This weekend the people of Heppner and Mor row county are all set to extend a big welcome to a great many visitors, and homefolks too, who will be in town to see and take part in our big weekend the Morrow county Fair and Rodeo. It's a show put on largely by the homefolks who also spend the rest of the year here, but it's planned and organized so that it will be enjoyed by everyone, county residents and visitors alike. Nearly all of the old favorite events that you've been expecting are on the program agaiti this year, such as the Morrow county amateur calf roping, the Fat Stock show and sale, the 4-H pig scramble, Saturday's grand rodeo parade, the cow boy breakfast, the rodeo itself with a whole host of amateur as well, as many of the country's top professional cowboys taking part. There are many other events too, and each one is on the program for the purpose of entertaining and pleasing you. It's our big weekend, but it's all for you. We hope you enjoy it with us! School Days Call for Driving Care With school starting again next week in all county districts, as well as in many other sections of the state, car drivers must again use caution when passing school grounds, safety lanes and school buses. One very important state law, which is inoper ative during the summer vacation, requires all cars to stop when meeting or overtaking a school bus which is stopped to load or unload students. The reason for such a law is obvious, and most drivers observe the ruling more from a desire to be careful and save lives than just because it is a state law. Yet there are those who forget, and It Is for them that this reminder is given. Youngsters don't always watch for dangerous traffic hazards no matter how much safety is drilled into them at home and at school, that is why It is up to drivers to watch out for them. Oregon's posted speed laws and taffic regula tions are designed to save lives and injuries, yet all the traffic officers in the state can't keep some drivers from daily threatening to kill themselves and others. We all need to use out heads a little more when we drive if only to save our own necks. LN HOMETOWN AMERICA From The County Agent's Office By N. C. Anderson As time grows nearer to seed ing time, farmers are thinking and discussing more regarding the use of diverted wheat acres. There is quite some interest in grasses and legumes, others are going to seed out gulleys and waterways. But the majority of our farmers are yet undecided what to do with a third of their land which has in the past pro duced them a cash crop. At a meeting at Denver of the head of the various agencies con cerned with the decisions in our farm agricultural program should decide soon what the program will lie. There lias been some talk of relaxing the strict allot ment program to allow farmers to seed part of their diverted acres to cash crops. Some are speculating that this will be the outcome of these meetings. It is expected however that it will go hand in hand with a program aimed at getting more land into conservation practices. For in stances, some provision may be made whereby if a person carries out specific conservation prac tices on a portion of hte land he would be allowed to seed another percentage to cash crops in ex cess of his wheat acres. We are sure that some important an nouncements will be made soon.

The total gain for the na tion has been reported at around 5.4 percent. Taxes levied on farm land have increased for the eleventh consecutive year. The largest increase was in Nebraska this past year where there was a 22 percent increase for taxes levied on farm real estate. This was due to a new state equaliza tion program which resulted in shifting the tax burden from per sonal property and public utili ties to real estate. One state, Nevada, showed a two percent decrease. In Oregon, the gain in taxes levied on farm real estate during 1953 showed an increase of 3.8 percent over 1952.

For Comfort SEE YOUR SIEGLER DEALER FOR MORROW COUNTY L. E. DICK PHONE 6-9633 HEPPNER For those who have been won dering about the disappearance of the goatweed beetles that were released in goatweed patches earlier this summer, these should be no fear. It is entirely normal for these beetles to disappear at j this time of the year. Briefly the , life history of the insect is as fol lows: the adult beetles immergo during later April or May and feed on the foHage of .goatweed. The later part of June and in July, the fully fed beetles seclude themselves beneath stones and in the soil and hibernate for the remainder of the summer. This is called aestivation. With the coming of the fall rain the beet les become active and commence laying eggs in about mid Octo ber. By spring, most of the eggs have hatched and the larvae are reaching maturity.
