For Service Being Rendered . . .
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,

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.

County Agent's Office

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.

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

spray or dip sheep for ticks is at

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.

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

first recommendations is to re

fire.
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.
