DAYS GONE BY BEETLE BAILEY GARFIELD BLONDIE DILBERT THE WIZARD OF ID LUANN ZITS BY MORT WALKER BY JIM DAVIS 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian March 27-28, 1917 Thousands of acres of wheat land in Umatilla county are now being reseeded or will be in the next few weeks because of the injury done by the cold winds of the long winter. There is not a wheat community in the county that has escaped damage and hardly a farmer but will have some of his land to reseed, according to general reports. With wheat worth better than $1.50 a bushel, the expense of reseeding will mean a big loss to the farmers of the county. There will be the additional loss of lesser yields, for spring sown grain rarely makes within ten bushels of the acre yield of fall sown grain. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian March 27-28, 1967 The FBI here today reported that city police, state police, the sheriff’s department and the FBI together arrested Edward David Hargrow, 20, at his residence and simultaneously apprehended Walter Bud Willingham, 19, at his residence on the THIS DAY IN HISTORY BY DEAN YOUNG AND STAN DRAKE BY SCOTT ADAMS BY BRANT PARKER AND JOHNNY HART BY GREG EVANS BY JERRY SCOTT AND JIM BORGMAN charge of kidnapping.
