A lot Is beine said and hoard
about vesicular anathema out
breaks that have occurred in
hogs. Outbreak seems to be lim
ited to areas where shipments of
hogs are received, such as stock
yards and feed lots. Several out
breaks have been found in lots
i where earbace is Doing jeu on
commercial scale. As yet all
cases are in Western Oregon, cen
tered around slaughter yards.
This does not mean, however,
that this situation will continue.
The history of the cases found
in Oregon originated at a gar-

ranchers do not raise, buy or sell
many hogs, it would be well to
keep this disease situation in
mind. It would lie unfortunate
if the disease should become pre

Hog raisers that find sick ani

to watch them closely, calling a
veterinarian for diagnosis to be
sure of the infection.

A few. days ago an inspection
was made of the grass and le
gume nursery on the Bernard Doh.
jeily ranch in I!la khorse canyon.
iSorno interesting comparisons
wore made on the thirty-one
species which wore seeded there.
The seeding was made on
March 1 l,l'r2 to demonstrate the
adaptability of various grasses
and legumes to the conditions of
that area. The nursery is located
in lU.'ickhorse Canyon at the end
of, the new oil road where the
road forks.
The nursery is staked in order
that comparisons can be made by
visiting ranchers. Some of the
interesting comparisons noted
were the excellent stands obtain
ed of Fairway crested wheatgrass.
streambank wheatgrass, thick
s p i k e wheatgrass, Manehar
Smooth bromegrass, Ladak alfal
fa.Sihcrian alfalfa and Spanish
sweet clover. The-excellent stands
of these grasses and legumes in
dicate their adaptability in being
established under the conditions
of the area. This, however, Is not
the final comparison, since the
ability to withstand winter con
dition's, length of life, forage pro
duced, etc., will need be watched
as time goes on. Some of the poor
er appearing grasses at this time
may prove in t ho long time com
parison to be more desirable-or
adapted from other standpoints.
Handlers who are interested in
grass and legume prduction for
pasture or conservation seedings
are invited to visit the nurseries

Remember the prices? Things were a lot
tlieaper than they are now when almost everything
you buy is 'way up in price... except gasoline.
Actuully, gasoline costs almost exactly the same
today aside from taxes as it did w hen the beauty
above was an exciting new automobile. J And it'a
far better gasoline, too. Two gallons today do the
work that required three in 15)1!5. J Few industries
can match this record of keeping prices down and
raising quality. It was made possible by two things:
intense competition among oil companies and a
steadily increasing efficiency of production. I In
the lust five years alone, Standard Oil Company
of California has put more than $0 1-1,000,000 into
facilities and another $:?r,000,000 into technical
service and research. This investment helps us
make certain that gasoline continues to be one of
the best buys in your family budget.

Social Security
Field Man to Explain
New Benefit Plan
A great deal of information has
been published in newspapers
and broadcast over the radio con
corning another important date in
Social Security. This date was
July 1, 15)52. It is important to
some but not all workers who
may be eligible for OASI benefits.
On that date a new formula for
figuring the amount of monthly
benefits became effective. It will
be applied in many cases where
a retiring worker, age 65 or over,
has acquired 6 quarters of cover
age after 1950. If. the worker had
earned quarters of coverage be
fore 1950, it is impossible that the
son ranches. The Frank Ander
son nursery is located on the
Condon highway about one mile
west of the Anderson ranch.
Wheat yields in Morrow County
are holding well with our estr
mates of this spring. Ranchers
we have talked to seem to be
happy with the yields none have
been too disappointed. Highest
yield we have heard is 41 bushels
per acre, lowest, 11 bushels. Of
course, we don't always get so
many farmers to volunteer in
formation on lower yields as on
the higher.
Wheat stocks in all positions in
Oregon, Washington and North
Idaho on July 1, were the lowest
of anytime during the past seve
ral years. The total amount was
7.7 million bushels, which is one
third lower than a year ago. This
situation should create a strong
market for our wheat for some
time.
new formula will not work to his
advantage. In such cases, the
Social' Security Administration
will figure the benefit under both
the old and the new formulas, and
use the one that gives the retired
worker the higher monthly pay
ments. Kor the convenience of Hepp
ner residents who would like fur
ther information about social se
curity benefits, Ben Kantner,
field representative of the Social
Security Administration field of
fice in La Grande, will be at the
City Hall in Heppner, on Thurs
day, August 21st, from 9:00 a. m.
until noon.
