Morrow 4-H Auction
Proves Spirited Affair
Members Earn Honors Af Wheat
Growers 'East Oregon State Fair'
By N. C ANDERSON
"Four-II club members selling
livestock at the first annual 411
Fat Auction Sale are still hardly
able to believe that their an
imals set u price record for East
ern Oregon when auctioned off
September 3." says N. (J. Ander
son, county extension agent. This
miction was part of the r.Ho
Morrow County Fair and Rodeo
program
The sale, auctioned by Bob
Kunnion, Heppner, with Harold
Irwin. Kay Icrguson, James vai
eniine and John Varner In the
rind, was perhaps the most spir
ileil sale ever to be held In
Morrow county. To put the buy
ers in the right mood, five rab
bits were auctioned off to high
bidders, I'hil Mahoney and liar
old Irwin. These high grade an
irnals brought approximately $5
per head to net "Butch" Ren
nicker, their owner, $21. Moving
into the fat lambs, Tom Michos
of the Jolly Joan Cafe, Portland;
Orville Cutsforth, Lexington and
I'hil Mahoney paid $1.10 per
M)und for one of two animals
sold by Ronald Baker, lone, Ron
Ciirrin was owner of the other
fat la ml).
Next to be sold was a group
of three registered Hamihire
breeding rams which sold for
an average of $125 per head.
Owners of these rams were
1'eggy Wightman, Sally Palmer
and Eddie Brosnan. Buvers were
Jerry Brosnan, Frank Wilkinson
and Fred Hosklns, Sr. Bidding
on fat steers began with the
grand champion of the fair, a
shorthorn, owned by Betty
(iraves. The KJks club of Hepp
brought a higher price of $1 a
pound. This steer owned by Dean
Craves was bought by Smcth
urst and Craves. Trices were
high throughout the entire sale
bringing an average of T7c per
pound to the seller. The one pig
of the sale owned by Nell Beam
er, Heppner, was sold for 7.c
iht pound to Tom Michos, Port
land.
First event of the sale to Indi
cate a desire to make donations
to Institutions, besides helping
to encourage our 4 II club mem
bers, was a donation of a steer
bought by Kill Kilkenny. This
Shorthorn steer owned by Jim
Green was resold by Bill Kll
kenny, proceeds to go to the
Morrow County Hospital Fund
The animal purchased by Ralph
Beamer was again donated and
purchased by Frank Wilkinson
and finally by Orville Cutsforth.
rhis series of sales brought
$1,617 for the hospital fund.
Prices like these were the start-
ng of an active 4-H and btA
ivestock sale that has lasted
during the years. Developed
from necessity, since our boys
nd girls had no means of
marketing their livestock, the
sale has provided an outlet for
several hundred head of beef,
heep, hogs and dairy animals.
he 19ul sale, while not Dring-
ng near the price the 1948 sale,
provided an outlet for 11 steers
that averaged 33Vic per pound;
hirtv-three fat lambs averaging
2G.4c per pound while thirty
two market hogs averaged 24.8c.

an excellent job of getting those
club members to do that job.
Such statements as these are
being said about 4-H junior
leaders as they train to be lead
ers of tomorrow, indicates Joe
Hay, County Extension agent.
The 4-H Junior leadership pro-
ect can be carried by those 4-H
members who have completed
two or more years of satisfactory
4-II club work and are in the
ninth grade in school. The pur
pose of the junior leader pro
gram is to give older 4-H boys
and girls the opportunity to de
velop their own leadership abil
ities. It was never meant that a
unior leader should be just an
errand or chore boy for an adult
leader. Kather, it is an oppor
tunity to learn real leadership
responsibilities.
"We know that good leaders
re developed, not born," Hay
said. A junior leader shares re-
ponsibility with an adult leader
for a project club. They assume
full leadership responsibilities
for their choice of txvn of the
These project divisions are club
organization, demonstrations,
and judging, activities, project
xvorn, recreation training, pub
licity, community service and
citizenship.
A special training meeting for
junior l.eaders was held on Jan
uary 20 at the Heppner Fair
Annex. Background for leader

that attended were assisted in
