OBITUARIES
Thomas Nelson
Thomas S. Nelson, 78, Hep
pner, died Saturday, Dec. 30.
Mr. Nelson was born Feb.
24, 1900, at Brushy Fork, near
Roanoke, Virginia.
A resident of the Heppner
area for over 40 years, Tom
headed west on a freight train
as a young man. When the
train caught fire in Wyoming
he hastily disembarked with
his clothes aflame. All his
belongings were destroyed.
He worked in Wyoming for a
time before moving on to work
the Anaconda mines in Mon
tana. Tom was employed on
ranches in Eastern Washing
ton before coming to the
Heppner area in the early
1930s, where he was employed
by Frank Wilkinson as a
sheepherder. In 1946 he moved
to the Van Schoiack ranch
where he continued to work
with sheep. He later worked at
the Barratt ranch, living at
their Johnson Creek place. He
then worked at the Pat
Campbell ranch at Lonerock
for 10 years before his
retirement in 1970.
Shortly after his retirement,
he suffered a fall, fracturing a
hip and requiring a lengthy
hospital stay. In ailing health,
he took up residence at
Pioneer Memorial Hospital
nursing home, living there
until his death.
The life of a sheepherder is a
solitary one, but he grasped
the chance to study the bible;
reading it in it's entirety and
quoting passages freely to fit
the occasion at hand.
Graveside funeral services
were held Wednesday, Jan. 3,
at Heppner Masonic Cemetery
with the Rev. Edwin Sikes of
the First Christian Church
officiating. Sweeney Mortuary
was in charge of arrange
ments. Contributions may be made
to the Pioneer Memorial
Hospital Fund.

Potato Surplus
Cont. from page 1
crop potatoes by 20-26 cents a
hundredweight. However the
1978 crop price is still expect
ed to be at or below the level of
prices received in the last two
years.
Consumers will pay one-half
to once cent per pound more
for fresh potatoes than they
would in the absence of this
program, Bergland said. How
ever, retail prices for potatoes
and potato products are
expected to remain at last
year's level or up to 2 per cent
higher, according to Depart
ment economists.
To take part in the program,
growers must obtain authori
zation for diversion for the
local Agricultural Stabiliza
tion and Conservation Service
(ASCS) offices. They also
must have the potatoes graded
by their local federal -state
inspection service.
Potatoes to be diverted must
be mutilated by cutting,
crushing or other authorized
methods, to assure they are
not returned to the fresh
market. Diverted potatoes
may be fed fresh or spread on
pastures for spring grazing.
Growers can feed the potatoes
to their own cattle or arrange
sale to other cattlemen. The
grading service will certify
the quality and quantity of
potatoes diverted and that
they have been mutilated.
ASCS will issue payments
based on the inspection certificates.
