FARMERS^ NEED
SLAUGHTER TAG
Farm 'ers need slau g h ter tags,
sta te s Ken P riest, extension ag

from the O regon's C attlem en 's As
sociation. U nder th e new m eat
d ealers’ licenses act all persons
who sell or tran sp o rt a farm -k ill
ed anim al need a free bona fide
producers tag. T h ere are a v a il
able frem th e departm ent offices
in Salem or P o rtlan d or from your
livestock brand inspectors and
rip . M illionaire, and Pink Q u a rt
et.
Mrs. B rady brought sample? slips
w ith blossoms of these new v a r
ieties plus some of the old re g u la r
standbys, th a t w ere put on display
for the m em bers to see.
All the- m em bers and visitors
welcomed Mrs. Brady's ta lk on
fuchsias as th ?y are one of th •
good growing flowers of this com
m unity, and ft ey were all very
much in terested in the sample's of
some of th e new varieties. Most
of those sam ples w ere brought
from Mrs. B rady's garden in P o rt
land. and som e w ere brought from
Mr. Will C rissey’s garden here in
Brookings, who also is an ack
nowledged authority on fuchsia;.

The departm ent says locker
p lan t o perators and m eat dealers
cannot legally accept farm -killed
carcasses coming in w ithout these
tags. T he bona fide producer tag
should also lie on the carcasses
which the farm ers move over the
public roads to th eir own lockers.

I suppose it is only n a tu ra l th a t
we who liv«? in the sm aller tow ns
of Oregon should desire to look
w ith pride on o u r 'arg e m ajor
city Portland. It is equally nor?
mal I imagine for us to become
som ew hat d istrau g h t when satro
city conducts itself in such a m an
ner as to lead us to susptx't th at
its only claim to being a m etro p
olis is its population.
We w ere m uch encouraged a
couple of y ears back when a m ove
m ent was sia rie d to bring about
the construction of a recreation
a re a which would lift the city out
of the hibernation it had enjoyed
for more th a n a q u a rte r of a cen
tu ry . We w ere equally pleased
wh’ i a highly efficient propo-
ganda cam paign brought citizen
approval for th e w orthw hile e n ter-
prize.
But then som ething happened.
; W ith millions of dollars involved,
w ith he backers of various sites
[xiunding th'.'ir respective drum s,
the city governm ent, in order to
avoid w hat might bo a d isastro u s

p o tato to a special com m ittee of
its own choosing.
Monlhs piled upon m onths. E x
p erts from far aw ay places m ade
supposedly scientific evaluations
of pro|Mised sites, the sjiecial com
m ittee each day postponed having
to m ake the fateful decision; and ■
all this tim e, th e city governm ent,
safe in its bomb shelter of shifted I
responsibility, w atched the fire
works.
Then w ith pressure from the
public and th e press calling for I
a halt to the dilly-dallying, the
s |" c ia l com m ittee, w ith fingers
ero ed, released its decision
D elta P ark nd w ith th e ink barely
dry on the press announcem ent
of the decision, the city govern
m ent announced th a t it would op
pose the site selected.
W ith such goings on, it is only
n a tu r a l th a t we in th e h in te rlan d s
j should wonder w h a t’s cooking
Still we shouldn't be tool surprised
Most of us can still rem em ber
