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

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.

While emphasis during the day
had been put on the various
rations and feeding conditions.
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

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. Plans are be

are both young and older fruit
