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. This will be
followed by a lunch provided by
the Irrigon Grange Home Econo
mics Club. During the afternoon,
Dr, Carl Larson, Supt., of the
Umatilla Branch Experiment Sta
tion will talk on Irrigation possi
bilities In the area. John Schwin
deman, Plant Specialist, Soil
Conservation Service, Pullman,
Wash., will discuss grasses for
alkali improvement. The 1955
annual report which is being
printed will be distributed to
those present and discussed. The
election of supervisors will pro
vide filling the vanancies of Don
Kennoy and Ralph Skoubo, whose
terms expire. ,
Congratulations to Frank An
derson, 1955 Morrow County "Cat
tleman of the Year" whose com
plete story appears elsewhere In
this week's paper. 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 !
