and harvest time.
It rained, and the sun shone and it rained again. It
rained generally over the county and it rained in streaks
and showers that drenched one spot and left another dry
and then the next day it hit the dry spot. Wheat, especi­
ally in the south end of the county, is worth driving to see.
Tnere is no evidence of the brown spots that often times
mar the beautv of the fields; the draws do not show as a
thin or barren mark; the wheat is thin and even and
almost perfect., It delights the heart
the true farmer
who wants, above all things, to produce a crop—to have
things grow and multiply to the fullest extent.
Real smiles are in evidence again on farmer faces
instead of the “darned-if-I’ll-give-up” grins that have decor­
ated these faces for the past seven or eight years and they
look as good as the wheat fields.
There is p/obably nothing that adds to the spiritual
stature of man so much as grit that eventually succeeds in
bringing the man out on top. Farmers who have planted
and replanted crops for eight falls without credit facilities
and without the encouragement of good returns are certain­
ly entitled to praise for their staying qualities.
THE GRANGE MEETS
The state grange is now in session in Lebanon and the
state master, Ray Gill, has given his address. In it he
discussed, as is his wont, the state of agriculture and
especially the relief measures passed for the farmers.
Mr. Gill is apparently more deeply impressed with the
new soil conservation program than he was the old AAA as
the grange has long advocated proper treatment of the
soil so its productivity will be retained for future genera­
tions. This is the indication of a good farmer—that he
should want to retain his acres in their pristine fertility.
Oregon will receive $9,432,000
in federal funds for highway wprk
during 1938-39 providing the state
can dig up $2,045,000 a year in
match money, according to R. W.
Baldock, state highway engineer.
The federal allotment for 1938 will
be available about July 1, 1937.
Governor will head a party of
highway officials and engineers
on a six day tour of highways in
eastern Oregon, leaving Salem Fri­
day and returning to the capitol
city next Wednesday. The trip is
being made especially for an inspec
tion of the Idaho -Oregon -Nevada
highway. The trip will extend as
far east as Caldwell, Idaho, and as
far south as Reno, Nevada, and
Susanville and Alturas, California.
Five persons met death at grade
crossings in Oregon during May
bringing the year’s toll of crossing
fatalities to nine, according to re­
ports compiled by the public utili­
ties commission. Railroads have
been asked to send representatives
to a conference to be held hère
June 16 in an effort to check the
mounting toll of crossing accidents.
First year’s contribution to Ore
gon’s unemployment compensation
fund will exceed $1,000,000 accord­
ing to D. A. Bulmore. secretary
to the unemployment compensation
commission. Bulmore bases his
estimate on receipts of more than
$325,000 for the first four months
of the year. Next year the levy
against employers will double and
the following year it will treble
this year’s levy, Bulmore pointed
out.
A policy of sustained yield for
Oregon forests offers the only hope
for a continuation of this state’s
lumber industries, Governor Mar­
tin pointed out this week in urging
Oregon congressmen to support a
federal measure providing for finan
cial aid to timber owners in the
transition from the present waste
ful cutting program to a new pro-
gram designed to perpetuate the
timber crop.
