CHRISTMA: CARD IMPRINTED WITH YOUR NAME PRICED FROM far r 5 HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES FHONI fl-'SM Burton Pecks Find Eastern Oregon Farming Among Best By Burton Peck On arriving in New Mexico we took rooms at Carlsbad. Next morning we motored to White City for breakfast after which we Inspected one of the best curio shops we had yet encountred. At 10 a.m. in company with some GO persons and two guides we entered Carlsbad Caverns. To quote "Here is the world's largest and most beautiful known caves, a majestic example of nature's handiwork 60-million years In the making. Some of the rooms in the caverns are so vast that the ceilings are 350 feet high!" First we entered the Bat cave where each morning at dawn thousands of bats enter and attach themselves to the walls hi;h overload. In the evening at, twilight they leave the cave in a veritable swarm, to feed during. niht on flying insects and small rodents. The trallsin the caves are smooth and dry and are sufficint ly wide to travel two abreast, which they require, In places re taining walls are provided one to two-feet high on either .vide. This morning trip takes over two hours of liesurley walking. We pass under a huge natural bridge, then pass compartments named Squaw with Papoose, PoI.'T Bear, Pa by Hippo, Queers l''ke room, King's Palace which descends S2) feet below the surface, and ' others. Finaly we emerge into the World;; largest dining rooms, 750 feet down. Here box lunches, re freshments and curios may be! r-'iuiiMti. roiij' 111UIUIC3 1U1 AUUl.ll and the second trip begins by ent ering the big room. The whole cavern is lighted by cleverly placed electric bulbs. On every side are stalactites and stalag mites, from small to huge dimen sions appearing translucent like 1'ilished marble. The constant temperature is 56 degrees. Sections of this big room are named Sword of Damocles, Wall of the Giants, Temple of the Sun, Overhanging Cliff and many others. Suddenly we find our selves back at the lunch room where the huge elevator that holds about 25 persons whisks us up about 750 feet to the surface in less than one minute. After resting a bit, we viewed the land scape then rtumed to Carlsbad some 16 miles distant and pro ceded by routes 88 and 66 through Alburquerque to Hoi brook and the petrified forests. This section was at one time a forest, then the land sank creat ing a lake bed. The shores silted J down covering the trees and with the great weight of water was conducive to petrifying the trees. Then the mighty earthquake which probably started the Grand Canyon, elevated this section dome hundreds of feet. The wind erosion bared the trunks of those trees now became agate. No spec imens are allowed removed from the park. Few of the trunks are more than two feet long. Show ing the tremendous force exert ed in the upheaval, but they lie there on the surface, many trunks more than three feet through. At the park museum beautiful specimens were shown, of the polished agate and other rocks and metals. From here we pro ceeded to Flagstaff then north to the rims of the Grand Canyon. I purchased a collection of scen ic views of this section but no picture can compare with seeing nature's "masterpiece". At Nava jo Point "Desert View Tower" was built of desert boulders 40 feet wide and six stories high, the ground floor resembling the anci ent KIVA or ceremonial chamber of the Navajo. Several paved tsreets lead to viewpoints at the canyon's brink. At Yoki Point 13 miles from the Watchtower it appears to be the size of the head of a pin at arm's ength. Here too begins the Kaibob mule trail, up from the Colorado river a mile and one half below. We watched a party of 12 ascend to the rim. The last ady remarked T am sure glad that's over". After viewing sev eral points, we dined at Bright Angel lodge then motored south on 64 to Wiliams, Arizona, then west on 66 to Kingman. Next morning it was raining but clear ed before we reached Hoover dam. Impounding the Colorado river to form Lake Mead. This structure is undoubtedly one of our great est feats of engineering. At Boul der City we decided to take high way 95 north through Nevada. It is a good road and not too much traveled. We passed through Las Vegas, city of gambling ads, hot and dusty. Tonopah past Walker Lake to Fallon, a thriving irrigat ed community. Next day past Carson Sink, a huge bog that ab sorbs Humboldt river. As a boy in Sunbury, Ohio, studying geog raphy, I wondered a lot about this freak of nature, and here i was beside it. On to Lovelock, Winnemucca, McDurmitt and the Oregon border. One thing we noticed in this southwest country, most diners spread their meal ticket on one of the many one-arm bandits. After hitting Oregon we passed through Burns and were in Lex ington at the ranch at 7 p.m., a satisfactory place to find. My observations are that we are doing a better job of tilling the soil here in Eastern Oregon than most other communities. Young, men of America are ne glecting their lands-flocking to the cities for the greater immedi ate compensation, because the products of the land will not profitably supply competition.

You do surveys show Westerners top the nation in meat consumption. Now Standard helps ranchers satisfy that hearty appetite with chemically blended plant foods, so economical they can be used to turn unproductive foothills into profitable pasture-land. These new blends of essential plant-growth elements come from a $16 million Standard plant opened just a year ago. Grasslands they have enriched are now producing up to twice as much beef per acre. Farmers find them equally productive on many other crops. For you they promise tastier, more nutritious meals for every dollar you spend on food. Progress in the West means . . .
