AS I SEE IT....
(This interesting column was sent to us by Mrs. Frank M.
Monahan of Condon. It is a column written by Pat Goggins,
publisher of the Western Livestock Journal.)
It looks as though the industry is going to forced to fight fire
with fire. Evidently the women of America are serious about
boycotting meat for a while at least. The livestock industry is going
to have a boycott by not selling it. This is not good for the long
run because it builds up tonnage but maybe these women and their
followers would learn a lesson if the meat counters were empty on
purpose.
This great land of America is the greatest place in the world to
live. The average American household is the best fed, best clothed,
most highly entertained household in the world. But they are
spoiled. The average American housewife and the average
American husband and the average American children are very
spoiled; spoiled with all the good, nutritious food they want.
Many of these young people, especially those under 35, have
never seen very much of hard times. Things have been escalating
over the past 30 years. They have seen for the most part, nothing
but good times, lots of food and plenty of entertainment.
Americans as a whole, do not know the difference between a
'.'want" - and a "need". They want a nice car, maybe two of them
and thev want a colored television, maybe two of them, they want
carpeting in every room, they want a nice home in a good part of
town, they want to go out two or three times a week to dine, they
want annual vacations with pay
and lakes. They want shorter working hours with more pay ana
yes, for the most part, they want to start at the top.
What about the needs? They need to eat and they need to be
warm. That's about it.
Of course, this might sound primitive. I wouldn't want it to be
that way but really, the American people need so badly to set back
and really thank the American agriculture, grain, livestock and
crop producer for what he has done for them. He's produced more
than any other society in the world: fresh eggs at the grocery store,
beautifully cured bacon, lots of hams, beautifully displayed beef of
all kinds, prepared foods of undisclosed nature and number,
breakfast foods by the aisle, convenience items by the store full.
Fresh fruits like you've never seen, most beautiful, seedless
varieties with a highly palatable flavor. The nicest of fresh baked
goods. What a job American agriculture and agri-business has done
to bring American people the most wonderful array of food and
convenience items enjoyed only by Americans.
A fryer chicken in the store ready to go in Ireland is over a dollar
a nound. Beef steak, and it's not as tender as ours, is over $3.00 a
pound and the average Irish worker makes about 40 percent or less
prices are double ours as are the
the Baltic countries.
I say to Mr. and Mrs. America, especially those who believe in
boycotting food prices, you're not boycotting food prices, it's
boycotting meat. You want more meat and we're happy that they
do, but please Mr. and Mrs. America, sit in your easy cahir some
evening and think and know the difference between a want and a
need. You need protein, and you need beef.
Go ahead with your boycotts. I doubt if you will like macaroni and
cheese, hot cakes and flapjacks very long. I doubt if your husband
coming home to sit down at the supper table is going to put up with
waffles and macaroni and cheese very long. You go ahead with
your boycotts and if you are extremely successful with it and you
manage to break a lot of America s cattle feeders and down the
line the producers, get used to eating macaroni, get used to eating
wheat products, get used to eating hotcakes with sugar syrup
because there will be no meat to buy.
Irrlson Square Dancers Perform
at 4-11 Leaders
By FRANCES ROSE WILSON
The Dancing Square Crowi
4 H Club performed during the
lunch hour at the 4-H Leaders
Forum in Pendleton at the
BMCC Sat. Thirty-five mem
bers of the square dance club of
Irrigon and Boardman partici
pated under the direction of
their leader, Gladys Hobbs, of
Irrigon.
A meeting was held at the 4-H
Building in Boardman on April 3
to discuss the possibility of
County officiate using the 4-H
building for a meeting place
when needed in North Morrow
Co. Zearl Gillespie, a Boardman
City Council member, stated
that he would rather see the
building used than to see it
deteriorate. The once active 4-H
group of Boardman seldom uses
the building. A 4-H Dog Obed
ipnrp Huh meets occasionally.
bildinB wouid still be
available when not in use. There
have been many times when a
place was needed for planning
meetings, Soil and Water Con
servation, Juvenile, and other
types of meetings.
No decision was made but the
matter will be brought to the
attention of the City Council.
The building ha; been a
perplexity to both the City of
Boardman and to North Morrow
4-H Council. Since it is a 4-H
Building on Boardman City
Park land no one has a clear
title to the building.

Forage
Seminar
Apr. 16
Dr. James Oldfield, Head,
Department of Animal Science
at Oregon State University will
lead a group of six scientists
and subject matter specialists
to appear on the program of the
Forage Production and Utiliza
tion Seminar in Hermiston on
April 16, reports John C.
Hesketh, county extension
agent.
The all-day program will be
held in Thompson Hall on the
Umatilla County fairgrounds
beginning at 9:30 a.m.
Other OSU staff members
participating in the forum
session includes Dr. James
Vomocil from the Department
of Soils; Dr. Norman Goetze
and Dr. Lester Vough, Depart
ment of Farm Crops; Dr.
Daniel Church, Depart, of
Animal Science; and Dr. Gene
Nelson, Depart, of Agricultural
Economics.
According the Hesketh, the
seminar has been planned and
arranged in cooperation with
the Research and Extension
Advisory Committee to focus
attention upon a number of
important agricultural produc
tion considerations relating to
irrigation development. Crop
potentials and rotation require
ments of developing irrigated
areas have important implica
tions to production patterns and
the economy of the entire
Columbia Basin, the agent said.
Dr. Vomocil will begin the
program with explanation of
models he has prepared to
typify most prevalent soil and
irrigation conditions common in
local developing areas. Goetze
and Vough will discuss crops
and rotation possibilities that
merit consideration under con
ditions applicable to each of the
models. Oldfield and Church
will focus attention upon possi
ble alternatives for capitalizing
upon crop production through
livestock, and Dr. Nelson will
lead discussion of economic
considerations that are appli
cable to the different production
and utilization alternatives that
are suggested by other speakers
on the program.
No advance registration to
the seminar is required and all
interested persons are encour
aged to attend, the agent said.
Further information may be
obtained through members of
the Research and Extension
Advisory Committee or through
Extension offices in Morrow,
Gilliam and Umatilla Counties

Wickiup
Timber Sale

scabland with a bluegrass -sagebrush
cover in a naturally
poor condition. Within types 1
and 2, grass cover is generally
an association of elk sedge and
pine grass with lesser amount of
fescue in good condition. In
addition to the timber and grass
cover, huckleberry and some
ribes species are also found.
Topography and Soil
There are portions of three
drainages within the sale area :
Little Pot am us on the east,
Wickiup in the lower middle,
and Stalder Creek on the west.
Elevation ranges from ap
proximately 4,100 to 4,500 feet,
and southern exposures are
common. The topography is
generally rolling, except for the
area from just above Little
Potamus Falls and on down
stream, and sides lopes average
about 10 percent.
