6 HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday. January 18. 63 Wind Erosion Control Needed; Districts of Area To Help By gene winters County Extension Agent Tlio effects of wind erosion are serious and extensive In the Col umhiii River plains. Wind eros ion has been a problem In the summer fallow wheat growing areas where wind laid soils are kept relatvelv bare much of the year. More recently with Irriga tion development In the Colum bia basin counties of the Pacif ic Northwest even more highly erodabln soils have been bared to wind action. Over the years, management practices have been developed fmm the four principles of con trol. 1. Trotect the soil surface with cover. 2. Roughen the soil surface to slow down wind vel ocity and trun drifting sou. a, Produce stable soil aggregates large enough to resist the forces of wind. 4. Place barriers such as crop strips, ridges or shelter belts In the path of tne wina to trap the drifting soil and keep it from spreading. Because wind erosion Is usual ly a community or area prob lem. laws have come into exist ence to protect the many from the few. Oregon statutes provide two approaches for the estaniisn ment of wind erosion control dis tricts. The soil and water con servatlon district board of su pervisors may formulate land use regulations. Mien regula tions rievelooed by local people, and voted on by them, could specify farming practices that may be required to prevent wind erosion. The Warrenton Dune Soil & Water Conserva tion District in Clatsop county Is the only conservation district in Oreirori adopting land use regulations. The Lexington Blow district, in existence tor over JU years, is nn example of community ac tion against wind erosion under the other law. Wind erosion control districts can be organ ized under state law by petit ioning the County Court. The law provides for the election of an advisory board, the appoint ment of a wind erosion inspec tion, designates responsibilities and powers; and provides for the changing of boundaries or the dissolution of the district. Further information about wind control districts, their or ganizations and powers, is avail able from the Extension Office in Mcppner in fact sheet form, j than $10,000 worth of sales average ages of operators are higher.

Mccarty County Extension Agent The Oregon State Department of Agriculture will hold a pub lic hearing in Salem on January 22, to receive evidence and tes timony pertaining to raising the age of vaccination for bruceno sis of beef calves. Considerable objection has been placed with the depart ment concerning the lowering of the maximum age of beef calves for brucellosis vaccina tion from eleven to eight months. These objections were brought to the department rep resentatives at the executive board meeting of the Oregon Cattlemen's Association and at a meeting of livestock owners at Burns. The law requires that a pub lic hearing be held on the above date In order to modify current regulations. Any person may at tend the hearing and give evi dence or testimony or may con tact or write to the Veterinary Division, State Department fo Agriculture, Salem, Oregon, on or before such hearing. Hoop Team Loses First LoopTilt;Tips DeSales Age Aspects of Farm Population Farmers average about the same age as self-employed per sons in other industries, accord ing to a report published by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The report by USDA's Econom ic Research Service compares median ages of farm operators and hired farm workers with their counterparts in the gener al economy. It briefly discusses ages and educational attain ments of farm operators and their ages by types of farms, with supporting data from the 19150 population census and the 1919, 1954, 1959, and 1964 cen suses of agriculture. Contrary to some beliefs, farmers generally are no older than other comparable groups of businessmen and workers. Although the farm population does differ from others in the economy in the share of older and younger workers propor tions of workers under 25 and over 65 are somewhat higher in farming the median ages of farm operators and other self employed workers in the econ omy are about the same, accord ing to the report. The average age of Morrow County farm op erators is 50. The average age of operators of larger farms is somewhat be low the national median age of other self-employed workers, and the average age of operat ors on smaller farms is some what above the national med ian, the report notes. In other words, farmers in the expanding sector of agriculture those witli $10,uup or more in sales annually tend to be somewhat younger than their counterparts in nonfarm occu pations. And these farmers to day account for more than four fifths of total farm output, ac cprding to the report.

Sandra Palmer, reporter Oregon Cases Cattle Entry Restrictions Cattle from all but three Washington counties may now enter Oregon without having been dipped for the mite caus ing osoroDtic scab, provided they have an entry permit from the Oregon Department of Agri culture and a health certificate. Oregon modified its entry re strictions on Washington cattle after a federal quarantine was placed on Benton, Yakima, ana Klickitat counties of Washing ton. Cattle from these three coun ties must have a federal inter state health certificate and en try permit from the Oregon De nartment of Agriculture before thev can enter Oregon. The entry permits are issued by the veterinary division of the department and can be secured by telephone by the veterinar ian issuing the health certifi cate. He must then place the permit number on the health certificate. The entry permits, the feder al interstate health certificate for cattle from the three quar antined counties and the health certificate are required whether the destination of the cattle is a farm, ranch, slaughter plant or auction market. The federal interstate health certificate is issued by a fed eral veterinarian. The other health certificate can be issued by a Washington state veterin arian or licensed practicing veterinarian. New Regulations in Effect On Under-16 Employment Under the new rules, which went into effect January 1, 16 occupations in agriculture have been declared hazardous to children under 16 years of age. Among the occupations listed are: handling of chemical pest icides, handling explosives, serv ing as a flagman for aircraft, serving as a truck or bus driver on public roads, operating a tractor of over 20-bolt horsepow er, operating a power-driven post-hole digger, operating a By GARY KEMP Heppner High's basketball team opened Its league season Friday, January 12, with a 73- 70 loss to Pilot Rock on the Rockets' floor. But the next nicht thev took a non-league squeaker from DeSales of Walla Walla in the Mustangs' gym, 72 to 71. The Mustangs lumped to nn early lead against the Rockets but lost their momentum In a cold second quarter and trailed at halftime. 40 to 35. Big 6-4 Larry Brannan, who didn't start, came In to give the Rockets a boost and helped sparK their rally. Late in the game the liepp- nor live stagea a lasi cnicn rallv and came close to knot ting the contest In the dying seconds but fell three points short. Bill McLeod and Russ Kilken ny paced Heppner with 16 points each, followed Dy jonn wc- Cabe's 14-point performance. Big gun for the game though was the KocKets' s-ii jerry ran eeus. who had 20. Part of the Mustangs' loss can h Attributed to their field goal percentage of .38 and their off nieht at the tree tnrow line where they managed only 327o. Had the Mustangs shot 50 from the gift line, they would have won their league opener. On Saturday night the Mus tangs avenged an 84-57 shell acking they took earlier at Walla Walla. Coach Bob Clough started a "fluid five," using four guards and one for ward who came out running. The speedsters built up a 25-17 lead by the end oi tne nrst quarter, hut the Irish came back to tie the game at 57-57 by the end of the third period. The visitors then pushed away and held a 6-ooint bulee late in the game. But the Mustangs weren't to be denied. With time running out, Dave Hall stole the ball and dribbled down court for a cripple to pro vide the final one-point edge. Against the Irish, the Mus tangs shot a better percentage, canning 41 of their field goal attempts and 557c of their gut shots. John McCabe, a sophomore had his best game of the year, scoring eight field goals and three free throws for a total of 19 points. This gave him high point honors for Heppner, but DeSales' Jim Volz, a football player who shows equal talent on the court, blasted the net for 26 points. He is a brother of Coach Gene Volz of the Irish. Leading rebounders for Hepp ner in the DeSales game were Bill McLeod with 9, Jon O'Don nell and McCabe, each with 7. Victory over the DeSales team squared another series for the on-coming Mustangs. They will have opportunity Saturday night at John Day to even the count with Grant Un ion and later will host Condon and Pilot Rock at home, giving them a chance to make up for initial losses to the Blue Devils and the Rockets.
