The Chomber Deserves Support
The Hcppner-Morrow County Chamber of
Commerce will shortly Hart Ha most concerted
membership drive In many yeart nd local busl
nesses and professional people ahould give fen
ulne consideration to becoming either an active
or associate member of thli organization that
Is making a sincere effort to promote Heppner
and the county. ,
For quite a number of yeara the chamber
entire program has been carried on by only one
third of the possible membership a burden that
shou'd be borne by all. because everybody gains
from the services of the chamber. 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

Plans are being made again
for holding eheep shearing
schools a, in past year, through
out the state. 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

In America has 349 horned and

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

While Morrow county has few

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. The facilities for 30 pens
of 4 litter mates each for test
in i located at the Umatilla
branch experiment station in
Hermlston.
&t a mpetlne of interested
swine producers held last Friday
afternoon at witnycomDe nan
at Oregon State College a num
ber of important decisions were
made and plans outlined for the
operation of the station, inose
nresent aereed that there would
be two testing periods each year
with hogs to be started on test
hotwpen the dates of April 15
and May 15 In the spring and
October 15 to November 15 in
the fall. 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-

prior to delivery at the station.
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. At the same time car
cass data evaluation will be ob
talned of the market hog, In
each pen.
At present there are 16 pens
of 4 litters mates each on test
at the station for this lirst per
ia nhih .iil end on approx
imately April 1. Included in the
test are 3 pens of Yorkshires, 4
of Palouse, 1 of Hampshire, 2 of

WORK MORE
Chevy's new torsion springs and Sturdl-Bilt design
art changing everybody's ideas about how much
work a truck can do. Last year's schedules are
out-Chevrolet trucks ride faster over the rough
runs to get in more trips a day! Big repair bills
are no longer a problem Chevrolet trucks soak
up punishment that means downtime to other
makes! And trade-in time's put off for extra
thousand of miles '60 Chevrolet trucks stay
new like never before!
New Dollar-Saving Prices
Step-Vans, 4-Wheel Drives, many
light-duty models with automatic
transmissions all are lower
priced. Prices have also been
reduced on all optional V8's.
New Torsion-Spring Suspension
Eliminates I-beam shimmy and
wheel fight! With torsion
springs up front there's a
brand-new, smoother, easier
handling feel behind the wheel.
New rear suspensions include
wide-based coil springs in most
light-duty models; tougher
variable-rate leaf springs in
medium- and heavy-duty models.
Electronically Balanced Wheels
Front wheels and tires are bal
anced at the factory. Helps make
that new ride revolutionary!
New Cabs-Wider, Safer,
More Comfortable
Many models are a whole 7
inches lower (without sacrificing
road clearance), so it's easier to
hop in and out of cabs. Still
there's more space inside: more
room for hats and hips, more
foot room with suspended pedals.
Cabs are safer, too; new build
makes them 67 more rigid.
Plus Improvements
All Through the Line
A new steering linkage system
that cuts vibration, means better
control. There's new V8 effi
ciency. Sixes long famous for
saving. New key-turn starting.
Higher, wider visibility. Talk to
your Chevrolet dealer about the
world's most advanced trucks.
