Single Copy 10 Cents, ODD ENDS- We're not figuring on making a celebration out of the event, but with this Issue the Gazette Times starts Us 74th year of publication. We may bo open to argument, but we are pretty certain the birthday assures us of being the oldest con tinually operated business In Heppner. Our predecessors In this enterprise started out as the Heppner Gazette and the first issue came out on March 30 1883. A newspaper carrying that name, or a combination with it, has come out every week since. The discrepancy in dates comes from ths fact that a newspaper numbers Its ad ditions from one to 52 each year, then starts over. The extra leap-year days over that period have gotten us to a point where we celebrate our birth day two wepks early. Just out of curiosity we dug out our Oregon Blue Book and discovered that the Heppner Ga zette Times is the 17th oldest newspaper in Ore gon (both daily and weekly) and is the 9th old est weekly in continuous publication. The oldest paper In the state is The Oregonian which started in 1850. followed closely by the Salem Statesman the following year, the oldest weekly is our next-door neighbor-almost, the Blue Mountain Eagle at John Day which came into being in 1868. We've been around quite a while (the paper we mean), anyway, and we try not to let our age show but if on occasion we let a story with whiskers slip in now you'll know why. Leave il to Oregon. Now we even have a pis tol-packing Congressman in Washington. Noticed where a Portland raido station ran a poll on whether their listeners thought their city's mayor was guilty or not guilty of taking a bribe of which he has been accused by testimony in the Washington hearings. Looks to us as though that's a matter for a court to decide not radio listeners, or newspaper readers, either, for that matter, even if the gentleman is somewhat al lergic to lie detectors. Celilo Falls on the Columbia are no more. Fu ture generations will never know the difference, but that beauty spot on the great river won't quite be the same to a lot of us around today. From The County Agent's Office By N. C Anderson Dr. A. G. Beagle, veterinarian 7,199 cows in charge, of the U. S. bureau of animal industry called at the of fice on Tuesday of this week. An interesting discussion was held with Dr. Beagle concerning pro gress of testing for Brucellosis In Eastern Oregon counties. Dr. Beagle pointed out that Morrow county has, even though they have been declared certified modified Brucellosis free area tested 7,246 cattle for Brucellosis in the calendar year 1956. These were tested in 133 herds. This is one of the largest number of cattle tested in one year since the Brocellosis testing program got under way. Of the 133 herds tested, 18 herds contained reactor cows with 127 reactors there be ing 1.3 per cent reactors in all cattle tested. Dr. Beagle pointed out that one way to cut down on the percent age of reactors in a herd would be through an accelerated calf vaccination program here. He pointed out that only 40 herds containing 665 heifers were vac cinated. To illustrate his point he sighted an example of a herd In Lake county recently tested. The herd contained cattle with al replacements having been calfhood vaccinated in the past 12 years. The herd contained and none -had been tested before this winter. When tested recently the herd was found to contain no reactors, In Baker county it is estimated that 95 of the heifer calf replace ments are vaccinated. In the testing program being carried out there it was found that only ..8 of 1 of the cattle tested were reactors. Also Dr. Beagle pointed out that buyers are demanding vaccinated heifers and with the new federal shipment regula tions on heifer calves can move out and across state lines unless they are vaccinated or tested. It would appear that with this new regulation that went into af feet January 1 that most of our livestock men will want to vac cinate heifer calves at weaning time. He also pointed out that the bureau of animal industry has facts and figures that indi cate that a better price has been received for vaccinated heifers over those unvaccinated. Dr. Beagle called our attention the need for more livestock men testing for tuberculosis between now and April 1. We need a test on approximately 700 head by April 1 in order to continue to hold our tuberculosis free sta tus. The practice of testing a percentage of the herd for TB at the time of Bangs testing has been carried out In the past years. Recertification is neces sary evey three years. During our visit Dr Beagle also pointed out that since thousands of dollars had been spent in test ing cattle in Morrow county to obtain the Brucellosis free sta tus that it was very important that livestock men understand that cattle being moved into the county unless originating from a certified herd must be tested first. Even though this test is 4 '' ' Tony Yturri, Ontario we came back with "We, We, We do too, We Want Money, Too!"

We hope that Mor row county livestock growers will keep in mind the job that it was to complete our Brucellosis test ing and remind their neighbors of this requirement. Earlier this year we discour aged several farmers from plant ing shelter belts due to a short age of forestry tree seedlings of many species. During the last week we have found that there are additional tree seedlings available from neighboring state nurseries where now complete windbreaks can be planned. With the late spring and continued moisture conditions are ideal for planting trees. Those who might he interested in securing trees for windbreak plantings should con tact this office soon so trees can be ordered before it is too late.
