Single Copy 10 cents. An Answer Will Come President Eisenhower early this week faced up to one of the most important decisions he has yet had to make the acceptance or rejection of the farm bill. He rejected the answer that Congress had given because he felt that the bill given to him didn't answer anything. He was in one of those situations where, "he was damned if he did and damned if the didn't." In this country the farm problem is of course uppermost in the minds of most, and from what we can determine, many farmers, though they don't like the way things are going, seem to feel that probably a veto was for the best. The bill didn't solve any problems. Some indicate that "all is lost'' for this year, but we can't quite go along with that feeling for we think the President, in his Monday night talk on radio and television, handed the problem right back to Congress, where it belongs, and along with it, gave them the sug gestion of a solution. Ike had previously asked for the Soil Bank idea and Congress approved it in the recent bill, only they cluttered it up so badly with other ideas that it would have been entirely ineffective. In his talk he asked for it again with the addi tional provision that it be made partially effective on this year's crop by giving farmers one-half of the soil bank benefits if they sign up for the program. The idea is in keeping with the admin, istration's overall program and in addition offers help for the current crop year something the Congress-passed bill did not do. Whether the soil bank is the ultimate answer to the farm problem, we certainly cannot say, yet it approaches the question from a logical angle and is the best long-range idea yet developed by either republicans or Democrats. The ball has been tossed back 'to Congress and we look for it to come up with some acceptable bill either during the remainder of the present session or if necessary, at a special session later in the year. However it may come, we think some ans wer to the farm problem will be found. It is our number one problem within the country and it can't be ignored for another year. From The County Agent's Office By N. C Anderson The Squaw Butte-Harney ex periment station near Burns has just announced that they have a position open for herdsman. The herdsman would have the res ponsibility of the care annd man. agement of the cattle herd and the keeping of livestock records on all animals not involved in detailed specific experiments. He would also assist the research staff in care and record keeping on detailed experiments. They wish a man with either no family or a small family of pre-school age. Anyone interested should contact superintendent, VV. E. Sawyer at the experiment station.. Kenneth reck, Lexington far mer, has just farrowed out three sows in farrowing crates using the plans developed by Oregon State College. Kenneth says that the crates work well and cut down a big portion of the risk of sows laying on little pigs. He thinks that it is necessary to be with them at farrowing time though, even with the use of far rowing crates. Kenneth Smouse, lone, has used the farrowing crates for three or four years and is very well pleased with the re sults at farrowing time. Several farmers have, in the past week, applied Dalapon to small acreages of stubble in ex perimenting with chemical sum mer fallow. Rates of application vary but the common rate is five pounds per acre. A quart of 3.34 pound material 2,4-1) is be ing added to the Dalapon for broadleaf weed control. In an effect to get information addi tional to the effect on cheatgrass, volunteer grain, and broadleaf control, experiments were set up this week at the Gar Swanson and Kenneth Peck ranches to sample soil moisture and nitro gen content of the sprayed stub ble, compared to that worked in the regular summer fallow method. Soil moisture samples were taken soon after plowing and the application of the chemi cal, and will bo followed up with sampling during the year. Ni trogen content of the two types of summer fallow will be deter mined before seeding time. De tails are being worked out now in cooperation with Farm Chemi cals, Athena, and Inland Chemi cal of Heppner in an experiment using various rates of Dalapon applied with various volumes of water. Kenneth and L. A. Palmer re cently sold their yearling steers which were fed on barley and al falfa hay this past winter. The barley and hay fed, was raised on the farm and Kenneth be lieves was marketed to very good advantage through the steers. The steers averaged 745 pounds the day they were sold. The calves were taken to the sales yard a couple of days before be ing sold and the selling weight, Compared to that when delivered, was approximately a 25 pound shrink. The steers made at least a 250 pound gain from weaning time. The steers were fed ap proximately 125 days. They were fed no more than seven pounds of barley per day at their peak consumption and about ten pounds of hay. High market price of $18.10 per hundred, low $17.20. A recent announcement was to the effect that there will be no 411 sale at the Pacific Interna tional Livestock Exposition at Portland in 195(5. The 4-H and FFA livestock will be sold in the stockyard through a sales pro gram worked out with the com mission firms of the North Port land yards. It is believed that the educational experience for the young people in this type of marketing will be greatly im proved over the previous sales method. An interesting and educational two days were spent last week at the North Portland Stockyards and Swift and Company plant. During the two days Eastern Ore gon agents had the opportunity to grade live animals (cows, heifers, steers, lambs, swine) and to follow these through to the packing plant to compare live animal grades with process grades of USDA meat inspectors. College veterinarians, E. M. Dick enson, Herb Muth and Paul H. Allen discussed livestock di seases and parasites in a round table discussion during the after noon. One-half day was spent with representatives of the state department of agriculture in dis cussing the meat inspection pro gram brand inspection, testing and care of scales and brucellosis control work. Three dairy heifer calves from the Tillamook Dairy Herd Im provement Association were re ceived this week by Kenneth Pal mer, Lexington, and by John and Nancy Cleveland. Two of the calves were Guernseys, one Hoi stein. They are from excellent producing cows and were select ed from heifers kept by Tilla mook dairymen as replacement stock. These should add to the other good producing Tillamook cows and heifers in Morrow county. The 4-H Clubs 0f lone have invited 4-H members ami their parents from other communities in the county to their 4-H Club Sunday services at the Commun ity church in lone on April 22. 4-H Club Sunday has been obser ved in the Community church in lone for several years and has won itself quite a recognition throughout Oregon. 4-H Club members plan and present the church services on this Sunday. A livestock tour and judging contest held last Sunday after noon amongst members of the Buttercreek Junction Livestock club was an outstanding event. Approximately thirty-five club members and parents took part in the tour. The judging contest was held at the William J. Do herty ranch, using fat steers being fed as projects by Bernard and Billy Doherty. Control of grubs was discussed at the Dan Blewett ranch with Jack Lieual len's two fat steers. Also visiting during the day were sheep, swine and beef projects carried by Gene, Larry, and Robert Camp bell, sheep projects carried by Phyllis Nelson and Billie Gott schalk and beef projects carried by Sandra and Carlene Rhea. o ' Printing la Our Business I Sea Us For Your Next Printing Needsl THIRTY YEARS AGO From Files of the Gazette Times April 22, 1926 Heppner may have night train service in the near future in place of the present day service, if action now being taken by the Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation company results favorably.
