Testing of cattle herds for re
certification of our Brucellosis
free area is going along nicely,
Dr J W Norene, Heppner vet
erlnarian has been able to keep
up with requests as far as we
can determine. There will, how
ever, be a concentrated drive
made to test those herds that
are now delinquent in their test
ing. There are a few herds that
will be quarantined if tests are
not made soon. Dr Lieuallen and
Dr Puis, veterinarians with the
State Department of Agriculture
will be In the county November
24 and will work with Dr Nor
ene In testing herds as fast as
schedules can be arranged. Dr
Lieuallen and Dr Puis will con
centrate on farm herds giving
everyone an opportunity to test
their herds regardless of how
small or how large. On Novem
ber 25 farm visits will be started
to work out a schedule. If you
have not yet made arrangements
for testing your herd, you can
do so by contacting Dr Norene
in Heppner or this office.

met with eight farmers to work
out records for the management
study. Those cooperating farm
ers will keep a record of hours
spent on each of their operations
as well as labor and custom
work. With these records cost
figures will be determined at the
end of the 1959 crop year. If
these ranchers wish, a second
year management study will be
carried out to make the study
more worthwhile. Those farmers

enrolled. The club has held two
meetings.
An interesting program of work
has been developed for the year

"Auto" Not Sell Now
Folks thought it wag a big
joke when Whitey Fisher
who owns a chicken farm up
on Murphy Hill bought an
old taxicab.
"Bought it mainly to haul
eggs," Whitey told me. "Take
out the rear seat and there's as
much room as a truck. Put it
back, and I can take all the
kids on the Hill to school.
"In warm weather," he con
tinued, "I can slide back the
roof and get sunshine. And
when I go hunting, I'll wind up
the glass partition and the dogs
can't lick the back of my neck!"
From where I sit, things aren't
always what they are at first
glance. "More than meets the
eye" is often true whether
you're talking about Whitey's
"cab," or a new neighbor down
the street. Give things a chance
to be proved . . . give every man
a chance to be heard. Sit down
over a glass of beer or butter
milk and get to know each
other. It's the American way . . .
a road of "tolerance" we all
ought to ride on.
