"Free market" needed Oil executive blasts energy regulations Tava, 3-year-old Morgan mare, takes in compliments from her youthful rider, Laura Ashmore, My champ Tulsa, Okla. Laura captured 2 first places in the 8th annual Morgan horse show Saturday at Sa- lina's Kenwood park. (Journal Photo by Dennis Lundgren) Determination paid off for plucky young equestrienne By SANDY DECHANT To the undiscerning eye, the horses all looked the same. Some tugged at the reins now and then and a few were noticeably nervous, but all were groomed and prepped for competition. The difference was the riders.

All sported riding habits and derbies appropriate for the English pleasure class in which they were participating. Some slouched, others winced at uncooperative mounts. Twelve-year-old Laura Ashmore did neither. For Laura, the 8th annual Wheat State Morgan Horse Show at Salina's Agriculture hall was not just another horse show, although it could well have been. Laura, her carriage as sleek and graceful as that of Tava, her 3-year-old Morgan mare, wanted to win.

She didn't have to. She had long ago qualified for the national Morgan show, to be held in her hometown, Tulsa, later this year. Her determination paid off. Not only did the four-foot-seven, 75-pounder win the English pleasure riding junior horse competition in which she was the youngest of 9 competitors she also took first in saddle seat equitation. lovers, especially those at horse shows, Laura didn't come alone.

Included in her entourage were her father, Phil, and her brother, Scott, both of Tulsa; Mr. and Mrs. Haskell Gaither, Pryor, and 2 other horses. Both Scott and Mr. Ashmore placed in the contest.

Scott finished 3rd in saddle seat equitation competition and Mr. Ashmore finished 2nd in the 2- year-old English pleasure class. The Ashmore entries were just a small part of the show, which featured 67 classes and 112 horses from 12 states. But Laura and Tava weren't just an ordinary team. Tava was recently named grand champion Morgan mare in showmanship and hand at both the Tulsa Classic and the Big Charity show in Dallas, Tex.

Laura has placed in the top 10 in her class in national competition the past 4 years. But part of the credit for Laura's stellar performance on the circuit has to go to Morgans as a breed, Mrs. Gaither said. "A Morgan gives everything he has and is very versatile," Mrs. Gaither said.

And a worker at the show said, 'You might say the Morgan was God's gift to horseman." The propane industry faces a "tight, short-term supply situation" through the next few years, but better days lie ahead, says William G. Osborne, senior vice-president of Cities Service Oil Tulsa, Okla. Osborne, in remarks delivered to the 32nd annual Kansas LP (liquefied petroleum) Gas association at Salina's Hilton Inn Sunday morning, attacked the federal government for hindering a "free market" solution to the country's energy problems. "The free market mechanism must be reinstated as the means of determining product prices and stimulating the production of financially less attractive resources, rather than the government-imposed regulations under which we currently labor," Osborne told the 250 Kansas LP dealers. Don't help problem The energy crisis in the United States has been fueled by the agencies charged with controlling the problem, Osborne said, "primarily, the multiplicity of counter-productive government regulations regarding energy and energy-producing companies." In earlier comments Saturday night, Osborne took a dim view of the proposed Cabinet-level energy department which is provided for in recently- passed House and Senate bills.

A final version of the legislation still must be resolved between the 2 houses. More of the same? The new department likely will be a continuation of the federal restrictions that have plagued the industry, Os- But as is characteristic of horse The breed is thought to have been de- Producers must register grain acreage with ASCS Anticipating changes in farm legislation, the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation service (ASCS) is requiring county farmers to report acreages planted to wheat, corn, grain sorghum and barley. Elmer L. Kern, county ASCS director, said both congressional agriculture committees have reported out farm bills which provide that, if a set- aside program is established for 1978 crops, the acreage required to be set aside may be based on a percentage of acreage planted for harvest in 1977. But neither bill would use '77 plan- I tings as a basis for establishing acreage allotments, Kern said.

I Farmers have until Aug. 1 to report I acreages for corn, grain sorgums and barley. Wheat acreage must be report: ed prior to harvest. Farmers who fail to report planted acreage will be considered to have I planted no acres and may be ineligible I for progam benefits in 1978, Kern said. ASCS employes will make spot checks of farms to assure that acreage reports are accurate.

With 1500 farms in the county, the ASCS has come up with "staggered" registration schedule designed to avoid a crush of last-minute registrations at the county office. Farmers are asked to register acreage according to the schedule if possible. Here are recommended registration dates for the various Saline county townships: June 1-6 Glendale, Spring Creek (north and south), Pleasant Valley, Elm Creek, Ohio and Washington. June 7-10 Cambria, Dayton, Smoky Hill and Greeley. June 13-16 Solomon, Eureka, Smolan and Walnut.

June 17-22 Summit, Falun, Smoky View, Liberty and Gypsum. borne said. "If it (the new energy department) furthers restrictions, it just places our dependence more and more on foreign liquids at a higher price to the consuming public." The propane industry should be ready to step in as an alternate fuel supply to help ease the fuel crisis, Osborne told the LP dealers. "The idea of an alternate fuel supply, or supplementation, is an idea which has come of age and we, as suppliers of a perfect supplemental fuel propane are in an excellent position to take advantage of this thinking on the public's part," he said. More available Propane should become more available in the early 1980s, Osborne said, but the industry must maintain a competitive price on its product in comparison to other fuel supplies.

Cities Service is preparing to expand its distribution of imported propane by constructing a new tanker unloading facility at Lake Charles, Osborne said. The facility eventually will have a positive effect on propane supplies ir the Midwest by making available more imported natural gas liquids, Osborm said. Reunion set CLAY CENTER The Sheely and Black reunion will be next Sunday at Huntress park here. A basket dinner will be served at noon with drinks being furnished. Deaths and funerals veloped about 1790 and is the oldest American breed of horse.

Morgans once were used primarily as work horses because of their endurance. In 1930, after breeding of the horse had dwindled because of the proliferation of the automobile, the US government began to breed Morgans for use in the cavalry and for equine research. Nor is the Morgan purely a US phenomenon; it's the official horse of the Royal Canadian Mounted police. And it's the horse most often depicted on weathervanes, Morgan fanciers say.
