From The County Agent's Office By NELS ANDERSON Last Thursday evening, mem bers of the Morrow County Live stock Growers Association range and pasture Improvement com mittee met with E R Jickman in developing range and pasture projects for the year. It was de cided by the group that some p.n.swers are needed In the a mount of production which can be expected from grass-alfalfa ceedings made on range or aban doned crop land. While obser vations have been made the com mittee agreed that there Is little known of actual production. They vvere also concerned with the amount of production comparing grass seeded alone and grass with alfalfa. As a result of this, a project was set up to measure the yield from range land, grass seeded alone and alfalfa and press together. One rod plots will be fenced in comparative areas on the ranch where con ditions prevail. Contacts on Friday started this project under way when Alec Lindsay and W E Hughes both agreed to fence such plots for yield difference measurements. Also considered by the committee was a project to determine the possibility of combining nitrogen fertilizer with early Feeding in pasturing fall wheat. Some ex perience is needed on when Is best to turn cattle in, how long they should be left in, what the carrying capacity might be and how much fertilizer Is needed for the best gains of cattle without sacrificing yields of wheat. An other project which the commit tee considered w,as that of de termining the protein content of grass in dry land pastures early in the spring and later to de pond3 on the W W Weatherford ranch; 1 pond on the Fritz and Kenneth Cutsforth ranch; 1 pond on the Bob Kilkenny ranch and 1 pond on the Marcel Jones ranch. In total 8,000 of these trout were planted. If growth Is made in these ponds like has been the result in others In the area these fish can be expected to grow one inch per month making some legal size fish for some angling late this summer. It is expected that there will be a lot of ten Inch trout to be fished from these ponds this time next spring.

The governor made an infre quent decision on Senate Bill 503, carrying the emergency clause, by filing it without his signa ture In the office of the Secre tary of State. The bill would in crease the salaries of members of the legislature from $600 a year, as specified in Oregon's consitiution, to $2,000 a year, payable annually. Secretary of State Howell App ling has declined to pay the in crease in legislative salaries des ignated In this bill, thus pro viding a basis for an early court test of the salary Issue. State Senator R P Chapman, Coos Bay, has made a demand for payment of the additional salary. Appling says he is sympathetic with the need for higher legis lative salaries and said his of fice will cooperate fully to ob tain an early decision on the legality of the bill. He refused payment, he said, in view of the possible conflict belween Senate bill 503 and the constitution. VETOED BILLS Among bills vetoed was a Sen- ale bill which would require del egates to the national convention to pledge their best efforts until released to the candidate of their party who received the highest men. He said the bill requiring elec nffipials to resign before assuming another elective office fails to recognize conditions whereby the second position may not finally be vacated. He also questioned its constitutionality. He vetoed a bill to create a tax appeals board and to sub ject log trucks to regulation of the public utilities commissioner ua nnnnsed the tax appeal bill because the legislature did not provide an appropriation for it. ho nhierted to bills creating a board of visitors for Fairvlew scientific advisory council to provide a study of nrnhlems related to mental re tardation. He said the legislation would add to the list of boards commissions and committees on the statutes. "vrr.r PRESIDENT" TALK In a post legislative interview and on the arrival of the long awaited Saturday Evening Post's exclusive storv. "Oregon's Gold en Boy" the governor said that talk about his being a vice presi dential possibility on the Repub lican ticket next year is now of "secondary" importance to his ambition to be the best governor the state ever had. "To say that I have no interest in the national political picture or any other possible political development would not be hon est. My immediate concern Is to serve well in this office. It is very flattering and com plimentary but my job is to get Oregon into a situation where we are progressing, developing job opportunities, to make our state a progressive state in which we live."

At the Ball Bros. Dairy Farm, Montgom ery, Ala., they say this 4-wheel drive Chevy will go anywhere to keep stock fed-even through hub-deep muck that makes it a fight all the way. And yet after a full year of it-no mechanical trouble of any kind! That Chevy pickup may not win any beauty awards (till it's cleaned up). But it's sure walking off with the top prize for depend ability. And that's standard Chevrolet proce dure. Put a Chevy truck to work and it keeps on working until you say quit Not before. We aren't claiming that every Chevrolet truck is turning out to be a miracle-worker and averaging 100,000 miles, before a valve job. (Even though some are going 150,000!) You're sure to find, however, that you can't buy more truck dependability at any price. And that's borne out by the fact that more truck owners put their faith, and their pay loads, in Chevrolets than in any other make. Take your load and schedule figures to your Chevrolet dealer.
