All next week has been designated Clean-Up Week In Heppner and the chamber of commerce has promoted the Idea to help give the city a face-lifting and to urge some of us slow-movers to clean up our back yards and get rid of some un sightly collections of rubbish that aren't doing anyone any good. All that Is necessary is for each of us to gather up the junk and pile it on the curb. Trucks will remove It free of charge Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Removing an eyesore from a vacant lot or a back yard should be incentive enough to join In wholeheartedly in cleaning up our town, but should that not be enough to spur some of us Into action, it should be remembered that refuse piles are one of the most dangerous fire Hazards around a house and with dry weather coming soon, right now is tne time to remove such hazards. Lets all join In to help make our town cleaner and better looking. We'll bet if we work at It we can collect twice as much junk in a week as any other town our size.

Anderson Some time ago in this column, be appreciated by the wheat far we reported that the Oregon Wheat Crowcrs League was mak ing a special attempt to influence Congress and those concerned In Washington at this critical time when a new farm program Is being developed. The Wheat League should surely be com plimented on the way that they go about in protecting and de manding legislation to the ad vantage of their members and all wheat growers. About three weeks ago the Ore gon wheat Growers League decid ed that it would be to their ad vantage to have someone with In fluence at Washington D. C. until the new farm program was adopted. They sent back to Wash ington, Marion Weatherford, Gil liam county rancher, and Jens Terjesen, Umatilla county ranch er. Both have been or are mem bers of the Oregon Wheat Com mission and are long time mem bers of the Wheat Growers Lea gue, understanding the problems that our wheat farmers have. The work that they are doing In Washington will perhaps never fat steer, grand champion 4-H fat steer and reserve champion fat steer, all prime animals, has to have good livestock to pick from and good boys and girls to finish them out.

The grade high choice mailed from Washington, out- is not far from prime and Morrow lines contacts they have made and the steps they are taking to protect the wheat farmer in any legislation past or policies made Anyone who might be hesitant to belonging to the Oregon Wheat Growers Association would need only to read these special reports and they would never again won dtr what that organization is do ing for Oregon wheat farmers. I have but one copy of each of these special reports at the office but I surely invite anyone inter ested to stop in and read them anytime they are near the office, Last weeks livestock exhibits at the Oregon Wheat Growers League 4-H and FFA fat stock show and sale again illustrated that the quality of livestock be ing produced in Morroy county is above par. It takes quality in order to have a steer good enough to put on finish to be judged for finish and conformation as grand county boys and girls exhibited five of this grade beef. The two top steers of the show were from the Howard Cleveland and Del bert Emert herds. The champion Shorthorn and reserve champion beef at the show was raised by Duane Baker from a Ferguson Sherman cow bought as a heifer several years ago. Two Short horns from the Luke Bibby herd graded high choice, a Hereford from the Frank Anderson herd, a Shorthorn from the Howard Cleve. land herd and a Shorthorn Here gord cross shown by Edna Grim of Irrigon of her own breeding. We have a combination in Mor row county that is hard to beat. The quality livestock to select from the boys and girls who can finish these livestock out as win ners in any competition.

MorrowWell to mention that the show is county with grand champion FFA drawing much more interest from Morrow county people than in former years. This year there was one of the biggest delegation of parents and interested persons present during the show. In the past, we have had supports to the auction sale from interested persons, however it Was good to see the majority of the bidders present in person, setting their own price that they were willing to encourage our boys and girls in feeding wheat to livestock.
