A START ON STREETS The request recently received by the city council that one-half of a block of Heppner streets be improved (one side only of one block) may sound like a rather pe culiar request for the council to even consider, but under the circumstances it makes quite a bit of , sense. The council has hoped for some time that citizens would start a street improvement pro gram that would get a lot of the town out of the mud and dust, and one was started a year ago, but it was stopped by remonstrance almost before it got started. This time the council decided if half the peo ple in a block want good streets, they'd help them get them with the hope that others would see how nice it was and follow suit. We hope too, that the idea works. If others would only stop and realize that the cost of curbs and paving is reasonable and worth every cent of it In convenience and added value to property, there would be much more done. You don't have to pungle up the cash either, unless you wish, to have the job done, for the city will spread the payments out over 10 years. SPRING HAS SPRUNG ... as of Tuesday morn ing, but there were plenty of local citizens who beat the calendar and suffered mightily from Spring fever last Friday and Saturday. The first clays of really nice warm weather brought forth more excuses for getting out o work than Carter's got pills. We know of three or four local busi nessmen who even went so far as to personally wash the outside of their store windows last week end just to be out in the balmy weather, of course! The change of seasons brought forth a rash of spring window decorations in local stores too. Several of them are equal to those in any big city. a parking ticket on your windshield if your parking meter has run out, you will shortly find a bright orange envelope telling you that a nickel has been put in your meter to save you from a $1 fine, and asking the car owner to put a nickel in the envelope and leave at the closest store. The idea is to show shoppers that the mer chants want their business and appreciate them coming to town. All merchants have anted up a few dollars to set up a special fund which will be perpetual if shoppers show their appreciation for being saved a dollar and put a nickel in the envelope which will go back into the parking fund If the idea works, it will probably be contin ued indefinitely. If not enough nickels come back, it will mean "back to tickets" for violators. Even under the new plan, habitual violators will be checked, and may wind up with a ticket instead of an orange envelope that will cost him just a nickel. ARE WE HONEST PEOPLE? The chamber of commerce within a few days will start its new parking program in Heppner. Instead of finding A GOOD START We understand there is get ting to be a lot of genuine interest at Lexington in the formation of a good, active fire depart ment and we're glad to see it Recently a new fire hall was built and a modern fire truck was bought, which was a good start. Then it was dis covered that a truck without equipment or men without training still left much to be desired, so a active volunteer department is being organ ized. Arrangements are being made to get more hose and equipment and a member of the Hepp ner FD, Alex Thompson, who has attended the state firemen's training school, is aiding the boys at Lex with their drills and practice. We congratulate the Lex volunteers for their efforts and we'll bet that within a year or two the people there will be rewarded by finding their fire insurance rates reduced. We hope that continued efforts along that line here can bring about the same results in Heppner in the not-too-distant future. Rural residents could have reduced fire in surance rates too, if they would try to organize a rural fire protection district. It's worth look ing into. THIRTY YEARS AGO From Files of the Gazette Times March 25, 1926 Many of Heppner's prominent citizens will be seen outfitted In golf attire, with a bag of clubs slung over their shoulders, if the plans of the Heppner Luncheon club made at their meeting on Monday noon, materialize. Miss Ona Gilliam, graduate nurse, was assisting mis weeK at the Morrow General hospital. Alva Jones departed for Port land Monday, expecting to be absent from home for some time. Frank Engleman, merchant of lone, was a visitor in Heppner on Friday. Wilma Leach of Lexington was elected president of the Women's Athletic association Thursday at Oregon Agricultural College. Among the. main speakers at the Grange meeting in Heppner Friday, April 2, will be Hon. Walter M. Pierce, governor of Oregon. From The County Agent's Office By N. C Anderson An important meeting of live stock men was to be held Tues day evening when a handful of livestock growers met to discuss problems of their industry. Dur ig the evening resolutions were drafted to go to the state con vention of the Oregon Livestock Growers Association and com mittee reports heard. Garland Meador, president, and Ed Soles, secretary, Oregon Cattleman's Association were present to dis cuss activities of the state group. Of particular interest to our live stock men was the discussion of the "Oklahoma Plan" for control ling beef productipn which the state association is attempting to have considered in farm legisla tion this year. The plan is one to control expected record sup plies of beef coming to market this year. It would provide in centive payments to producers who sold their heifer calves for slaughter at around four-hundred pound weights. Morrow county livestock men favored legislation of this kind, reminding the state association officials that our group had tried to encourage this type of a program several years ago. DOUBLE REGISTERED Polled Hereford BULLS SERVICE AGE CLAYTON WRIGHT 1 Mile Up Rhea Creek From Ruggs Ph. 6-5337 411 agricultural club members, leaders and a number of parents had an interesting day last Fri day when they toured the Walla Walla Meat and Cold Storage fa cilities at Walla Walla. Club members had the opportunity to see ice making and the storage facilities and to watch the com plete slaughtering and packing operations, including hide stor age, tankage making, sausage ham, lunch meat making, includ ing grinding, smoking and other processing. Attending the tour were members of the Rhea Creek Livestock club, Heppner Hoof and Horn Livestock club, Lexing ton Livestock club and the But tercreek Junction 4-H club. The entire membership of the Butter Creek Junction, Lexington and Hoof and Horn Livestock clubs were able to attend. During the past two weeks the majority of the 4-H beef calves on feed were weighed to deter mine daily rate of gains for the past sixty to seventy-five days. Twenty-five of the thirty-six calves on feed weighed, showed gains from .39 pounds per day to 2.57. Calves being fed by Carole Ann and Jije Palmer of the Lex ington Livestock club had the best daily gains with a 2.57 and a 2.35 gain. The approximate average daily gain for all calves weighed was 1.7 pounds. A few calves are left to be weighed within the next week.

Ill m A number of farmers have, during the past week, asked ques. tions concerning application of nitrogen to fall seeded grains and for spring seeded crops. In most cases, amonium nitrate or amonium sulphate are being broadcast on fall seedings. Many have asked questions about the application of anhydrous and aqua ammonia before seeding spring crops. Trials at the Pen dleton experiment station show that there is no difference in the yields between sixteen and twenty-two inch shank spacing. Highest yields with aqua were with the three-inch depth of ap plication, while somewhat deep er applications with anhydrous proved most profitable. o Warehouse Check Shows Violations Warehouse inspectors for the state department of agriculture are finding that some concerns handling public grain are not applying for state license, as re quired by law, J. F. Short, di rector of agriculture, said today. In fact, a number of features of the new warehouse licensing and inspection act seem to be misunderstood by individuals and concerns storing grains, he said. With this in mind, Short called attention to the thief: points on which most violations have been found so far. They are: 1. Anyone who receives grain including dry peas and beans, for public storage, handling or shipping is required to have a state license. This is issued by the department under authority of the state warehouse act. 2. Licensed warehouses issu ing warehouse receipts for grains, peas, and beans must obtain these warehouse receipts from the department's division of grain inspection 1517 N. W. Hoyt Street, Portland. 3. Under the law, it is unlaw ful for any warehouse to issue or have printed its own receipts for grains, peas or beans. Private receipts may be used for various other agricultural commodities, such as seeds or hay, which a warehouse or elevator stores. Short said also warehouse licenses should be displayed in a conspicious place, rather than placed in files. Warehouse num bers should also be painted on the building for full compliance with the law, He said a team of three ware house inspectors is still engaged in the first round of inspections including the measuring of grains on hands under the 1955 law. Inspections during Febru ary showed one or more viola tions for each four plants inspec ted. o - IONE NEWS Mrs. Verner Troedson enter tained the following at bridge Friday afternoon March 16 at her home: Mesdames.E.
