To Save and Faithfully to Defend From Waste . . Oregon's governor, Paul Patterson, in proclaim ing this week, May 1 to 7, as Conservation Week did so in recognition of the fact that "the conser vation and intelligent development, use and pro tection of all of our national resources is of pri mary importance to our present generation and to generations yet unborn." It is a campaign to focus the attention of every person in Oregon on the prime importance of all our natural resources and to educate each in the wise use of our soils, forests, water supplies, wildlife and minerals. Some of our natural resources are renewable. For example, tree farms are now being widely de veloped and used to renew our forest crops for fenerations to come, and wildlife with proper care and preservation can continue to grow and re produce in the forests of Oregon. And, they will have to expand and grow with the years for, as time passes, an expanding population is going to make ever increasing demands upon them. Ju.st the opposite is true of the farmlands and the water resources of our state. As our people increase, the need for more fertile soil and more water will be apparent, but soil and water re sources are limited. If our soil is allowed to wash or blow away it cannot be replaced except by wait ing for thousands or millions of years and we won't be able to afford to wait that long. The same is true of water. There is only so much and to educate those who use It in the ways to get the most from what we have, is one of the primary purposes of Conservation week. Conservation in all forms is a problem belong ing to each and every one of us, not just the far mer who tills the soil or the lumberman who cuts and saws the trees of our forests, or the commer cial fisherman who makes his living from the streams and waters of he state. Every person in 'the state has a mighty big stake in the conserva tion of all of the wealth of Oregon's natural re sources, for if they are wasted haphazardly, It is entirely possible that we who are here now, will see the day when we will wish we had used more ludrment in the consumption of them. Here in this section of the state, soil, water and timber conservation are foremost in our minds. The wasting of our soil is probably our number one worry, and it is also the phase of conservation which is receiving the most attention.

Under the able direction ot JNewi u nua, county chairman for Conservation Week, a size able committee has provided service clubs, schools and other organizations with talks and pictures illustrating the value of conservation in all forms. It has been the start of an educational program that should be carried on. . ' Morrow county people are urged to participate in the observance of Conservation Week and to read carefully and believe the Conservation pledge . . . "I give my pledge as an Oregonian to save and faithfully defend from waste the natural resources of my state ... its soil and minerals, its forests, waters and wildlife." MaArT SAYS By Mary Van Stevens The streets of Heppner are al ways cluttered up with candy wrappers, gum wrappers, etc. surely there is some way to make people want a cleaner city and do something about it. Won t you ALL help and drop that waste paper in a can next time? trol over prices grew 6.5 billion of the 6.8 millior bushels in this years wheat crop. Pakistan is the only large wheat producer that doesn't have controls or supports other than tarrif protec tion. Most countries 1 aim at higher prices to the wheat farmer. Importing countries try to stipu late production in order to cut down on imports. Exporting countries generally try to push the sale of surpluses and still try to get the growers a good price. Government policies range from Perus indirect support-to con trols on flour to Soviet Russia's complete control of everything but the weather. IONE School Notes Chester L.

From The County Agent's Office By N. C Anderson On Tuesday of last week, the county agent spent the day with E. R. Jackman, range crops spe cialist, and visited several of the last year plantings of the graz ing type alfalfas seeded with grass. At the Paul Webb ranch the 95 acre seeding near the mountain foothills is looking good. Nomad, Rhlzoma, Sevelre, Ranger and Ladak alfalfas were seeded with Alia Fescue and Intermediate Wheatgrass. The soil at tills planting is saturated with water and with a few sun shiny days, growth should be ex cellent. At the Newt O'Harra ranch near Lexington, a winter 1954 seeding looked at showed an excellent stand of crested wheat grass with the alfalfa not yet showing up as good as in other seeding throughout the county. Perhaps the most outstanding seeding is one at the Donald ret erson farm in the Eightmile com munity. This 50 acre seeding of the five alfalfa varieties, are seeded with eight pounds of crest ed wheatgrass per acre. The ETTA SHEPPARD'S DANCE RECITAL HEPPNER HIGH SCHOOL GYM FRIDAY, MAY 6-8:00 P. M.

COURT HOUSE PARK NO ADMISSION CHARGE seeding made in early April 1954, made an excellent growth last year and has reached a good hotoht this sorlne. This field will be grazed beginning next week. Of interest to bur farmers who are seeing what grazing type alfalfa will do on their ranches, there is the recent release of figures of carrying capacity on a field of Nomad alfalfa sesded with intermediate and pubescent wheatgrass. This seeding made .nf thA tfd MeCanse ranch near North Powder is comparable to our Eightmile and higher eleva tion seedings. On a 90 acre field which hasi been established for several vears, Mr. MeCanse turn ed 300 yearling steers in the last Hav nf Junp 1954. These 300 steers grazed the 90 acre pasture State Farm Bureau president aitlifl , I (li-VU !.- sr --.v, x I IJC11 Ilia TV Ui JW for approximately 30 days.

Tne average poumis oi uuei produced per acre on this field was 212. The steers on the field gained 2.4 pounds per day and at thA nrir-p thev were sold off this field, the alfalfa grass pas ture broucht approximately $50. 00 per acre income. Those who insnected the field last fall found a pood reerowth and the field wont into the winter with a lot of aftermath. A tour to most of the 600 acres of grazing legume trial seedings will hA held on June 1st and 2nd Mr. Jackman and other officials interested in these grazing type alfalfas will be in the county to assist with the tour which Is be ing sponsored by the range and pasture improvement committee of the Morrow county Livestock Growers Association. Recent word from Oregon State College points out that 96 out of every 100 bushels of wheat pro duced irt the world is grown un der some form of price control.

"Before Josephine there was Desiree and some said there was always Desiree" Last week John Landers, exten sion animal husbandman, spent one day with the county agent in beef cattle improvement work here. Herds at the Frank An derson, Herbert Ekstrom and Alec Lindsay ranches were the ob jective of improvement work. At the Frank Anderson ranch, thirteen yearling bulls were pro filed for dwarf carrying character istics and graded. The bulls all graded 2 or over with the major ity being 2-plus grade. One out standing bull graded 1-, which incidentally takes an awfully good bull to be graded as such. The group of bulls at the Herb Ekstrom ranch were graded, grad ing 2 and 2-plus with a couple of immature younger bulls that were graded 2-. At the Alec Lind say ranch, the first commercial herd work for Morrow county in the form of profiling for dwarf carrying characteristics was car ried out on 13 herd bulls used by Mr. Lindsay. This group of bulls was one of the best that I have found heading a commercial herd and many of the bulls would im prove quality and confirmation in registered herds. The bulls were purchased from such top breeders as Bill Duff, Pendleton; Hotchkiss Bros., Burns; Boylen Ranch, Stanfield; Harold Eakin, Grass Valley; Herbert Chandler, Baker; Frank Anderson, Heppner. o BUY NOW . .

In the one-mile straightaway run for low priced cars, the first two places and six of the first ten went to Chev- rolets. And in acceleration runs from a standing start against all comers, the Motoramic Chevrolet beat all other low-priced cars and every high-priced car except one! What's behind this blazing perform ance? A compact honey of a V8 that only the world's leading producer of valve-in-head engines can build. Chev rolet's new "Turbo-Fire V8". puts a new kind of fun in your driving life.
