MORROW COUNTY'S NKWIf Af II The Heppner Gazette, established March 30, 1883. The Heppaer Tinea established November It, 1897. Conaolldatcd February 19, 1912 NIWSMMI PUILIIHIII ASSOCIATION Published Every Thursday and Entered at the Post Office at Heppner, Oregon, as Second Class Matter Subscription Rates: Morrow and From The County Agent's Office Bf If C During the Christmas holidays there prevails a general "easing up" of things, or at least a few of us try to believe that is the way it should be. II you are one of the persons that can find time to sit down, do some read ing and perhaps a little plan ning, this would be an excellent opportunity for you to make plans on your planting schedule for early spring. Some planning now will save valuable time next spring. If you are going to plant roses, for instance, you should get some catalogs or price lists and make up your mind how many, what kind you want and wnere you are going to get them, naming plans are very helpful especially where a number ol things are to be planted. This works equally as well for orna mental as it does .for vegetable. a..u u.u uii ..... w wui now and stake out just where a tree is to be planted because a shovel or stake set in the ground can give you the point lor sighting in. This is all very Important as you certainly don't want a hastily set tree to grow up and shut off a favorite view or maybe fall to shade the end of the house that got so hot last summer. A few carefully selected trees properly placed and plant ed can mean a great deal to any family home. They can make shade for the side of the house or shade for the back yard. They can frame a beautiful view. They can hide something not so beaut iful. They can fit into or mar the landscape according to the plan ning we do. In planning the planting of roses or fruit trees, be sure to give them plenty of room and don't put them where they will be In the way as they grow larger. These are some of the reasons for planning your plant' ings now. Planting plans remind us of the help we gave Mrs Anne Smouse, Heppner a few days ago In setting out a few fruit trees in her back yard in Hep. pner. Mrs Smouse bought three nicely started dwarf fruit trees that should produce her a little fruit this year and a lot next year. Started trees bought so as Mrs Smouse says, "not to lose any more years before I have fruit of my own." The trees were potted in five gallon pails so will not even know that they were transplanted. Since they were dwarf trees, Mrs Smouse can care for them heiself and they do not take up much room In her small back yard. The trees even though they are of dwarf variety will furnish plenty of fresh fruit for a good sized family. Oregon State College's E R Jackman is a hard man to keep down.

We are sure that a lot of his friends and some who don't even know him, if there are such people around, will want to be on hand to hear what he has to say. Visiting with Jack recently, he pointed out that we should be drumming away at range and pasture im provement programs stressing alfalfa more and more. He point ed out that alfalfa is important because 1. there is a tendency to increase protein in feeds, 2. a tendency to pay more attention to minerals and vitamins, 3. in most parts of the state, alfalfa produces more TDN's than any other crop. As land values and taxes soar, it will be necessary to grow all we can on each latio'n growS( we Jn 0regon m anro A aa Patiff nnaot r.iinn alm08t be forced to increase live- stock products, and 5. new mthH. nf ,ni ..hi. automatic feeding of pellets and wafers. It is likely that this will increase the demand for high protein hay, thus Improve de mand for alfalfa. Why don't you give some thought to your range and pas ture improvement program, then plan to hear Jack talk and an swer question! on this subject on January 16. If you get your paper early this week and this serves as a reminder you will still have time to get your application for re newal of your livestock brand in the mall on December 31 which is the deadline set by law. This is necessary if you are to retain the brand you now have recorded with the state department Ap plication should be addressed to the State Department of Agri culture, Division of Animal In dustry, Salem. Recently we visited with some young farm people about a col lege education. Two of these in dicated that they were much In terested in agriculture but be cause of the decreasing farm population there was no oppor Unities any longer in agriculture and therefore, they were debat ing what their college major would be. We have heard other youth discussing this In the past year or two and were quite In terested in a statement which one of the deans of agriculture in a large college had to say about this just recently. We quote, "despite a decreasing farm population there are twice as many new Jobs in agriculture each year as there are agricul tural college graduates to fill them. Farming itself," the dean points out, "is only one of eight major fields in agriculture which also includes agricultural re search, industry, business, edu cation, communications, conser vatlon and services. Agriculture as a whole employs about 26 million of the 65 million employ ed In this country. Of these eight million work on farms, seven million produce goods and ser vices, 11 million process and dls tribute farm products, and i half million serve In the field of science. The eight fields would employ 15,000 new col lege graduates annually If they were available but the land grant colleges presently grad uate only about 7000 young men and women each year.

Although farm popu lation is decreasing and will con tinue to decrease, farming itself will be an increasingly impor tant occupation, and those en gaged in it will need to be more highly trained than ever." We could add to this that agriculture will need all of the scientific research possible in view of the rapidly increasing population. The big American family keeps growing and growing. A few days ago the census bureau re ported the total national pop ulation now stands at 179 mil lion. By next spring it is expected to reach 180 million.
