Our next-door newspaper neighbor, The East Oregonian, commented editorially recently that the new president of the Portland chamber of commerce has urged a speed up of planning for John Day dam and proposed that it be the next big Columbia river project to be started. The EO's editor, Bud Forrester, went along with Ihe Portland suggestion up to a point. Of course, Portland is mighty interested in the power that will come from this big project, but he went on to say that there seemed to be another, possibly more selfish, reason behind the suggestion. They would like to see the John Day dam built as a multi-purpose dam, 292 feet high, one that would in addition to generating power, give some mea sure of flood control. We certainly don't argue the point that flood control is a vital necessity, but we do question the advisability of getting it at John Day, as did the East Oregonian. For one tiling, hearings have shown that resi dents of the river area affected by the backwater from this dam are definitely opposed to the high dam because it would drown out too much valu able land. As an example, if the high dam were built it would effect river-side residents as far up stream as Irrigon, and the town of Boardman would be completely drowned out. Arlington residents too. would get their feet much wetter from the 292 foot dam than they would with the other one. The additional 40 feet of height on the dam would serve only the purpose of flood con trol, yet would make the entire project the most costly on the river. We ,too, think the John Day dam should be one of the next on the agenda, but we don't believe that flood contol should be a part of it. It is not wise planning to try to control floods this far down the river especially when they can be more easily and cheaply controlled by dam construction fur ther up the various streams running in to the Columbia. Not only this, but the up-stream dams will serve another very vital purpose in that they will act as regulating dams by impounding water during periods of heavy runnoff and releasing it when the stream flow is low, so that the average flow at the lower dams is more even with a con sequent leveling out of the power shortage per iods which now come due to low water. Possihlv we. too are selfish when we think of From saving as many of our good acres' in north Mor row county as we can, but we don't believe that it is vitally necessary to any long range planning for river development, tha twe lose them to flood control drowning. The army engineers, in their original plan to build a 255 foot dam at John Day felt the same way. Tonight's the Night )w Wife mm.K 1311 ''' kiiv Pv THIRTY YEARS AGO From The County Agent's Office By N. C. Anderson Recent word from the Tilla mook Dairy Herd Improvement Association indicate that they will be able to fill many orders for heifer calves this spring. Jer seys and Guernseys can be ship ped at once. They will continue to ship during the spring fresh ening period which will end about May 30. Starting February 1, a new plan for Tillamook dairy calves goes into effect. This will be a grading system of superior, which will be heifers from a dam pro ducing from 425 to 500 pounds and above of butterfat on 305 day record, and standard, which are calves from dam with pro duction records from 350 pounds to 425 pounds of butterfat on 305 day record The superior grade calves will cost $39.75, the stand ard grade, $27.75, F O.

This is an excellent opportun ity to get a heifer calf to raise to replace tnat tarm mux cow is getting old. that January and fore-February are good clean-up months in the home garden and home orchard. It is the time to cut out old di seased wood and spraying for control of diseases that over winter on such dead growth of fruit trees, roses and some other shrubs. 1 Winter sprays of Bordeaux Mix ture or lime sulphur are applied for control of such rose diseases as mildew, black-spot, limb can ker, blight and dieback. Bor deaux Mixture for spraying roses is prepared at the rote of l ounces of copper sulphate, 6 ounces of lime, each Mixed sepa rately in a small quantity of water and then added to a three gallon hand sprayer filled to ca pacity. Lime sulphur for roses is ap plied at the rate of 3 pints of concentrated liquid lime sulphur in a three-gallon hand sprayer. For a general clean up spray for fruit trees it should be mixed at the rate of one-half gallon of con centrated liquid for each five gal lons of water. Bordeaux is a protectant type spray and live sulphur a clean up spray, which will burn off patches of mildew and shallow lesions or stem cankers. Lime sulphur spray should not come in contact with white paint on walls or trellises as it will turn such paint black. Winter sprays of Bordeaux Mixture or lime sulphur are also used for control of peach leaf curl. This is a fungus disease in which, during the early summer, the leaves of unsprayed trees take on a reddish-yellow color and have a crisp, distorted texture. Such distorted, blister-like foli age drops and a second crop of leaves appear later in the sum mer, a process which seriously weakens the tree. The recom mendation for peach leaf curl is Bordeaux at the same concen tration as for roses (6 ounces cop per sulphate, 6 ounces lime to three gallons of water) or lime sulphur, 3 pints concentrated liquid in three gallons of water. A peach leaf curl spray is essen tial for control of this disease with the application being made before buds swell in the early spring. With several new breeders of farm flocks of sheep, it might be well to review some pointers on care and management. They may even be useful to experienced operators. Successful sheep op erators plan to save as many lambs as possible. One hundred percent lambing or better is needed for a successful sheep op eiation. Some of the points fol lowed by successful sheep oper ators are to give close attention to the lambing flock at that time. Some ewes will need help in lambing. Clean dry quarters are helpful at lambing time to assist in controlling infectious difficulties. Disinfect navels with tincture of iodine as soon as possible after lambs are dropped. Watch ewes and lambs care fully for any unusual conditions affecting them. All lambs intended for market should be docked early. Ram lambs for market should lie cas trated. This job should be done carefully using proper disinfect ants in treating the castration and docking wounds.. Lambs thai are not castrated and docked are likely to receive a reduced price on the market. Feed the ewes on milk-producing feeds from the time lamb is dropped until grass starts. Such feeds as good legume hays or grain hays are used, a supple mental feed should be given in with the Files of The Gazette Times, January 25, 1923 A student body meeting was held Monday at which boys who won letters in football were pre sented with symbols of the Hepp ner high school's regard. Those receiving the letters were Alvin Boyd, Phillip Mahoney, Francis Doherty, Carl Cason, Elmer Buck num, Reid Buseick, Austin Smith, Paul Aiken, Ralph Moore, Bill Gilliam, Leonard Schwarz and Keith Logan. Some of the other men ,altho they did not win their letter, are certainly worhty of recommendations for their hard work and loyalty.
