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.

Very pleasing.
The U. S. 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. '
