Norman Peters, music instruct or returned recently from a music workshop at Tacoma, Wash. Mrs. Kathryn Hoskins and Mrs. Mud red Hanna attended a two weeks science workshop at Eastern Ore gon College of Education. La Grande, for teaching science in the elementary schools, o County Agent Urges (Continued from Page 1) where grain fields extend to the buildings. With wheat acreage allotments many can make this small seeding of grass on divert ed acres without losing much in grain production. Farm wind breaks and small irrigated areas close to the farmstead have also been a great help in providing some kind of stop-gap in case of fires. We have also noticed around some of our farms the close grouping of farm buildings. While many of the farm build ings are old and have been plan ned by some one else other tfian the present occupant many times a rearrangement can be made that would prevent the rapid spread of fire from one building to another, taking the entire farmstead in case of a fire. Many times there are buildings that have served their purpose and are no longer used. These build ings might be removed entirely as a fire hazard. Other smaller buildings might be removed to another location thereby provid ing a stop gap between larger buildings so that fire would not be so apt to spread. There are also cases of lumber and oil barrels are piled between two buildings acting as a natur al fire carrier. We have noted many grease barrels accumulat ing around shops and other buildings that might be removed. Many times these barrels and drums come in handy on the farm, perhaps they could be stor ed In a canyon or waste area on the farm in case they are needed for use throughout the year. Lumber and other materials might bo stored in areas away from the buildings unless it Is to be used at once. Some of the bar rels that have accumulated ar ound buildings might be filled with water as a fire protection rather than to be setting there empty. One of these barrels might be used for sand with a broken handled shovel that is no longer for dally use kept near. A shovel of sand In a grease fire in the shop might make the dif ference between a serious fire and one quickly extinguished. When new farm buildings are put up some planning might be done in the location of the build ing to prevent a chain of fire from one building to the next. One of the rules of thumb In the Great Plains area where prairie fires in early days were frequent and costly was an interval of at least a hundred feet between buildings. Many times, several hundred feet were left, however we will say that many of the buildings wore inconveniently lo cated to get to at chore times, especially In a blizzard or other bad weather. Corrugated metal and other fire resistant materials are of course cutting down on fire dangers today. We have gone to some length in discussing farm fire protec tion. We do not want to criticize anyone nor appear that we are preaching to anyone In particular. However, the number of farm fires during the last three weeks seems to us that something must be done. They have not only caused heavy financial loss and damage but at the time this col umn is being written there are two persons in the hospital in Heppner as a result of these fires. So in closing we would like to suggest that everyone take a look at their fire preventive measures at their farm homes and in the harvest field. Be prepared In case that your farm is the next one to have one of these fires. If you are luck to escape them it might be your neighbor. When you go to your neighbor's fire, s BLUEJAYS-Pictured are a part Little League baseball team, - u mr;i, Willi er, Ronnie Jones, Jay Ball, Bruce Thomson, Ted Turner, Doug ueouque. r , 'uu, Weatherford, David Hanna, John . . tj.:J CI... "go prepared". Take along a shov el, a wet sack, a back pump sprayer, your pressure weed or livestock sprayer or a tank of water. Go prepared to 'help put the fire out. There are too many that just go to look and get in the way. o Jr. Legion Team Wins Over Baker The Heppner Junior Legion ball team racked up their first win of the year Sunday, when they out hit the Baker team 12 to 7 The game was played on the lone field and was a return game with the Baker boys who took the first game a week earlier.
