Parents don't talk about It out loud, but many of them must feel that the system of sending every Mary, Jane, and Harry to college as a part of the caste system badge of arriving is a vicious and mean part of today's life. How much for college? It's a real problem to most parents who feel the increasing cost of college education while at the same time facing the desperate battle with the collector of all taxes, local, state and federal. How much can you af ford? You can afford only as much as Tom can bene fit, directly, from his education. You can afford to spend only that which will bring back to him a fuller life, and a lite dedicated to service in a profession or occupation.

One of our most urgent problems was to find lubricants for atomic machinery able to withstand withering radi ation.

Harold Dobyns and Elmer Wil liams of the U. S. Biological Sur vey, were visitors in Heppner Wednesday. Mrs. W. O. Dix, who has been visiting In Portland for about three weeks, returned home this morning. The Heppner-Arlington stage run for several months by Walter LaDusire, has been taken over by Allen Case who is now operat ing the service. T. W. Cutsforth and daughter, Mrs. Pointer, were calling in Mor gan Wednesday. Irving A. . Mathers and wife have been guests during the past week at the home of Mrs. Ma ther's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Mahoney. Miss. Eula McMillan and Miss, Gwendolin Evans returned from Hood River Tuesday afternoon U. S. fish and wildlife service and receives salary and expenses from these funds. The county also has an agreement with Harold Do byns for part-time predatory con trol. The state department of agriculture, last week, allocated $30,000.00 for the control of pre datory animals during the fiscal year, 1956-57. This money will be used with county appropria tions for predatore control work. The June report of these hunters gives an idea of the value of pre datory animal control funds. A total of 608 predatory animals were killed, Including 183 coyotes, 127 bobcats, 43 bears, 60 foxes, 42 badgers, 18 skunks, 58 racoons and 77 porcupines. These hunters reported stock and game losses between April 1 and June 30 of this year. Known livestock losses in Oregon during that period due to predators totalled 1,214 live stock, 732 poultry and 26 game birds and game animals. These figures are not total livestock losses due to predators, they are ones actually found by the federal-state predator hunters during their routine work. Bill Hall, superintendent of the Sherman branch experiment sta tion tells us that the station has approximately 150 bushels of Rio (Turkey) and 50 bushels of Elmar wheat for sale.

Grass at this time can easily have more than 80 water In it. A three hund red to four hundred pound heifer would have to eat about fifty to sixty pounds of grass daily to get enough dry matter. Young calves are often unable to eat enough grass to meet their needs. In some recent tests Guernsey and Jersey calves six, eight and ten months of age on irrigated pas ture only, gained only 53 nor mal. Good pasture after four months of age, plus three to four pounds of grain daily will enable these future herd replacements to make good profitable growth.

Cutsforth of Lex ington, to the effect that Cuts forth had Just harvested a field of 177 acres of Elmar wheat and that it made an average of more than 80 bushels to the acre. Mr. Cutsforth has ever been known for his integrity and I have no reason to doubt the assertion. However, that is something phenomenal for Morrow county. I have been associated with wheat production in this county for more than 50 years, and no one has ever come up with an average equal to that. Many farmers have reported 40 bus hels per acre, some 45 and a few have claimed 50, but never ou. Several vears ago, Floyd Wor den had a bull that weigneo more than 2000 lbs. Floyd said so. saw the bull, and I believed .... . im ril 3 it imolicitely. inow, ii rwyu should come up with a bull that weighed 4000 lbs. Well, I couldn't help but be surprised and also astonished. This report by Cutsforth is tremenduously important to our county and many of us individ ually. I have a wheat rancn within two miles of Cutsforth, and while my place averaged less than half that yield this year, definite proof of Cutsforth yield would have the effect to increase the value of my ranch $25.00 to i $50.00 per acre. I would suggest that a commit tee be appointed by some impar tial organization, such as the Grange, The Farm Bureau or the Chamber of Commerce, to investi gate this yield; measure the land, or get the figures from the county agent's office, check the elevators and storage bins for grain weights and ascertain Cuts forth's 1956 over-all average (It must have been exceedingly high) and then make substantial proof of the average on this specific field. This would not only stop some of the snide re- IF YOU NEED EXTRA ROOM FOR FAIR & RODEO City Center Motel Convenient downtown location, clean, cool rooms, comfortable T beds.

We owe it to ourselves to boost our county, as a wheat producing county, to where it belongs at the top. Why, Umatilla county cannot even equal this. This sounds like a story of Iowa corn. While I have been associated with wheat production in this county for more than half a century, I am like Harry Truman, not too old to learn. I would like to know what farming procedure Mr. Cutsforth followed? What kind of fertilizer he used, if any, how much per acre, and when ap plied, etc.? Sakes alive, I would be tickled to death if I could get an average yield of 50 bushels. If we had a committee to back Cutsforth up and take the heat off of him, then we could really go forward and boost our county as it deserves. I am really vital ly Interested. J. O.
