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.

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-
