Heppner residential users

In September. October and
November compared to the
tame month of 1972.
In fact, the use (or that
period was up ' of I per cent
for the average user. The
increase in use was 7.2f. kwhs
over 1972 for the same three
months on the basis of
average use.
Not calculating the use on
the average, the increase was
up as 558 members used
1.458.605 kwhs in 1972 and 570
members used 1.497.823 kwhs

Funds approved for

State Rep. Jack Sumner,
D-Heppner, has announced
thnt the State Emergency
Board recently approved
funding of sewage treatment
projects in 10 communities in
his district.

which will come from federal
funds.
Projects and ' costs are:

How to relieve the
fertilizer shortage
With limited supplies of
certain fertilizers predicted
lor next spring,' farmers can
do something to minimize the
impact of these shortages.
Soil testing, says Harold
Kerr, Oregon State University
extension agent in Morrow
County, is one of a farmer's
most useful tools for efficient
fertilizer use. It can help take
the guesswork out of a
fertilization program by pro
viding an inventory of neces
sary nutrients available or
missing in a particular soil.
. Dollar-wise, says Kerr, this
means that savings can be
made by applying only the
necessary nutrients in the
amounts indicated by the soil
tests. This is especially im
portant for users of dry form
of fertilizers which is ap
parently in short supply in
this area.
Of 6,000 grower samples
tested at the Oregon State Soil
Testing Lab in 1972, phos
phorus and boron were needed
in 2,000 cases and 1,000 showed

compared to 1972. It had other
savings on substation lighting.
Presently the Northwest
electric energy situation looks
somewhat favorable. Neither
BPA or Columbia Basin Is
requesting any curtailment

electric power. The oil and gas
crisis does not directly affect
the Northwest power supply

per cent with one major
nuclear plant and one major
coal plant, Columbia Basin
reported.

The Emergency Board also
approved a total of $917,000 in
state pollution control bonding
funds to help make it possible
for these communities to meet
requirements for federal
grants.
The 1973 legislature sub
stantially increased the a
mount of pollution control
bonds which the state can sell
to aid local communities in
planning and building sewage
treatment works, Sumner
noted. The ceiling on pollution
control bonds was raised from
$100 million to $160 million.

many other samples, tests
showed adequate nutrient
levels.
This is a good time of the
year to take soil samples to
assess fertilizer require
ments. Instructions on how to
take soil samples, soil sample
information sheets, soil
sample bags and interpreta
tion of soil sample results may
be obtained from the county
extension office in Heppner.

the bugles! We're raising the curtain on another New
Year!
In spite of shortages and frustrations of the past year, Morrow
County Grain Growers looks forward with optimism to a better,
brighter 1974. Conceding that 1S73 had its problems for all Am
erica and all Americans, is there another country, or another
city, where you'd rather be living and doing business than right
here in Morrow County USA?
We thought not!

Ullman lashes Senate
for stalling
WASHINGTON. DC-Act-Ing
Chairman U S. Rep. Al
Ullman. D Ore., of the House.
Ways and Means Committee
uid last week he it concerned
that the Senate may be
deliberately confusing the na
tion ' older citizens on the
prospect of an increase In
Social Security benefits.
It's time to set the record
straight." Ullman Mid: "A
month ago the House passed a
far-reaching and responsible
II per cent increase in Social
Security. That bill has been
pending before the Senate
ever since, and still has not
been acted on."
Instead. Ullman said, the
Senate has attached its own
Social Security increase pro
posal to a relatively minor bill
totally loaded down with
unrelated amendments In
volving welfare, unemploy
ment benefits. Medicare and
Medicaid, and even oil drilling
equipment.
Further Senate delay in
approving the bill already
passed by the House, accord
ing to Ullman, will make it
physically impossible for the
V
SS bi
II
Social Security Administra
tion to meet the payment
deadline et In the legisla
tion. "It's a great disservice to
our senior citizen in this
period of strong inflation for
the Senate to be playing
politics with a much-needed
increase in Social Security,"
Ullman charged.
If the bill isn't passed
immediately, he said, it's only
going to create further
troublesome delay for Social
Security recipient.
Ullman said he is personally
ympathctic with ome of the
Senate' amendment, par
ticularly deadline item uch
as social service regulation,
but added: "We must take
these other matter up under a
more responsible format that
a Christmas tree bill."
"The crucial issue," Ullman
emphasized, "is that the
Social Security increase ap
proved by the House go
forward independently to the
President assuring our older
citizens of the earliest possible
icrease in Denems.
