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).

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.

The parity ratio, the yardstick

farm products and the prices of
goods and services that farmers

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.

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

Slugger Wins
the "Home" Game
Slugger White, the home town's
star hitter, dropped by the other
day to talk baseball, and to "tell
one" on himself.
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.
