National Farm Safe ty Week Is a campaign to pre vent accidents among farm fam ilies. It could not come at a better time of the year. Records show that farm accidents occur much more often when people are in a hurry such as every one is at the time of the yera when it is harvest time. The old adage that "haste makes waste" holds true here. The 1959 theme is "Safety Makes Sense." The objective of Farm Safety Week is to estab lish safety In farm living not only during this week but every day in the year. Everyone in the nation is affected directly or Indirectly by the farm accident toll. The victims and their fam ilies, however, suffer the greatest loss.

HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday, July IB, 1959 Bob Allstott, Tindall Roblson, Frank Fraters and Egbert Young were-Eight Mile, farmers in the city on Tuesday getting ready for the harvest Lexington News depressing cattle on the market, he reports. Marketings of cattle off grass will pick up some during the fall, but are likely to remain a smau er than-usual part of the total beef supply, Thomas Deneves. Meanwhile, the supply of fed beef is expected to stay relativ ely large, keeping the price spread narrower than usual be tween the lower anu mgn grades of beef. Strong and rising consumer de mand will give firm support to beef prices through the summer, but Thomas says he doubts if fpeder cattle prices will show the upward trend of the past two years. Higher prices oi nay, poorer pastures, and large sup ply and lower prices of pork and poultry all are against a runner rise. Probably the best cow prices of the current cycle already have been seen.

This article outlines one of the many methods which have been used successfully to avoid stub ble trouble. We would be happy to mail a copy to you if you are Interested. While we have got off to a good start in number of fires there is still the threat unless everyone is careful. A fire last week in the Sandhollow area was put out by quick action of sev eral neighbors without much loss. A range fire in the Board- man area last Sunday destroyed 2500 acres of range. There are bound to be fires each day as grass and grain matures with the warm weather we have been having the past week. This fire could easily be on your farm un less precautions are made to pre vent or quickly control them. As a result of the rural volun animals', is the basic cause of Ted Horning to .stubble- accidents. In nearly every case human failure to recognize and correct a hazard Is the cause of accidental death and Injury. Hu man failures include hurry, lack of common sense, improper equipment, Improper care and use of equipment, procrastinat ion, false confidence, lack of knowledge. Obviously common, if not all, farm accidents can be prevented. By making reg ular safety inspections of home, buildings, fields, machinery and equipment, work habits and at titudes farm people can prevent accidents. The week of July 19 to 25 Is the time to do some thinking of how you might pre vent accidents on your farm. Re member "Safety Makes Sense" by causing fewer deaths, few er injuries, less expense and less grief and suffering. On Tuesday the agent had the opportunity along with a num ber of farm people and busi ness men In Morrow county to participate in a tour to study the effects the pool created by the John Day dam will have on our county. Representatives of the U S Army Corps of Engineers dealings with the various phases of the dam were present to load the tour of the area and to dis cuss the effects. While my main interest was the effect on agri culture It was Interesting to see the opportunities the pool will provide which will in my opinion greatly offset the disadvantages of the losing some of the better farm land in the Boardman area. There will be some of the best opportunities provided by any of the dam pools for the develop ment of industry and recreation in the area. Of particular inter est to me was the plans for de velopment of the pool which will flood the Willow Creek valley for a distance of approximately 2 miles. This will be a deep pool protected by hills with easy ac cess from highways 30 and 71. The Corps of Engineers told if that this would be one of the most ideal boating and water skiing areas created by any dam, Their plans call for development of picnic facilities at tills place which should be welcomed by our people who must now go many miles to enjoy sucn lacu Hies. For those who are interes ted in the pool boundaries we have a map in the office show ing these. i Tntlllnn cnrnliia fnr hfpnnllim sor or tne political reiresner - oii onri will nnenrdlntr to just ended July 1, compared to mulch a field covered by 12,000 , present plans, make several ap- tne expectea fuo.uuu. pounds per acre of wheat straw, pearances In Oregon under the The dark cloud on the picture Even though it appears now that sponsorship of Oregon Republi- ls th?

PERENNIAL JOB SLACK There were 3,142 new claims for unemployment pay last week, the State Department of Employ ment said Monday. This ls con siderably lower than the 5,411 of a year ago.

Mr Beecher field representa After a moderate seasonal rise this summer, hog prices are ex pected to take another dip this fall. Hog-feed price ratios have been favorable enough to cause a further expansion in pig crops. This will boost the supply of pork this fall and next spring still more. By next spring, prices probably will be low enough to discourage some producers. Throughout the period, prices on the Pacific Coast should stay a mone the highest in the nation, but will rise and fall with prices in the Midwest.
