TABLE ROCK
Field Crops Need Rainfall
By R. E. NEALON
Table Rock Spring sown
crops here, such as grains and
alfalfa, which farmers were
forced to sow late owing to the
excess moisture left in the soil
by the heavy winter rains, are
now badly in need of rain. If the
dry sunny weather continues for
any length of time it will mean
ihort grain crops.
Some fields of grain haven't
sprouted as yet and in most
places where the plants are be
ginning to show up the stand is
spotted and thin. Some farmers
with irrigation equipment have
begun to sprinkle fields of newly
sown alfalfa clover, and in some
places grain fields.
Barbara Wheeler is confined
to her bed with her right leg in
a cast, owing to a fracture re
ceived when she and sister Judy
jumped from the granary win
dow last Thursday evening with
out a parachute. Judy fared bet
ter as the fall was broken by
Barbara who was the first to
reach the ground.
A Mercury brush chipper, a
gadget used to grind up limbs
and brush, is being used here by
a crew of the Stevens Tree Sur
geons of Portland in removing
interfering brush and tree
branches along the power lines.
A man in a big basket on a
power lift is elevated to where
he can cut the brush and tree
limbs, which fall and are picked
up by another workman and
thrown into the big hopper of
the chipper, where they go
through in a flash, becoming
something like hog fuel or even
finer.

the Walter Pirky farm, formerly
the Stanley Vaughn farm, are
going through here to the Kogap
saw mill.
Among those getting river bot
tom top soil for their lawns from
this district are Robert Sage,
Steve Wilson and Glenn Hoist.
Bill Bishop writes from Kansas
City that the weather is fine, he
is batching and working six days
a week. He is employed by an
uncle, who operates a lumber
business and has a number of
farms.
Several from here attended the
meeting of the local Ladies club,
held Wednesday, April 18, at the
home of Mrs. Francis Russell
west of Medford.
There will be some famous
cowboy singers and a barbershop
quartet on the program at the
next community meeting Friday
night, April 27, according to the
program committee.
The Retired Teachers associa
tion of Jackson County met April
9 at the home of Mrs. J. S. Rich
ardson with some 25 in attend
ance, including 23 school marms
and two past school masters.
Charley Hoover, the Republi
can optimist, whose farm income
has been shrinking the past few
years, met us at Bill Bray's auc
tion sale the other day, and
called us a Democrat. He said he
got the idea from our writings,
which he thought leaned too
much toward the New Deal.
Then he patted me on the back
and said he never missed read
ing our stuff, said it was the
most interesting part of the pa
per. So, if Charley thinks we
are a Democrat, maybe we had
better change our registration.
Since at this time the Repub
lican goose is hanging high, and
they figure to be sure winners
in the next election, no one
could say we were leaving a
sinking ship, and with a farmers
chances of making money what
they are, they couldn't say we
were quitting while we were
ahead.
Smudging festivities were held
Tuesday morning in Table Rock
pear orchards. As the old Indian
said, "Heap . big smoke, little
fire."
The committee appointed by
the president of the Table Rock
Community club to investigate
the possibility .of acquiring the
school building for a community
center met with the school board
of District 6 April 9. At this
meeting it developed that the
consensus of all board members
was that the building should be
turned over to the Table Rock

Firecrackers Used To
Scare Elk in Clatsop
Astoria (U.P.) A new twist in
keeping roving elk away from
farm fields is being tried out in
Clatsop county.
They're using firecrackers.
Members of the Astoria Rod
and Gun Club are trying the ex
periment out on the Jack Burk
hart farm. They put strings of
the noisemakers around Burt
hart's fields. The firecrackers
are attached in strings of a doz

WINNERS Prize winners at the re-openlng
celebration of the Medford Furniture Store
here the first week in April were Mrs. Inez
Hagerty, Dixie Lane, and Richard Farrell, 511
Dakota street, both of Medford. Mrs. Hagerty,

owner and manager of Medford Furniture

plied for it, and be used for a
community center. The board
agreed to release their claim
when it is shown that the ones
who are legally heirs will agree
to deed it to the Sunday school.
During the past few weeks the
grim reaper struck down sev
eral persons we have known a
long time, and learned to respect
very much.
There was Bob Fowler, county
agent for many years, doing
many tasks outside his regular
duties. We remember him during
our term on the county court,
directing the planting of shrubs
and lawns at the new courthouse.
He was always pleasant and
quiet during the confusion of
that time, and a great help to the
court.
Diamond Flynn we first met
in the depression days when he
sold us, on time, a pressure wa
ter pump and installed it, being
very thorough in his work. In
our many meetings since, we
found him a charming person to
deal with and always ready to
help with his community's proj
ects. There was the tragic death of
Beulah Faber, a member of the
Faber family we have known
and respected from back in 1909,
when the late E. C. Faber, with
his uncle, started a store in Cen
tral Point. Beulah was always
pleasant and kind to everyone, a
tireless worker, and a great help
to her husband Everett, and his
brother, Don, in their business
enterprises.
Then there was Eddie Carle
ton, a resident of our community
for some 30 years. During that
time he was growing a fruit or
chard and taking an active part
in community affairs, helping to
organize the present Community
Club. He was thorough in his
work and honest in his dealings,
so thorough that some said he
was too much so.
Time marches on, and one who
has spent many years in the same
locality is apt to feel a bit lonely,
as old time friends and neighbors
pass over the great divide.

Snake Killing Here

of the season on Table Rock rd.
The trio, Lushwell P. Lander

Fierling, 2422 Reed lane, Med

they spotted the reptile. They dis
played the victim's tail, con
taining 10 rattles and a "but

The snake had been feasting
on rabbits shortly before the
hunters shot it, they said.

Giving In... To His Ractical Side !
We will tell you, in all honesty, that this gentleman
was a little dubious when he first walked into the
showroom. -
There was no question, to be sure, about his
wanting a Cadillac.
But, quite frankly, he wondered whether or not
he was in a .position to purchase a motor car as
wonderful as the 1956 Cadillac.
But now he is learning some facts about this
distinguished motor car that are removing the
doubt from his mind.
First of all, he is learning that a Cadillac is
relatively modest in its initial cost.
He is finding out about Cadillac's extraordinary
'ependability and freedom from repairs.
He is discovering the remarkable facts about
Cadillac's traditionally wonderful resale value.
And, lastly, he is being told that, at this
time of the year, his dealer is able to make
Cadillac ownership even more practical than usual,
i
That's why we suspect that having given in
long ago to his heart he is now giving in to his
practical side. And that's, a combination no man
can resist!
If you have considered Cadillac the car in your
future but have postponed making the move for
reasons of economy we urge you to stop in soon.
As an experienced Cadillac dealer, we have
established a wonderful relationship with fine-car
motorists throughout the community. Our repu
tation for integrity is positive assurance of your
satisfaction as a customer.
