Xi I County Agent's News By N C ANDERSON Forty five 4 H saddle horse members, leaders and parents from Morrow county attended the 411 saddle horse field day held in Condon last Saturday. This group was part of 165 per sons attending the field day from Morrow, Gilliam, Wheeler, Sherman and Wasco counties. During the day those in attend ance were given instructions on what to look for in selecting a horse, horse judging, showman ship and horsemanship. Club members judged a class of four quarter horses. Everyone present was intensely interested in the horsemanship demonstration giv en by Ward Wells, horse breeder and trainer from Oswego who went through the paces explain ing how to train a horse; demon strating the simple fundamen tals working into the more dif ficult aspects when the simple steps have been accomplished. Mr Wells demonstrated on his palamino stallion, Hireks Son, who has appeared on numerous television programs and has shown in many of the exhibitions throughout the entire United States and Canada.

The program has been developed for beef on the first day, May 18 with the Swine field day follow ing the next day. A special ladies program has been arranged for both days. The beef cattle breeding re search program at the college, a discussion on improving re productive efficiency and im proving beef cattle through breeding research will be part of the morning session which attended the field day Indicated 1W,1" beled by various members that their day was well spent. TRAIN WRECK NEAR MORGAN The engineer was drowned and his fireman seriously burned when this old steam locomotive went through a flood-weakened trestle Just above Morgan and wouna up on its side in Willow creek. This newspaper was un- ooie to uncover tne exact date ol the wreck, but the best guess that could be obtained was that it occurred in the spring of either 1919 or 1920. It attracted many persons for miles around and several made the trip by automobile from Heppner, which was not nearly as easy to do at that time as it is today. Another wreck occurred about 1940 just above Lexington, and there have been several Instances over the years of runaway cars on the downhill run from Heppner to Heppner Junction. The last run away was about seven years ago when three cars got loose at Heppner and were derailed in a pile at Ione alter a last 17 mile trip. TO THE EDITOR . . . Dear Editor: It would be greatly appreciated if you would publish in your Letters to the Editor, the follow ing comments: Due to the fact a great many citizens of this county have in quired of various members of the Pioneer Memorial Hospital board as to the possibility of air con ditioning the hospital, in an swer to these Inquiries the board of trustees has made an Inves tigation as to the cost of the same that meets the standard requirement of hospitals and we find if the whole building is air conditioned in one contract the cost will be approximately $20,750.00 and that if we do it step-by-step in Ihree stages the including repaint job, cost will be approximately necessary, $2,000.00. $21,770.00.

When the last monthly meet ing of the board was held our budget for the fiscal year begin ning July 1, 1959, and ending June 30, 1960, was discussed. We find that from experience our income from the operation of the hospital is only sufficient to pay actual operating expen ses and does not leave any mar gin for the maintenance of the plant. We are going to submit to the County Budget Committee a request for $8,000.00 for the ensuing year. These items are as follows: 1. Repair to the heating ss tern in the basement $1,000.00. 2. Treatment and repair of roof, $1,500.00. 3. Repair to inside of buildlns. where Congratulations are in order for Raymond Lundell, Goose berry community farmer, who was selected lor Conservation Man of the Year winner for Mor row County.

Very truly yours, P W Mahoney, Chairman, Board of Trustees rionecr Mem o r 1 a 1 Hospital published Thursday, April 23. do not know for sure the exact month this old picture was taken but I will be pretty close to the date. I am positive the picture was taken in the spring, prob ably in April, of 1894. In 1894 my father, J L Yeager finished our new house on what was then Alkali Street, now called Water Street, on the S E corner of what is now Water and Jones Streets. There was no Jones Street then, as that part of Jones street was part of our barn yard, N D Bailey now owns our old home. I remember it was during the school term In 1894 when we moved Into our new home from acooss the street where Adelle Wright now lives. I remember when Gilliam & Bisbee had the "Majestic Range" display that year. My mother told me that she purchased one of the very urst Majestic ranges brought in by the famous old hardware Co, I recall very clearly that my father had Mr Harris the old tin-smith working for the hard ware store come aown to our now house and Install the stove and put in a new hot water tank, with a hot water faucet right over the range. This old range was in constant use clear up to the time of my father's death when it became the prop erty of my brother James W Yeager. So, I am pretty sure this picture was taken either in March of April of 1894. At that time the Majestic range was thought to be the last word in modern cooking.

Re cent developments in cattle nu trition with discussion on white muscle disease, pellet feeding, and feeding experiments; tech niques for red meat determina tion, a panel question period and a tour and demonstration at the barns will make up the after noon program. Featured at the swine field day will be discussions on feed ing pre-weaning pigs, improve ment of barley rations, swine disease prevention a carcass demonstration and a presenta tion by Stanley Green, Stanfield on how he carries out his com mercial hog operation. The after noon will be spent-in observing the OSC swine herd through a tour and demonstration at the barns as well as a panel ques tion period and an outline of swine breeding research in Ore gon. Ruby Setzler, extension animal husbandman from Washington State College will outline the Washington swine testing pro gram. Those interested in being summer. vet the countries that will be represented in this years if it- program, they come from an over the world. ' From Purdue University comes word that, good quality early cut alfalfa hay has three times the feeding value of average hay. The average daily intake of the better kind for a 1200 pound cow would be 35 pounds daily. Of this 17 pounds will be required for maintenance leaving 18 pounds for production. This amount would produce -enough energy for 32 pounds of milk and in addition, will have enough protein and calcium for 80 and 220 pounds of milk re spectively. On the other hand, if given hay of average quality the same cow would eat but 25 pounds daily. Because this in ferior hay has lower digestibili ty 19 pounds would be required for maintenance, leaving only 6 pounds available for milk pro duction. This hay would only have enough energy to produce the 22 pounds of milk to be equivalent to the good quality hay about 9 pounds of grain would be required. The value of beef cows and other stock is in proportion to the figures given for dairy cows. In addition this early cut alfalfa hay would pro vide much of the vitamin A re quirements, if put up properly, that is so badly needed by our range livestock. Recently chairman George Rugg of the Morrow County Live stock Growers Association ap pointed committees for the new year. In line with action taken1 at the annual meeting to in-1 corporate the association there j will be 11 persons on the exec utive committee beginning this year. In addition to president!

On the other hand calves are bringing 109 of par ity, beef cattle 100. The sheep man is getting 2 of par ity for sheep, 74 for lambs and only 49 for wool. Again, the wheat man should know that oats is bringing but 70 of par ity, rye 64 and corn, 63. Barley and hogs are each bring ing 71. Dairyman are getting 84 of parity on their price for wholesale milk; 80 for butter fat. Turkey men, on the other hand, are receiving 65, chick ens, 62. Find anything In the list that you would rather be growing? Flowering orna mentals are now due for a pruning. Some of this can well be done as you cut flowers for inside use as they bloom.
