We spent eight years farming in the days of horses and mules, poor crops and eheap wheat. We like the county or we would have been gone a long while ago. We may. God willing, be around for quite a while yet. So, you see, we are identified with the county’s his tory and background. Both the paper and the publish ers. We have been a part of its history and hope to be a part of its future. Natives who go on long cruises by car into other states or other countries all come back happy to be home. Not only do they say, “ There’s no place like home” hut “ There’s no place like Sherman county” . The opportunity to talk about it doesn’t occur very often in these pages. But we c an ’t talk about the Sher man County .Journal without talking about Sherman county lor the two. are all tied up together; the owners were horn in Sherman county and so was the paper, be fore there was a county, in fact. Nevertheless it could he better and perhaps we’d make it better if we weren’t so satisfied with it and fearful that any change might make it worse. That is A newspaper seldom writes to achieve complete agreement. More often it writes to stimulate thought believing that from thought will come the best programs. We’ve been at this business now since 1929 and next March will have been in the county seat for 25 years. In that time we have learned a few of the things to do and a Hie paper depends on the county for news and the pounty depends on the paper for news. The Sherman ’ounty Journal has hut one reason for existing and that s to help the county and ¡Is people. When and if it quits doing that it won’t last long hut we d o n ’t intend to quit. We talk about wheat, how to grow it, what kind to grow, where to sell it. That includes a lot of things, the experiment station and its new wheats, its tillage cxjieri- ments, fertilizers, rain makers, harvesting, storing, mill ing, baking, eating. For variety we talk about cows, fat cows, stock cows, steers, hulls, feed rations, grass, prices, eating. conservatism raised to the Nth degree which is too high. In this county we produce tin* staples of good diet all over the world and in any age or era or century—bread and meat. Some years we product* enough wheat to feed the whole state its bread and cake and cookies and ice cream cones combined. We don’t produce as large a percentage of the state's beef hut we work at it and the quality is good Irom good breeding and good grass and good grain. Ami while the Sherman County Journal is talking about wheat and beef it is also talking about other things, about ,w‘ople, Wheat taxi* , about schools, about politics, about roads. It talks about such things every week or some ot them. Nobody agrees entirely nor are thQ ex pected to agree. One must ay w n s ii^ le things to ob tain entire agreement. © @3> © ..
