A large seed con cern expressed an Interest In the matter and the committee Is endeavoring to work out further plans that may lead to marketing ot this type of farm crop In the future. There Is one typo of seed which certainly should be pro duced with marked success In this valley, and that is seed corn. Year after year growers have won prizes for corn. Yet the to tal number of acres planted to corn In this county has steadily decreased. In 1929, according to the U. S. census, 4,587 acres were planted to corn In Douglas coun ty. In 1939 the total acreage was 2,794. In the five years follow ing 1934 the production of corn decreased from 86445 bushels to 59,012. Some 300 farmers evidently de cided, during the five years men tioned above, that corn Is not a profitable crop and ceased to raise it. This area Is located at some distance from large con. sumlng markets. Freight costs arc 'higher to those centers than from other areas where corn Is grown, thus placing our growers at a disadvantage when compet ing In the bulk grain market. But the land and the climate here will grow BETTER corn. Our growers can develop and pro duce seed corn that will grow better corn elsewhere -and the distance from market and re sulting higher freight rates are not factors that make so much difference in selling seed. Concerted action is necessary to establish Douglas county as an outstanding seed producing area. A few acres here and there will not accomplish any thing -such efforts may most likely prove disapioiiiting to the growers. High quality seeds produced In substantial quantl ties can and will conmmiiml at tentlon of buyers over a wide area. Hut unless a number of growers, representing a really slcablc number of acres Join In such an effort the chances tor success are slim. If they do un ite In such an undertaking the chances for marked success up iear to be very good. IVih:ip. the Roseburg chamber of com merce seed production commit tee can help put seed product ton on a paying basis in Douglas county. It is a large iindertak-1 Ing but one most worthy of de termlned effort. Victor!. For Union A GREAT arl of the success ot the United Stales as an organised society and a olltlcal unity has been due to the fact that Its vast domestic market has been open to all, without barriers to halt and hinder trade between the states. Tendencies to set up such bar riers have been appearing In re cent years, and even more re cently the rcalhiatlon has eome that they must be broken down. The Council of Slate Govern monls, then, has good reason to note with satisfaction that ef forts to extend such harriers were generally defeated before slate legislatures in their 1941 sessions. Bills to give preference to local labor and materials were killed in several stales, and dis criminatory taxes on the - pro ducts of other states wen: also re pelled In several Instances, Editorial on New (ContiniKd from page X.) landed In South Africa. Remember that the Robin Moor Is an "Incident." "Incl dents" spark national decisions In time of stress. It was the Lust tanla Incident that pushed us in to the last war. There are three possible rca- sons for the torpedoing of the Robin Moor: 1. The Germans are cracking down on U. S. aid to Britain, and are prepared to take the conse quences. 2. The submarine commander was too brash. 3. Hitler wanted to know how the American public would re spond to the torpedoing of an American ship. fF the three, the last is the most probable. If It turns out that the incident isn't satis factory for German purposes, look for the submarine comman der to be reprimanded. That would provide the way out of this particular "incident."

His thrifty purpose Is to stay out and get strong enough to wipe up a war-weakened world and take It over for communism (Stalinism.) If Hitler gets away with much more, that scheme will go sour and STALIN himself might be taken over.

Victim Of Foul Murder WASHINGTON, June 18. (AP) Washington police search ed for a piece of hemp rope today in the hope It might be a vital clue In the strangulation-rape death ot comely 23-year-old Jessie E. Strlnff, war department work-1 er, wnose nuue oouy was lounu in a garage yesterday. Homicide Chief George Darnall said an eight-inch mark on Miss Strlcff's right hip indicated she had been bound with a rope about three-eighths of an inch in di ameter. Police saitl discovery of the missing clothes and rope might I give them valuable leads in the mystery. All evidence Indicated that the crime had been committed else where and thnt the girl's body was thrust Into the garage for temporary concealment. Miss Strieff, an aviation enthu siast with a private pilot'; license, lett her apartment to go to a nearby store Just as a storm was coming up. She was wearing a missing blue hooded raincoat and n blue play suit with a botton-on skirt. One possibility that detectives considered was that she took ref uge in some doorway to escape the downpour and there was seiz ed by her assailant. A variant of this was that she accepted the of fer of some passing motorist to take her home. Mrs. Roosevelt Gives Advice. As police pressed their search also for the missing clothes Miss Strieff wore when she left her apartment Sunday, Mrs. Frank lin D. Roosevelt expressed con cern to her press conference ov er the safety of young women who take defense Jobs here. Mrs. Roosevelt suggested that no young Washington women should return to their homes In the Inle evening without an es cort. Miss Strieff disappeared In mid afternoon, however. The first lady also advised that girls be extremely careful in ac cepting favors from strangers or casual acquaintances, and that If a young woman takes n drink at all it should only be in the com pany of well known friends. She pointed out thin; such rules were generally wise at all times, in any city. HinSOfl Choir's Concert Dated at Baptist Church The llinson choir, made up ot tweulyseven voices, will give a program of Instrumental and choral music in the First Haul 1st church of Hosclnirg Friday eve ning, June 2(1. at X o'clock. The program Is carefully chosen and made up of the most Interesting selections from church choral literature. Last year when the choir sang In Spokane, the Spokane S'xikes-man-Review said. "To hear this non professional group sing only the flint strains of its owning selections is to understand why Us annual Easier program has become so popular that Port land's huge municipal auditorium is needed to accnninmdulc the throngs which come to hem- It."

EDWARDS Jesus In that sublime pray er for his followers recorded in St. John's Gospel, said, "I pray not that thou shouldst take them out of the world but that thou shouldst keep them from the evil." We need to live in the atmosphere of this prayer of Jesus, that we may overcome the evil pow ers of the world. Nothing comes closer to the heart of mankind than the desire to be free from sorrow and misfor tune, and this desire is itself a step in the direction of free dom. The next step Is to turn toward God and He becomes "the Sun of Righteousness" to our earnest desire, and all strife will cease in our hearts as wc come into closer rela tionship with God. By put ting our faith in God's pres ence and power, wo rise above all fear and evil. Then our cross will be seen to be a crown of glory. As we persist In refusing doubts and fears to control, we also find our selves lifted above the discord ant experiences and sorrow and misfortune become step ping stones to higher and holier living, and we are able to exclaim with St. Paul, "I can do all things through Christ which strcngtheneth me." Then it Is, our cross be comes a crown. Amen. Gets Steelhead Chester Frew, of this city, caught a four and-a-half-pound steelhead at Rock creek Sunday.
