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!

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.

New Standard plant foods "have produced twice as muck beef from a single acrs
enough extra beef to supply an average person for a solid year.
Who eats the most meat in the U.S.? 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.
