C At the recent annual meeting of the Oregon Wheat Growers League numerous reports were made on the current wheat sup ply and outlook. All during the meeting it was evident that the wheat promotion program which the Wheat League had vigorous ly entered Into over the past few years was resulting in a great number of export contracts. Pub lic Law 480 provided the means for the foreign program for more use of wheat to pay off. During the week ending December 14th export sales confirmed for that week totalled near 200,000 tons of wheat. Meanwhile the Com modity Credit Corporation contin ued to unload wheat from reserve fleet storage ships mainly as pay ment In-kind subsidy on export wheat. Twenty seven vessels had been emptied so far at that time. For the week ending December 21 India purchased 50,000 tons of white wheat and Japan bought 40,000 tons of white and 4600 4G00 tons of hard winter. Paki- TO THE EDITOR . . . To the Editor: I was very much interested in your article in the December 6th issue of the Gazette Times, telling about the old ledger book found in the attic of the Eric Bergstrom home. There should be a few Morrow county folks still living that would remember the names mentioned in the old book, such as Gene Noble. I am going to try for my own benefit, to remember the people that might still be living that would know about this. Some of those early day people mentioned, I personally knew when I was a lot younger than I am now. Then along came the Gazette, issue of December 13, telling about Mrs. Addle Con lee Binns whose name was listed on the bullot. Mrs. Binns is my only living teacher and I have just written her a letter remind ing her of that. There are several people still living in Heppner and other places that went to school with Mrs. Binns as their teacher and my schoolmates. I am posi tive that Ralph Thompson, Len Gilliam and possibly Ona Gill iam were among those In my class or room at that time. I won der if Sadie and Nina (Snyder) Garrigues weren't there too? I would be very grateful and happy to hear from any of my school mates that went to school to Miss Addle Conlee (Binns). I received a long letter yesterday from a former Heppner schoolmate, Paul V. Maris, who now lives in Ar lington, Virginia. He said he was going to try to come out to Ore gon next year and said he would drop off at Castle Rock to stay a few days with me, to talk over old times. Paul's brother, Dr. Ralph Maris lives in Portland. My manuscript of the history of Morrow county and the cities and the people is at the publish ers now, and I hope when it is finally published that most of the good people of my native county and town will like my effort of recording some of the early day stories of our wonderful pioneers of Morrow county.

ROBERT PENLAHD Kditor nd PublWMr HITCIIEN PEHLAND AMoctat Publihr Andataoa stan, India Korea and Tunis were in the market as the week closed. During this same week wheat prices at Portland ranged from 1 to 4 cents higher than the week before. These recent happenings clear ly indicate that the money spent by the Oregon Wheat Commission and Oregon Wheat Growers Lea gue to develop the demands from foreign countries have been pay ing off lately. Over the past several years farm sheep flocks have become quite popular with Morrow county far mers and ranchers until there are a great number of them throughout the county. Since some are getting started with this enterprise some management suggestions are pertinent at this time. Since most of these farm flocks are confined to smaller areas, on Irrigated pastures, many pro bably need a drench to reduce the load of Internal parasites. A two ounce phenothiazine drench per ewe will keep the ewes in bet ter condition through the winter months. Do not drench with phe nothiazine if the ewes are to start lambing within the next four weeks. Ewes coming in from summer pastures are often very dirty behind, and the manure and urine stained wool shuld be re moved. Tagging of the ' ewes makes for a more sanitary birth, offers the lamb a better chance for nursing and makes it easier to observe the udders on ewes making bag. Care should be taken to handle the ewes as gent ly as possible during tagging and not allow any rough treatment that could cause an abortion. It is during the latter part of preg nancy that proper feeding is very essential as the unborn lamb makes a larger percentage of its growth. It is not uncommon for a lamb to gain 3 pounds or more the last four weeks of pregnancy. With this rapid increase in size of the unborn lamb, the capacity of the ewe to consume large amounts of roughage Is decreas ed. This means that it Is neces sary to increase the feeding of concentrates during this period of pregnancy. Feeding only rough age at this critical time very often will cause the ewe to develop pregnancy disease or twin lamb paralysis. This disease occurs about one to two weeks before lambing, when ewes are on a poor ration and carrying twins or trip, lets. The best prevention is to feed an adequate ration consist ing of some concentrate plus same good quality hay, silage or pasture. The feeding of grain should be started 4 to 6 weeks before lambing and gradually In creased until each ewe is receiv ing 34 to 1 pound of concen trate per day. The concentrate may be barley, oats, corn, wheat and peas or a combination of those mentioned. Many opera tors feed molasses during this critical 4 to 6 weeks period and it is to be recommended if at all possible. If molasses is fed free choice, the grain can be held to M to 24 lbs. per ewe per day. Make sure the ewes are not losing in flesh and do not make a sharp change in ration of the ewes during the last 4 weeks of preg- makt Ltava dajr or en the CITY OF CM or wrim UNION PACIFIC Lwnl AkpiU or J.
