Single Copy 10 cents. The Great Baby Boom A recent issue of Time magazine carried a fea ture article which began: "The U. S., which was buying baby food at the rate of 270,000,000 cans in 19 10, this year is buying it at the rate of 1,500, 000,000 cans. In the same period, the U. S. toy in dustry has grown from an $84,000,000-a-year strip ling to a $900,000,000 giant, and the sale of bicy cles has almost doubled.... These are the mea suring slicks of the "Great Baby Boom." Time then dealt at some length with the far reaching significance of this. One paragraph said: "By 1975 the U. S. will need to set a 'fifth plate' for every four persons now consuming. Set ting this fifth plate will demand an increase in cattle production, for instance, equivalent to all the present production of Texas plus Oklahoma and Minnesota, and enough more lambs to match the great production of Montana, Wyoming, Utah and Nevada combined. To produce this much food, every five acres of U. S. land must produce as much as six acres today creating a tremend ous need for more tractors, fertilizer, soil condi tioners and other means of increasing food pro duction." We all know that mechanized farm equipment has created an agricultural revolution in the space of little more than a century. What fewer of us realize is that this revolution is still in high gear and gaining momentum. For this equip ment, allied tools and techniques, not only makes greater and more economical production possible it also is the means of conserving and improv ing the land for future generations. The Great Baby Boom is a living illustration of the vital im portanee of farm machinery. It should indicate that before long, demand may again exceed the supply of many of the products produced in our area. A pleasant thought. But along wilh that thought comes an other realization that because of the boom what it has already brought and what it will bring in the coming years we also have a school prob lem, along with most of the rest of the country Also, it should indicate to us that when we do build a school we should look far enough ahead in our planning that we won't have to re-do the job a few years hence at an even greater cost. From The County Agent's Office By N. C. Anderson Announcements were made this Bureau of Animal Industry', is past week that the support prices for the 1951 crops of oats, barley, rye and grain sorghums would he at 85 of parity. Tills is the same percentage of parity that was in effect for this year's crops. Based o n average prices for September 15, this year, the support price for oats will he around 75c a bushel. Barley will he supported around $1.15 a bushel. Support price of rye will be around $1.43. CI rain sorghums will be about $2.20 a hundred. Wilh about 40,000 acres of wheat allotment ground diverted to bailey, the expected produc tion of this crop for Morrow county will run at about one and one-half million bushels. Tins will mean that a lot of will ho necessary If this barley is to be stored under the price support program. Many fanners have asked at the office what the status of the Hangs h'si program it to date. Dr. George Martigg, veterinarian, still testing in Morrow county. Our compulsory test program calls for an annual test of all cattle. An attempt will be made to test everything again this fall and during the winter months while cattle are handy for test ing at the farm headquarters. Dr. Marugg is anxious to have more appointments now in testing so that he does not have a flood of requests which tie cannot han dle all at one time. An appoint ment can be made with him for testing your cattle by calling him at 6-!M08, Heppner. Recent word from the State Department of Agriculture noti fies us that the payment for Bangs reactors by the Federal storage ; govehnment shall not now ex coed $9 for grade animals and $18 for purebred animals. Under Oregon law counties will be re quired to pay a maximum of $8 for a grade animal and $12 for a purebred animal. This maximum I'igue paid by he counties will be matched by the State, and the Federal government will in turn indemnity at the rate of not to exceed $9 for each grade and $18 for each purebred animal. Morrow county cattlemen con tinue to top the sales with our cattlemen doing good at the Mid Co Sulo held this week at Moro.

The winner becomes honorary Principal for a day. Skip Roberta won last week, and bia first (and only) official act as "Principal" of the school was to announce in a loud, clear voice: "I hereby declare today u school holiday!" Knowing Miss Gilbert, the real principal, it was no surprise to me that she lauirlicd as hard as anybody else , . , and said to go risht ahead.
