Single Copy 10 cent.. From The County Agent's Office By N. C Anderson Donald Peterson, eightmile At present the CCC has a bin type rancher, this week planted a new five row windbreak to protect his new farmstead which he is laying out. The planting of six hundred foot rows of Caragana, Black Locust, Russian olive, and Australian Pine will protect the farmstead from south and west winds. Rows were spaced twelve feet with Pines, Locust and Rus sian olive spaced twelve feet within the row. Caragana a low growing bushy type shrub, which stops ground winds, was planted one foot apart to make a dense windbreak. Here is something new that we have recently read of. It is called a Herbagere or the Pasture in the Barn. It is a miracle plant growing machine which adver tise from seed to feed in six days. Pamphlets claim that it will grow approximately one-hundred and forty tons of top green feed on an eight square yard sur face yearly. It grows corn, oats, wheat, barley any time of the year. Machines are working at Tillamook and Salem. Maybe the seeding we discussed earlier in the column will be out-dated before they are established with a machine like this. Last Friday's "Cull Cow" sale sponsored by the Umatilla County Cattleman's Association, with proceeds to go to the Oregon Cattleman's Association brought in $1100. This money is to be used by the Oregon Cattleman's Association to assist with pro jects in an attempt to bolster falling cattle prices. At least one Morrow County rancher con tributed to the sale. Walter Wright, Heppner was listed as one of the consigners of "slightly used" cows. The CCC Is again faced with a bin storage for storing grains. SOMETHING NEW?

The March, 1956 Agriculture Bulletin, published by the Ore gon State Department of Agricul ture pave Morrow County quite a write-up entitled, "Oregon Bangs Proeram Jumps a Mountain Range".

Augmented with the orange and labor organizations the Democrats are battling against a sales tax and for a lieutenant governor elected directly by the people. They claim that in states having a lieutenant governor me government is kept nearer the will of the people than when a senate president succeeds to a vacancy in the office of governor. Can it be that this is what is irking the Democrats? No Demo crat senate president has ever become governor. Four Repub licans have: Governors Bower man, Norblad, Patterson and Smith. The Bourbons should nonder. There has been no Democratic president of the sen ate since 1878, Saturdav at the Capitol the legislative interim tax commit tee voted in favor of a sales tax 9-2. There are nine Republicans and two Democrats on the com mittee. The two Democrats voted npalnst a sales tax. That pro bably will be the way they will report to the 1957 legislature. REDO STATE BUILDING The State Board of Control has a low bid of $111,828 to remodel tho state agricultural building east of the Capitol. The high bid was $124,703. The low bid is more than three times the original cost of the building built in 1927. The com parison of costs is no more amazing than a comparison of si7e and growth of the state de partments which have occupied it or now do. When first occupied and for many years it was known as the State Printing Office. I his de partment occupied the main floor and half of the large base ment. The other half housed the testing department of the State Hichwav Department where test ing and busting concrete blocks was normal procedure. That got on the printer's nerves and con crete dust got in their eyes. Bus ters moved out and printers in. What then was the entire Mo tor Vehicle Department was in one-half of the "upstairs" noor. All there was of the Agricultural Department then was housed on the other half of the same floor.
