Haqer's Dairy Protests Act, Quits Receiving
urn,,,!, Ar-t administrator bv ! Elmer Heath
Moor'o Dairv has announced
that It has quit acting as receiver
for local dairymen as of July
15. They said the action was
due to "an administration of the
Milk Stabilization Act." A price
of $5.80 per 100 pounds of fluid
milk was established for dairy
men; Hager's have claimea since
the law became effective on June
15 that they could not pay their
12 dairymen this price because
they were not receiving enough
from the retailers to meet the
price.
Both the dairy' and the milk
producers involved have stated
that the market in the Umatilla
Morrow county area is competi
tive and that the price required
of handlers for dairymen should
be set lower than In the Portland
area, which can absorb the $5.80
per 100 pound minimum ordered.

Park Commission
Heppner Morrow County
Chamber of Commerce recom
mended to the county court Mon
day that a five-member county
park commission be appointed
bv the court to promote park
development in Morrow county.
Morrow County Jude Oscar
Yteron Indicated that the court
would consider the matter at
Its next meeting.
Peterson reported that the
"fhapln cretk ltk creek area
had been studied by the state
n a location for a state park.
The site considered would In
clude 40 acres of land owned by
the Kinzua Corp. and 40 acres
of privately-owned land. The
state would also want a protec
tive buffer area from Kinzua in
back of the park proper where
controlled future cutting of tim
ber could be assured. Peterson
said that It is possible an allo
cation of funds may be made to
develop the site this fall.
Dr. L. D. Tibbies' said that pro
motion of a state park at the
ChapinKock creek area had
started about 15 years ago. He
told of driving to various picnic
and parking areas over the
Fourth of July and reported how
crowded they were.
"We could have a dozen dif
ferent parks in the area and still
have them all In use," he said.
The possibility of the cham
ber promoting and helping fi
nance a park was discussed. For
several years the chamber has
been raising money to retire
hnnds for llehtine the rodeo field.
This project is Just about com
pleted with most of the bonds
already paid off. Some members
seemed to favor sponsoring a
park as the next major project,
but the matter was not decided.
Orville Cutsforth said that he
wants Cutsforth Park in the state
park system because of the cost
of upkeep. He said he has been
paying personally $75 per month
four months a year for a care
taker for the park since he gave
the 80 some acres to the public
for a park some years ago.
Cutsforth park is not on a
through highway and the state
has previously refused to con
sider parks which are not so
located. Judge Peterson reported
that "the state is more favorable
ahnut takin? maintenance of
such parks now and there is a

A discussion of taking tickets
at the Rodeo was held and Or
ville Cutsforth and Rolce Fulle
ton were appointed a committee
to make arrangements with the
rodeo committee. Members who
took tickets last year suggested
that those with passes be sent to
a different gate than the main
entrance as too much time Is ta
ken up checking them.

in the upholstery of the front
seat of a 1958 Chevrolet sedan
registered to Frank Smothers,

they have used during the
present long dry spell. He said
the fact that there were no grass

No Funds Allowed
Io Fight 'Hoppers,
Anderson Says
No federal or state funds are
vaiiahin tn helD area farmers
fight the grasshopper infestation,
County Agent w. anacnon it-
ported Tuesday.
Anriprenn. who has been aware
of how serious the hoppers are
becoming In south Morrow
county, requested that an expert
make a survey. Jim Jackson of
the U. S. Department o Agri
culture Bureau of Entomology,
Pullman, Wn., was here Tuesday
and toured the south of the coun
ty, particularly In the south lone
area.
He reported there were many
of the Insects but said since the
situation had not been anticipa
ted, no funds had been allowed
and none would be available
this summer. A program or
mnthinfr funds can be used next
year to control the new hatch If
plans are maae in aavance, i
said.
nmsshonners are reported not
to like pine trees, and experts
believe they will not eat tnem.
But Jackson saw pine trees In
windbreaks In the south lone
area which had been denuded
by the Insects. Also attacked
are pardens. shrubs, flowers, and
new scedlngs of alfalfa.
For garden produce Anderson
is recommending malathlon be
cause of Its low residual effect.
It is approved by the Pure Food
and Drug Administration; and
is one of the few sprays wmcn
is, he said.
Farmers should check wine
breaks and recent seedlngs of
alfalfa to spray, if damage Is
apparent, before it gets out of
control, Anderson said. Two area
farmers have had airplanes
spray new alfalfa seedlngs for
grasshoppers this montn, w. w.
Weatherford In the early part
of July and Don Greenup on
Monday.
Most heavily Infested is me
BhP creek area. Hlnton creek,
and the South lone area clear to
Gooseberry area.
Grasshopper infestations are
difficult to forecast A survey
of the Boardman bombing range
In April determined that there
would be many there, but weath
er at hatching time was cool
and moist and tne newiy natcn
ed hoppers died off. There are
none on the range now, accord
ing to the county agent In the
south Morrow area none were
expected as early tours did not
show eggs. The late hatch, which
has made the grasshoppers so
prevalant now, is still going on.
"Because it was unexpected,
we were not prepared, but be
cause so many of them are so
little yet, maybe the frost will
get them before they lay eggs,"
Anderson said.
The county agent's office will
encourage farmers of the area to
organize to control the hatch
next year.
