ODD ENDS....
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.

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.

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.

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.
