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.

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

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.

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.

WASHINGTON. 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

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!
Someone trips upon your walk;
Broken by a tree toot!
Accidents sometimes happen
In spite of all you do!
A Family Liability Policy can
Pay the expense for you!

Just recently we heard of a near
disaster fire from a chimney that
had been looseden by a television
antena. 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.
