A Different Approach To an Old Problem Last week, at the special P-TA meeting which was a panel discussion of the much-discussed Heppner school problem, there was given one short speech which we think carries more real feeling and understanding than any we have heard. To our way of thinking, it offers good advice that we all would do well to take and seriously consider. We feci it is worth printing for all to read, and we are doing so here. It was written and given by Mrs. Mary Van Stevens. "As you all know that I was in the public health nursing field for 25 years before I became a florist. . . I've seen a lot of people come and go in those 25 yeais all of those people were good. I believe in people or I would not be in the florist business today. "I know lhal behind every hard headed opinion in this room tonight there beats a heart as big as all outdoors. "I know that whoever is the principal of the school who builds the new building he will be a stinker in the ininds of some and that he will probably leave Heppner with a broken heart but lie will leave a monument for future generations. The school board who will have to make the de cisions will piobably serve their term and never serve on a school board again but they too, will leave a monument. "Someone will have to make those decisions and have the courage of their convictions if we are to get this job done. Nothing can come of bickering and gossiping. Personally I've looked oer the locations pretty carefully, not once but several times. Surely there is a middle of the road plan that can be worked out. . . surely there is a moderate amount of money that can be spent . . . surely there is a person or persons somewhere who will have the courage to get this school under way. Now, let's all give a little and take a little . . . let's all attend the school meetings and when those decisions are made let's be together as the family we are and see that we get our moneys worth in the building. . . let's forget the past five years yes, it's been that long, ever since I came to Heppner that we have been going to do some thing. "Being a florist, I believe that the day will come when I will send up the dedication flowers and we will be proud and in our hearts glad that the future generations will have better than we had. "For my money we have had plenty of talk . . let's now have a little action. Let's grow up a lit tie for the kids' sake. . . let's have big minds and big hearts, for God's sake." Bad Manners Today's story on page one about the possible planting of nails in mountain roads where hunt er's tires could pick them up, may make pretty good reading at first glance, but on second thought it should make most people a little mad. And we don't mean just the hunters who fell heir to the punctured tires. Police who are investigating the numerous re ports said that it was possible, but not very pro bable, that the nails got into the road by accident. It seems more likely that they were placed there intentionally, and if so, probably by someone who didn't agree with the game commission's ruling opening this area for the special doe season. We know there are plenty of persons in Mor row and adjoining counties who were violently opposed to the doe hunt, and they are certainly en titled to their beliefs and to any legal action ihey might desire, but if one or more of them are re sponsible for planting the nails which caused so much difficulty, we hope the law catches up with them and teaches then better manners. . Taking the law into ones own hands may some times give a person some little satisfaction for a while, but quite often it boomerangs, too. If the police don't catch the guilty parties, we hope they get caught in their own trap. And well they might.

The Columbia Sheep Breeders Association is the only one that requires personal inspection before registration is accepted by the Association. Such points as, uniformity of wool, openess of face and confirmation are taken into consideration. The 1953 calf crop at the Her bert Ekstrom and Frank Ander son ranches were graded during the clay. We found these calves exceptional again this year with many of them grading 2 and 2 plus. These two ranches are carrying out a feed efficiency and production record on their entire herds.

Department of Agri culture has announced a national average price support of not less than $2.20 a bushel for 1954-crop wheat. This minimum support price is 90 percent of the August 15, 1953 wheat parity price of $2.45. Support for 1953-crop wheat, now eligible for loan and purchase agreement, is a national average of $2.21 a bushel. To' be eligible for wheat price support in 1954, a producer must (1) be in compliance with1 his 1954 wtieat acreage allotment and all other 1954 allotments which have been or will be established for basic commodities in which he has an interest on the farm, (2) obtain wheat marketing cards for all farms in the county on which he has an interest in the wheat crop. A minimum support price is announced at this time in ac cordance with "forward pricing" provisions of the Agricultural Act of 1919 If the wheat parity price as of July 1, 1954 (the beginning of the marketing year for the 1954 crop) is higher, the support level will be increased to reflect 90 per cent of the wheat parity price at that time. In no event will the support be lower than the $2.20 national average announced to-dav. The 1951 crop wheat will be supported through farm-storage and warehouse-storage loans and by the. offer of the Commodity Credit Corporation to purchase wheat delivered by producers under the purchase agreements. Loans and purchase agreements will be available from time of harvest through January 31, 1955. o Fewer Cattle Than Usual in Feed Lots Last minute decisions are like ly to he in order this year as to the number of cattle operators will put into their feed lots, savs Ktl Coles, livestock marketing specialist at Oregon State college. Coles explains a number of fac tors toward fewer cattle being fed this year. A combination of what cattlemen would call two "bad" years, a tightening of credit, the "in-and-outers" staying out this year, some cattle feeders switch. ing to hogs, large cattle numbers and position in cattle cycle all are backed up with fewer than usual cattle going to feed lots so far in 1953. However, it is still early in the season and there are other in fluences that may change the feed lot operator's mind, the "o.hisi explains. Many regu lar feeders have large corn and hay crops and big crops of soy beans. Thev also have eauin- ment and feeding is part of their program. Feeder cattle prices are favorable and the supply is large. Fumigation Control Bulletin Published Destruction grasses are one of the most effective means of com bating insects which attack grain, mill products, flour, cereals, and seeds, says a bulletin recently re leased by the Oregon State col lege extension service. The publication, "Fumigation for Insect Control", lists insects that may be controlled by fumi gation. They are bean weevil, pea weevil, vetch weevil, meal and flour moths, granary beetles, and other insects that feed upon and multiply in stored grain, mill products and seeds. Five types of fumigation listed are vault, railway freight ear, general or large scale fumigation of warehouses and mills, bin, and vocuum fumigation. Plans are included for building a fumiga tion vault. It is stressed that the rooms or containers to be fumi gated be made as nearly gas-tight as possible. Recommended fumigants are given and the use of gas-masksi is advised. ' Copies of the publication are! available from county extension! offices and OSC.
