Dear Editor: I see In the last few Issues of your paper you had some very interesting pictures of early times, when the town was quite young, which I remember quit well. I came to Heppner with my parents in 1881. We lived on a homestead in Black Horse Can yon at the head of Sour Dough Canyon. Our ranch was known as the Dutch Brown Ranch. We lived there until 1917. In that time we acquired 1,440 acres of wheat land. We then went to Walla Walla for two years. We then came to Redlands, this be ing my parents old home. We have been in the orange busi ness since we came south. I find among my souvenirs a few items I have had for many years. hope their condition Isn't too far gone with age that you can not use them. I have been In Redlands about forty years and we are comfortably located and like it very much. I have visited Heppner many times during this time, as we love the old town. We still have many good and loyal friends there. I have been a subscriber of the Heppner Times since the be ginning of time. Thank you. Sincerely yours, Ed Brown and family Redlands, Calif. To The Editor: As a part of our summer rec reatlon program, we would like to arrange some informal games with neighboring towns to help provide recreation for those not fitting into formal league play. We would be interested In home and home baseball games for teams 15 and under, 16 and under or 17 and under and soft ball games for girls 12 and under or 16 and under. If there are any adults willing to undertake organization of such teams, we would be most pleased t0 hear from them. Thank you. Very truly yours Richard Scott Klnzua, Oregon From The County Agent's Office By NELS ANDERSON Last week's air flight from here to St Paul Mineapolls, Minnesota provided an interest ing observation of farming oper ations, conservation practices, and moisture conditions through the several states which we pass-, ed over. From the air a lot of things can be seen which are not noticed on the ground. Flying over the Palouse country fields are very spotty with major por tlons of some fields having been reseeded this spring. A cloud burst In the Spokane area a few days earlier had caused a great deal of erosion in many fields, Spring seedings In Montana were barely up due to the late spring. Range lands greening up, stock water ponds were full and a lot of snow in the mountains. In North Dakota the dry spring and winter was evident with very little grain up and corn planting delayed. It was interesting to see the number of whole farms in Soil Bank. Montana and western North Dakota are now almost entirely strip cropped; shelter belt plantings have sprung up with miles of plantings on each farm. Plantings are continuing as part of the Soil Bank program. With a dry winter and no spring moisture the two and one-half inches of rainfall that fell In eastern North Dakota during the few days of my visit broucht grins from everyone. Soil Bank grass seedings and corn planting will be speeded up this week due to the moisture. Returning home Sunday evening I could see where we could use some of the moisture that fell in other states during the week. 2 HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Thursday, June 4, 1959 with loose salt than blocks. Salt blocks are not as desirable for cows and calves on open range as cows will lick the block and drift back to pasture before the calves have satisfied their salt hunger. Cattle on the range con sume one and two-thirds ounces of salt each day per cow-calf unit. This amounts to approxl mately 38 pounds per year. It is necessary that protected troughs be provided for loose salt to re duce losses from hlowing and scattering. Salt Is a valuable aid in regulating grazing on range ana pasture. Use of salt to in duce grazing on a remote area Is a practice that distributes grazing more evenly. Cattle have been known to walk six or seven miles to reach salt. church youth program to these congregations. I will return for 4-H summer school on the Oregon State cam pus June 20-27th where I will be teaching the 4-H youngsters, "Let's Sing For Fun." (I'll very likely have laryngitis by the time I get back! Speaking of vacations June, July and August are multi-project months for most homemak ers as they carry on regular in door activities, add any number of exciting outdoor projects, and in most cases manage to get the family ready for a long awaited vacation. But frequently it's that week Just before vacation when sum mer becomes a bit too hectic, with too many extra things to be done and remembered. The pressure of the busy pre- vacation week can be eased with "vacation vlanniner" list of THIRTY YEARS AGO From the files of the Gazette-Times June 6, 1929 At the Star Theater on Thurs day morning last was gathered one of the largest audiences In the history of Heppner to listen to the program arranged for Dec oration Day. At the home of the bride's par ents, Mr and Mrs S P Devin, in this city on Saturday evening, June 1, occurred the marriage of their daughter, Miss Etta to Loy al R Parker, Milton W Bower, pastor of the Christian church, performing the ceremony at the hour of 8:30 o'clock. Mr and Mrs Gene Ferguson, who spent a few days In Heppner during the past week, returned to their home near Jacksonville on Saturday. Mrs Lewis Cason, who Is an instructor in the State Normal at Ashland, has arrived home for the summer vacation season. Purebred and commercial Here ford breeders should make note of a tour of four of our pure bred breeders on June 25 as a part of the four state Northwest Hereford breeders tour. The four states included Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. The tour sponsored by the Hereford Association of each state andj runs from June to July 1. The stops in Morrow county are scheduled for the Frank Ander son, Kirk and Robinson, Herbert Ekstrom and Barnett Hereford ranches. These stops will give commercial breeders an oppor tunity to see these herds that provide a lot of the purebred breeding stock and range bulls for Morrow and surrounding counties. A complete agenda of the tour can be seen at this of flee. The Earl Blake family and the Noel Dobyns family of lone "gypsied" to Ditch creek Sunday. The first copies of the 1958 Morrow County Planning Confer ence report came off the press this week. The copies of the prin ted report which outline prob lems and opportunities which farm and townspeople see in Morrow county are available at this office. In looking through the report, many recommendat ions made by the approximately 200 people on committees deal ing with all phases of our every day life are providing projects for many groups and organiza tions with many already realized. You can have a copy by stopping at this office. With the assignment to Ore gon of six International Farm Youth Exchange delegates for the coming summer, it makes it necessary to have some 20 or so host families. An IFYE will stay at each host farm from three to four weeks, working and en Joying American farm life. To date the Randall Martin family rrom tne Butlercreek community nas made application for an IFYE delegate to spend a month on their farm this summer. Oth ers interested can get further in formation and an application blank at this office. It is well to remember at this time of the year as cattle go on summer range that salt is im portant if cattle are to make the best gains from the beginning on through the year. It is most important to have salt on this range from the time that they are moved on so cattle will learn here salting stations are placed. Consumption of salt in the prlng and early summer is greater when forage is abundant nd succulent than when It is mature and dry. Loose salt Is best for range stock. Animals sat- sfy their needs more quickly Chats With Your Home Agent By ESTHER KIRMIS When you read this I'll be in the mid-west taking a short vacation and doing a stint of work for my church. I'll spend some time with my family In North Dakota and then I will be going to Valparaiso, Indiana, June 13-19 to assist my church (Lutheran Church-Missouri Syn od) in training youth caravaners. These caravaners are young peo ple between the ages of 16-20 who go out In teams and visit Lutheran congregations that need help with their youth pro grams. They are given a Week of In tensive training at our church university at Valparaiso and then sent out for a period of six weeks. My job is to teach them how to communicate the things to be done all through the house. This may involve car ing for plants and perishable foods, assembling a portable nur sery and many others. Usually a list points up activities which can be handled in advance, leav ing more time for last minute details. Here are Ideas for the home maker who wants a happier va cation and less last minute rush. Care For House Plants While on vacation, let house plants take care of themselves this new and surprisingly sim ple way with household saran film: 1. Group plants in a large card board box with sides a little higher than the plants. Place box in a well-lighted but not sunny area, near a north win dow is desirable. 2. Water plants well, using a soluble plant food in the water. 3. Cover the open top of the box with transparent saran film, using the 18 inch width if box is large. The wrap allows light to reach the plants, keps dust from leaves, and soil stays moist for at least three weeks because of reduced evaporation. Prepare A Car Kit Long before summer travels begin, set up a "mother's help er car kit a small box or travel case will do. Once packed keep the kit handy, always ready to pick up and take along. Items to have In case of small upsets include: First aid kit, bar of soap, wash cloth, comb, roll of transparent saran, extra camera film, nibble foods (non-perishable), flash light, extra batteries, extra tooth brushes, sun lotion, sewing need le, thread, assorted buttons, safe ty pins. If traveling with a baby small child, add these, baby'; dishes and silver, sterile nupples and bottle, vitamine bottle and dropper, toys, specials foods. Each of baby's items should be individually and carefully wrapped In transparent saran film. The roll of plastic wrap included in the kit will be close at hand for emergency lap cov ering, odor and moisturoproof wrap for soiled diapers, and emergency "rubber" pants. Care For Refrigerated And Baked Foods Refrigerated foods and fresh baked goods are the perishable foods most frequently on hand and likely to need special atten tion Just before vacation time Which of these foods must be eaten before departure? What can be done to preserve foods until the family returns? Cheese Wrap cheese carefully in transparent plastic film, press ing the wrap to the surface to remove air. Careful wrapping keeps cheese from drying out and retards mold growth.

If vacation extends over seven days, plan to use lettuce before leaving on the trip. Carrots and celery Rinse, wrap in transparent plastic to prevent loss of moisture. Refrig erate. If the family would enjoy carrot and celery sticks while traveling, prepare these vege tables ahead, then wrap in saran to retain crispness. Milk Fresh, homogenized milk may be stored in the freez er at zero degrees. Store in wax ed carton or in jar filled only 34 full to allow for expansion during freezing. Ice cream To prevent forma tion or crystals, overwrap par tially used cartons with plastic wrap before storing in the freez er.

Label with kind of rneat and date, then freeze. Baked goods Fresh cakes, un frosted or with butter frostings, fruit pies, cookies and bread may be wrapped in plastic wrap and stored in the freezer. Do not expect freezing to im prove the quality of the food, but, of food - is properly wrap ped, freezing will help retain the present quality until after the vacation trip.
