Because of the lack of representative membership in past years, It has been necessary for the group to continually solicit funds with which to carry on many of Its functions, such as providing Christmas dec orations for the town, providing prize money for the rodeo parade, pay off its rodeo field lighting bonds and the financing of Its many other act ivities. Under its new membership plan, If a aufflc lent number of firms become active or associate members (at an annual charge of either $60 or $2S) the chamber hopes to be able to finance all its operations without having to resort to special solicitations. An associate membership of $25 a year, actually is mighty little to put into an organization that Is doing Ita best to promote the town and county. A chamber deserves much better support than Just about one-third of the businesses in town-It should have nearly 100 If It 1 to do 'osfwho do not belong to the Chamber of Commerce will soon be asked to do so, and uToM that each will take a part In this organli that I. working for one No chamber can do a 100 percent Job on only 33 percent support Heartbreak's Child- The child you help when you .Join the New March of Dimes has been called Heartbreaks ChllHe may have a serious birth defect-perhaps his plnT dVld not close properly-and he spends his days in a wheel chair.

These will be held early this spring with no def inite date set yet Time and place will depend upon enroll ment which Is now open to any one interested in wishing to learn how to shear sheep. John Frizzell, Wasco county agent is planning a school at The Dalles this spring if at least 16 per sons enroll. These schools must be held where there are facil ities for 16 to shear at one time with about 200 head of sheep available for practicing on. Any one who is at least 15 years of age Interested in learning how to shear may get an application blank from this office. The school will last 2 days. Those from this county who have attended such schools in the past have learned the basic fundamentals of shearing. Last week we asked farmers who were interested in helping us keep a rain record in the various communities to let us hear from them. Two farmers volunteered to provide monthly precipitation records. They are Raymond Lundell, lone and Harry Proudfoot, Echo. Mr Proudioot informed us that he had a four year rainfall record with 9.49 Inches in 1956; 16.85 In 1957; 12.43 in 1958 and 9.57 in 1959. We are hoping to get more volunteers from commun ities throughout the county. Details will be released next week as plans now have been made for the annual weed con trol meeting to be held on Tues day, February 2. The meeting will be held at the fair pavilion annex from 10 a m to 4 p m. Rex Warren, farm crops spec ialist and Dean Swan, weed re search man from Pendleton ex periment station will be on the program. Rex Warren will dis cuss control of weeds on road side and fence rows, rye control, new selective sprays for wild oats and newest control prac- tlces for all perennial noxious weeds. Dean Swan will review morning glory control work in the Columbia Basin, Dring xarm r nn to date on annual sel ective wheat and barley spray ing and outline work being done on chemical summer fallow and selective control of cheat in grain. Enrollments began coming in early this week for the soils short course which will be given on February 4. 5, 11 and 12. Rvn thoueh the letter was sent out late last week there were a number of enrollments receiv ed on Monday. Those who had Anmiift bv Tuesday when this was written were Raymond Lun dell, Bob Rletmann, tan mc Cabe, Charles Carlson, John Proudfoot and Louis Carlson, lone; Max Barclay and W W Weatherford. Heppner. The short course will cover many phases of soils, soil testing, rertmzers, tillage and management If you are interested and have not yet registered do so now. We have d(Utinnl reclstratlon cards at the office If you did not receive one in the mall or have lost It. A nhone call will be sufficient If you are not coming to town. Last week's weekly produc tion, price and cost review re-, port mailed from the ag econ omists office at the college, In dicates that wheat still leads. The ten leading crops In Oregon, hnrt nn 1959 value of produc tion, are wheat, hay, barley, po tatoes, strawberries, pears, rye grass seed, snap beans, cherries, and green peas. That was the same a, last year's list except that green peas nosed out oats Ma vpur for tenth place, and there was some reshuffling In order of Importance. These ten prorjs account for about Ji oi Oregon's total crop value. Listed in the Red Bluff bull sale catalog recently received at this office are four Husker Mis chief bulls consigned by Herbert Ekstrom and Sons, lone. All are sired by Husker Mischief 87, the m hull that has done so much for this herd. This sale uMMi h become the largest Mrrhoct nunlitv ranee bull sale In America has 349 horned and polled Hereford bulls; 86 Angus and 40 Shorthorn duiis cons.sneu for sale. The sale is scheduled for February 4, 5 and 6. Talking about bulls I thought that the quality of the 39 bulls consigned to the bull trading day last Friday as a part of the annual meeting of this Mor row county Livestock Growers Association were of excellent quality. Some were better than others, however, none were so poor but what they could not Improve most of our herds. All STAR THEATER Thurs TiU Scrt. Jan. 21. 2X 23 The Big Circus Victor Mature.

While Morrow county has few turkey breeders those few will ho Interested, as well as others, In some comments taken from a rpnnrt of tho recently held 1900 National Turkey Federation con vention. While many of our farmers have attended numer ous national conventions I think they would be surprised to hear that there were 550 turKey rais-1 ers registered at this annual con vention held In Minneapolis, Minnesota In early January. Forty-eight west there from Ore gon. Oregon had 7 booths adver tising their turkey Industry. Dave Cooper of western Oregon won the grand and reserve champions of the dressed turkey show which indicates that the quality of our turkeys, like many of our other commodities, is ex cellent. u'hiu manv of us consider the poultry grower In a dirt polt- Ion Income wb. evidently u( is not so. Noel Bennlon, Oregon c... r..iw Doultrv specialist reports that he had never at tended a convention ..... mnrh ontlmlam and he contributed it to the atrong fin- Ish of the turkey marnei inis The demand for hatching eggs and poults at this convention far exceeded me sup ply with Oregon breeders and hatcheries all sold out before the convention ended. Commercial n.nii with booths reported that they had never done so much business at a convention, i. ...... rnnnrted that the supply of breeder hens will be the only thing to prevent a substantial in novt vear's crop. It was interesting to note that this federation give away mm .fia fnr door orlzes. While it doe, not seem mink stoles are related to the turkey Industry r am anro that this could be drawing card for a lot of wives at such a convention. Mr Ben nlon reports that Oregon turkey growers have developed an en viable reputation as being a close-knit group where compet itors In all branches of the in dustry travel together, talk busl ness and have a good time. Kenneth Smouse, lone rancher and registered Palouse and Yorkshire hog breeder nas re heen aDDolnted a mem ber of the advisory committee of the Oregon swine testing sta tion, built with funds provided by the Oregon Wheat Commis slnn una oDened in late October 1959.

Applications for these tvun tst Deriods will be taken from February 10 to March 25 for the spring test; August iu to September 25 for the fall test. Weaner pigs will be accep ted If they meet entrance re quirements which include litter size 8 pigs weaned; weaning weight at 56 days, the litter weighing 275 pounds if farrowed by guilts; 325 pounds from sows and if the herd from which these pigs came pass certain health requirements which specify that there cannot be Rhinitis, Lep- HIFFNEX OA2ETTE-TIME8.

Oregon's goal for minimum growth requirements is an av erage dally gain of 16 pounds which will mean that these hogs on test will reach zoo pounus or more In 88 days. At the end of the feed period a field day will be held and a sale of the certified boars Is planned. Per formance requirements win n-u to be met and all boars sold will have a record of perfor mance for information of the buyers.
