The Straw Vote With the present tally of votes in the special "City Park Proposal" straw ballot running a suong 7 to 1 majority in favor of the plan to clean up the land and make a useful park out of the property, the Heppner city council certainly has received the answer to the question of what the people want them to do with the area. They want a park. The proposal as we presented it, and as we were careful to state, included the suggestion that a two mill, five year special tax levy be included in the plan and there were very few objections to the idea, apparently most people understand that if a park is to be built, it will take money to do it. Such a levy would be very small, in fact hardly noticeable to most taxpayers, and after the park was built very probably the regular $500 park fund budgeted by the city would take care of thp maintenance. Many persons who brought their ballots into our office personally stated that one of their main reasons for favoring the plan was to get rid of all of the old buildings on the land which many claim are eyesores and firetraps. This, of course, is one of the questions facing the council, for the JayCees and the Jaycee-Ettes have spent con siderable money in recent years trying to fix up th old civic center building and make it into something useful and at least passable to the eye. One end of it has been remodeled and is being used for housing kindergarten classes. The Jay cees have a lease on the building, subject to con tinued' improvement of It, though recently the or ganization has been nearly defunct and should il continue to fail to comply with the terms of the lease it would forfeit any hold it had on the building. This problem must be solved by the council and it must also formulate a definite plan for im provement of the area, the one we suggested for the straw ballot yas purely intentative anl merely suggestive, designed to give the people some idea of what such a plan would cost. It was not binding on the council, but it definitely showed the members what the people want. We think it is now up to the council to work out a plan for the park's development and present it to the people for their approval at a special election. Partnership One of the best ideas developed by this Ad ministration has been the "partnership" plan of electric power development. But it has been widely misrepresented. Partnership does not mean the end of public power. It does not mean that great resources will be "given away" to ruthless private interests for exploitation. It does mean, to the contrary that the federal government, state and local govern ment, and private enterprise will work together to develop needed projects in the quickest possible time and at the lowest possible cost to the bene fit of every consumer of power. It means that im portant new resources of tax revenue will become available for government on all levels. And the work will be done under regulations, laws and contracts which will fully protect the interest of all concerned, and make exploitation of the pub lie impossible. It is a function of government to control floods and reclaim land. Electric power is a by-product of such operations. But it is not a function of government to go into the commercial power busi ness any more than it is a function of govern ment to provide us with any other commercial service or commodity. Under partnership, regu lated private enterprise will do jobs which it is superbly fitted to do and which the past socialist mania has prevented it from doing. The people will get powei at the lowest practical price. And the public treasuries will get tax money they sorely need, (lnduclrial News Review). From The County Agent's Office By N. C. Anderson Selection of sites for the 1955 available to our farm people. Ap-u-h-nt fertilizer exoeriments Ideation of fertilizers are being have been made. Dr. Hunter and Dr. Gerard of the Oregon stale experiment station assisted the county agent last week in mak ing selections and staking them out. Sites for the 1955 plots were located at the Ralph Crum, John l'roiiflfoot ranches north of lone, the D. O. Nelson ranch north of Lexington, the O. W. Cutsforth ranch, Lexington, Don Heliker ranch west of lone, Milton Mor gan ranch South of lone, Don Peterson ranch In Eightmile, the Hob Van Schoiack ranch in San ford canyon, and the Vernon Mun kers ranch southwest of Heppner. One more site is to be selected, this one to be in the Sandhollow area. This year the plots will be set up as in the past using 20, 40, (0, and SO lbs. of nitrogen with and without applications of phos phorous and sulphur. Added this year will be trials with a few of the trace elements which have not yet been designated. The plots will consist of 17 8' x 50' plots randomized over 4 replica tions. Nitrogen and soil mois ture determination will be made at the time of seeding in the spring and at harvest time to cor. relate moisture and nitrogen to yields and to applications made, Both spring and fall applications of the fertilizers are used. Har vesting will be done with the ex periment stations self-propelled made in plots throughout the Columbia Basin now with work estiated to begin here the first week in October. About 3,733.000 bushels of wheat from CCC stocks will he disposed of to Brazil and the Uni ted Slates will acquire three stra tegic materials in return. The transaction has the dual purpose of providing a friendly country with wheat that it now needs in which it will obtain without transfer of scarce dollars. The strategic materials the U. S. will receive in return are thorium for the Atomic Energy Commis sion, rare earths and monazite which is the source of thorium. The wheat will be sold at prices reflecting International Wheat agreement levels. vent ion Week again. This year, the week is set for October 3to 9. It is not too early to begin look ing about the farm to see how you might cut down fire hazards. Each day on the average, thirty three people are killed by fire. One third of them are on farms. Take time during fire prevention week from October 3 to 9 to make your farm and family safe from the menace of fire. This years slogan is "Lets grow up not burnup". If the number of calls from livestock men is indicative there should be a lot of livestock fed here this year. During the past week, there has been several calls in regards to feeds for win tering and fattening livestock. Most of this comes from the sur plus barley with ranchers wish ing to have it made into cubes for feeding during the winter months. It is not a bit too early to have the feed lined up for the winter feeding period. There are a few rules for rough estimation of rations' and for calculating to tal feed required for fattening. These are general guidance only. First, at least three feeds should be included in feed lot rations. Second, fattening cattle will eat 2 and one half to three pounds of dry feed or its equivalent for each hundred pounds live weight. Generally they will take three pounds per hundred weight early in the fattening period and decrease the amount later. In most practices,- the average for the period is close 2.7 or 2.8 per hundred weight. Third, for rapid gain and finish calves require one hundred pounds live weight Yearlings require on and a lourth to one half pounds of concentra tes to one hundred pounds live weight. Two year old cattle on good quality pasture or rough age, may over a longer period fatten without concentrates but in the feed lot for rapid finish the ration should contain one to one and one half pounds concen trates per hundred pounds live weight. Fourth, when a good le gume hay is used as the rough age, and the rest of tne rations consist of various concentrates, no protein supplement such as cotton seed meal is required. When non-legume hay is used, eight to ten percent in the mix or roughly two or two and one halt pounds per thousand pounds live weight of cotton seed cake or its equivalent should be fed. nun, when cattle are fattened on green pasture, no protein supplement is required. On dry pasture witn no legumes the amount of pro tein concentrate should be in creased by feeding two and two and one half pounds for each one thousand pounds of live weight.

COUNTY COURT PROCEEDINGS the The parity ratio, the yardstick measuring the relationship be tween prices received for the farm products and the prices of goods and services that farmers buy pointed toward the favorable side for farmers during August. A parity ratio went up one point to eighty-nine but is still two points under a year ago and eleven points below the hundred set by legislation as fair balance between farm prices and farm costs. In just a short time, we will be observing National Fire Pre- With the recent announcement from Secretary Benson, which eliminates total acreage allot ments and allows a wheat farmer to seed barley on their diverted acres, many inquires have been received at the county agent's of fice as to available seed of the varieties recommended for Mor i row countv. Seed is somewhat scarce but there are several good sources of recommended varieties, Ranchers are cautioned against seeding barley varieties which are not true winter varieties as while some of these showed no winter killing in 1953, 1954, the winter was relatively mild with a blanket of snow each time temperatures were low. Research at the Sherman branch experi ment station at Moro, shows that over a period of five years Trebl and Tennessee winter varieties h;d an average survival of 54 and 57 percent respectively while Olympia and Winter Club came through with 1U and 98 percent survivals. The winters of 1949 and 1951 gave complete winter kills to Trebi and Tennessee win ter while there were 88 percent survivals of Olympia and Win ter Club In spring barley va rieties, Flynn 37 leads the list in Court Proceedings for month of August, 1954.

Seems Slugger had been baby sitting. "I was doing just fine," lie said, "until it was time for a 'change.' I called Mom for advice. Still didn't get it right. Then Dad Bet me straight." "'Place the diaper like a base ball diamond with you at bat,' he said. 'Fold second base over home plate, Snd pin first and third base on home plate.' That did it with no errors!" From where I sit, Slugger's Dad had the idea. Often, like his Mom,' a lot of us tend to givje advice in our terms without considering the other fellow's way of doing things. Even in choosing your favorite beverage, it's best to think of your neighbor. If you like tea, and I prefer a temperate glass of beer, we should both "play the game" and try to un derstand each other's point of view.
