Game Commission Ahead of
Sportsmen
The violent protests which arose again this
year from a good share of the residents of this
section of Eastern Oregon against the either sex
deer season have not all fallen on deaf ears, it
seems. Several western Oregon papers looked at
the idea with some scepticism and one of the most
recent to question the game commission's idea is
the North Bend News. It remarked editorially
under the above heading:
The state game commission appears to be
ahead of the sportsmen (and ranchers) in estab
lishing an either sex deer season.
Many local sports enthusiasts are fearful that
if the practice is continued it will mean an end to
(leer hunting as they have known it in Oregon.
As Dr. Garner so aptly put it, "Soon the only
deer to be found in this state will be in parks and
zoos."
Eastern Oregon is up in arms about the special
season. Ranchers particularly are opposed to it.
Harold Oar, who has a large ranch near Prine
ville, said here the other day that sportsmen had
a tendency to shoot anything that moved and so
a lot of cattle were left rotting on the plains
after the special season was over.
Game conservationists have varying opinions
about a doe season. The State of Colorado has
had, at least in years past, a doe season. . For a
time the feeling was strong in the midwest that
the season could be safely opened on hen phea
sants. This philosophy was pursued for several
years, but abandoned when the pheasant popula
tion became decimated after the war. Some con
servationists still argue, however, that nature, not
guns, is responsible for cycles in game population
and either papa or mama birds can be killc'd
without harming the equilibrium.
At any rate, the game commission should 'care
fully study its position on the either sex deer sea
son after the results of this one are in before al
lowing it again. We know of many instances
where killing of young deer was wanton this year,
and it will continue to be as long as the hunter
can kill anything that moves, up to and including
himself.

wheat under loan so far this year
represents a little over 30 of
the 1953 crop. Last year, a lit
tle over 21 of the wheat crop
was put under loan by October
15. In my opinion, this indicates
several things. Perhaps the most
important is that with the large
carryover of wheat, storage space
will be at a premium. With mar
ket prices a little weak, a lot of
this wheat under loan will be de
livered to the government. This
will mean that commercial stor
age will probably be at quite a
premium when the 1954 crop be
gins to roll in.

Joe Devine, who has been one

the entire acreage is being de

While not all of the practices
which Kenneth ultimately wishes
to see on the place are now carried
out, they are included in his ear

would be of interest to every
Morrow County farmer being
used on the Peck ranch, are strip
cropping, sodded waterways, re
tirement or poor sons to grass

best time to control cattle lice
is during the fall months, Octo

it requires less insecticide for
thorough coverage, lice are fewer
in number than they will be later
during the wintermonths, wea
ther conditions are usually more
favorable for spraying, and lice
are controlled before they have a
chance to build up to damaging
numbers. There are a number of
very good insecticides from

When spraying, be sure to use at

4-H Club Leaders
Win Chicago Trips
Two Oregon 4-H leaders have
been awarded trips to the Na
tional 4-H Club Congress in Chi
cago in recognition of their out
standing work and long time in
terest in club work. They are
Mrs. Hildah Highbe of Beaverton
and Pete Pattee of Condon.
Mrs. Highbe became a leader
in 1929 and has directed 38 clubs
in canning, cookery, health, for
estry, clothing, garden and poul
try. Three of her club members
have earned trips to National
Club Congress at Chicago, one
winning national honors.
Pattee, a wheat and cattle
rancher, has led 26 clubs during
the past 20 years in beef, swine,
poultry and rabbits. He was a
member of the Gilliam county
fair board for 15 years.
Announcement of their selec
tion for the trips was made by
Burton S. Hutton, state 4-H club
leader at Oregon State college,
as the state is preparing to ob
serve National 4-H Achievement
Day, November 14. That is the
day the nation salutes 4-H youth
and their local volunteer leaders
for their year of accomplishment.
Mrs. Highbe and Pattee will
accompany Oregon's 4-H delega
tion when it leaves for Chicago
Thanksgiving day. The trip for
the two leaders is sponsored by
Aaron Frank of Portland, who has
made this award for eight years.
Hutton said the two delegates
represent more than 2500 volun
teer leaders throughout the state
who played a major role in build
ing the 4-H program during the
past year.
The state executive committee
of the Oregon 4-H Leaders asso
ciation, which recently complet
ed it annual fall meeting, noted
growing interest among men and
