Single Copy 10 cent Polio Isn't Licked Yet America Is a land in which, after the family, the neighborhood Is the social unit. In times of trouble and disaster, neighbors have a way of taking care of their own. It seems volunteer workers, again "the neighbors", are always ready and willing to go Into action when disaster in any form strikes their fellow Americans. So it has been in the fight against polio, the disease which so often has the impact of both personal and family disaster. The March of Dimes has won support all over America because one neighbor is willing to lend a hand to an other. But it is not always the neighbor next door. The neighbor in the fight against polio may be an afflicted child In another city far away. Notwithstanding the Salk vaccine, many thous ands of polio patients still need help people for whom the vaccine, developed with the help of March of Dimes contributionscame too late. Also there is still a very big job to be done In medical research, in training scientists and doc tors and others in a fight to the finish against this crippling disease. January is March of Dimes month ... It Is your chance to send in your check for as much as you can afford to the Morrow county chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis or drop your contribution into any of the many special March of Dimes containers you'll see in every store. Remember there are thousands who are still suffering from the effects of polio, and your dimes are needed to caie for them just as badly as they are needed to continue the search for the final answer. No, polio isn't licked yet. From The County Agent's Office By N. C Anderson Several farmers have inquired at the office In the last few days for sources of spring barley for seed. We would appreciate it if anyone who has spring barley to sell would advise this office so that farmers looking for seed could be helped In locating bar ley. There, no doubt will be numerous calls for sources of seed since many farmers did not get their fall barley seeded and there is bound to be some reseed ing of winter barley damaged by the weather. This Is Just a reminder to those Interested in livestock produfr tion, of the annual meeting of the Morrow County Livestock Growers Association which will be a panel on livestock market ing and discussions on livestock diseases, feeds and feeding, and insect control. On Saturday the meeting will be held at the Elks Lodge Room, beginning at 10:00 a. m. Two interesting films on livestock roduction will be shown along with committee reports and business meeting. The day will end with a social hour, ban quet and dance. At the banquet a part of the program will be that of a presentation of the certifi cate for Morrow County which has Just qualified as a certified, modified, Bangs free area. All livestock men and women are in vited to attend the program of the two days whether they are members of the association not. A meeting of much interest to the farmers of Boardman and Irrigon, will be that of the annual get-together of the Boardman Soil Conservation District. It will be held at the Irrigon School on January 17. The program gets under way at 11:30 a. m. with a conservation film.

Sometime we overlook our own livestock men when high recognition is given to livestock producers through out the state. The story that re lates the history of Frank's oper ations and how he has built up an outstanding herd in a few short years is something for all livestock men to be proud oi. or 'What he has contributed to the improvement of livestock quality in the herds carrying his breed ing in Oregon is something to be proud of. The U. S. parity ratio dropped from 109 in 1945 to 89 in 1954. 1955 average may hit around 85. At mid October, this measure of farm product purchasing power stood at 82, lowest since Novem ber 1940. Experimental work carried on at the University of Minnesota between lean and fat type pigs within a herd, as to growth rate, feed efficiency and carcass trait showed that the lean pig gained almost one-tenth pound per day faster and required twenty pounds less feed for each one hundred pounds of grain than did their fatter herd-mates. These pigs were all sold on a grade and yield basis. Average price per hundred weight on the basis of grade and yield of carcass over live market value was $1.44 for the premium grade pig and 93c for the remainder. This is an advantage of 51c per hundred weight for the premium pig over the others. For those hog rais ers who have disregarded the market demand for meat-type hogs, these figures might help to change the basis of selection. With the experiment indicating a greater efficiency of production and higher market return for the leaner pigs in a herd, selection of fast growing, long well balanced !
