TO THE
EDITOR . . .
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

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.

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.

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

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. Re-

Lettuce and cabbage Remove
any withered leaves and signs of
decay. Rinse greens lightly, and
dry off excess moisture using a
paper towel. Wrap carefully in
saran film. Store in refrigerator
crisper. 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. Meat Fresh meats should be
eaten if they have been held in
the refrigerator for a period of
time. Or cook meat, wrap In
transparent saran film, and seal
with freezer tape. 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
