Football-Rodeo Conflict Explained by Calendar Recently this paper ran an editorial asking why the class B Shrine RH-Star football game was set up to conflict with the first day of the Heppner rodeo. Nolan Skiff of the East Oregon answered our question for us a short time later in his "Sports Chatter" column. He pointed out that the conflict was regrettable, but that there has been no change in the previ ously scheduled date the game always comes on the last Saturday In August. The vagaries of our calendar just happens to bring the two events into conflict in two of every seven years. Labor Day weekend, which is the traditional date for the rodeo, can vary from September 1 to 7 with the result that there is bound to be an overlapping on occasion. We are forced to agree with Mr. Skiff that it is doubtful if any change can be made this year, but the trouble should be kept In mind In the future. Following is the column from the East Oregon ian with his explanation: The Heppner Gazette Times carried an editorial in a recent issue entited "A Dangerous Conflict" which criticized the setting of the class B East West Shrine benefit football game at Pendleton August 31, the last Saturday of the month, since it conflicts with the first and largest day of the Heppner rodeo. We agree it is an unfortunate situation, but the Baseball letters at Heppner high school will be issued to the following boys: Bruce Gibb,, El- ,-iasa R Shrine Pame has been rjlaved on the last mer Hake, James McNamee, Or- rm funong, noy uerury, yjiai Wright, Alex Ulrich, Gay Ander son, Earl Thomson, Lyle Cowdrey and Clarence Erwin. Mrs. Wate Crawford and sons of Ella were trading in Morgan Frl day. Saturday in August for the last several years, always one week after the class A Shrine game in Portland, and there was no change in schedule this year as the Gazette Times would have us be lieve. "We hope that the Shrine game date can be changed back to its former schedule of the week ahead of our fair, for it is impossible to change our fair date later into September it would rob local exhibitors of their change to show at the state fair which opens on Labor day," the editorial said. "If the change cannot be made, it is certain that both events will suffer materially." The Shrine game in 1952 was set Saturday, Aug. 30 the week following the class A game in Port land. The same thing happened in 1953, except the date was Saturday, Aug. 29. In 1954 it was the same, only it fell on Aug. 28. In 1955 exactly the same procedure put it on Aug. 27, and last year Morrow County Livestock Grow the same plan again was followed, putting the ers association.

The first day of September happened to fall on Saturday. It is doubtful if the Shrine date can be changed, since it Is linked up with the class A game. I wouldn't know whether the Heppner rodeo al ways will come into conflict with the Shrine class Its organization. The goal for B game or not, but I sincerely hope it won't again. ! 1957 was 100 members which we Both events are too important to this entire dis-jare sure will be reached even trict to permit them to remain in conflict. Pos-' though the year is almost half sibly something can be worked out before another gone.

This is approximately 20 more members than the association has had in any of the 10 years since year rolls around. SLANTS FROM THE SESSION By Nicky Tom I hate to admit this so publicly, but I am pooping out. All week end I have told Allen that there just would not be any column this week, but Monday morning has rolled around and my in fernal conscience is needling me. If I could be at all sure we were going to be out of here, in a week, or two at the outside, I could muster more enthusiasm, but that end of-the-session at mosphere lias not taken hold yet. Some very experienced people are of the opinion that we will be going well into June. Adjournment will undoubtedly hinge on what the Senate does with the House tax program. Most of you have probably read that Senators Musa and Sweet land are strongly opposed to the House plan. Senator Musa has stated that he will not vote for the bill with lis present rate structure. He also wants to amend the bill to remove the Fed eral tax offset and lower the exemption from $000 to $500. Republicans in the Senate have promised to supply the vote nec essary to pass the program in the Senate, but it still has a long way to go before it is out of com mittee. House Speaker Pat Dooley has announced that the House will re cess when the Joint ways and means committee completes its work, which may be at the end of this week. Ho did not explain what this meant, but rumor has it that the House may recess for a few days in an effort to pres sure the Senate into finishing its work faster. The air is alive with rumors of other sorts, such as the one about a surplus in revenue for the current blennium of over $10,000,000, rather than the $32,. 000,000 previously anticipated This, however, is wishful think ing, according to one member of the tax commission. But that is enough of rumors for now. The agriculture subcom mittee of ways and means has come up with a plan for financing the new dormitory for the use of 4-H and FFA youngsters at the state fairgrounds, The building will be erected now and paid for STAR THEATER HEPPNER Thurs..

This will be taken out of the racing fund before the state takes its cut, and will mean that for the first two years each county will lose slightly over $500 of its county fair money. As the amort ization of this fund continues, the amount each county loses will lessen. It is estimated that with the new management or peruana Meadows and the new dog rac ing plant at Gresham the racing intake will Increase to the point that the Individual counties will gain enough to offset the amount cut for the 411 building. That should make everybody happy. Something that promises to make a lot of people unhappy is House Bill 806, Introduced by the taxation committee. This bill places ad valorem property taxes on all pleasure boats, regardless of size. It also removes the over 16 feet provision from the law covering the payment of the an nual $5 license fee, as well as the $1 per foot additional fee paid for boats exceeding 20 feet in length. In other words, anybody own ing a pleasure boat of any length or type is subject to a license fee of $5 per year, whether his boat is a seven foot dingy or a 65 foot glamour yacht. Then after he has paid his license fee to the state he will pay a personal prop erty tax to the county wherein the boat is kept. The cigarette tax was called un fair because It taxed only part of the people, What does this do? House tax committee chair man Barton stated that It is a "matter of equity" that such a tax be imposed because some pleasure boats cost $40,000 and are a luxury, This bill, however, goes after County Agent News . .

Among those who are there are Mr. and Mrs. George Rugg and Mr. and Mrs. John Graves. Plan ning to attend but having to change last minute plans was Gerald Swaggert, treasurer of the fesque and intermediate wheat grass. The ranch was acquired several years ago from Fred Man- kin who had seeded part of the crop land to grass during the years in his ownership. This will make the mountain ranch a strict ly range operation and will do away with the necessity for the inconvenience of farming the land each year. Annrnvimatelv 75 acres was " r i f seeded on last year's summer fal low. The seed bed was prepared last week by spring-toothing, weeding and harrowing. The de cision to seed this land was made after seeing the excellent stands established under same soil and rainfall conditions at the Paul Webb and John Graves ranches. Seedings on these ranches are providing a lot of hay and pasture on land that was unsuited to grain production because of ero sion problems. Last week we had the opportun ity to see two excellent bulls which will be used as herd sires at the Kirk and Robinson ranch this year. Both are from the Four Daughters ranch near Ellensburg. One of these bulls was purchased while the other is being leased by I)on Robinson.

His gilt farrowed 7 nice pigs last week. The Minnesota No. 1 is strictly meat type hog developed with a cross bred foun dation of the Danish Landrance and Tamworth. The breed is long bodied and short legged; it has relatively fine but long bones, full hams, light shoulders, and a relatively straight back. All of these characteristics are import ant for the highest priced meat cuts which everyone is striving With a completion of a two- year research project at Oregon State college it has been found that beet pulp is the best pre servative to use when putting up grass silage. . Dried molasses beet pulp was compared with sodium metabisulifite and no preserva tive. The beet pulp was superior for it reduced juice losses and absorbed enough nutrients to more than pay its cost. The beet pulp preserved silage measured higher in dry matter with more palatable and digestible and beet pulp-fed cows produced more milk than cows fed sodium met abisulifite preserved silage. While we are on the suhject of farrowing hogs no mention was made of the outstanding litter farrowed by a registered paloose gilt purchased by Kenneth Peck from Washington State college last December. Kenneth's Palouse gilt farrowed 16 pigs in early April. While not all of these were saved a big litter is being raised. We thought this one of the better sized litters from a gilt we had heard of. This gilt was one of three brought into the county last December from Washington State college; Kenneth Smouse has the other two Those who might be interested in this new breed could get some good breeding stock from either of these men. Agricultral leaders in Morrow county meeting on Wednesday evening of last week made tenta tive preparations for holding a county planning conference in the winter of 1957-58. The planning meetings and conference will be patterned after those held 10 years ago. The group felt with the many changes that have oc cured in agriculture, industry, and over-all resulting problems that a look into the future with plans accordingly would be profitable. Those attending the planning meeting were the heads of the various agricultural com modity groups and those active in the 1947-48 planning confer ence along with extension organ ization heads. A meeting will be soon called to select the com mittees which will be necessary Plans are being made at the church for Vacation Bible school which will start about the first of June. There will be classes for all ages and all are invited to attend. Mr. and Mrs. C. Burnham of McMinnville, have arrived in Lexington and will make their home at the O. W. Cutsforth ranch where they will be em ployed. Mr. and Mrs. Ron Olsen of Pas co have been recent visitors at te home of her father, Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Cutsforth.
