After lunch, Carlson led a
tour over the three ranches that
comprise his operations, show

each place. For those who did
not care to take the tour, Mrs.
Carlson showed colored slides
that her mother, Mrs. Dorris
Graves, and her husband had
taken prior to the field day to
illustrate the conservation prac
tices. Visit Three Places
The 100 on the tour rode on
six trucks for the distance of
some 20-30 miles. They went to
the Henry Baker ranch, which
Carlson operates under lease,
and to the Jesse Warfield place,
which is now under the Carl
sons' ownership.
Mimeographed sheets were
given to each person with infor
mation so that those present
could follow comments being
made over the portable speak
ing system as Carlson talked to
them.
Lowell Grlbble of Heppner In
land Chemical Co. was present
to give demonstrations with his
hydraulio soil probe used In soil
sampling.
The Carlsons had words of
thanks for all those who helped
make trie day a success; to Kiet
mann for the hard work he did
in arranging the event, to Coun
ty Agent Gene Winters who
helped with arrangements, to
Ralph Richards who did the
technical work and surveying
ror tne ; conservation practices,
the Pettyjohns for their lunch,
to the Grange for serving it, and
to all others who helped with
the Field Day. ,
Among guests present to share
the Carlsons' special day were
Mrs. Julie Carlson of Portland,
mother of Louis Carlson, and
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hope of
Eugene, brother-in-law and sis
ter of Carlson.
As winner of the state con
servation award, Carlson now
becomes chairman of the selec
tion committee to pick the next
state winner for the Oregon
wneat League.
It was a great day for a high
ly respected Morrow county
family.
But when it was all over Carl
son had some humble reflec
tions to express.
"You know," he said, "This
conservation is nothing new. The
Henry Bakers and the Oscar Pe
tersons were doing it long be
fore we 'Johnr-y-eome-latelys'
came along. They laid the foun
dation for it, and we get all the
credit."
