NATIONAL II SO From The County Agent's Office By N. C Anderaon Several 4-H Club, members are . vertising in sales promotion pro planning to attend the Willamette valley sheep sale and the Oregon State college livestock sale this month. The Willamette valley sale will be held at Albany on Saturday, August 6, while the Oregon State college livestock sale will be held at Corvallis on August 11. Club members are In terested in the Southdown ewes being offered for sale at the Ore gon State college auction and are interested in rams that will be offered at" both of these sales. Thej is a good offering of each of the popular breeds at both sales. Farmers are reminded that the food and drug administration has resumed a previously suspended wheat sanitation enforcement program based on specific mini mum standards. The laws under which the food and drug adminis tration operates have teeth in them. It has been reported that 10 car loads of wheat from two states have already been seized. There will be more if the adminis tration finds that it contains more than two rodent pellets per pint or a comparable amount of other contamination or if it contains 2 or more by weight of kernels visibly damaged by Insects. Plan now to rat-proof your bins and fix it to keep birds out. Inspect grain often and fumigate if In sects show up. grams to be conducted by the American Sheep Producers Coun sel Inc. If you have not returned your ballot, you had better do so at once regardless of how you vote. If you do not have a bal lot, you had better contact the local ASC office. Thirty years ago each farmer produced enough for himself and 7 other people; now he produces enough for himself and 18 others. For those farmers who might not have found time to attend either of the Pendleton of Sher man branch experiment station annual field days, a copy of their annual field day report is avail able. The report contains the findings of the station in the many different experimental pro jects they have under way. If you are Interested In a copy of this report, drop a line to this office and we will send one to you. Sheep men who have received ballots to provide the opportunity to vote on a marketing' agree ment, should look into this op portunity for a self-help program. If the agreement is favored by the producers of at least 23 of the sheep and lambs owned by those voting, 1 per pound would be deducted from each growers 1955 clip incentive payment. The fund so collected would be used for ad- Tlie United Slates had more than a billion bushels of old crop wheat on July 1 this year more than we can use in an entiie year without the addition of 8G0 million expected from this year's crop. Stocks on hand In Oregon amounted to nearly 57 million bushels close to three times the amount on hand a year earlier. Barley, too, Is piled up. U. S. Stocks of old-crop barley total nearly 130 million bushels lacking only 10 million of be ing double last year's carry-over. Oregon's carry-over stocks of bar ley jumped from Vk million on July 1, 1954 to better than 8V2 million on July 1. 1955. Oats carry-over in the Uniled States, at close to 315 million bushels, was a third higher than a year earlier. Oregon's oats carry over increas ed from 1.2 million to 2 million bushels. liHili Six of the seven wheat fertilizer plots were harvested last week. Plots on the D. O. Nelson, John Proudfoot, Ralph Crum, Don Heli ker, Milton Morgan, and Don Peterson farms lone, were thrashed. The plot at the Van Schoiack ranch is yet to be har vested but harvesting there will not start for a couple of weeks. While yields have not been cal culated yet. it appeared that fer tilizer was beneficial on several of the plots by increasing yield. At the Don Heliker farm west of McNab, all rates of fertilizer gave definite boost in yield. Word comes from Oregon De partment of Agriculture at Salem, that new producer tags for the movement of the carcasses of cat tle, calves, sheep and hogs will be available in Morrow county after August 3 from Harold B. John ston and Edgar Albert, Heppner. The free tags will also be avail able from brand inspectors at the livestock sales yards. Under 1955 Amendments to the Gasoline cowboy act which always has re quired producers to tag carcusses moved from the premises where slaughtered only one tag wil be necessary. Tags to move poultry and rabbit carcasses will not be needed after August 3. In-the oast taes have been available from the county sheriff's office. The old tag will not be recognized by the state after August 3 when they will be replaced by an en tirely new type of producer tags.

D. C ON TUESDAY, July 26, the House Tublic Works Committee held a hearing on the John Day bill, H. R. 5789. Further hearing will be held. There is a possi bility that one will be conducted in the District near the site of the John Day dam. It would cer tainly be a fine thing to have this matter discussed right on the ground. Thus interested people, who would not be able to come to Washington, could be heard. DURING the hearing I intro duced copies of resolutions from more than 50 organizations urg ing passage of this legislation. These organizations included women's groups, hjbor unions, civic groups, etc. I also intro duced a memorial from the Ore. gon State Legislature and some 40 editorials from the leading newspapers of the Northwest. Governor Patterson wired a good statement supporting this bill and when further hearings are held he may appear as a wit ness. THE FOLLOWING is a part of the statement which I made in ANY FAMILY? Families are wonderful, as All who have them know! Often the jams they get into Fill our hearts with woe! Children running into folks, On bicycle or on foot!

Evidently the television antena had been fastened to the chimney and through continued vibration loosened the morter and caused a crack in the chimney at the roof line. This was an old style chimney without a flue liner and sparks were able to es cape at the roof line. If you have such a situation at your home, it might be well to check before it is too late.
