We were up In the County
Extension Agent's office yester
day morning and learned they
were doing a bit of guessing
on what the county average
wheat yield would be this sea
son. One guess was 30 bushels;
another was 35; yet another was
41. Grain crops look very Rood
except for a few places of thin
soil, on ridges and where there
was some wind damage or hot
weather damage. In any event,
the crop is far better than it
looked several weeks ago when
it appeared that the hot weath
er might lower the yield sub
stantially. If we can figure out
how to do it, this little paper
,.c mitrht snonsor a yield
guessing contest next year. An
other tning wc neeu iu
out is where to get the hund
red bucks prize!
The proposed plywood mill to(
be built at the Kinzua sawmm

that the new mill will be erect
ed this year. To start out with,
the mill will produce veneer.
This will require about 33 em
ninvoot Thp veneer will be ship
ped to Omak, Wash., to be made
into plywood. Alter compieie
tooling up, the program is to
change so that the veneer will
be made into plywood here at
Heppner.
The Morrow County road de
partment has been oiling a three
mile strip of road on Willow
Creek. Another three mile strip
in the Sand Hollow area will

cause of a critical lack of mon
ey. Original plan had been for
17 miles of new oiling this year.
