Gardeners who have another
successive planting of sweet

which is well adapted to this
area. Gilliam and BIsbee Hard

who have tried it like it except
ionally well and are back for
more seed this year. The variety
was released to ten gardeners
through this office three years
ago and as a result, it has been
very popular. Many report that
one planting has done well com
ing on over a long period of time,
doing away with successive In
terval plantings like is usually
done with sweet corn. For those
who have tried Pot O' Gold we
suggest that you compare It
with your favorite variety. It Is
a good freezing variety as well
as for canning and for fresh use.
Last week's soil judging field
day and contest was a success
in the eyes of those who attend
ed. Adult attendance was poor,
perhaps due to the nice day and
the opportunity to catch up on
some summer fallow, which has

who were at the grounds showed
a marked Improvement in the
scurry race, The extra practice
on the poles did them no harm.
Some of the boys, with the aid of
the ladies, braided the rings In
the musical ropes so they're
ready for use, and the consess

that it can be used. Thanks to
Jim Farley we have an electric

for it.) Bill Barratt let us have

Lexington Holds Baccalaureate

Baccalaureate exercises for the

The Reorganization Committee Is
directed by law to form adminl
stratlve school districts only.
Since the County Unit Plan does
not qualify under law as an
administrative district, the com
mittee can not recommend It as
a plan of reorganization under
the 1957 act.
The law states In Section 42
that the Committee may permit
consolidation or reorganization
that does not hinder its planning.
Since the formation of a County
Unit would aid the Committee In
forming an administrative unit
or units, the Committee has per
mitted the County Unit Plan to
come to a vote of the people.
There would be lltthi differ
ence in a County Unit Plan and
a County Administrative District.
The former calls for a five man
board and the latter, a seven
man board. The County Unit
also provides for local commit
tees for each school.
As the law stands at present,
however, the Reorganization
Committee will be required to
call another election to form an
Administrative District even
though the people vote in a
County Unit Plan.
The published report is correct
in that only by forming a Coun
ty Unit first can the joint dis
trict territory be brought back
into the county school system.
I realize this Is all very con
fusing. I don't want to be criti
cal, but I am anxious that every
one has the facts.
Yours Sincerely,
Fredrick T Martin, Chairman
Morrow County School Re
organization Committee
To The Editor:

Main attendance was the vocat

Boardman and Heppner with a
sprinkling of older 4 H members
with some adults. After a train
ing period in the morning on
what to look for in soils ap
proximately 25 participated In
the judging contest In the after
noon! Three soil profile cuts lo
cated on the Newt O'Harra and
Walter Ruggles ranches made up
the contest. In the youth class,
Dick Robinson, Heppner placed
first; Allen Taylor, Boardman,
second; Ronnie Gray, Heppner,
third and were winners of sub
stantial prizes put up by Inland
Chemical Company and Les Wy-
man. In the women s class Mrs
O W Cutsforth was first and Mrs
Walter Ruggles, second winning
prizes donated by Central Fer
tilizers of lone. Winning In the
men s contest were John Venard
Heppner, first; Gene Pierce, sec
ond with prizes from Les Wy
man, Heppner. While this was
the first of what we hope to be
an annual soil judging event,
scores were relatively high, Top
scores were the youth who had
spent some time on soil judging
in their vocational agricultural
classes. Those attending were
very grateful to the O'Harra's
who provided coffee, punch and
chill beans at noon.

Paul Koenig is letting us have
some shavings if we can find
some way to haul them as the
surplus builds up. It would be
nice if someone could see their

planned and the price is right
with Dimples heading it, you
know everything will be right.

For those who have inquired
at the office recently and found
us out of mouse and squirrel
bait we can now fill those or
ders with fresh bait. Demand
this spring has been so great
for mouse and squirrel baits that
it has been difficult to estimate
needs In advance so that orders
could be filled at all times. Rath
er than order large quantities
with the resulting loss of ef
fectiveness because of bait grow
ing stale we have attempted to
order bait as needed and have it
fresh.
Up to the time we go to press
today, 167 pioneers of Morrow
county have placed their names
on the register at Gordon's store.
It is expected that this number
will be largely increased at the
reunion tomorrow when Heppner
will entertain a very large num
ber of the early settlers of this
section.
Some more of the recommen
dations made at this winter',
planning conference were put
into effect this week. At last
week's election the ten mill
county road levy passed making
it possible to continue improving
roads in the county. Another rec
ommendation being carried out
is that of mowing roadsides to
prevent the spread of rye and
other weeds not affected by
4-D spraying, This recommenda
tion is being carried out through
the purchase of a tractor and
side mount mower which is in
operation now in the north part
of the county. Those who have
heavy infestations of rye and
other weeds which should be
mowed could help by advising
Elmer Peterson, countv weed
man or this office.
