He started his combine in a field of Turkey red on Tuesday. The Work Can Go On . . . All set for this week's editorial column was a dissertation on Helis Canyon, the real meaning of tax write off, and such all ready, that is, until Tuesday's House subcommittee vote made the whofe thing entirely out of date, useless and beside the point. The committee by its vote turned thumbs down on the Democratic members' much ballyhooed, much cussed and discussed political football, the bill to build a high federally financed Hells Canyon dam. The vote, coming much more quickly than we had expected, caught us with our editorials down. It should be no secret to readers of this column that the vote coincides with our thinking, for we have contended for many month that if we were to live long enough to see power flow from a dam on the much debated stretch of the Snake river, it would be a privately-built one. Does the vote mean that the noise over Hells Canyon will now be drowned out by the clatter of jack hammers and concrete mixers going ahead on the job they have aleady started? Not if we know anything about Oregon's two equally noisy senators who have taken it upon themselves to "save Oregon from getting any power from Hells Canyon" . . . unless that power is federally pro duced. No, the shouting will undoubtedly go on, as will the construction of the two dams now started, but at least the air will be cleared for the rest of this" session of Congress.

The seed comittee was set up through the request of wheat farmers who made such recommendations the past two years at county fall meetlns of Wheat Growers Association. The recommendation was also passed down from the Oregon Wheat Growers Leaeue. The object behind the listing service was to be able to rfcfer farmers who inquire at the coun ty agent's office annually to a source of clean seed in their com munity. The seed committees in tention was to personally visit the fields so that they could vouch for the cleanness of the field. Several farmers who have listed wheat will start harvest ing this week. Harry Proudfoot, who lives on the Jarvis Springs ranch on Butter Creek, will start harvesting his Columbia this weekend. He has 100 acres of this new hard winter wheat which was released two years ago to replace turkev and turkev-tvpe wheats In the area where these are grown. Columbia offers a higher yield in these areas which are suitable for producing hich protein wheat. There should be considerable demand for this varletv from north Morrow coun ty farmers. Mr. Proudfoot must sell this wheat out of the field as he has no storage. If it is not picked up at the combine, this good source of seed will be lost. Mr. Proudfoot also has a consid erable amount of Burt, the new Rie-Rex cross which was released last fall. This too must be picked STAR THEATER HEPPNER Thurs.. Fri..
