Subscription uaies: auhdw tuiu Muit wmiuoi, ON SPUTNIKS With most everyone going overboard think ing up rhymes for Russia's Sputniks, the Gazette Times this week joins the crowd and publishes the following works of one of our regular contributors, Spencer Akers, a former Morrow county resident, who now lives In Aumsville. ; Since Sputnik two has taken to the air, And made the headlines everywhere, The far Eastern question has had a back seat, For most of the news is the Russian feat. We wonder how Curly or Laika up there . - , Enjoys the ride as she's hurled thru the air. And strapped in a package where she can't stir, And thinking of home. The poor little cur. . " We hope she will say if she ever gets homo,. .'. I have seen the whole earth and no more will I roam. Now Sputnik the third which is due very soon, I suppose will be sent direct to the moon. And a lovely lady with long fowing hair Will be sent to the "man in the moon" up there. No doubt they are wishing to populate This barren sphere as a Russian state; Thereby showing their boastful might By adding another satellite. I hope Uncle Sam who has a red face, Won't send that grapefruit into space But try and send a larger sphere; As large as Sputnik or somewhere near, And be able, a hydrogen bomb to ferry - . And use it if deemed necessary. Then perhaps the Russian bear Will scamper to shelter into his lair '.. And only occasionally come out to peep And' hnar nnr constant beep, beep, beep! Spencer Akers From The County Agent's Office By K. C. Anderson Arrangements have been com pleted for the "Bull Day" which we have mentioned before In this column. It will be a day for all of our livestockmen to trade, buy or sell bulls that will be on dis play at the newly completed live stock corrals at the fair grounds on January 10, 1958. The day, sponsored by the Morrow County Llvestockgrowers Association, Is part of the annual meeting which will be held on January 10 and 11. The "Bull Day" is being spons ored in an attempt to save the life of a number of good proven herd sires which otherwise are marketed for beef each year. The thinking behind the "Bull Day was that many livestock men would like to trade bulls with their neighbor rather than haul them to market after they could no longer use them in their herd and go look for a new bull. The committee working on this "Bull Day" arrangement are Frank An derson, Walter Wright, Don Rob inson, W. E. Hughes and Don Greenup. They have the assurance that there will be a good variety of bulls of all ages which they be lieve should give everyone a sel ection to choose from. They urge all livestockmen who are think ing of selling or buying a bull to keep this day in mind with the fact that they might find exactly what they are looking for. The executive committee of the Morrow County Wheatgrowers as sociation meeting recently, made plans for their annual fall meet ing which will be held at the Lex ington Grange hall on Thursday, Nov. 21. During the day each of the six committees will meet to discuss pertinent problems of the wheatgrower and make recom mcndations to be worked on dur ing the year ahead. Of special interest to all wheatgrowers should be the dicusslon of the proposal of a new farm program which we discussed briefly in this column last week. Vernon Munk ers, chairman of the Morrow County Wheatgrowers association, invites everyone to keep this lm portant meeting in mind. The meeting starts at 10 a.m. with a part of the federal agricultural programs and discussion of the new farm program first on the agenda. Weeks auction yard last Thursday were quite pleased with the prices received from the 307 head of cattle sold at the sale. The sale had a top of $25 per hundred on 22 light-weight steers; $22.30 on one lot of yearling steers and $23 on heifer calves. Thirty-two buy ers at the sale made bids that re flected definitely that they were paying for quality. Receiving high prices of those consigning from Morrow county wore Rand all Martin, Heppner, who sold both heifers and steers consider ably above the average for the sale. One lot of 31 steer calves brought $24.50, another lot of 26 steers, $24.30; while another lot of 40 steers brought $24.10. Sixty four heifers brought $22.25, an other lot of heifers bringing $22. 10. Oilier Morrow county con signers were R. V. Jones, Irrigon; Newt O'Hurra, Lexington; D. J. Kenny, Irrigon, L. L.

Arrangements have been made with Robert Every, entomology specialists, Oregon State college and the U. S. Department of Agri culture entomoligist to enter into some trials and demonstrations in Morrow county using the new systemic treatment for grub con trol. The material, which has been approved by the food and drug administration, is on the market in some state where grubs are a major problem. The materi al will be offered for sale, it is expected, in Oregon next year. We would like to have three co operaters in Morrow county us ing half the number of cattle 'or calves for check, treating the oth er half. The treatment would re quire the cooperator to have a chute and squeeze and that per mission would be granted to ex amine the animals following treatment. At least two examina tions would be necessary; one ab out mid-January and in April or Mav. The treatment is given or ally. Mr. Every and Dr. Goulding plan to do this work on November 11 and 15 if herds can be lined up here for treatment on that dale. Anyone interested should contact this office. THIRTY YEARS AGO From the files of the Gazette Times November 17. 1927 Mr. and Mrs. Guy Boyer are jver from their Monument home his week looking after interests lere. A. A. Agee of Boardman was attending to business in this city on Tuesday. John Wightman drove Mrs. Ida Dutton and Mrs. Delia Hallock to Portland and then took them to visit his son and daughter who are students at O.A.C. at Corval-lis. Herb Hughes, Nebraska wheat grower and president of the Na tional Association of Wheat Grow ers reported to approximately 150 wheat farmers from Oregon, Washington,, Idaho and Montana on Tuesday of last week a new farm program which is expected to be presented Congress for their consideration this winter. The meeting, the annual Oregon Wheat Growers League fall work shop for county associations of ficers was held at the armory in Pendleton. The proposed new farm pro gram, a modified domestic parity one was developed by a newly organized National Conference of Commdities organization. It was reported that the proposed farm program meets with the approval of all commodity groups which if this is the case, is the first time that all commodities will be treated as groups rather than in dividually. The newly proposed program would provide for ap proximately 57 of the annual wheat production to be sold at 100 parity with 24 to bring a price equalling 65; parity, the rest of the production to seek its own method of disposal. There would t,c unlimited seeding regu lated by the farmer in relation to what he could dispose of. The program is discouraging tlTe tre mendous amount of wheat being seeded by farmers in 15 acre fields which are not subject to allotments and quotas. Details of the program will be discussed at the annual fall meeting of the County Wheat Growers associa tion which is tentatvely sched uled to be hold in the Lexington grange hall on November 21.

J The biggest and most luxurious Mercury ever built the new Park Lane series was designed to appeal to the more discriminating buyers in the upper-medium price bracket. Striking styling features and big car size 220.2 inches long and 125-inch wheelbase distinguish the Park Lane. Mercury will offer 20 models for 1958. The Park Lane series includes a convertible, a phaeton coupe and a phaeton sedan, pictured here. Recent information in the form of experimental data from the McGregor Land and Livestock company should be of interest to Morrow county farmers. The Mc Gregor Land and Livestock comp any is located in Eastern Wash ington with not much different rainfall and soil conditions as much of the land in Morrow county. Harley Jacquot, their ag ronomist found that nitrogen fert ilizer has improved water utiliza tion. When Jacquot applied no nitrogen each inch of moisture grew 2.8 bushels of wheat. With 30 pounds of nitrogen per acre each inch of moisture produced 3.9 bushels. Translating this to a possibility of ten inches rain fall during the growing season this could mean 28 bushels of wheat with no nitrogen compared to 39 bushels when 30 pounds of nitrogen was applied. o September Traffic Death Rate High j On State Highways A mileage death rate of 6.7 deaths per 100 million miles driven was recorded on Oregon highways during September, the Department of Motor Vehicles'! traffic safety division reported today.

The department said mileage for the month totalled approxl-j mately 625,268,000 miles, as com pared with 650,106,000 miles trav eled for, the same month a year ago.
