Vol. XI, No. 41
Death ond Taxei
The most Interesting and
probably the most discouraging
and unpopular newi of the past
week was Mr. President's an
nouncement that he would ask
for higher taxes for next year.
Not sui prising news; Just dis
heartening. The President was right In
one statement. You can't dance
without having to pay the fid
dler. Our forefathers found that
out centuries ago. So, w hen a lot
of money Is appropriated hy
Congress, It has to be dug up
and paid, some way or other, or
else the good old U. S. A. could
go belly-up. Just the same as Joe
Doakos, when he doesn't, or
can't pay his obligations.
The President has consistently
asked for more spending money,
and our good congressmen,
democrats and republicans alike
have said "No, No! We must
have economy in government."
Then they have appropriated
the full amount asked in most
rases, except where they hiked
it up a few billion bucks.
Take for Instance, the KRP.
IRuip! Excuse please.) The
economy . minded copgi-esstncn
were going to pare It a quarter
billion or so. What did they
wind up doing? You guessed it
the first time. Thev boosted It!
And our good Kngllsh friends
aKe tne Marshall money ana
buy Canadian wheat, ifor which
we don't cuss them too much,
even though we have a huge
surplus), and Rusisan lumber,
(for which we hate their guts).
Rut the latest blunder, which
will cost Oregon poultry, tur
key, hog and dairy farmers mil
lions of extra dollars on their
rsportlve feed hills, was to to-
aln the 90" r narltv cuarantre
on basic commodities. This
means that wheat, the main
grain crop of the entire Pacific
Northwest will continue to be
oo high priced to use In feeds.
And the C. C. C a Federal
Spending Agency, is buying mil-
tons or nusncis of this line feed
grain for shipment some place. I
usi any place, to cot It out of
he countrv. so there will be
room enough to store the ID.SO

a nign enough mice to en

good. Then Mr. Clinton Ander

A Democratic bill. It wasn't

coming up in a few months.
So our good congressmen

fancy return on their labor.
Which means that the President
got his requested 90',- of parity.
And the surpluses will continue
piling up, but wheat will be too
nigh priced In Oregon to be us
ed for feeding chickens, the
principal use for generations.
And the wage earner will ask
for more wages, because his liv
ing will cost more. But who
pays the fiddler? The poor for.
gotten taxpaver, of course. Who
else would! it Is deducted from
the worker's pay envelope. It Is
paid out of the 'grocer's and the
butcher's profits, hut added to
his selling price. It is paid nut
of the Steel and Coal companies'
and the automobile makers'
margin, hut added tn the cost of
all the things we buy.
We have only one question to
ask? When will It stop? And the
answer is equally simple When
the American people decide
they've had enough.
Sheep Cubes
Winter Is starting early. We
hope, i honestly), that we won't
have to sell quite as manv of
loose good I'MPQL'A SHKKP
ClUES as we did last year.
Even though they were a first
class Investment, and paid well.
But hay Is scarce all over the
country. We mean, of course,
our part of It. Even east of the
mountains, hay is hard to buy.
It Is possible many are holding
hav. rather than get caught
with their -supply- down, like
last year. If the weather breaks,
hay may become plentiful. Hut
In that event you won t need It.
So why don't vou keep vour
sheep In jood condition. A 'bait
of Sheep C'jhes everv dav, and
they will do well on the washy
grass, even if you are short on
hay.
We know that those sheep
men w ho ued L' M P Q I' A
SHEEP Cl'HES last year sold
more fat lambs, and made more
money than those who tried to
skimp thru without feeding.
And had more sheep left this
season, ion rani go wrong on

worth feeding well, better get

The kid wrote home from col.
lege. "Pad. you call ouielf a

sent me a check for a month.
What kind of kindness do vou

To which Pad wro'e hark:
'That! unremitting kindness,

The extra supply Is being bought

had little luck In attempts to lis

The government exacts to
take an eventual loss of perhaps
58.").0O0 .000 on locks of dried eggs

Such a loss would reflect sale of

Non-Removable
Shields Add To
Tractor Safety
Farm machinery manufactur
er! are now initiating steps toi
save operators trotn their own
carelessness by adding nonre
movable power take-off shields
to their equipment, reports M. G.
Iluher, O. S. C. extension agri
cultural engineer.
The new shields may he opened
for servicing and inspection of
the power shaft, hut it would ie
quire special cutting tools to re
move them entirely.
Rapidly revolving power take
off shafts are an ever-present ac
cident hazard, yet many .'aimers
fail to keep the standard remov
able shield in place. It is a nui
sance, many believe. Originally,
manufacturers felt that the
shields would be more conven
ient if they were removable.
New shields are being con
structed with a hoop around the
pipe connection between the unl
vcisal joint, or otherwise perma
nently attached so they cannot be
removed. The new shields are de
signed expressly to reduce mach
inery accidents on farms.

Public Enemy No. 1 around Cal

to be the eye-spotted hud moth.
Hr. Harold F. Madsen of the Uni
versify of California has been
keeping tabs on this hug that
has been sabotaging half the crop
in some orchards.
Madsen says that In the larval
stage it ties a leaf to a prune,
then crawls under and feeds In
the shade. The fruit exudes sap

which eemements the leaf to 1 1
and makes it a cull.
The moth long has fed on New
England and Canadian apples.
Madsen says it emigrated to Cal
ifornia only ten years go and
has tried apricots and peaches,
w hich It doesn't like, pear! which
it win tolerate, and apples, cher-
les and prunes, which it likes
best. He found DDT worked hest

On the way back to the store, he told me to expect a shipment of Farmall
Cubs within the next few days. This ought to cheer you up, and it doesn't
make me "mad" either!
Well, they are here now on display. So come on in, folks, and see the
Farmall Cub! Next to a pair of pliers, it's the handiest farm tool I know. Just
right for the fellow with 40 acres, more or less ... the part-time farmer...
the vegetable truck-txop grower... or the big acreage farmer who needs

Good Sod Will
Keep Soil From
Blowing Away
There Just Isn't anything better
than a good sod to keep soil from
washing or blowing away, says
J. F. Bonebrake, chairman of the
County ACA committee. The
roots hold the soil particles to
gether and soak up moisture. The
vegetative cover protects the soil
from the bombardment of rain
drops holds back the water so
that more of it ran soak into the
soil, and provides a protective
screen for loosened soil particles.
Tests Indicate that on sloping
land where from 25 to 30 tons of
top-soil per acre is washed awuy
on land in row crops, less than a
half a ton is lost from land pro
tected by sod. It is for this reas
on, the chairman points out, that
some sloping land should be kept
In sod all or most of the time.
Sod is also one of the best pro
tections for the outlets of ter
races. If the water accumulated
back of a terrace can be emptied
out onto a good sod waterway,
there is little danger of starting
a gully. But if there is no protec
tion, the terrace may help pro
duce gullies instead of prevent
them.
Waterways may he sodded by
seeding or by bringing in sod to
the location. To protect the wa
terways, plows and other tillage
tools should be lifted when cross
ing the waterway. Since the Ag
ricultural Conservation Program
provides assistance to establish
and maintain sod, the chairman
urges all farmers to check on lo
cally approved practices at the
county P.MA office at 321 Pacif'c
building, Roseburg.
