To The Editor:
Here Is a little story that
might be of interest to the peo
ple of Heppner. It was told to
me by my good friend, the late
Harry Duval, of Heppner, late
in the fall of 1953:
"In the. fall of 1925, the famous
motion pictures and western ro
deo star, hoot Gibson, came to
the Pendleton Round-up and,
competing with the world's
champions, won the champion
ship In riding wild western hors
es. For this he won the beauti
ful cowboy saddle made and
presented by the great and world
famous saddle shop of Pendle
ton, Oregon.
After the round up that year,
Hoot came to the Ben Swaggart
ranch In Blackhorse canyon,
near Heppner, beyond the Swag
gart Buttes. He brought along
with him several expert horse
trainers. A great many years be
fore, Mr Swaggart came into pos
session of a great buckskin stal
lion. He then went to the Cayuse
Indians, on the Umatilla Indian
reservation and purchased sev
eral of their beautiful buckskin
mares. These he bred to the great
stallion and after many years
originated the famous Swaggart
Cremlllne horses. They were
large intelligent horses, and no
others like them on earth.
Hoot saw some of these great
horses at the Pendleton Round
up and determined to own some
of them if Mr Swaggart could
be pursuaded to sell a few of
them. Hoot bought five of the
finest three year old fillies and
he and his trainers spent sever
al months at the Swaggart ranch
training and genteling them.
Hoot paid the sum of $750 each
for these fillies.
At this time, Mr Swaggart had
a fine Cremellne stallion he cal
led Candy. Candy was the fav
orite of all Mr Swaggart's hors
es and he loved him more than
any other horse on the ranch.
Hoot foil in love with this great
stallion, Candy, and several
weeks after he left the ranch,
wrote to Mr Swaggart offering
From The
County Agent's Office
By N. C. Anderson
From work done this year and
past years the new sestemic
treatment for grub control will
be a recommended practice. Sev
eral companies are manufactur
ing the chemical used, ET-57,
under various trade names. It
will be available as a liquid for
use in a dose syringe and in
large pills or boluses. The ma
terial circulates with the body
fluids of a treated animal and
destroys the grubs that have
burrowed into the flesh. There
are a few precautions suggested
for the use of these new chemi
cals which include no treatments
to be made later than 60 days
before slaughter of the animals,
no use on milk cows to avoid
residues of the pesticide in the
milk, use strictly according to re
commended dosages on the pa
ckage label. It is recommended
that the compound be admini
stered to cattle after the adult-heel-fly
season ends but before
the grubs show In the backs of
cattle. Here that will mean that
treatments can be made from
September through December.
We are hopeful that there will
be a number of Morrow county
livestock men use this new ma
terial as a means of controlling
grubs before the damage is done.
Homemakers of Morrow county
who have made plans to attend
the Rose Festival and have not
yet left for Portland when this
item appears may be interested
in a part of the program there.
The Indiana Home Extension
chorus of about 500 voices will
sing at the evening program of
the Rose Festival on June 12, 13,
and 14. They will arrive the
morning of June 12 by special
train and will be housed at Lew
is and Clark college and Port
land University. Extension wo
men from Clakamas, Multno
mah, Washington, Columbia,
Clatsop and Tillamook counties
will be their hostesses. This
Indianna Home Economics Ex
tension chorus is well known in
the Middle Viest. It is directed
by Al Stewart, director of music
at Purdue University. The wo
men in the chorus are a part

fer, and said "I practically gave
him the other horses and now
he wants me to give him Candy,
too. To Hell with him." A few
weeks 1 later Candy scratched
himself on a barbed wire fence
and this turned into blood poison
and Candy was soon dead. I was
working for Mr Swaggart at that
time, and helped remove the
beautiful hide from the animal.
Mr Swaggart kept the hide as
long as he lived. I do not know
if the Swaggart family kept the
hide of Candy or not."

because overweight is dangerous or
there is a desin to reduce so that we may
look better, feel better, be more fit.
However, to reduce we must cat less
(fewer calorics) and when we do eat
less we may feel the uncomfortable, al
most painful pangs of hunger. VC'e may
also become nervous and irritable be
cause of the lack of sufficient vitamins
and minerals in a restricted diet. Now,

when the air temperature is 40

For those who were not re
minded last year of the new
changes in wheat grades it
might be timely to call the
change to their attention now.
This is especially true in light
of the severe infestation of rye
and barley and mixtures of var
ieties in wheat fields this year.
Principle amount of the chang
es that were made last year in
wheat grades is the reduction in
the percentage of foreign allow
ed. The reduction from 1 to
in the number one grade
and from 2 to 1 in the num
ber two grade will be of partic
ular importance where volunteer
rye is a problem. Rogulng rye
from the field is the only way
to overcome this. There has also
been a reduction In the limits

Your choice in the June 20
Wheat Referendum u between:
YES'S vote for a national av
erage support price of $1.81 a
bushel on your 1959 wheat, or
NO a vote against price gup
ports, with prices of a dollar a
bushel or less in the open mar
ket. A bumper wheat crop this year
is expected. The total carry-over
to 1959 could he equal to a
whole year's harvest.
In any case, wheat will be in
sufficient supply to bring cash
prices crashing down without a
support price. The effect would

economy.
Even if you overplanted this
year and expect a better-than-normal
yield per acre, you will
be better off next year with your
wheat program and price sup
ports held by a YES vote.
Prices will be low enough with
out making them lower next
year by voting NO.
Remember, it takes at least
two-thirds of you who vote to
hold the program and your
$1.81 price support for 1959.
Why Guess? Vote YES June 20
Wheat Referendum.
WHO CAN VOTE-Any
landlord, tenant , and other
person with a share in 1959
wheat crop of 15 acres or
more. That means wives as
well as husbands. If in doubt,
consult your local ASC office.

Livestock men are reminded
that water requirements increase
sharply when summer comes.
They are also reminded that feed
and water intake are closely re
lated if consumption of one is
curtailed, the other also is lim
ited. It has been known for many
years that water intake per unit
of dry matter is the same
whether cattle are on full feed
or on near-starvation rations. In
a pinch, a livestock man can cut
water consumption of his herd in
half simply by halving the feed
allowance. However, this mea
sure should never be employed
with lactating cows if it can be
avoided because it would result
in a decline in production that
might not be overcome during
the lactation period. How water i
intake can vary with differences

with only a cloud or two and the sweet
smell of summer between you and the sky.

for it is much more than that. Your
dealer's waiting now with the facts on the
