Keep Your Eye on Morrow County Last Monday the Oregonian made editorial comment about our last week's story of two Forest Service men who watched, and then described to us, a Flying Hat sail over them while they were working in the mountains southeast of Heppner. That paper's editorial writer said that he was heartened to hear that flying saucers were com ing back after a considerable period during which there has been a decided scarcity of these un explainable flying machines. The Oregonian said, under the heading, "Now Flying Hats": "Reports of flying saucers have been so scarce lately that one had almost come to the conclusion that the Martians or Venusians or whoever they are, had given us up as impossible creatures. It is heartening to read that this is not so, that apparently they merely have been getting a new model into production. "The saucer which two Forest Service employ es saw skimming over the Blue mountains the other day traveled at the customary "terrific" speed. Its sound in flight, like that of a jet plane, was not unusual either, although the sound it made as it shot out of sight had never before been so closely observed. This sound, said the observ ers, was a kind of "blip", like that made by a .22 bullet when it hits water. "Design of the latest saucer, however, is what is newsworthy. It was hat-shaped, or, one might say, like a saucer complete with cup. Headroom in a flying saucer must be cramped, even for little men. A cabin on top is a logical refinement for continued, long cruises to Earth." This newspaper goes along with its big-city neighbor's views that there has been a scarcity of saucers, or whatever they might be called, but we can't take quite as dim a view of the gadgets as does The Oregonian. We must admit, however, that we can't offer any better explanation lor them than The Oregonian can . . . but just wait, and keep your eye on Morrow county. This year our county has come up with sev eral "firsts" that were mighty newsworthy and the year isn't over yet. We fell heir to the first genuine tornado seen (and photographed) In Oregon in many a year. We also had some hail that was bigger than even our neighboring Uma tilla county could brag about . . . and there have been others where else but in our county has Bonneville Power Administration ever lost 15 steel towers to a thunderstorm? Now, some of our citizens sight and unidentified flying object which Is the first such machine seen this year in Oregon. Yes, great things happen in Morrow county, so it will be well if other editors keep their eyes open to what may be coming in the future. As to the new model flying saucer, we haven't yet been fortunate enough to see one, but we wouldn't be surprised if before the year is out that one of them will land on the hill behind our Pioneer Memorial hospital so that one of its oc cupants can be treated there for seasickness or whatever other minor ailments a member of its crew might have. Not only woulld it be doggone good advertising for our hospital but it would also prove our oft-repeated statement that the reputation of Morrow county is spread far and wide And besides, that would be a real handy place to get a good look at whatever it may prove to be. We expect to get a couple of pictures too, and we might even send The Oregonian one just to prove our point. From The County Agent's Office By N.

Plots this year were lo cated at the Max Barclay, Ken neth Smouse, A. E. Stefan! and Son, Burton Peck, Harold Evans and Oscar Peterson ranches. All were wheat with the exception of the plot at the Oscar Peter son ranch which was a fall bar ley plot. This Is the first barley fertilizer experiment conducted in this series of experiments which has been carried on In the Columbia Basin during the past four years. In addition, two wheat fertiliizer plots, established in 1955, were harvested this year to determine whether there was carry-over from the last fertiliz er application. These plots were located at the D. O. Nelson and Don Hellker ranches. Plots sampl ed for residual effect of nittrogen last year showed that there was considerable effect In the next crop grown on fertilized land. With completely different condi tions between the 1954 and 1056 crops ' nad the 1955 and 1957 crop years, this year's samplfng may show different. Yiields from the plots are now being calcu lated by the Pendleton branch experiment station and will be available soon.
