The Dalles Chronicle in its second long editorial on the advis ability of consolidation of counties repeats some figures given by a Portland association. They áre to'the effect that Sherman county government costs $65 per capita and Wasco county costs $50 per capita. How these figures are derived we do not know. But, for strictly county government—wjiich is all that would be charged by any sort of consolidation—the costs in Wasco county according to their abstract of taxes payable in 1982 is $10.30 per capita and in Sherman county is $9.68 per capita. These figures ire taken from the abstract of taxes statements of the respective assessors and may be verified by anyone Why this sudden interest in consolidation? Since when has the system of small governmental units become so onerous on the people? We in Sherman county have one of the most economical county governments in the state. We have reduced taxes more quickly and more thoroughly than any other county. It is the be lief of this paper that the theory of small counties is the proper one for satisfactory government. In our county government is close to the people All of us know our county officers, they are George ánd Hugh and Bill; we know their habits, their dispositions, their abilities. Because we are well acquainted with them we are able to easily approach them on any county governmental question. County government is simpler because it is small and because we have a county that is an entity in occupation. This is as govern ment should be, close to the people and understood by them. It is th j only satisfactory means of conducting democratic govern ment. As we stated before in such a consolidation Sherman county would provide a large share of the valuation. We would have two fifths of the property and one fifth of the population. The average per capita valuation for Sherman county i< approximate ly $4650 and for Wgsco county it is $1670. As far as the election of officers and the apportionment of taxes were concerned we would be the tail of the kite. • We would be in the the position of a well to do young man marrying a wid ow w th a large brood of youngsters needing food and clothing It is pointed out that since roads have been improved citizens could go to the court house farther from their homes, in the same amount of time than formerly required. They could. It would probably cost as much in dollars and cents as it ever did, but there w raid bi a saving in tima. As it is now we have the advantage of o *r good roads If we consolidated into larger units we would lo;e what ever advantage we have gained by having good roids to bring our government closer to us. 4 Since this propaganda first started there has not been one person in this county that has expressed themselves as favoring su:h a move. It is the feeling that it would be a good thing—for ' -I " Wasco county, and for them alone We do not want to consoli date We do not consider it an economical move or one leading to either better or cheap, r government.

These crosses are proof ^fhat smut resis tance can be bred into wheats. The date of sowing tests at the above nurseries tend to prove the contention of smut experimenters that a temperature of approximately 60 degrees is favorable to smut in fection of wheat in the ground. There was none of the wheats smutty in this lest in Moro except those sown during October when the soil was the proper temperature for smut ger- mination. Mr. Stephens warns that even I though a farmer has a wheat thar does not smut badly it is safer to treat it every year for the type of smut that is produced on a variety of wheat will more readily attack that particular variety than will other kinds of smut. The smut adapts it self to the wheat within a few years and may make that particular seed wheat valueless within a few years.

The advertisers in the Sherman County Journal are the firms which realize the value of having their names ever before the buying pub lic. They know the worth of a newspaper to the county and they appreciate its bene fits to themselves.
