wind storm. The tree formerly stood in the
Launer's yard at 465 Gale Street in Heppner.

Farmers fight crime
Out in the country, you don't
have to worry so much about
crime, right?
Wrong. Last year, more
than $324,000 in machinery
alone was taken from OreRon
farmers, according to the
state Law Enforcement Data
System.
In addition, gasoline and
tools are stolen every day.
And thousands of dollars in
damage is done by vandals
who drive across newly plant
ed fields, or shoot at machin
ery. A farm's isolation is part of
what makes it attractive to
thieves and vandals, says
Oregon State Police Cpl.
Roger Morris of Pendleton.
A large number of thefts can
be traced to teenagers who
siphon gasoline from isolated
outbuilding areas, he says.
They may see tools laying
aroung loose and take them,
too. almost as an afterthought.
For that reason, simply
keeping tools in a locked box
or building will discourage
many thefts, says Morris.
Ttie more "professional"
theives - those looking for
something to sell, who are
willing to break into a locked
building - can be discouraged
by engraving or stamping
property with the owner's
driver's license number. The
identification makes it harder
for theives to sell the stolen
property and makes it easier
for police to find the owner.
Finally, says Morris, it
helps to be neighborly. "Pro
fessional" thieves will prowl
an area two or three days
before a "job". An alert
neighbor can keep an eye out
for suspicious characters, not
ing the description of the
vehicle or, better yet, getting
the license plate number.

The Oregon Farm Bureau
sponsors a program to help
farmers mark their property
with their Oregon driver's
license number. County farm
bureau offices have kits with a
weatherproof warning pla
card, stickers and inventory
sheet. They also have tools
available, with instructions,
for stamping the numbers into
machinery.
The incidence of prosecution
in farm theft and vandalism
cases is rather, low, says
Oregon State Police Superin
tendent John C. Williams.
When it comes to final
documentation, he says farm
ers are sometimes concerned
about retribution from the
accused vandal or theif.
But if anything is to be done
about the problem, farmers
have to report crimes to the
county sheriff or state police.
"If a number of reports are
turned in. there may be more
pressure to get something
done." says Larry Starr of
Summerville. chairman of the
Wheat League's theft and
vandalism committee.
"If yen don't report it. we
don't know about it." he says.
Adds Supt. Williams. "This
is the only way that we can
accumulate statistical data
and place more patrols in
certain areas."

League is a non-profit organiz
ation representing Oregon's
9.000 wheat farmers.
