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

and Oregon State College, exten

deer season with 1500 permits al
loted in each section. 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.

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.
