Baker County Battles Grasshoppers
BAKER, June 17. Grass
hopper infestations are reported
In three Baker County areas with
Durkee, Keating and Pondoaa
hay crops threatened.
Spraying operations have be
gun under the direction ol County
Agent Leroy C. Wright, who de
clined to release what he calls
"alarmist" reports about the pos
sible extent of the damage If the
insects are not headed off. The
next 10 days will tell' the story,
he said.
Hay is the principal crop
threatened In all the areas with
peach and apricot orchards at
Durkee also in danger.
A path two miles long and a
half mile wide is being deluged
with grasshoppers at Durkee
with Infestations at scattered
points in the other areas.
Chlorodane spraying Is being
done by airplane at Durkee and
farmers hope that rain will not
fall before they cut their first
crop of hay, Wright said, because
that would necessitate spraying
the entire area again. Wright
said that a grasshopper expert
from the U. S. Bureau of Ento
mology at Denver is en route to
Baker today.

With Colorful Parade
(Continued From Page One)
ing the three days of the show.
The figure includes the $500 purse
to be awarded by the Roseburg
Elks Lodge to the all-round cham
pion cowboy at the close of the
Rodeo Sunday.
Carter said the show has at
tracted more cowboys here this
year than ever before, because of
the increased prize money to be
awarded the contestants, and the
show is gaining a reputation as
being one of the larger type. Sev
eral top-ranking cowboys signed
in at the close of registration last
night.
Today's performance at the
Fairgrounds was to begin with
the grand entry at 1:30, led by the
Rodeo queen and her court, the
Douglas County Sheriff's Posse,
riding clubs of neighboring com
munities, and all cowboys taking
part in the show.
Main contest events include calf
roping, bareback riding, dally
team tie, saddle bronc riding,
buildogging, and bull riding. Fea
ture events include the cowboy
saddle horse race, stake race,
trick riding and roping, pony ex
press race, wild horse race, and
calf and lamb scrambles.
This evening, the official Rodeo
dance will be held in the Rose
burg Armory under sponsorship
of the Sheriff's Reserves and the
Sheriff's Posse. The dance will
start at 10 o'clock, with music
provided by Lou Franco and his
Happy Valley Cowboys. A Rodeo
"jitney dance" will be held to
morrow night at the Armory fol
lowing the wrestling matches.
Lou Franco will play at tomor
row's dance, also.
Refreshments will be served in
the grandstands at the Fair
grounds during the Rodeo by
members of the Roseburg Lions
Club, who have the food concession.

ed in Dayton, O., as early as De
cember. Now it has spread to
at least six bigger metropolitan
area, reports the American Mu
nicipal Association.
They are: Detroit, 1,156 per
sons; Chicago, 155; Cincinnati
County, more than 300; Los An
geles, 488; Cleveland, 141; Mil
waukee County, 201. The totals
are as of April or May; they
may nave risen.
Some new problems are loom
ing, and some old ones are re
turning to plague states and
cities which have been free from
them during the seven flush
years of war and reconversion.
For instance:
Relief Cost. Soaring
1. Relief costs per relief fam
ily have soared. Ohio says it
cosls 24 times as much to keep
a family going as It did in 1942
2. Rents must be paid. Now
adays, landlords evict non-paying
tenants. In the depression, many
people who couldn't pay stayed
on anyway hecause the landlord
couldn't find other tenants. Now
the state or city must cither pay
the rent or rehouse homeless
families.
3. Longer relief rolls are em
barrassing city treasuries. Al
ready squeezed between frozen
tax revenues and higher costs for
every city service, cities find the
new relief burden rakes "ser
ious financial problems," says the
Municipal Association. In 16
slates cities shoulder their whole
relief load; in the rest, state and
city share.
4. Some western slates report
migrants on the march again.
Nothing like the "Grapes of
Wrath era but incoming transi
ents are causing concern in Colo
rado and Wyoming, for Instance,
and even in Oklahoma whence
came the "Okies" of dustbowl
and depression days.
5. Aid to dependent children
Is rising faster than other re
lief. Missouri thinks It is be
cause women who worked to sup-
Eort children are losing Jobs,
nulslana thinks wartime mar
riages are breaking up.

Fascist oaths from union and
company officers: (2) financial
reports from unions and com
panies; (3) keeping salaries of
National Labor Relations Board

Ex-Wife To Administer
N. S. Weatherly Estate
Myrtle D. Thomas, upon fil
ing her petition, has been ap
pointed as executrix of the will
of Norris S. Weatherly, who was
found dead in his car in front of
the Thomas home in the Roberts
Creek District Wednesday. Ap
pointment was made by County
Judge D. N. Busenbark, who ad
mitted the will to probate.
Weatherly left an estate of
personal property estimated at
$10,000 and real property of
$4,500. The executrix named is
Weatherly's divorced wife. His
will authorized that she be nam
ed, and she was listed as sole

Named as appraisers were F.
G. Stewart, A. F. Williamson and
Harry Black.
ECA Head Wins Fight

over 12 months.
Robertson said Committee
members realized that any large
cut would be "impractical."
"I'm satisfied the Committee
won't go bevond my suggestion"
he said. This is to give ECA
$188,000,000 more than the House
gave it but require the program
to be spread over 12 months.
A Republican member said
privately he believes the Com
mittee will give Hoffman the
same figure voted by the House
and require him to spend the
monev in 12 months.
Hoffman laid before the Com
mittee yesterday a report show
ing that a $1,000,000,000 cut in
ECA funds would wipe out these
purchases of American products:
wheat, $30,000,000; corn, $75,000,
000; tobacco, $50,000,000; cotton,
$100,000,000; fuels. $100,000,000;
metals and ores, $85,000,000; and
machinery, $125,000,000.
There were others in the list
but this gave Senators an idea
of the impact of a cut on the
American purchases for foreign
aid.

Oregon Grangers Still
Opposed To Sales Tax
COOS BAY, June H.-M.W The
solid front has been broken, but
the State Grange still is against a
sales tax.
A resolution proposing a "fair
and impartial" sales tax went
down to overwhelming defeat at
the Grange's annual convention
here yesterday.
The proposal was brought to
the floor by a majority of the
tax committee. It also was known
several Granges had gone over to
support of a sales tax in the last
year, but the great majority of
delegates swarmed the resolution
under.
There was a long debate first,
with proponents asserting it
would reduce property taxes,
while opponents said it only would
shift the tax burden to the poor.
