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!

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.

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.

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

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.

On State Highways
A mileage death rate of 6.7
