As (la most people who move here, we liked
Heppner (rum the day we arrived. And, that
fomlneM has continued to grow with the year . . .
to the point that It certainly Un't going to fade
ny as the coming years may go by. Running
a weekly newspaper la somewhat of a unique
profession . . . unique In the fact that, probably
more than In any other bulnea that we can
think of. the publishers are given the opportunity
to become ersonally acquainted with more
people of a community because they are con
stantly Inquiring Into everybody doing and
their comings and goings so the news of such
things can be told to all the rest of the people
who are their neighbors. Sometimes that news
is good, and we rejoice right along with them;
when Its not so good, we feel badly too. because
they are our friends all the people of Morrow
county.
In our nine years we have seen and reported
a lot of both kinds of newa and we've seen a
lot of changes made, too. We can't begin to
enumerate them and we're not even going to try.
but during that time we've seen Heppner grow.
Maybe our population censua didn't show m big
gain, but our town and our county has grown
In its general outlook and stature for it Is fast
becoming a leader rather than a follower. And,

To cultivate, or not to cul
rlvate. that is the Question". Or
at least this was the question
at the chemical summerfallow
weed control meeting held Mon
day afternoon at the fair pav
illon. While the sun was shining
bright and it was an excellent
afternoon to bo home working
on some farm project, 18 farmers,
along with almost that many
chemical manufacturers and
dealers, with representatives of
the college held n good discus
sion on the possibilities of chem
ical summerfallow. Chemicals
that have been developed of late,
are doing a nice Job for con
trolling cheat grass, rye, and
volunteer grain when used ac
cording to recommendations. Of
much interest to many is the
discoveries made on effective
control for rye In fence rows,
road right-of-ways and waste
land areas. A complete report
of the meeting and recommen
dation made will be found In a
news release elsewhere in the
paper.
Five uteer calves went on feed
early this week for fat steer pro
ject for the 1960-61 4-H club
year. Selecting steers at the John
Graves ranch last Saturday
afternoon were Bob Rice and
Kenneth Smousc, lone, each with
two calves and Ronnie Jones,
Heppner, with one steer. Judy
Jones, Heppner, selected a top
heifer which will be a start for
her in a beef breeding project.
This is the time of the year when
new 4-H clubs are being organ
ized or will be organized during
the next month or six weeks.
Those who are interested In Join
ing this youth program, are urg
ed to contact this office or the
411 leader in their community.
Tad Miller, Heppner and Ray
mond Lundell, lone, will par
ticipate in the selection of the
state Conservation Man of the
Year next week. The state selec
tion committee will hold their
tour on October 3, 4, and 5. They
will tour the county winners in
Sherman, Gilliam, Morrow, Uma
tilla, and Union counties. The
state winner will be picked from
the group of county winners with
presentation made at the annual
meeting of the Oregon wneat
Growers League which will be
held In Portland this year on
December 1, 2, and 3.

With huntine season being
only days away there have been
a number of ranchers who nave
called at the office to puck up
"Hunting By Permission" signs.
These signs, provided by the
Oreoon Game Commission, are
kept on hand or can be picked
up from Glenn Ward in Heppner.
The following is a reprint from
the July bulletin of the Califor
nia Hay, Grain and Feed Dealers
Association.
We thoucht it would be in
teresting at times like these
when evervone is conscious of
minute quantities.
"One part per million is writ
ten 0.0001. A one-gram needle
in a one-tone haystack is 1 ppm
A postage stamp is 1 ppm of the
weight of a person. One good
mouthful Is 1 ppm of all of the
food a person eats in a lifetime.
In distance, one inch is 1 ppm
in 16 miles. Walk half a block
and you have gone 1 ppm of the
distance around the world. A
quarter of a mile Is 1 ppm of the
distance to the moon. One sheet
of newspaper In a pile 330 feet
high Is 1 ppm of the pile. Lay
your hand on the ground, it
covers 5 ppm of an acre. A drop
in a bucket Is 5 ppm. 1 ppm is
one minutes in two years. Read
ing this article takes 1 ppm of
your lifetime.
After reading this, I hope it
gives you an idea of Just how
little a ppm is but how much
fuss it can cause. Because of
these infinitesimal amounts,
there are people who would
rather starve to death at 35 than
to die of chemical poisoning at
95".
Increased Costs
Of Production
Squeeze Farmers
Cost of producing farm pro
ducts, highest In history last
year, shows no signs of slack
ening its climb, reports Mrs
Elvera Horrell, extension agri
cultural economist at Oregon
State College. As a result, the
cost-price squeeze has tighten
ed its grip on farmers in Oregon
and over the nation.
Farm production expenses
have risen steadily the last 6
years, Mrs tiorren iounu as one
studied reports from the U S
department of agriculture. And,
these expenses seem likely to
continue upward thl year.
Farmer may x,ml a wue
!-& for livestock and feed, and
even total wage paid hired la
bor may be kept down by using
lent help. But no let down Is
hked fur In price of good
made by Industry, and Interest
payment and proK-rty taxes re
likely to be up harply, Mrs nor-
rell said.
Meanwhile, farmer in Oregon
are eel tine about the same amout
of money from sale of their pro
ducts as last year, Mrs Horrell
also found. The state's farmers
have received less from sales
of livestock and livestock pro
duct so far this year, but more
from sales of crops.
Nationally, receipts from sale
of farm nroducts the first half
of this year were down one per
cent from a year earlier, frlces
re eenerallv lower. Mrs Horrell
said, but markctincs to date have
been a little heavier than a year
go.
Putting all of this together as
of mid June, prices received by
farmers were 2' 4 percent below
a year earlier while prices paid
by farmers were a little higher.
This nriee-cost soueeze forced the
rmritv ratio the Eovernment's
'yardstick for measuring the re-
lationshlo between prices receiv-
ed to prices paid by farmers
down 2 points below a year ago
but still higher than at the start
of this year.
Incomewise, farm people also
slid behind last year, in con
trast to incomes of off farm
people which picked up. At an
average of $5 for each farm
person, the net per-f arm person
income was down 7 percent from
inri8 The averaee income of the
non.farm person, at 52216 In 1959,
was more than double that of the
farm person.
