Range Improvements
Planned For This Year
Range operators in Malheur
County again plan an extensive
improvement program this year
reports George Bain, County
Extension Agent.
The projects include sage
brush control and range re
seeding on nearly 20,000 acres.
The Malheur County ASCS
Committee is again providing
cost share funds of 50% of the
cost up to $1,000 per operator
according to Jim Christian, Of
fice manager for the County
ASCS Office in Ontario as soon
as possible.
Past experiences have shown
that sagebrush control doubles
the amount of grass production
on ranges having a good under
story of grass. Reseeding pro
vides a reliable source of feed
on acres not previously pro
ducing their potential forage.
C rested Wheatgrass is the grass
most often selectedbyoperators
since it does well in our dryer
climate. Reseeding sites should
be those having deep soils with
a clay content adequate to hold
moisture.
Bain said that in
the past three years there have
been
approximately 45,000
acres of such range reseeded.

Paul “Tex” Yearout To Speak
At Church Of The Nazarene
Paul “Tex” Yearout, widely-
known speaker on youth pro
blems and family living, will be
featured in services at the
Church of the Nazarene this
weekend.
Yearout speaks to about
300,000 young people each year
through special appearances in
school assemblies, effectively
communicating with them re
garding many areas of interest
to youth.
He has spoken in
several of our area schools, in
cluding Nyssa, within the past
few days.
Themes of interest to both
youth and parents will be high
lighted in the weekend services
here, and families are en
couraged to attend together.
As one observer put it, “With
wit and wisdom this dynamic
speaker zeros in on the urgent
personal problems confronting
today’s teenagers and their pa
rents. He talks about the gener-
ation gap, phoney parents, and
youths who sacrifice their whole
future on the altar of the im
mediate . . . one thing is cer
tain, when Tex Yearout speaks
you can’t remain passive. You
will react. When he is finished,
you may want to shake his hand
or punch him in the nose... but
for sure you won’t be sleeping!”
The services this weekend be
gin with a Youth Rally Saturday
evening at 7;30 with local mu
sic features and Yearout speak
ing. Sunday, he will speak to the
youth and adult departments
of the Sunday School beginning
at 10 a.m., then again in the
worship service at 11 a.m.
Two sessions nave been ar
ranged for Sunday evening, one
at 5:30 and another at 7 p.m.
Each of the services will be
different and everyone inter
ested is invited to participate
in all of them.
