Our Congratulations This column wants to give one of Uncle Sam's employees in Heppner a good big pat on the back fur a service he is doing for the farmers of a sec tion of this county, as well as for all other resi dents and visitors, too. He is doing a job for them that thoy should have done for themselves, and if we recollect our postal regulations correctly, one he could have forced them to do if they wanted to have their mail delivered to their rural box. He is painting the names of the residents on their mail boxes for them. Our special operator In the upper Rhea Creek section informed us last weekend that Elbert Cox, COUNTY AGENT URGES FARMER COOPERATION IN CLEANUP DRIVE Farm families of Morrow ;ment and attic. Oil soaked work countv are urtred to loin in the clothes are an open invitation to nation-wide Spring Clean-Up rural mail carrier on Route 1, had recently started either installing hand made signs or painting the names on the boxes for the residents in that area. Our informant didn't know just how far the pro ject had been carried, but said that there were several bright new names where there had been 'Oregon no means of Identification before, and the mail man was seen doing the work. We extend to him our sincere thanks and con gratulations for doing a job that we have been after rural residents to do for themselves for near ly two years. We wonder, too, if those who haven't already received the special service couldn't run out the first thing in the morning and shine up a little spot on the side of the box so the paint would go on better and make his job a little easier. From The County Agent's Office By N. C. Anderson There are two livestock events being held within the next week, which should be of interest to everyone. The first is the Gil liam County Beef Cattle Improve ment Association's third annual field day, which will be held at Ihe Gilliam county fair grounds in Condon on Saturday May 9. This will be a very interesting and educational program, begin ning af 10:.'t0 a. m. The purpose of this field day is to show the re sults of feed efficiency testing. Sixty bulls and ten heifers from twenty-two breeders In Morrow, Gilliam, Umatilla, and Wheeler counties have been on feed effic iency test for the past five months. These will be broken In to various groups according to classifications. There will be a group of fast gaining bulls, a group of efficient bulls; a group of best grading bulls; a group of high indexed bulls, and a group of top heifers by Index. Comments on each group and cost figures will be given. Several outstanding authorities on feed efficiency will participate in the days events, Including Dr. Rou bieok of the Livestock Research Station, Denver; Dr. Fred McKen zie, Head, Department of Animal Industry, Oregon State college, who has just returned from a year in Australia; Dr. Ralph Bo gart, Animal Geneclst, Oregon State College, who will discuss line breeding versus cross breed ing; and Richard Lowe who has fed the animals on test. The second event will be a field day on Thursday, May 14, at the Frank Anderson ranch, Heppner, which is located on highway 207, about two miles west of Ruggs. This is an annual event at which time his 1953 calf crop will be graded. Mr. Ander son has been carrying on a feed efficiency test program at his ranch for the past year. He has installed a pair of scales and will have some interesting weight fig ures to discuss. Harry Lindgren and James Elings, Extension Ani mal Husbandman, Oregon State College, will be present. The pro- fileometer, an instrument recent ly developed for detecting the dwarfism by measuring the con tour of the animal's head, will be used during the day. Those at tending will have an opportunity to do some grading of various aced animals. This program is scheduled to begin at 2:00 p. m. All livestockmen would be in terested in these two dates, Sat urday, May 9, and Thursday, May 14. of keeping sheep in better health and making more efficient use of feed. campaign now underway in Ore gon. N. C. Anderson, county ex tension agent, says spring clean upinside and out is more than a community project to improve the appearance of farms. Nation al fire and safety organizations recommended it as a major step toward preventing fire and acci dent hazards. Fires cost Oregon 70 lives and $12 million in property losses last year, according to the county agent. In pointing out the need for accident prevention through spring clean-up, he noted that has one of the worst Reminder that the time to spray or dip sheep for ticks is at hand. Use 8 pounds of 50 wet table DDT powder in 100 gallons of water. It Is important that ticks be controlled by a means Now is the time of year to put in that new lawn and probably you need the answers to several important questions before you start. Questions like: When should I seed a new lawn: What grasses are the best for this area I live in: How important are the grading and drainage: How do I go about making a new lawn: Or it may be that your problem is not starting a new lawn but how to best take care of the lawn you already have. Perhaps you intended to roll your lawn and get rid of those ugly bumps, but your neighbor said that's a good way to kill it in a hurry. Maybe you know that your lawn is bad ly in need of fertilizer but you don't know what kind or how to apply it. Proper watering or how close you should mow could be your problem. Or it may be how to control weeds, diseases, insects and other pests. The answer to all of these prob lems can be found in a bulletin you can get from this office. The bulletin is "Home Lawns for Ore gon". The authors, H. L. Schudel and H. H. Rampton, also include in the bulletin, how to renovate your old lawn. o Mr. and Mrs. Dewey Britt have returned from a visit to Oregon City at the homes of her brothers and wives, Mr. and Mrs. William Schunk and Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Schunk.

Suggested clenn-up tips from Anderson to redate accident haz ards Include a careful checkup and repair of stairways and lad ders. Barns are the main work center for daily farm chores, and at this season of the year may be cluttered with an accumulation of items used during the winter. Alley-ways or work areas should be kept clear of such obstacles. Avoiding storing loose mater ial overhead on rafters or be tween floor joists, advises the county agent. Make sure that forks, scrapers, fefooms, rakes and other barn equifynent are kept in racKS or otner sutaoie places. For fire prevention, one of the first recommendations is to re move accumulated papers, rags, boxes, and rubbish from base- THIRTY YEARS AGO From files of The Gazette Times May 3, 1923 Mrs. E. L.

Clean the roof of moss and leaves and re-roof when old shingles become curled and "fuz zy". Dust and cobwebs are fire hazards, especially when they ac cumulate near electrical appli ances, lights and motors. Make certain that no inflam mable materials are stored where they can be ignited by sparks from tractors or such implements as saws, sanders, and grinders. As summer approaches, it is a good fire precaution to remove dead grass and weeds from a strip at least ten feet wide all around buildings and to have fire tools on hand for grass fires. Along with clean-up, a paint up campaign also makes for a better-looking and a more valu able set of buildings. "A community approach to spring cleaning will provide everyone a safer, easier, and better-looking place in which to live and work," says the county agent. o Quartet To Appear At Methodist Church J.
