Oregon w ill not joon see a
candidate for high office work
harder at the job of campaigning
than has Doug McKay, Republi
can candidate for United States
senator. He likes to meet people
and Is not rebuffed when some
one In Jest or earnest speaks a
word for his opponent.
McKay has always been a hard
worker. Since he peddled papers
In Portland to help support his
mother, since he sold meat, work
ed his way through college and
started his own business selling
cars, he has had to work.
Now
he has the habit. As a working
man he is closer to the average
citizen than most of the candi
dates who aspire to office. The

farmers are actually convinced
that the two-price plan 1* wu.y a
panacea for wheat growers Many
_as would we— would like to
see it tried while realizing its
weaknesses. In fact, the plan in
corporated in the vetoed farm bill
was a rather weak sort of the
two-price plan.
It now appears that wheat far
mers are going to come closer to
realizing their desire w ithin a
short time than if the two-prke
plan had been adopted. Under
that scheme farmers would get
market price for about half their
wheat and would have the other
half supported at full parity. The
restrictions as to planting would
s till prevail.
Under the farm bill passed by
congress farmers can go into the
soil bank and get paid for land
not used. Enough of them have
done that to take some nine m il
lion acres out of production ac
cording to figures released w ithin
the week. That w ill reduce he
surplus.
Under another federal program
shipment of wheat to India and
Japan w ill take another huge
block of wheat out of the country
under a deal that w ill be helpful
to those countries. Wheat com
mission men expect the northwest
surplus to be moved by next sum
mer although that may not be
realized.
This fall the government agreed
to hold its stored wheat and let
the farmer sell his instead of put
ting it under loan. The export
subsidy wa3 increased to help the
shipment overseas and the mar
ket for grain has been well above
the loan for the first time in
years.
