Let's All Be Counted By the time most persons will -have gotten around to reading this editorial they will have had every opportunity to get a full and complete story on the coming school bond issue which will be decided next Tuesday, July G at a special elec tion. This paper has curried .stories and editorials in past weeks, and today, stories and advertise ments tell the voters what the program is, what it will give, and what it will cost. Special letters have also been sent out to all registered voters in the district telling of the plans. We believe the bonding program has been com pletely and fairly presented to the people who must now act upon it. Next Tuesday the polls at the Heppner school will be open from 2 until 8 p. m. and it is the duty of every voter to express his preference on the issuance of $325,000 in bonds to finance the con struction of a new school building. This paper has strongly urged passage of the measure as the only means of meeting the serious need for more classroom space, but regardless of the individual's belief, we also urge each one to make an effort to get to the polls. Your opinion Is invaluable. . . if you Vote Bicycle Safety Drive Elsewhere in today's paper is a story from George Iteid, Heppner chief of police, which out lines several safety precautions which local bicycle-riding youngsters should read and observe. Hold's story was prepared with just one thought in mind that of the safety of Heppner's youngs- Brand Re-Recording Streamlined To Speed Up 5-Year Renewals Application for Recording of Brands LftU Position on CATTLE ters, and he hopes to educate them as to the need for proper riding of bikes. He points out that a bicycle has much the same rights and priveleges as do automobiles, but along with them they also must observe the same rules of the road. The chief's biggest worry, he tells us, is the many bikes in Heppner that do not have proper liehts or rear reflectors which are a necessity for night riding, and he has offered to help all of mpdv this difficulty. ITe will help every youngster install the proper reflectors! etc., on his bike if he will bring it and the neces sary reflectors or lights to the city hall. Reid, who is well known to most youngsters, says that if they will just ask him for his assist ance whenever ihey should happen to see him, he will arrange a time for each of them to get their equipment together and help them get it in stalled. Our chief has made a very generous offer, one that may give him quite a workout if even a por tion of Heppner's hundreds of bikes are brought in for the safety treatment. We hope that every youngster will take advantage of his aid. All he's trying to do is give local bike riders a chance for a longer life, so we hope every youngster will jump at the chance. 11 Come Back .... We've used this following little saying on more than one previous occasion, but it's so short and sweet and to the point that we are going to re peat it again this year.

To retain their present brands, own en must renew their appli cations every five years. How to get this job done fast and without headaches at both ends of the line has been a perennial problem at the State Department of Ag riculture. This time the department has hit upon a streamlined idea that it thinks will do the job. You see it above. It's a ready-made applica tion blank. All the stockman needs to do is to sign his name, draw in the earmarks used and return the form along with the recording fee. The fo. n above will go to all stockmen of record al ready filled out as you see it. This particular applica tion covers cattle; similar ones cover 'horses, sheep, swine and poultry. It's taken a crew at department head-, quarters in Salem months to get the brand applications ready for mailing. The first 2000 applications will go in the mail July 1, and 2000 more daily until mid-July. After that well, the department's animal di vision hopes this will bring in the brands!

A striking example was that of stubble mulch or common ly known as trashy fallow at this ranch. Fields of trashy fallow carried out this year with a gra ham homey plow which has been used very successfully in other parts of the county especially in the lower rainfall, lighter soil areas. However, this implement is doing a good job at the Ander son ranch. Frank is convinced that when fall comes, he will have no trouble seeding with his 15 inch drills. Also observed was a fine seed ing of grazing type alfalfas with crested wheat and intermediate wheatgrass. This field was seed ed on steep land, taken out of wheat production. Frank has again this year an excellent calf crop and promises to have many good bulls, offered for sale to help improve Morrow County's live stock industry. His new com mander bull purchased last win ter is being used on some selected cows this year. The bull is being used only lightly as he is a 15 months old bull. Kenneth Smouse, lone rancher, i recently marketed a small group of yearling steers and heifers that he had been feeding grain to during the winter months. The steers brought $22.50 and $23.50 and averaged right at 900 pounds. A lighter heifer brought $19.50. Each year Kenneth has fed his new calves in his small herd and marketed them as fat animals. fertilizer trial plots, variety trials, tillage methods, and dry land tree plantings. The ladies are in vited to attend the field day and to observe plantings at the grounds near the station resi dence. The program will begin at 1:30 p. m. The exports of wheat from ma jor exporting countries of the world continue well below that of a year ago. The total move ment up to June 1st was 277c less than for the same period last year. The carryover of wheat from the 1953 wheat is at a record level. The total stocks of wheat in the United States, Canada, Argentina, and Australia total a little over 1.7 billion bushels. This is 40 million bushels larger than the previous record on June lst'in 1913. Around 52 of these total stocks were in the United States at the beginning of June. This is the main reason that wheat acreage allotments were again announced for 1955. The 1955 (ur nic TuiT )ia ) PPCETAG. tr$ACAZ W CAM WU APPOPO J&.f f j ImWYES l3 LOTS CP GAS 'PUMPS.
