County cattlemen took advan
tage of the Earnest Sire Here
ford Production Sate last week
by purchasing boili bulla and
females from thU herd. Prices
were good we believe due to the
demand for production tested
IhW cattle. The Sires Stanfleld
herd has been on progeny teat
from I he beginning of the time
that thla program was accepted
by biH-f men In Oregon. Those
from Morrow County who we
have heard have bought cowa,
hi1 1 firs, and bulls were Fiddle
and Jerry Brosnan, W. K. Hughe.
Randall Martin, Floyd Jones, and
Paul Webb nil Heppner.
Recent Kales of production
testeel herd sires throughout the
country have been reported to
bring an average of one hundred
dollars over thos. with no gain
test. Hanchers are paying more
for this type of breeding stock

is hereditary and that these kind
of animals will pass theso char

ment of private woudland. Dur
ing the day the value of pruning
and thinning forct Hand for
highest lumber production was
outlined and known. I received
quite an education In the dem
onstration of various equipment
on the market now to make the
once tedious job of pruning and
thinning a real snap. Five dif
ferent companies demonstrating
quite an array of labor saving
equipment surely made play out
of these management chores
compared to the old method of
axe and pruning saw.
The "show" was so interesting
and the story illustrated so im
portant to private timber owners
that some of us think it might
be well received by Morrow
County private timber owners. If
arrangements can be made we
will plan such a demonstration
here sometime soon.
While rabbits are of not much
significance, econmlcally, in Mor
row County there are quite a
number each year for meat and
as pets. TJio.se who are engaged
in this Industry will be Interested
in a new bulletin Just off the
press entitled, "Rabbit Diseases
and Parasites." The bulletin Is
well Illustrated and goes Into a
number of common diseases and
parasites that the rabbit raiser
encounters. We would be glad
to provide a copy for you if
you would contact our office.
In the lt official election
there was to be voted upon, a
special ballot to give or not to
give to the governing body of
the county, the authority to pro
reel with adopting coning ot
land use ordinances. The ballut
read: "Shall the County Court
or Board of County Commission
ers for the County of Morrow
State of Oregon, be authorized to
enact toning and land use reg
ulatlons?"
Unfortunately the measure
lost. It was unfortunate because
It leaves the County Court with
nut enabling legislation. It
leaves the County Court without
the authority to carry out any
development pattern previously
adopted by the planning com
missions. As the law reads, coun
ties may now exercise control
in all areas outside of the limits
of Incorporated cities by the cre
ation of a planning commission

It was this authority we asked
for in the special ballot. No
doubt, I was the one who flubbed
It all by not getting out suf
ficient information as to what
it was all about. I am very sorry
for this. I deem it very Important
that we have the authority lo
act on valid recommendations. I
deem it so Important that we
probably will have to again ask(
for the said authority in a spec- (
i:il election. Wo may be able to
combine it with some other mat
ters that will be coming up for
I a vote by the people, it is not
a tax matter. Only cost win De
something for the election.
That there will be develop
ment coming to Morrow County
Is Inevitable. Industrial develop
ment to be sure. If it will not
be sooner, it will be later. But
that is neither here nor there.
The time for a look into the
future is here. County-wide zon
ing has been authorized in Lane,
Multnomah, and Wasco counties.
Countv rianning Commissions
have been established in many
other counties. It is all well un
er way here in Morrow County
and I am sure that the good
people here will see to it that
we have an effective organiza
ion for application of land use
regulations.
