BUY A BUTTON Go to the Fair
Button button, who's got the button? Everyone who
wants u bargain this year, will buy a Morrow County Fair
button. The white buttons have green lettering: MORROW
COUNTY FAIR & RODEO Aug. 23-29. They will go on sale
this week. The buttons sell for 50c and are good for admit
tance? to all four days of the fair. Daily admittance is 25c.
This is the first year there has been an admittance charge
to the Fair. The amount is nominal and shouldn't keep any
one from going to the Fair. . . ,
The break from tradition comes as a result of the evalu
ation of the Morrow County Fair by representatives from the
State Fair. State money is paid on a basis of points. By
charging admission, the Morrow County Fair gains points
which means more money.
All About Horses
By DWIGHT STEWART
Teddy Jones of Bartlett, Texas writes
I hove two problems with my two-year-old filly. One Is
she carries her head too low when I ride her. The other is I
can't lecd her if I stand by her shoulder, which is the proper
way, in my opinion. What can I do to solve these problems?
The height of a horse's head is controlled by the rider's
hands. High hands high head, and vice versa. It is easy
to bring a horse's head up and very difficult to put it down.
Carry your hands higher and make her walk faster; her head
will come up. A lazy horse likes to poke along with his head
down and usually stumbles while poking along. Wake her up
and make her hurry at the walk.
I answered your leading problem not long ago, but it is
a common one and so deserves some discussion. To lead
properly a horse must go forward freely. He must want to go.
He must have impulsion. This impulsion, or forward motion
must come from the trainer.
Lead your filly with your right hand and carry a buggy
whip or a willow switch six to eight feet long in your left
hand. Carry the whip pointing to the rear and touch your
filly on the hind quarters with it until she leads well. Wake
her up a little, but do not use the whip for punishment; on
ly to make her walk faster.
Tad Walker of Clovig, New Mexico asks
My appaloosa mare doesn't want to leave the barn. She
rears up. turns around and backs up. She rides all right
when I get away from the bam. Is she bam sour? What can
I do about it?
The expression 'barn sour' fits your mare. It is hard to
correct. It usually comes from riding a horse around the
barn or up and down the road near the barn. When you ride
your mare, go somewhere! Don't hang around the barn.
There Is only one way to get her to go and that is with
a whip or spurs. Warm her hind quarters with the whip
until she wants to leave the barn. Don't whip her on the
head, for you want her to go forward. You may need some
help from the ground the first time or two. Make her un
derstand that she must go. Then go some place!

Home from Canada
Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Watkins
and Mr. and Mrs. Leon Ball
and son Randy returned home
Saturday, Aug. 14, from their
extensive camping tour to Can
ada. Both families took camp
ers to stay in the state and
private campgrounds.
The sight seeing trip took
them to the Okanogan Valley,
into Canada, to Banff, Calgary,
Jasper and down through the
Kamloops. While staying at
Jasper, both families saw a 5
point Elk and 5 (2 cubs) Black
Bears in the camping grounds
they were staying at.
The country seemed dry and
there were several occasions
when they heard of fires in the
area. But the weather seemed
very pleasureable to all of the
travelers.
They also got the opportunity
to visit the Columbia Ice Fields
where the Columbia starts in
Canada. Beautiful was the on
ly word to express it.
Mrs. Ball commented on the
number of other tourists from
the U. S. She says Canada seem
ed to be a well traveled country.

QUESTION:
Before I applied for a farm
deferral this year I talked to o
rural aoDraiser in the assessors
office and learned that the
farm-use value of my property
would be an estimated
900. I then applied for special
assessment as farm land, but
the assessor thereafter placed a
farm-use value of $3,116,000 on
the roll. On April 21. 1971 I
sought to withdraw the farm-
use application and the asses
sor refused. Can my application
be withdrawn after the April 1
due date for filing for special
assessment?
ANSWER:
As a general rule, the asses
sor does not have specific au
thority to accept applications for
withdrawal of petitions after
April 1. However in this partic
ular case, the application should
be accepted. This is on the prin
cipal that the assessor's state
ments misled you. If there Is
no question concerning the fact
that the deputy in the perform
ance of his duties did misinform
the taxpayer, the Court would
follow a similar case, where It
was stated that the principle of
equitable estopped could only be
applied when there was proof
that the taxpayer was misin

Precision Tac Team
Thrills Crowds
Over Oregon
It takes courage, perseverance,
dedication and cooperation to be
a member of one of the West's
only non-professional Tac Teams.
Union, Ore., has just this sort
of group under the title of "Blue
Sage Tac Team", a group that
thrills crows wherever they go
with their precision riding, and
daring jumps. These girls ride
bareback, with only an old
timers gimmick, a Tac Rein
around the horses neck. When
jumping their singles, doubles,
triple jump, and Trudy Kohl's
daring high jump, they extend
their arms as they go over the
bar. This is a piece of show
manship, but a 'must for bal
ance. Trudy Kohl, pictured, spreads
her arms in perfect coordination
with her horse as she takes the
high jump during one of the
practice sessions. At the pres
ent Trudy does this same jump
without the aid of her Tac
Rein ... it is removed just as
she starts her jump.
Janice Trump and Ricky Kohl
are pictured in the double jump
in one of their recent shows.
Other members of the feattured
jump team are: Janette Langford,
Donna Huffman, Carole Bronson,
Susan Kohl, Carol Mackey. Oth
ers appearing with the team
are: Carol McCrae, Janice
Smith, Cindy Tartar, Vicky Bur
ford, and Stacey Hanson.
In 1970, the team appeared in
Heppner with only 7 girls fea
tured on the Tac Rein, but this
spring all were in training, and
will be appearing Bareback, and
with Tac Reins only, just as they
have all season throughout
Northeastern Oregon and Wash
ington. Leaders of this group of girls
are: Mrs. Wythel Bronson, Mrs.
Lois McCrae, and Mr. Merlin
Kohl, all of Union . . . Home of

Show, who sponsors the girls'
