Near S.niJ In Northern Canada, MmfUme during l'MA, the dull thud of an underground nuclear ex plosion may be the only outward evidence of a tremendous ronvuUlon far beneath the earth. The explosion may unlock aomo 300 billion bar rel of oil trapped In a strance depoMt known as the Athabasca sands. The Importance of this experiment can be Judged from the fact that the entire proved oil reserves of the world pres ently amount to some 273 billion barrels. In this Athabasca deposit, each grain of sand is coated with oil so sticky that no way has been found to separate It. so It can be pumped from the earth. Now, an oil exploration company Is drilling a 36 Inch hole. 1200 to 1400 feet, through the overburdened and some 200 feet of oil sand and rock, down Into the underlying layer of limestone. An atomic explosion, of from 2 to 10 kllotons In size, will be set off at this point. It's expected that the surrounding mass of rock will From The County Agent's Office BTNC A new Idea In orchard plant Intrs for the person living on i city lot came to our attention recently. The Item pointed out that even a small garden can support some fruit bearing trees or shrubs which will serve two purposes. They can add to the appearance of the garden wnen they flower or are laden witn ripening fruit and they serve an economic purpose as well giving fruit for fresh or canned desserts. Many backyard gardener has turned to dwarf fruit trees when space Is limited or because dwarf trees are easier to care for yet produce enough fruit for the av erage size family. The new in ovation Is setting three trees In one hole. As they grow, cross pollnatlon accomplished and the clump looks like one tree. This provides three different varieties of apples in the same space that it took to grow one. Those who have experimented with this say they like it much better than growing three varieties of apple on one grafted trunk. Now Is a good time to plant all fruit trees. A good trio of cherries to plant together might be Koyal Ann, Lambert and Blng. A pop ular apple Is the new Clarrlch strain of Delicious originated at Teshastln, Washington. Well over 100 persons from Eastern Oregon and Washington with some from the western parts of these states, attended the Mllton-Freewater beef trial field day on Monday of this week. The program covered the many different phases of the trial including the affect of anti biotics and tranquilizers on the adjustment of weaner steers to feed lot conditions; results of rations cn different size steers and comparisons of tho various types of rations fed. Also dis cussed were various levels of grain for profitable beef feed ing, values of various roughages for wintering and fattening weaner steers, hormone implant ations for wintering fat steers, values of various protein sources and variation In performance of cattle on similar rations. Results of these various phases will be available soon in mim eographed form. Copies will be available from this office. Dr J C Miller .head of the dairy and animal husbandry, department, Oregon State College participa ted in the field day making comments that should be of In terest to all livestock operators.

Dr Miller pointed out that there were differences of one fourth and one-third pound daily gains within tho same cattle compar ing top with bottom gainers. He stressed the need for selection for gaining ability and that nt least one-half the gain Is attrib uted to Inheritance. He pointed out the need for keeping ade quate records and that the cattle man Is not making tne oesi use of his finances, time and efforts if he Is not getting top gains possible. He stressed the need for progeny testing, pointed out that beef production Is going to become more competitive as years go by. In recommending beef men buy bulls or Known productive ability, he pointed out Instances where ranchers ure getting a five to seven cent premium over average market price for their calves from herds of known productive ability. Attending the field day from Morrow county were: Robert ret erson, lone; Kenneth Palmer, Lexington and the agent. Arrangements are being made at this time for some pruning demonstrations to be held on March 8 and 9. There will be a pruning demonstration at the Bob Smith farm near Irrigon on Tuesday afternoon, March 8 with demonstrations scheduled for the morning and afternoon of the 9th in the Heppner area. A demon stration in pruning an old apple orchard will be held at the Blaine Chapel farm near Hard man at 9:30 a m, March 9th. No definite place has been scheduled for the afternoon dem onstration as yet.
