A rep resentative of the state ASC com mittee will also be present for an educational meeting scheduled for Monday evening February 25 at the Lexington Grange hall. The meeting will begin at 8 p. m. and the evening will be spent in ex plaining the various aspects of the conservation reserve program. Recently the conservation reserve sign-up has been postponed until April 15. A few of the- poten tial participants of the conser vation reserve program might be found during the educational meeting are owners of soil capa bility class four and six; part time farmers who have only small soil bank basis; elderly farmers on social security still want to live on their farms but to whom a five or ten year rental would be helpful; and heirs who have been cash renting, when we brought home two lambs grafting them on a ewe who had lost her lamb the night before. The ewe accepted the lambs within a very few minutes. From time to time farmer" OVERTOILED LEGISLATORS From where it should happen you don't see it happen.

THIRTY YEARS AGO From Jlles of the Gazette Times February 24, 1927 Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Olson de parted on Sunday for their new home at Baker, where Mr. Olson will be in charge of the Union Oil company station. The Sherman Electric com pany was granted a franchise to operate their service in the city of Heppner at the special coun cil meeting Monday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Noah Clark of Eight Mile were visitors in the city yesterday. ,J. O. Turner and Raymond Fer guson are farmers of this section driving new Pontiacs. Lawrence Palmer, prominent farmer of the Lexington section, was attending to business affairs far? in this city on Saturday. SLANTS FROM THE SESSION By Mrs. C. A. Tom The session is now thirty-three days old. The main question now to be put is how many days lie ahead? Farmers in the legis lature traditionally joke about being afraid they won't get home in time to harvest, but this time some of us are becoming a little nervous. A number of secretaries, in cluding mvself, have noticed something out of the ordinary. By this time in previous sessions we would have quite a tidy stack of bills to amend each morning. It is a tedious job, but it does give one a feeling that progress is being made. What are we to gather from the tiny trickle of amendments coming out of the committees so Either that the committees Last week the agent assisted Harold Wright to implant 140 steers, now on feed, with Stil bestol. Thirty six miligrams were used in an ear Implant. Stilbestrol Implants have in con trolled tests added as much as a 257o Increase in gain with ap proximately 57c Increase in daily feed consumption. Stilbestrol Implants have given these in creased gains over a period of approximately 150 days. Harold plans to market his steers around July 1. They will be pushed as i ..l i . 1 1 rapiuiy as possiuie to ten or twelve pounds of grain per day witli all of the legume hay they win eat after the grain is cleaned up.

Be holding steady markets firmed as Veteran Senators Howard Bel ton (R), Canby, and Rudie Wil helm (R), Portland, are fashion ing a bill to create a 31st sena torial district. "With 31 senators, how can you have a deadlock?" they ask. Senate President Boyd Over- hulse is arguing with himself over voting "No" on the measure if the senate vote is a tie. "Think how many times", he argued aloud, "a tie vote in the senate could put the chair on the hook." HIKE COLLEGE GRADES After a year long study, aided by executives of Oregon schools, the State Board of Higher Educa tion has approved selective ad mission to state supported col leges and universities.

It was interesting to find that grafting of lambs has not been a big problem with Krebs this year. Henry told me that they had not had to skin but a couple of lambs to get ewes to accept the graft. The simple method they are using is a smear kero sene on the ewes nose destroying her ability to detect the scent of a grafted lamb.

NO MORE SENATE TIEUPS The 30 senators who were evenly paired for election of a senate president for the first two weeks of the current session have not forgotten the strain of those long days and nights of intrigue and plenary fixes. They don't want it to happen again and are going to do something about it. complete a regular collegiate summer session, carrying a full load of work with a "C" or 2.00 average. If a high school gradu ate fails to obtain more than 60 per cent in the aptitude test, he may be allowed to take it again the next year. Admission restrictions on out of-state applicants have been in use since 1955. Expectation of double enroll ment within the next ten years and the resentment of the public to higher educational costs are reasons which have forced the selective admission policies. PREFERS OLD tyOTTO Legislators are getting letters from history classes and pioneers protesting the "too hasty" adop ting of "The Union" as Oregon's motto.

This I can hardly believe. Your guess is as good as mine. We draw little comfort from Governor Holmes' remark of two days ago that it would be two or three weeks yet before he would be ready to make any statement concerning his budget. We hate to rush our chief exe cutive but November 6 was three months ago. Wednesday saw most of the action in the House for the week. House Bill 123, relating to labor conciliation boards, passed with only two dissenting votes. House Bill 124 repeals what is called by some the "right to work" law and by others the "anti-picketing" law. Although the strongest teeth had some time back been pulled from this law by a Supreme Court ruling It still proved a topic for debate. The final vote was forty-five in favor of the repeal,- twelve against. The hottest issue of the week proved to be HB 193 which would have required any state official authorized to pay salaries to state employes to withhold union dues from the salary upon writ- ten request of the employe. I nis measure generated a great deal of emotion and consequent oratory. The bill failed by a vote of 18 to 39 with no evidence of party-line division. Of interest to farmers will be HB 136, passed by the House on Wednesday. This one allows farmers to deduct expenses in curred in soil or water conserva tion operations, or those of ero sion control. Under existing law such expenses are considered ad ditions to capital structure. Our visitors list was longer this week.
