OSC Issues Bulletin
On Swine Production
Oregon has a local market, feed
surpluses, and a good climate for
raising swine, according to an
experiment station bulletin just
released by Oregon State college.
The bulletin points out that in
1 950 Oregon produced less than
one-half of the pork and pork pro
ducts consumed in the state. It
adds that Oregon farmers should
be in a competitive position with
out outside sources through use of
by-product feeds such as skim
milk and crop residues.
Selection of breeding stock,
swine management, housing and
equipment, feeding, and swine
diseases receive careful treatment
in the 71-page illustrated bulletin
"Swine Production in Oregon."
Copies are available from county
agents or Oregon State college.

gon from 1025 to 1952 are charted
in a new extension service bul
letin just released by Oregon
State college.
The bulletin, edited by B. W.
Covle. extension agricultural eco
nomist, points out that grain and
hay are Oregon's most important
crops in terms of acreage and
value of sales.
Although wheat acreage has
shown little change throughout
the period roughly one million
acres annually production hit its
peak with an estimated 3 Omillion
bushels in 1952. this exceeded by
i4 million bushels the harvest
from a comparable acreage in
1929.
More than 90 percent of Ore
gon s 1951 wheat crop was nar
vested east of the Cascades with
Umatilla county accounting for
27 percent ol the state's total
acreage.
Acreage and production of all
hay in Oregon for 1925 to 1952 has
been relatively constant with al
falfa accounting for about three
fourths of total cash receipts from
hay crops in 1951.

Quaint Rehearsal
Of Christ's Birth
Found in Old Carol
"Auld Lang Syne" has become
such an integral part of our mod
ern New Year's eve that no cele
bration, however gay, would be
complete without it.
The music sheets for those nos
talgic strains simply say "Robert
Burns Scotch Air," and Robert
Burns generally is supposed to
have written it after he had set
tled down on a farm and taken
himself a wife, following the
sweeping success in 1778 of the sec
ond edition of his "Poems." Well
and good, but Auld Lang Syne was
not exclusively a Burns' product,
nor did he claim It to be.
In a letter to George Thomson, a
publisher, Burns explained:
"It is an old song of olden times,
which has never been in print. I
took it down from an old man's
singing.".
Modern scholarship has discov
ered that Burns was wrong when
he told Thomson "Auld Lang
Syne" never had been In print.
Its refrain, at least, was printed
obscurely long before Burns heard
his "old man singing."
Further, the original song often
has been credited to Sir Robert
Aytoun (157Q-1638). Aytoun was one
of the earliest Scots to use the low
land dialect as a literary medium.
Multitudes of Americans decended
from non-British stock are per
petually mystified by this dialect,
nor does it seem to make much
sense in the standard English
translation.
Regardless of its original author
and origin, it was Burns who gave
"Auld Lang Syne" its immortality.'
And though the bells now welcome
the New Year with joyous peals,
symbolizing mankind's hope for a
bright future, the nostalgiast of
"Auld Lang Syne" summarizes an
adherent reluctance to leave the
security and friendship of the past
and embark upon a future which,
however promising, may not be
more pleasant. Thus, it remains a
part of the English speaking herit
age to
"Drink a cup of kindness yet
For Auld Lang Syne."
Among those from Heppner in
Pendleton the last of the week to
attend the Shrine benefit basket
ball game between the Phillips
Oilers and the Pacific Trailers of
Seattle were Raymond Ferguson,
Mr. and Mrs. P. W. Mahonev and
son, Bobby, Mr. and Mrs. William
Scnvner, Mr. and Mrs. Laverne
Van Martpr. Jr. The PhilliDS Oil
ers are 1948 Olympic Champions
and this was their urst game in
"this area.
