A recent letter from the Tilla mook county Dairy Herd Improve ment Association reminded us that Tillamook dairy heifer cal ves are again available. During the past several years many Mor row county farmers have depend ed on this source for high pro ducing heifers as replacements for the family milk cow or the dairy herd. Farmers have found that it has been much to their advantage to pool orders and go directly to Tillamook to pick up these dairy calves thereby bring lng them directly home arriving in much better shape than when shipped here. We have orders for 3 dairy heifers now and are hold ing them trying to assemble enough to make it worth while to send down a pick-up for them Anyone who might be interested in these heifers should let us know in order that we might pool their order. A plea was made this week from Oregon State Game Com mission, Grant county cattlemen and Oregon State College, exten sion wild life management spe cialist, for more deer hunters to apply for special tags for the har vest of deer in the special areas STAR THEATER HEPPNER Thurs., Fri., Sot- Not. 22-23-24 MOHAWK With Scott Brady, Rita Gam, Neville Brand plus He Laughed Last Frankie Lalne, Lucy Marlow, Anthony Dexter Sun., Mon., Nov. 25-26 The Proud and Profane With William Holden.

As of right now there haven't been enough hunters applying for the allotted permits. The deer are there to be harvested. Predictions are that a deep winter snow will kill lots more of them than are now nor mally starving to death.. A rancher committee of the northside John Day River Range Improvement group has pledged their cooperation with the Ore gon btate (jame commission, They are going to set up a hunt er's information booth in Day ville. The ranchers plan to sup ply the information on best places to hunt, accommodation possibilities, and points of truck departures. Some of the ranch ers are offering to give the hunt ers rides over the muddy roads into the hills so that they can get among the deer. This area is a critical winter deer range. A committee of ranchers are now trying to grow more forage on this piece of range. After joint agreements by cattlemen and the game commission officials it was decided it was good deer manage ment and aided range manage ment to try and reduce the total number of deer using the winter and spring range. The Morrow-Umatilla live stock growers association joint feeder calf sale held on Novem ber 15 evidently was a success. Visiting with a number of the consigners from Morrow county, they seem to be satisfied with prices received. Consigned from here were 192 steers and 99 hei fers. Steers brought a high of $18.50 and a low of $12. Heifers were quite conslstant in price with a high of 14.90 and a low of 13.50. Marion Finch, Butter Creek rancher sold the highest priced steers and heifers. The over-all average for the sale was $17.06 for steers and $14.44 for heifers for Morrow county consignments. Figuring the average of steers both weaner calves and yearlings were used. Almost one-half of the steers consigned were year- ings which naturally sold for less than the weaners. o TO THE EDITOR . To the Editor: I have read your item, "How Things Have Changed," and as you have indicated a desire to learn why, I will endeavor to tell you why the change. The recent report of the Morrow County Grain Growers show the organization to be among the largest taxpayers in the county as well as being voters and pay ers of larger personal tax. We heard secretary Benson de liver a lengthy address before the National Association of Wheat Growers in Portland Feb. 1, 2. 3, 1956. The secretary had just in formed the growers of grass seed and seeding forest trees that they had a large surplus and must re duce production. The secretary make travel a family affair, leave Monday, Tuesday, Wednes day or Thunday. EBTO CHICAGO Agt. JATIONAl EDITORIAL rbliJIIMIg'H'IH Oregon, as Second Class Matter $4.00 Year. Single Copy 10 Cent. County OEA Meet Held at Boardman ; By Mary Lee Marlow About 45 attended the O. E. A. dinner and meeting at the school Tuesday night. The dinner was prepared by the P-TA. Mrs. Nate Macomber was chairman, assist ed by Mrs. Harold Kress, Mrs. My. ron Watts, Mrs. Leo Potts, Mrs. William Garner, Mrs. Ralph Skoubo and Mrs. Ray Gronquist. Mrs. Harold Baker and Mrs. Roy Partlowwere in charge of deco rations. Following the dinner a film was shown on seeding the clouds for rain. There were as sociation members present from went on to tell us that we had millions of tons of wheat, corn, cotton and rice in storage and must cut our acreage of said crops and that the soil bank would solve the problem. The next thing I read was that Presi dent Eisenhower and secretary Benson had gone into the corn states and told the farmers that they could plant every available acre to corn. They did so and pro duced a record crop. From my reading the rules of the Soil Bank deal is that we shall not graze any of the di verted acres as that would work against stock raisers. I can point out Morrow county farms which have produced wheat and live stock for the past 80 years, yet we could not turn a milk cow or a few bummer lambs to graze on said fields. Some Morrow county farmers keep several hundred head of cattle but they could not pasture them on soil bank acres. We are spending many billions in sending our ambassadors, at taches and aids to 77 foreign countries to teach our neighbors how to conduct free elections and what their politics should be. Oregon has a few misguided poli ticians who oppose free elections as is shown by a bill which was presented to the 47th legislative assembly regular session as sen ate bill No. 273. Introduced by Senator Hounsell Feb. 13, 1953 it bears thenames of 30 Republi cans and two Demos. The object of said bill No. 273 was to have denied Senator Morse the right to get his name on the Oregon bal lot. I think that and the fact that Doug McKay and Ellsworth were given a lot of press news over the Al Sarena timber deal caused a lot of voters to use their own judgment when voting in the re cent election. I find that a num ber of men who supported Bill No. 273 were left out in 1954 and from what few upstate papers I see, I find that 12 os said Re publicans were among the also rans in last week's election. We wheat growers and stock men may be classed as renagade Republicans but we are not so dumb that we will not vote as we think best. Bert Mason, Portland, Ore.
