What About That
Red Hat Day Pledge?
Two news stories In this week's paper tell of
two instances which pretty well answer any ques
tion someone might ask as to why so many far
mers post their lands against all trespassing and
hunting during Oregon's deer season. In one case
a valuable horse was shot and killed within sight
of its owner's house; in the other, a fawn vas
killed on property quite adequately posted against
trespass by two hunters who admitted they saw
the signs but couldn't resist the temptation to
shoot the deer even though they knew it was
against the law. The killers of the mare are un
known, which for the sake of their own necks is
probably for the best, but the men who shot the
fawn on private property got caught in the act by
an owner of the land.
Just a few weeks ago Oregon observed Red Hat
Day, a special day set aside to ask all hunters and
sportsmen to be careful and to impress ail persons
with the obligation that they have to use care and
judgment in the woods and that they must re
spect the rights of others. Everyone was asked to
take the Rod Hat Day pledge: "to he law abiding;
to respect rights and property of others; to be
careful with fire and firearms," and we don't
doubt but that the hujiters who were responsible
for these two illegal acts, knew of that day and
the pledge. Yet, something in their makeup ap
parently gave them the idea that when they have
a gun in their hands they are king . . .ithat
l hey can go wherever and d0 whatever they
PlfTrue only a very few of the many thousands of
hunters'who migrate to the Morrow county woods
each season, cause any trouble, but because of
those few, all will suffer and a farmer who loses
a horse worth hundreds or thousands of dollars
can hardly be blamed for taking every means
possible to keep hunters off his land.
Red Hat Day was a good start on an educa
tional program, and it should be continued and
enlarged, but it seems that some people just
won't learn except the hafd way. If they don't,
future years may well find nearly all of Morrow
county's private land closed to them, and it
should be.
Speaking of hunters, we met the greatest col
lection of cars last Sunday afternoon between
Heppner Junction and Heppner that we have ever
seen on that road. We counted 92 going down
the creek toward the Columbia while we were
coming up, a big share of them hunters heading
for home and we would guess that close to 75
percent of them had at least one deer. Also
understand that other highways out of the area
carried at least as much or more traffic.

This Is the last call to all
wheat farmers urging them to
participate in the fall meeting
of the Morrow County Wheat
Growers Association. The meet
ing will be held this Saturday,
October 22 at the Lexington
Grange hall. I have talked to
quite a few farmers during the
past week and they agree that if
something is not done about
bringing up the income of the
wheat farmer, there will be some
land changing hands. While it is
not always possible to get every
thing a person wants, it is surely
true that nothing can be gained
if no effort Is made.
Committee meetings on tax
ation and legislation, production
and land use, wheat disposal and
transportation, federal agricul
tural programs, youth aclivities,
and domestic wheat utilization
will give wheat farmers the op
portunity to discuss thoroughly
ing many more years of useful
life. Many new machine sheds
have been built throughout the
county in the past few years
which are truly a good invest
ment on those farms. They not
only add to the neatness of the
place bv having everything un
der one roof, but keep machinery
in tip-top shape for better trade
in values and longer life.

Farmers who are planning on
seeding grasses this fall and next
spring will find that the prices
have gone ud on many, especial
ly those that are adapted to dry
land production. The production
of smooth Broam grass seed this
year is the smallest since 1948
and only about half an average
crop, while production of Crested
Wheatgrass seed is the smallest
on record according to the Crop
Reporting Service. Dry, hot
weather together with relatively
low prices to growers during the
past two years is mainly respon
sible for the decline of produc
tion of these two seeds. Many
of the other grasses are not quite
so small production-wise, but
there will not be sufficient quan
tities for everyone.
About six weeks ago, a group
representing the Oregon Wheat
Growers League, interested in
Federal Crop Insurance, met with
representatives of the Crop In
surance Program to discuss pos
sible changes in the Federal Crop
Insurance Program recommended
for several years by the various
county groups. Attending from
Oregon were Van Rietmann, Ches
ter Choates, Merril Conley, Sam
Cook, and Glenn Purnell. Each of
the recommendations are gone
through completely with varying
success on bringing about that
recommendation. In summariz
ing the meeting, the group said
that this was the greatest success
obtained on the League's reso
lutions pertaining to crop insur
ance in the history of that or
ganization. They hastened to
add, however, that this was the
first step toward activating reso
lutions passed by the league and
that the committee on Federal
Crop Insurance would" continue
to keep In touch with the situa
tion and take the necessary ac
tion to obtain final inogeration of
the resolution.
