Single Copy 10 Cent. From The County Agent's Office By N C ANDERSON A group of Morrow county swine producers Including Ken neth Peck Millard Nolan, Bill Nichols, Lyle Cox and Gene Cuts forth attended an educational meeting sponsored and held by Pendleton Grain Growers Tues day of this week. During the day the various speakers stressed the importance of efficient swine production and management if a grower is to stay In business and compete In the generally low prices we are now having, It was amply pointed out by experienced hog growers that there is still a profit In hogs for those who operate their enter prise efficiently. Ilillis Newman, a hog producer from Fremont, Nebraska who Is lso president of the Newway Manufacturing Company which manufactures a farrowing crate invented by him, outlined his efficient hog enterprise. Those hearing Mr Newman agreed that he had many of the same prob lems that every swine producer has In getting started in the business. It was gratifying to note that Mr Newman's enter prise production figures were comparable to those that a Mor row county planning conference least eight farrowings. One of the reasons behind this is the fact that once they are proven, an older sow kept can be ex pected to produce more pork through heavier pigs at farrow ing and heavy milk production which makes bigger pigs at weaning time. Mr Newman pointed out that a little pig weighing 3 pounds at birth will weigh six pounds more at weeks and 16 pounds more at 6 weeks than one weighing pounds at birth. In his comments on sanitation, It was Interesting to note that baby pigs are being used by baby food manufactur ers to test their products, the baby pigs digestive system par alelling a baby's digestive sys tern closer than any other ani mal Vic Johnson, Umatilla county agent, outlined progress and plans for the Oregon swine test ing station which Is now nearly completed and will begin oper atlon by November 1. It Is lo cated at the Umatilla Branch Experiment Station at Hermiston and will be available to all swine producers throughout the state for proginy testing of swine. Ap committee found and presented at the conference a year and a half ago. While much of Mr Newman's presentation was of well known facts in the hog Industry, those attending listened to these facts coming from an experienced hog producer. It was Interesting to me to hear that this producer kept proven brood sows for at TO THE EDITOR ever CALF SHOT ON RANGE To The Editor: I didn't think it could happen, but it did. How anyone could mistake a big white-faced calf for a deer is more than I can understand. A couple of weeks ago, my son and I bought 50 head of 400 pound white-faced Qalves. With In ten days, circling crows In dlcated something In a ditch on the range. Investigation proved mat someone had shot a steer calf on the edge of a ditch and the calf had fallen into it. We thought it had been shot with high powered rifle and two of fleers verified our suspicions, It appears that some fellow had forgotten the date of the opening of deer season, and per haps thought it best to do it at night with the aid of a spotlight That calf cost us $130.00 and If I were In such a fix as this pred ator, I would Just put $130.00 in a plain envelope and mail it to the owner and not reveal my Identity. That might appease his conscience and the owner even though It might not satisfy tne orricers. That calf Is begin ning to smell and that smell could get a lot stronger within the next few weeks. If the fellow who shot that calf doesn t do something about lt; his conscience is going to hea that calf bawl for a good manv nights to come. The bullet that killed that calf fits somebody's rule. J O Turner Chats With Your Home Agent By ESTHER KIRMIS My sister, Adelheid. from North Dakota is visiting me these days and together We are seeing more of the state of Ore gon. She came by train to Van couver, Wash on Saturday, Sep tember 5, where I met her at the home of my mother's cousin, who lives In Vancouver. We spent Labor Day weekend with them and took In the Ore gon Centennial and such sights around Portland as the Grotto, the new zoo, and the Pittock mansion things I have wanted to see for some time. We especially enjoyed the "Oregon Story" presented at the centennial arena. The pageantry, the colorful costumes, the horse drawn carriages and covered wa gons, the automobiles and mo tor cycles, the scenery back drops, and the effective lighting all made It a spectacular pre sentation. The 30 episodes (be ginning with Queen Elizabeth and Sir Frances Drake up to ouf modern age) presented on seven different stages, was to me a fitting climax of all the Oregon history I have been absorbing this past year, From the files of the Gazette-Times September 19. 1929 Mrs Bert Mason of lone was happily surprised on Friday ev ening when a few of her friends came to help her celebrate her birthday.

By 1940, the fame of Peterson's Rock Garden had spread and visitors became so numerous that Mr Peterson quit farming entirely and devot ed himself to the garden. Death came to Mr Peterson in 1952. Few men, however, have left a finer monument. Today Peterson's rock garden stands as a memorial to a man who lived with beauty; It was his life. Where ever I travel in Oregon I'm impressed by the contrasts in scenic beauty, in climate, and terrain. It's quite a state! I now have a personal tele nhone in mv apartment.
