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

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

"We who are Republicans wish
for you every continued suc
cess, health and happiness with
the possible exception of a light
case of laryngitis in late October
and early November every fourth
year."
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."

Chevy pickup pulls through-bottomless"
pastures to keep stock fed !
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. He'll specify the best way to
handle both and save in the bargain.
No job's too tough for a Chevrolet truck! eEShi
