By the time many persons will have had an op portunity to read this America's second Safe Driving day will be nearly over and it is hoped that Morrow will again be one of the counties in Oregon to come through with a perfect record as it did last year. However, the early evening and nitetime hours are always the worst for ac cidents s0 there is plenty of reason to continue to be a careful driver the rest of today. Last year S-D was December 15 and on that day theie were 80 accidents and 13 injuries in Oregon. On December 1, last year, which is this year's S-D day, there were C9 accidents, 27 injured and two killed in Oregon and it Is the hope of everyone in Oregon who is concerned with the promotion of Safe-Driving Day that the 1955 ob servance will mean a great reduction in unneces sary traffoc accidents. Your help Is needed to make the 1955 S-D a success. S-D day is being observed nationally and the idea of a one- day attempt to cut traffic accidents originated with the President's safety council. In Oregon the Day is sponsored by the Citizens Com mittee on Highway Safety who not only work for S-D day alone but are active the year around to educate the driving public in the need for more driving care. In Morrow county we came through last year's S-D day with no accidents of any kind and there is no reason why we can't do It again this year. Let's not just stop at one day, though. With a little care, maybe Morrow county can make It S-D Year. From The County Agent's Office By N. C. Anderson Several weeks ago, w? announced county winners from the eastern in this column that trees for windbreak and shelterbelt plant ings were available from the state forestry. Trees available for eastern Oregon planting are: Grand fir, Chinese arborvitae, Ponderosa pine, Lodgepole pine, Black locust, Russian mulberry, Russian olive, and Caragana. Ori ginally announced, was that the Chinese elm was available but later it was found that due to heavy deer damage, there would be no Chinese elm available this fall. Last week we had word from our extension forester at Oregon State College that the state forest nursery at Davis, California, has several thousand fine Sequoia gigantae trees two years old available now. The cost is $12. 00 per thousand. Anyone who would like to try these giant Redwood can order them from State forest nursery, Route 1, Box 68, Davis California.

ITS GOVERNOR SMITH Senate President Elmo E. Smith, John Day, is acting gover nor this week during the absence of Gov. Patterson who is in Mi ami, Florida, attending the an nual meeting of the National Congress of the American Muni cipal Association. The Oregon governor will read a paper titled Governmental Relations of City and State. HELTZEL REAPPOINTED Before leaving for Florida Gov. Patterson reappointed Charles H. Heltzel as public service commis sioner for his second four-year term, commencing December 9. Commissioner Heltzel has filed notice of appeal from a decision by Judge Val Sloper, a circuit judge of Marion county, on regu lation of railroad schedules. Helt zel has contended he has author ity to keep the Southern Pacific Railroad from abandoning its "Rogue River" run between Port land and Ashland. Sloper in a declaratory judgment ruled he did not. The appeal to the State Su preme Court is the first from a decision by Sloper who was elect ed a year ago. INITIATIVE TITLE The title of an initiative mea sure to reapportion senatorial representation, by giving each of Uregons 36 counties a senator, will appear on the 1956 general election oauot just as it was prepared by Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton. A former legislator, Giles French, proponent of the measure objected to the federal reference, "Federal Plan for Reapportioning Legislature." The Oregon Supreme Court this week affirmed Thornton's proposal. If the initiative should be adopted, it would give Multno mah county one senator to rep resent its 471,537 population and give Sherman county with 2271 population the same representa tion. OTHERS GOT THE BIRD On Thanksgiving Day Fred M. Shideler, Corvallis, had some thing extra special to be thank ful for. Wednesday Gov. Paul Patterson appointed the Oregon State College director of informa tion to the much-scrambled-for post now labeled Administrative Assistant to the Governor, sak-iry $9,000 per annum.

A lot of concern is being shown by catllemon over the past cou ple of years in reRard to the mar ket for heifers. The price of hei fers have been consistently at least 2c under the price of steers and in a few cases this fall, sales of weaner calves were not com pleted because buyers would not buy the entire herd, heifers and steers mixed. One of the rea sons for the discount on heifers is the great number that are being put on the market. With cattle numbers as great as they are, there are not as many re placement heifers being kept and many cows are being sold so that mor e she-stuff are coming to the market. Weaner heifers are not the big problem. Heavy over-fat heifers andor pregnant heifers have been discounted sharply. California has done consider able work with a marketing of heifers and have large numbers each year to dispose of. They have found that these methods return them a consistent gain in income over other methods of operation. was mute a bit of nterest n the -laJi. practice of spraying heifers a year ago because of this, however, it has tapered off some this year. The national upturn in market prices of farm real estate which began during the last half of 1954, continued at a stepped-up rate during the four months end ed July 1, 1955. The index of average value per acre for July was 29 above the 1947-49 level, 3 above March of this year and 5 above a year earlier. About one-thjrd of all farms and tracts sold were bought for farm en largement.
