Both
are state senators. Each made
remarkable progress in setting
the tempo of the senate in their
first terms. If Rep. Stockman is
appointed to a federal post each
of the political parties would have
an outstanding candidate for con
gressman from the second dis
trict.
The president of the Oregon
Licensed Beverage association
says the organized tavern owners
of Portland will not support
move to recall City Commission
er J. E. Benett and that they op
pose a special recall election.
Bennett, a crusading foe of the
beer spots, says he might run for
mayor of Portland if Mayor
Dorothy Lee does not file for re
election. If she does, Bennett
says she will win.

from the 1st district, will soon be

VALUABLE STATE COST RATA
Reports on 21 standardization
specifications and 17 additional
specifications for commonly-used
commodities, regarded from a
state purhase position, will be
available to the state department
of procurement within a few
weeks. The reports are the result
of extensive and costly research
made by the National Associa
tion of State Purchasing officials.
Oregon's Administrator of Pro
curement William E. Stevens has
just joined the association and re
cently attended the national con
vention. The reports are of value
to all states, and particularly so
to Oregon which has little in the
way of research and lacks a stan
dard research section.
LITTLE EMPLOYMENT
DISCRIMINATION
No racial or religious discrimi
nation was proven in half of the
cases filed with the state bureau
of labor under the 28-months-old
fair employment practice act,
Labor Commissioner W. E. Kim-
On November 1, a fertalizer
trial plot was put out at the O.
W. Cutsforth farm north of Lex
ington on the Lex-Pendleton Hi-
Way. Last years plot was located
at me rank Anderson larm on
Condon Silt loam soil. This years
plot was changed to get demon
strational results from a fine
sandy loam soil in lighter rain
fall area.
The plots, numbering thirty six
are randomized for.more accurate
results. In each series of eight
plots, various kinds of fertilizers
in varying amounts were applied.
Fertilizers used and amounts
were Ammonium nitrate, 50
pounds, 100 pounds, 200 pounds
and 300 pounds per acre; am-
monius sulphate, 319 pounds per
acre; nu -green, 150 pounds per
acre; calcium nitrate, 432 pounds
per acre. One plot in each series
is left for a spring application of
200 pounds ammonium nitrate per
acre. One plot is left for a check.
Soil samples were taken in each
of the check plots to find the
available moisture and nitrates
in the soil at the time the fertil
izer was applied. It was found
that the soil contained an average
of 13.3 moisture, which is about
the normal average for this time
of year, and an average 38.5
pounds on nitrogen. Soil samples
will be taken from time to time
to determine moisture and nitro
gen in relation to crop yields
when the time for harvest is here.
33 have been closed.
Over 95 per cent of the com
plaints have been filed in Port
land by Negroes. Of the 12 cases
now pending, nine are against a
Portland local union of the Bro
therhood of Railway Carmen of
America which was found censur
able of barring Negroes from
membership. Officers of the union
have since resigned in protest of
Labor Commissioner Kimsey's
order for the union to halt its dis
criminatory practices.
NEW BLUE BOOK SOON
With 387 pages, plus index and
map, the '1951-1952 Oregon Blue
Book will be the largest the state
has published, Assistant Secre
tary of State William E. Healy
said Monday. .Articles titled
"Manufacturing in Oregon" by
Chester K. Sterett and "What Tree
Farming Means to Oregon" by
Arthur w. Priauex are new fea
tures added to the many listings
of officials, statistics and history
of the state. There are portraits
of elected state officials but not
appointed officials as in pre
vious editions.

These plots will be staked ac
cording to the various treatments
given so that farmers may watch
the results during the year.
W. E. (Eb) Hughes, Buttercreek
rancher, is busy these days in
suring himself of better returns
from his livestock, as well as an
easier job this winter..
It all started some months ago
when Eb had a new well drilled
on his ranch. The well filled
soon to within a few feet of the
top and he decided to make the
best use of this good supply of
water. With a lot of "shovel
power" (hand) ditches were dug
to the corrals, main watering tank
and calving shed. A line is go
ing in across the road at the cow
and calf holding pasture. This is
being speeded up by the use of a
"cat" and dozer.
Self draining hydrants were
used for all outlets. This along
with the pipe -line being covered
three feet deep will save some of
those headaches of winter freez
ing.
Eb has spent a lot of hours car
rying water to cows in calving
pens in past winters and cattle j
uiai weie suppnea wun waier
from the creek have not drank as
much as needed for best gains
and production.
This handy water system no
doubt will make the 'cows a lot1
happier this winter and there is
no doubt about the way Mr.
Hughes feels about it. The water
system along with the conven
ient calving pens with hay and
feed supplies under the same
roof will cut down on lots of labor
and get the calves off to a better
start. "
Electricity for operating the
five horsepower motor used to
pump the water as well as pro
viding lights for night ca'lving is
welcomed on this ranch.
Dr. Fred F. McKenzie, Chairman
of the Department of Animal Hus
bandry, Oregon State College, has
been notified of his selection to
receive a Fulbright research
award which will send him to
Australia for a year, beginning
next March. Dr. McKenzie will
help organize an animal science
program at New England Univer
sity college, New South Wales,
Australia.
Dr. McKenzie will speak at the
annual meeting of the Morrow
County Stockgrowers Association
to be held December 1, in Hepp
ner. His subject will be beef feed:
