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.

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

percentage of parity that was in
effect for this year's crops. Based
o n average prices for September

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

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.

Kvery autumn our High School
has a contest to nee who can get

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.
From where I ait, it's no won
