Arrangements have just been
completed for holding another
pruning demonstration such as
was held a year ago. This year
pruning demonstration was sche.
duled as a result of Interest and
requests after C. O. Rawlings, ex
tension horticulturist, explained
to the group of around forty far
mers and gardners the principles
of pruning. The demonstration
will include fruit trees, berries
and ornamentals. Care and cul
ture will also be discussed.
The date for this demontra
tion Is Friday, March 11. There
will be two during the day, one at
10:00 a. m. at the Oscar Peterson
farm, south of lone; the other
for that afternoon has not yet
been scheduled. It will he held
in the Heppner area. Anyone in
terested in such a demonstration
at their place should contact this
office.
Roses and other ornamentals
should be planted early while
there is plenty of moisture and
the plants are in a dormarit con
dition. Spread the roots well on
all bare rooted stock and be sure
that the soil is firmly packed
around all roots when you plant.
Stock that comes in balled form
should be planted carefully so as
not to disturb the roots and fresh
soil can be firmly packed around
the bail of soil. Water all newly
planted stock well the first year,
so it will grow and become well
established by fall.
Received at the office this week
was the grasshopper Infestation
map showing expected infesta
tions in 1955. The map was pre
pared from 1954 adult and egg
surveys made during the late
summer and fall. These egg sur
veys Indicate how severe the
grasshopper infestation . is ex
pected to be with nymphal sur
veys made each spring giving the
final index of grasshopper popu
lations. The map shows that an
area of about 160,000 acres in east
central Morrow county, lapping
over a bitnto Umatilla county,
is expected to be severe. Heavy
damage can be expected through,
out the season. Grasshopper in
festation expected in 1955 is scat,
tered in Washington, Klamath,
Malheur, Grant, Baker, Wallowa
and Umatilla counties have some
infestation.

THIRTY YEARS AGO
From Files of the Gazette Times
March 5, 1925
At the end of the week the
stock of gents furnishing goods
and haberdashery of the D. A.
Wilson .store was transferred to
the new location in the Masonic
building.
JamesHager, young son of Mr.
and Mrs. Osmin Hager, was in
jured quite seriously in a run
away Saturday morning. Several
stitches were necessary to close
the cuts on his head, but fortu
nately no bones were broken.
From a recent Oregon State
College and U. S. D. A. market
outlook, it is pointed out that
supplies have piled up in storage
places and backed clear up to the
farm. Food grain and feed grain
supplies carried over from last
year are the highest ever. Live
stock chalked up another more
than "year" in 1954. There were
more pigs saved per litter than
ever before; more milk produc
tion per cow; and more wool per
sheep shorn. The calf crop was
the highest ever and the lamb
rrnn was ud over 1953. At the
beginning of this year numbers
of livestock and poultry on larms
and ranches topped last year oy
3. We started the new year
with more butter, cheese, eggs
and nork in cold storage ware
houses, but less beef and less
froen noultrv. More frozen fruits,
fewer frozen vegetables were left
at the vears end. With these sur
nluses on hand, we will have the
largest total amount of food this
year. Weather, of course, is a
big question mark hovering over
the output for the coming season.
Kenneth Kamerror, Pine City,
is the. first farmer of our know
ledge to seed Durum wheat in
Morrow county. Kenneth is seed
lng ten bushels of Mindum Du
rum this week to determine its
adaptability to that area. The
seed was secured from North Da
kota.
Word of the passing of H. C.
Seymour, state leader of 4-H club
work in Oregon from 1916 to 1917,
has been received. In his long
time in the extension service as
leader of 4 -II club work, Mr. Sey
mour developed immeasureable
contructive influences among the
young people of the state. His
work is evidenced by the citizen
ship qualities of many thousands
of former 4-H club members now
in active leadership in state and
community affairs. Not with
standing, the confining require
ments of administration and
supervision as 4-11 state leader,
he found time to make the per
sonal acquaintance of a great
number of the boys and girls of
the state and their parents as
well, lie was brought into na
tional leadership and early recog
nized as one of the outstanding
state leaders of 411 club work in
the nation. His council was long
sought at the national level, and
he became one of the recognized
and distinguished leaders of 411
work in the nation. Many of our
former Morrow county members
and leaders were well acquainted
with Mr. Seymour.
Crocuses are in bloom every
where just peeping out of the
ground; their way of saying
"howdy do, spring's here."
Misses Zora and Mae Kilken
ny returned to Heppner Wednes
day morning after spending a few
days visiting with Miss Kathleen
and Margaret Maddock and Miss
Alice Smith in Condon.
Jack Hynd and E. Schaffer of
Butterby Flats escorted the Misses
Myrtle, Grace and Laura Chand
ler and Miss Annie Hynd to Hepp.
ner on Tuesday evening. They
took in the "Lost Battalion" and
all report having a pleasant evening.

INCOME TAX SLIP SHOWS
Adding to the problems of a
harried legislature, with a $45,
000,000 budget deficit enigma,' is
the bad news that collections of
net personal income and corpor
ate excise taxes payable in 1955
are expected to be $G,00,OoO lower
than the previous year.
"Collections from these sources
during the first seven months of
the current fiscal year amount to
$24,930,610 compared to $28,892,
435 during the same period a
year ago, the State Tax Commis

income taxes dropped from $10,
832,458 to $8,173,136 and corpor

Only 25 senate and 15 house bills
have been passed by both branch,

duced cost per act

days, 1283 bills were introduced.

pass.
