Rose Ann Hams, 52 years of

Allen Nistad summarizes Kinzuas
year.Repeats plea for housing
Years ago meat processing
plants claimed they used up
every part of the pig except
the squeal. Today Kinzua is
ready to claim, they use every
part of the tree except the
breeze through the tops.
Every part of the tree
possible is being used in the
new installations at Kinzua,
how clean-up crews are fol
lowing closely on the heels of
the logging operations, what
procedures are being followed
to force maxium growth of
trees, and continous supply of
trees were touched upon by
Allen Nistad of Kinzua at the
Monday meeting of the Hepp-ner-Morrow
County Chamber
of Commerce.
Until recently by state law,
trees less than 16 inches
couldnt be severed. This was
recently lifted and size of trees
is dropping to 10 inches at
stump. This break through has
molded the new installations
at Kinzua. Logs down to 10
inches are taken to the lathe
for peeling and down to 5 inch
tops are taken to the stud mill.
The cores from the 8 foot lathe
are also taken to the stud mill.
Chamber members were
delighted to hear about the
$34,000. in the budget for
cleaning up after logging.
Taking more of the tree into
the mill leaves much less to be
cleaned up. After logging the
damaged and diseased trees
are to be cleaned out and the
ground prepared for the new
trees and pasture grass.
Through their experiments
Kinzua has learned that 180
trees planted per acre guaran
tees the best growth. This past
year they planted 69,500 trees,
thinned 460 acres, planted
1,360 acres to grass and built
120 stock ponds. They plant
16,000 pounds of grass seed for
acreage.The grass helps to
prevent thistles and other
undesireable plants from
growing on the logged-over
land and the stock eats the
grass instead of the new trees.
In rocky areas, Kinzua comes
in with a drill to dig the holes
for the young trees.
Mr. Nistad said that this
spring, they had notified all
public agencies and private
individuals, they thought in
terested, that they were plan
ning to block-up their tree
farm. They are offering to
exchange scattered lands they
own for Forest Service or
BLM lands that are closer to
nnnarentlv a erant from the
tmvernment would nav for a
large part of that require
ment. Rupert Kennedy of the
port of Morrow said they
expect to have a known client
for a site on the property next
year. There have been a
number of inquiries in the past
several years about possible
sites for plants.
The port has leased acreage
to Desert Magic for 10 years.
They approved grazing perm
its to lAf Docken on 130 acres
and to Mike Andrews for 85
acres.

He said that Governor
McCall had asked him to
chairman a panel on Land Use
Planning at a Conservation
Congress in Portland this fall.
He voiced as he has on other
occasions his concern for the
lack of housing in Heppner. He
had communicated with the
Governor who sent John
Doneth from the State Hous
ing division to see what he
could do to help. Gene Halsey
was here from Albany. Mr.
Doneth told of the new FHA
program whereby 100 percent
financing to qualified applic
ants was available. This is
available for single family
units as well as rental
projects.
Mr. Halsey said he felt a
20-25 unit mobile home court
would be feasible and would
relieve some of the pressure
from a housing shortage. He
said as others have said
"there seems to be no sites
available."
Mr. Nistad said they had 53
working on the first shift at the
Veneer plant and would put on
the second shift as soon as the
problem of disposing of the
bark could be resolved. Kinz
ua expected to have 33
employed on this shift.
Mr. Doneth said "today a
technical assistant is being
hired by the state to go into
areas to worK wiin locai
developers, local bankers and
other resource people on sites
and financing and Heppner
could very well be his first
assignment. Just let them
know what assistance is
needed."
The Chamber's housing
committee met with the two
visitors following the meeting.
Petersons Jewelry won the
pot.
The Chamber will have a
mini-booth at the Trade Fair

Hearings
Joint Soil
The Heppner Soil & Water
Conservation District and the
Boardman Soil & Water Con
servation District have both
filed resolutions with the State
Soil & Water Commission in
Salem to allow consolidation
of the two districts into one
county-wide district to be
known as the Morrow Soil &
Water Conservation District,
reports Harold Kerr, County
Extension Agent.
The consolidation has been
requested by the two districts
for a number of reasons,
among which is the duplic
ation of administration costs
and dues to the State and
National Association of Con
servation Districts. The rapid
development which is taking
place has brought the two
districts closer together.
There has been confusion
among land owners as to
which district to request

bring to the rodeo spectator
one of the top rodeos to be held

The contestants will be the

during the rodeo season in

finals, if at the time of signing
up for the finals rodeo they are

The problems of wind and soil

for both districts and it is the
feeling of the two boards of
