VISITORS Should anyone have any doubts that Ore gon's Centennial is drawing out-of-state visitors, they need only to take a short drive over any of the state's major highways such as 30 or 99. Except In the vicinity of towns, an Oregon license is almost a novelty. Last weekend this writer made the trip to Portland to take In the exposition and while trav eling highway 30 the number of out-of-state licenses seen was almost unbelievable. We didn't keep any actual count on the trip, but it Is pretty safe to say that over 50 of all cars on the highway were from someplace other than Oregon. California is predominant and we would guess that at least half of ail visitors are from our southern neighbor state. Next in order comes Washington followed, according to our unofficial count, by Montana, Idaho, Utah and Texas. Near ly every state was represented and we even saw a couple of licenses from Great Britain. Canada hasn't overlooked us either, with British Columbia, quite naturally, leading the field. If each of these carloads of visitors will stay in the state just two days, it isn't hard to estimate that they are going to leave a great many mil lions of dollars In Oregon by the end of the sum mer. It's Just too bad that we didn't have the foresight to have a sales tax in operation by this summer the state's finances would certainly have been better off. Speaking of the Centennial Exposition, we had our first look at It last weekend and we weren't disappointed in the least. We won't try to describe it, for it has been done by many at great lengths, but we felt it was well worth the trip. We doubt that anyone could work their way through the trade fair without finding something of particular interest to them. The trade fair too, by the way, will remain for the duration of the exposition. from tho filet of the Gazette-Times July 25, 1929 Klnnard McDanlel ret u r n e d from Montana last week, where he has been shearing sheep. A very pleasant afternoon was enjoyed at Mrs Galey Johnson's Friday, July 19 when she enter tained in honor of her sister-in-law, Mrs Marcus Hendriz and niece Betty Jo who were visiting her from Astoria. Miss Reita Neel of Heppner will be queen of the 1929 Hepp ner Rodeo, according to announ cement made today by C W Mc Namer, president of the rodeo association.

TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: A short time ago at lone, the County Agent's News By N C ANDERSON A new bulletin entitled "Shrln kage Is Important" published by the Montana State College re Republican State Chairman. Mr cently came to my desk. It is Peter M Gunnar of Salem, saw an excellent one explaining cat fit to say that the issue facing tie shrinkage and the factors voters in the second congression- which affect both buyer and sel al district in I960 would be Al Ullman's "prolonged vacation In Washington at taxpayers ex pense."

Those of cessor. us who have watched our pres ent congressman's accomplish ments and compared them to records of our past representa tion know how untrue and dis honest such charges are.

Here In Heppner we have re ceived word that funds are be- jing provided to secure a study !of the much needed flood con trol dam above this city that has been agitated for over many years. Mr Ullman's predecessor was unable in four years to get any such recognition of a possi ble need for this very vital work. Our Congressman nas an al most perfect attendance record and I would like to point out that Mr Hoffa and Dave Beck are and have always been Re publicans and Republican sup porters, not friends of Al Ull man's. We resent the coupling of Al's name with them In view of this fact and the fact that both supported President Elsen hower for election and re-elec tion. I know of no surer way to secure Al's election than to con tinue such outragtous charges. Al Lamb dltions as well as price gim micks, kinds of shrink, weight changes during the day, alter native sale methods, and tricks in the trade. Each year we hear of a number of different weigh ing conditions in cattle bought or sold. Those who are not sure of shrinkage and how to deter mine a good selling deal would do well to get a copy and study It. We have ordered additional bulletins which we should re ceive soon. We have known for some time that Morrow county was highly productive as far as the many commodities which we grow, however, we found out this past week that there Is another crop that does exceptionally well. This new crop is pond-reared Kamloops trout. 1V4 - 2 Inch trout released May 9 in ponds at the Don Greenup ranch have reach ed 5V4 t0 6 Inches In slightly over two months since their re lease. Trout normally are expec ted to grow 1 inch per month. At this pace trout raising will be interesting where released In the dozen or more ponds here in the county. Approximately 15,000 were planted this spring which will make a lot of good eating with this rate of growth for late this fall and early next spring. Many ranchers unhappy with this year's barley support prices will be consoled by the report that barley supplies throughout the country are somewhat small er than usual. California's 1959 barley crop Is expected to be fully a tenth lighter than last years which was a small one too. Mid-west barley is reported damaged from drought, insects and disease to the extent that quality is expected to be reduced, With this picture in mind per haps barley prices will stay sub stantially above the support price as demand strengthens la ter this fall. It would be a good Idea to put barley under loan and keep your eye on market prices.

Chats With Your 1 Home Agent By ESTHER KIRMIS I experienced quite a thrill last Sunday I saw Lawrence Welk and his champagne music makers in person at the Portland exposition. I have long been a Lawrence Welk fan even be fore he began his famous TV series. You see, Lawrence was born and raised In my home state of North Dakota and I can remember when he used to play over WNAX, the Yankton, South Dakota radio station. His TV program soon became a family favorite of all the mid west people who remembered him, and all the other people in the country who like to listen to his danceable music. The temperature was swelter ing in the Portland arena, but I would estimate that 3500 saw him during the first Sunday afternoon performance. The sale of hand fans skyrocketed as everyone purchased and fanned in time with the toe-tapping mu sic of Welk's men. There was some disappoint ment when Mr Welk announced that Alice Lon, the Little cham pagne lady, and the Lennon sis ters had not accompanied him. (Alice Lon has quit the show, I hear, and the Lennon sisters had an engagement at Atlantic City). But three young members of his junior band accompanied him and helped make the show, which was patterned pretty much after his TV shows, a great success. summer "battle with bugs" has been published by Oregon State College extension service. The illustrated 12 page booklet, "Veg etable Garden Insect Pests," con tains drawings and descriptions of insects, describes the damage they do, and lists pest control measures.

Even Ore gon's governor, Mark Hatfield, will speak at this convention. A tour to Hawaii is planned after the convention for those who wish to continue their travel. Members of the editing com mittee of the "Morrow County History" met last Friday with members of the county commit tee in the Lexington Grange hall to read to them the fruits of their re-editing. The editing com mittee has really worked hard to include all outstanding events that made Morrow county what it is today. It will be printed by early fall, but plans are made to sol icit orders for this history at both the Morrow county fairs In Heppner and Boardman so that an estimate can be made of how many copies need to be printed. Copies will sell for $1.00. As soon as the publicity plans got underway an order blank will be inserted in the Gazette Times so that you may order them directly if you wish.

AYERS PEST CONTROL Phone 8-7133 lone From where I sit ... ly Joe Marsh Dad's a "Budding" Genius Time to start planting flowers again, so here's a few details about the Fowler Garden Pres ervation System. Youngsters used Dad Fowl er's garden as a short cut to the playground. He had a tough time keeping them out until he started a new system. He called the small fry to gether and had them print their names on cards. The cards were put on stakes near every clump of flowers. Right away, each kid began to root for "his" particular plants to come up first, voluntarily kept tres- -and passers oil "his" area Dad's garden thrived! From where I sit, there's a system for just about every thing . , , even for getting along with people! The best one I know is tolerance. It means re specting your neighbor's pref erences as well as your own. For instance, I prefer an oc casional glass of beer with dinner. You may like Iced tea.
