The Spell is Broken Thirty-two years is a long time to go without getting a whack at state tournament play. That lias been Heppner high school's luck up to now. But, the patient wait has been rewarded, for as this piece goes to press, coach Steve Trukositz's Mustangs are doing their utmost in Salem to bring the state championship trophy home to rest beside the district cup they garnered Saturday night at The Dalles. If we were of a superstitious nature, we would cross a couple of fingers, some toes and maybe even our eyes in an effort to give the boys a little more of the good luck they had with them during the district playoff. It was more than Just luck, though, that found the Heppner squad on top of the heap when the smoke cleard away last Saturday . , it was a com bination of good training, real teamwork by the boys and some topnotch coaching. We talked to some of the squad during their short visit at home between tournaments and their attitude is one which should, coupled with their abilities, take them a few steps farther up the ladder to state basketball fame. They weren't cocky, nor were they any more scared than would be any other group of high school kids waiting for such an important thing as a .state tournament. They are going to play each game as they come to it and not take any chance that some team they thought weak might put one over on them. It was this attitude that won for them in The Dalles, it could very well do the same for them in Salem. If they are the best B league ball team ih the stale, they will come home Sunday with the prize, or maybe their spot is second or third or eighth, but wherever they wind up, we know they will have played their best for they're not a team to "come apart at the seams" under pressure. Much of the credit for this training goes to coach Truko sitz, but just as much credit goes to the players for wanting to learn how to play the game right Whatever their final position in state play may he. we wish them luck, and for their successes, both past and future, congratulations. -rom The County Agent's Office By N. C. Anderson E. R. Jackman, veteran farm crops specialist, Oregon State col lege, hands out some good advice this week In the form of an old adage, "If someone gives you a lemon, take it and made lemon ade out of it". The lemon he is speaking of is In the form of markedly lower prices for most of our numerous seed crops that have hurt seed growers but can lie a help to seed planters. Some of the crops that are low er in price than they have been for years include the cover crops, alfalfa, ladino clover, alta fes cue, intermediate vvheatgrass, orchardgrass and puebeseent wheatgrass. The latter is selling for considerably less than one half the 1952 price. This means that many of the sod waterways that have been held up because of the high cost of seeding should be encouraged by this low cost of seed. In the case of irrigated pas tures and logged off land, seed ings can be made for as little as many dryland seedings cost a year or two ago, It appears now that seed cannot go much lower. Farmers planning to buy sprinkler irrigation equipment for next summer's use, should do so now. Aluminum pipe is in good supply and dealers have ample time to do a good job of designing. If purchasing is put off until next spring, dealers will be rushed and it will be impos sible for everyone to obtain im mediate delivery at that time. With spring just around the corner, questions have been com ing in concerning the planting of WEED SPRAYING CONTACT GENE RANSIER IONE, OREGON THIRTY YEARS AGO From Files of the Gazette Times March 15, 1923 Mrs. M. Brown, Miss Ruth Stephens, Miss Maxine Gentry, Miss Kathleen Slocum, Miss Neva Shinn, Miss Huldah Tucker, Miss Bertha Tucker, Miss Lavelle Lea thers, Miss Vella Ward, and Miss Margaret Jones comprised a group of Lexington visitors who were here for the basketball tourna ment last evening at the high school gymnasium. The Lexing ton bovs' team met the McLoueh- lin high school team. Pendleton E. O. A debate was held in the Civ ics class Tuesday on the question potatoes. The time for planting of potatoes for early use is more important than the variety to plant. The two most common early potatoe varieties are Tri umph, sometimes known as Bliss Triumph or red Bliss, and Earliest of All. Other more common var ieties such as White Rose, Netted Gem, Burbank, Katahdin or Kene bee, can be used for early harvest if they are planted early. The most important considera tion in selecting potatoes for the family use is to buy good seed Certified seed should be used. Early potatoes should he plant ed in mid-March (as soon as the land can be Worked.) The seed should be planted shallow. Pota toes for mid-season harvest should be planted any time dur ing April or early May. Potatoes winter use should be planted in late May or June.

The one that wanted a farmhand who had to he "an expert agriculturist, sheep herder, tractor driver, bridge player," plus being "an authority on chemistry and mathematics"? Slim Thomas, who ran that ad more or less as a joke, called and said, "I got 23 answers and almost every one claimed they could meet all those qualifications! That means I want to keep the man I have 'Handy' Peters. "He was thinking of quitting but now I've got to talk him into staying. Handy never pretends to be an expert, he's just a good all-around hired hand." From where I sit, Slim's smart to be wary of people w ho consider themselves to be all-around "ex perts." Some folks will "expert" on anything from the clothes a man should wear (o whether he ought to drink beer or butter, milk. Personally I don't want to "classify" myself as knowing all the right answers. Copyright, I'Jiii, United Slutcs Brewers Foundation ST&R THEATER, Heppner MARCH is NATIONAL RED CROSS MONTH!
