Scientific Ranching
Some long-awaited help for the farmer and rancher may
be on the way through scientific development.
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.

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.

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

PROPERTY TAX
FAX
If you have a question con
cerning real or personal prop
erty please state all the facts
as briefly as possible and mail
It to your COUNTY ASSESSOR
Joyce Ritch, under the name
"PROPERTY TAX FAX". Please
ask only one question per sheet
Then watch this column for the
answer.
QUESTION:
The Small Business Adminis
tration loaned some money to
a firm in our county to go In
to business. In December of
1970 it bought out the Interest
of this firm to which it had loan
ed money and foreclosed on the
purchaser. 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. There is nothing in the
factual situation which would
indicate that the property would
come within any category as an
exception to the general rule of
exemption.
