A Team to Be Proud Of
Early last week Heppner high school's Mus
tang basketballers headed for The Dalles tourna
ment with hih hopes and a considerable quan
tity of confidence that this year they were going
to come out with the playoff crown, but, it turned
out, another team had a slightly different idea
about who was going to win.
Tournaments, arid all the pressures and en
suing jitters that seem to overcome basketball
players under such circumstances, very frequent
ly takes its toll of lop teams and Heppner was
rated as a favorite. It even happens to much bigger
teams and better seasoned players than are found
in high schools. Don't feel too badly boys, just
remember what happened to the Washington
Huskies last weekend. They were supposed to win
too.
We believe Heppner did win something at
The Dalles, though the game score may not have
shown it. William Stewart in his column "Sports
Pepper" in The Dalles Optimist handed the Mus
tangs a real compliment when he said,
' "Talk about sportsmanship. That Heppner
ball club may not be the tournament cham:
pions, but the Mustangs are without a doubt
the best mannered squad in the meet... We've
never seefl a team show such fine sportsman
ship under pressure conditions."
We'll take that kind of comment over a win
ning score any day. The Mustangs and their
coach are to be complimented for placing sports
manship first on the list of requisites for a good
ball club. When you can lose and still be called
good sports, you're winners!

KNOW THE ANSWERS?
A cry for help went up from the
Oregon Legislature's Interim
Committee on Legislative Pro
cedure this week.
They want to know how to
shorten the steadily lengthening
biennial legislative sessions. The
1951 session was the longest of
all, lasting 11 G days.
The committee decided to send
a questionnaire to all members of
the present legislature and to
members of recent former ses
sions, asking if they approved of
these suggestions:
Annual sessions instead of hav
ing session every two years.
Meeting of Ways and Means
Committee, which makes appro
priations, before the sessions con
vene. Barring introduction of bills
after the 20th day. ,
A powerful Rules Committee.
Insistence that slate depart
ments introduce their bills early.
Leaving afternoons free for
committee meetings, thus holding
legislative sessions only during
the mornings.
Having a voting machine to
take house roll calls.
YOUR
ED PEKLtBLEIVaS
Expei lences of the past few years have demonstrated
the economical effectiveness of chemical weed con
trol in practically every branch of agriculture. Dow
has developed a variety of control chemicals for
nearly every weed problem.
Esteron 44 & 2,4 Dow Weed Killer For
mula 40 were especially formulated for the control
of weeds in grain and grass crops and in pastures.
Esteron Brush Killer not only aids in clearing new
acreages but prevents the encroachment of line
brush and weeds into valuable crop lands and
pastures.
TCA 90 is a valuable help for the elimination of
quack grass, Bermuda and Johnson grasses and
other obnoxious weeds occurring along roadsides,
fence rows, irrigation canals and drainage ditches
or canals. Non-poisonous to feeding livestock and no
long time sterilization.
Dow Lindane 25 Wettable is worthwhile as a
year 'round control for flies and other insects in dairy
barns, creameries and similar farm buildings. Eco
nomical because one spraying is effective for 6
weeks. It controls lice and mange mites on dairy
cattle and other livestock.

STATE SHORT OF FUNDS
Governor Douglas McKay con
curs with those who propose the
prompt construction of an inter
mediate panel institution for first
offenders but points to the appar
ent lack of funds that may be
used for the purpose.
It has been estimated that the
building will cost in excess of $1,
000,000 and it is known that some
members of the emergency board
believe the approval of such an
institution and a similar building
to house sex offenders should go
before the 1953 legislature which
convenes in January.
Persons sponsoring a state in
stitution for sex offenders will
ask the legislature to authorize
construction and provide funds.
They propose that a ward in the
Oregon State Hospital be estab
lished for sex offenders and used
until a special institution is
available.

ADDITIONAL COLUMBIA FARMS TO BE
AVAILABLE TO WORLD WAR II VETERANS
Forty-two more farm units are-
being offered to World War II
veterans in the Columbia Basin
irrigation project in Washington,
the Oregon Department of Vet
erans' Affairs disclosed today.
Veterans must apply before April
6, to the Bureau of Reclamation,
Ephrata, Washington.
This makes 89 farm units to be
opened by the federal Bureau of
Reclamation in the Columbia
basin thus far this year. An
other 33 farms are expected to be
offered about April 1.
The 42 farms in the current of
fering range in size from 51.8 to
115.3 irrigable acres, and in price
from $708 to $2206. A drawing
will be held shortly after the
deadline date io determine suc
cessful applicants.
To qualify, applicants must
have served honorably in World
War II military service, must
have had at least two years of
farming experience, and must
have $4500 in cash, convertible
assets, or farming equipment.
The farm units lie within two
to ten miles south and west of
Athello, in Adams County, Wash
ington. The irrigable portions of
the land are quite variable, with
surface soils ranging from loamy
sands to sandy loams which are
often underlaid by gravel and
cobble at depths of two to four
feet. The climate is considered
favorable for efficient production
of a wide variety of crops under
irrigation. Irrigation water from
Grand Coulee dam is scheduled to
reach these farms in 1953.
Veterans may obtain applica
tion blanks by writing the Bureau
of Reclamation, Ephrata, and re

Flying Farmers
Aid Productivity
Of Oregon Crops
Oregon farmers are turning the
airplane into an important pro
duction tool to help them meet
the steadily mounting demand for
food, feed and fiber.
They are treating more than
150,000 acres of crop and forest
lands in the state each year by
aerial application if insecticides,
fungicides and herbicides, accord
ing to Freeport Sulpher Company.
"Over 6,000 pilots in the em
ployment of some 1,500 operating
companies are engaged in the
aerial battle against insect pests,
weeds and plant diseases", said
I. J. Becnel, Freeport's agricultu
ral research director. "These 'fly
ing farmers' are making a real
contribution to the defense effort
by opening up more and more
acreage for crop and pasture use,"
he added'They perform some 300
different types of operations, do
ing the job faster, more efficient
ly, and in many cases at lower
cost than ground distribution."
It is estimated that approxi
mately 25,000,000 of the country's
more than 300,000,000 productive
acres receive aerial treatment an
nually. Sulpher, which is in short sup
ply for the first time since World
War I, is a primary ingredient of
most agricultural chemicals.
Pointing out that some 350,000,
000 pounds of dusts and sprays
or one-third of all products, are
distributed over U. S. acreage
each year, Becnel said farmers
are being urged to use these
chemicals in the most economical
fashion compatible with good
farming practices.
Chief Oregon benefactors of
aerial treatment are orchard and
truck crops. Among other aerial
farming jobs listed by Freeport
are the spraying of forests to kill
infestations such as the spruce
budworm and army cutworm, and
treating large acres to control
mosquitoes, gypsy moths, grass
hoppers and other insect pests.
