And it isn't In the form of more moderns and more cost ly equipment . . . It's the pill again. L'SDA scientists have discovered that they can make a sheep give up all of Its wool without a struggle simply by giving it a pill (cyclophosphamide). Two weeks after taking the pill a sheep is ready to be dcfleeced. The wool pulls off with ease and without any shearing. Wool quality is better because short fibers from second ruts with shearing instruments are eliminated. There are some drawbacks to the pill but its use, now experimental, sounds promising, particularly for owners of small flocks who have trouble finding sheep shearers or cannot afford them. Further experimentation with the process, and Its effect on the sheep, is continuing. Meanwhile, scientists should continue to broaden their research into the advantages of scientific farming. What we need now is a spud that picks itself. (Central Oregonian). Falls Query Stirs Reminiscence Last week's letter from Blanche (Groshens) Dempsey stirred a lot of recalling. Several have called, written letters and come in to tell about the falls. The falls must have quite a drop and beautiful with the changing seasons. Perhaps they are worth Investigating the possibility of developing. Certainly anyone wishing to go exploring should first contact Mrs. Graves who owns the land. It Works Soil Conservation practices will work for the farmer and for the people in town. This week those practices were started on the Roice Fulleton ranch at the head of Shobe Canyon. The Soli Conservation Service has drawn out on paper about where the diversion ditches will be. On Tuesday they worked in the field and the 5th diversion ditch was laid out with a hand level and a survey rod. The ditches are laid out on a grade of 810ths of a foot to VA feet per 100 feet. The direction is determined by the outlet. They hope to have all the diversion ditches drain the same way in each indi vidual field. The steeper the slope the closer the ditches are put. This Is great to see the work being started at the top. We'll watch with eager anticipation their progress. Our congratulations to those who have worked diligently on this project. The Parable of The Vacationist ''Now it come to pass, as the summer drew nigh, that Mister Church member lifted up his ryes unto the hills and said: "Lo, the hot days cometh and even now art at hand. Come, let us go unto the heights, where cool breezes refresh us and glor ious scenes await. 'Thou spcakest wisely," quoth Mrs. Church Member, "Yet three, yea, four things must we do be fore we go." .'Three things I can think of, but not four," responded Mr. Church Member, "we must ar range for the garden to be weeded and watered, the dog fed, and the mail forwarded, but the fourth thing eludes my mind." "The fourth Is like unto the first three, yet more important than them all. Thou shalt dig down in thy purse and pay thy tithe that the good name of the church might be preserved, and that it may be well with thee, for verily I say unto thee, thou hast more money now than thou wilt have when thou dost return." And it came to pass that Mr. Church Member paid his tithe, and the treasurer of the church rejoiced greatly, saying, 'Of a truth, there are those who care for the Lord's work." As you are contemplating your vacation may we offer the following: Vacation Guide for Christians 1. Take the Lord along with you on your trip. Don't leave God at home. Most people even consider taking the family dog with them. If you don't know where there is a church of your persuasion in the area where you will be spending your va cation, ask your minister be fore you leave. Your concern for this may come as a pleasant surprise to him. 2. Write Your Minister. On Monday morning drop him a note and enclose a Sunday bul letin from the church you at tended. Exchange of ideas Is . pood. Tell what you found In teresting. The folks at home al so would like to hear from you nd your minister will share your news with them. 3. Don't Vacation at the Ex pense of Your Church. Don't for get that church expenses con tinue as usual even if you aren't there. For some reason or another, the electric compa ny, water company, the people who financed your automobile, and the mortgage company still want you to pay them, even If you are on vacation . . . . should your Christian responsi bilities be any less important than these? If it Isn't conven ient to bring your stewardship into the Lord's Treasury before leaving , then mail it faith fully while you are away. Don't use God's money for your own pleasure. 4. When You Get Back, Come Back to Church. Return home in safety; return refreshed, but don't make the preacher have to look you up and speak to you about coming back to serv ices. Return immediately to Church in newness of faith and love. By MARIE McQUOARRlE The Willow Creek Country Club has come up In the class of other golf clubs as of this week. We have a pro for part of the summer here to help us with all our golfing troubles. This is something we have wished for for a long time, and he Is here now. George Duncan, professional golfer for 40 years of Riverside, Calif., has come up to Heppner to spend the hot part of the summer. We hope many people will take advant-s ace of our having a person that really knows how to golf help them. Mr. Duncan will give les sons at any time that it Is con venient to the person taking them. His lessons will last from 45 minutes to an hour, and that is an advantage, as pros usually give just a half-hour lesson. He will not be living where there is a phone, but there will be a poster in Cent ral Market on the office in the front. If you wish to take les sons or talk to Mr. Duncan, just sign your name and phone num ber and he will contact you He will give one lesson for $5.00 or a series of lessons of 6 for $25.00. Taking advantage of having pro here will certainly improve your game,' especially if you practice what he preaches. It is so much more fun to go out and play a good game, rather than be a duffer around the course. Mr. Duncan doesn't teach everyone the same meth od, but fits the game to the person who is playing. We all have some little Idiosyncracies which he will fit Into your play. If we all take from him, there will be some mighty hot com petition going along down at the course. Sign up now and get your name on his appoint ment list. There were 8 gals down to play today. It really was per feet weather to be out this for ning. VI Lanham and Kay An derson tied for the least putts on No. 4. Kay won on the toss of the coin. Beverly Gunderson had the least strokes on No. 3 and won a ball for that Just as an after thought this taking lessons from Mr. Duncan 1 Just as much for the men as it Is for the women, as I know you aren't all per fect at the game. Learn the ritht way. and you'll find your self enjoying the game of golf much, much more. Oh forgot golf for the gals will start at 9:00 from now on and we will all to down there together. TO THE EDITOR. . . Dear Mr. and Mrs. Heard, This is in answer to the letter from Blanche Groshens Demp sey concerning the falls near Haraman. The falls, called Gutton Falls, is about 2Vi miles south of Hardman. I haven't been there since our school days, but I am sure the falls is still there. As Mrs. Dempsey states, we did go to school together. Since she didn t include her ad dress, I am taking this way to answer her question. Very truly yours, Rho Bleakman, County Judge Grant County Pioneer Ponderings By W. S. CAVERHILL Another Opportunity For InTestors A new mushroom is spring ing up in our economic thickets, "Land Investment Trusts," ac cording to the promoters, the on ly place to make money is an investment In land. The formu la for success is to find out where people are going and get there first. They claim they have men who can do that All they need Is your money to make a fortune for you, and perhaps for themselves. Royal Arch Masoas her en joyed an outing on Saturday up at Cutsforth Park.

On January 1. 1971. the property which was real property, belonged to the Small Business Administration with no interest left in the purchaser. Since the Small Business Ad ministration is a federal instru mentality, would this property be exempt under ORS 307.040 to 307.070. ANSWER: Yes.
