We like his pitch for economy and we do not think th at many o his recommendations will he ex- (»ensive If he is able to get the things done he wants done the state governm ent will be more efflclent and less costly, although some departm ents will have money. Elim ination of sevetal boards was requested and it Is probable th at as many more coul be done away with, w ith bene it to the ‘p eople. He would reorganize the s»ai of agriculture. This Iward has l»een a m atter of contention many times and probably w ill he aga n. We are not certain but that It should l>e eliminated instead of the state lair board, lh e depart ment of agriculture in Oiegon perform s as many services for t u_ consum er as it does for the larm- er and It Is entirely possi >le t a If all commodities had «» x>ai sim ilar to the wheat coimnuss on, the potato commission, the u a r y commission, agriculture wou < *■- I»otter served. The governor’s proposal for a homestead exemption is entirely political. This would give ome- owners over 65 an exemption it they have gross Inconw less than $3500 or a home w orth less than $7500. This would establish a new class of public acknowledged boor and sta rt all kinds of tax finag ling. Furtherm ore, those w ithout homes would Insist th at the state assist them to pay rent to equalize them with homeowners. Hatfield opened up the contro- versy about the centennial com- mission by asking the two leglsla- tive houses to investigate its man- auement. It Is pretty late for such a move and we think it too late, although tlte centennial leader ship has l*een going in the wrong direction. All in all we can agree w ith much that Hatfield said and wish him success w ith It while realtz- b ! « \h a t we m is t rely on the leg . [Jj H a lo id LfltKSOu w A S H I N<5 T O Nr À N O SMALL BUSINESS” Writes Health Column People are constantly wonder- ing what to do about the common tX)id. The classic answ er of course is that an untreated cold will last a i,out seven days, b ut proper med- u-ation will cut its duration to only one week. Unfortunately, despite some ad- vertising claims, science still can’t uo much about a cold Itself, but proper care and treatm ent ta n greatly reduce discomfort. A •♦fresh” cold is pretty serious to the person who has it, but is rarely dangerous. The hazard in a cold is its ability to weaken, laying its victim open to such .serious secondary infections as pneumonia. A person w ith a cold should get plenty of rest, keep warm, and avoid a heavy diet. K ll.lj T H E GOOSE Lots of liquids and light foods are advisable.

T ru e , as a beginning, there m ig h t be some reductions in other Item s, but once governm ent gets a new source of revenue established, there seems to be no end to the exten t of brand new “ neces s a ry ” expenditures. Down through the years w e’ve probably heard—and we know you have too—of the artificial incubation of almost every kind of egg laying critter. And the in cubation has been quite success ful. Artificial incubation has cer tainly long l>een a boon to poultry raisers and breeders, and the game commission today would be hard put to raise great num bers of pheasants, chukar p a rt ridge, and other game birds each year by any other means. Now comes the stopper, though, when fish men have taken the incubation principle and adapted it to their own use. Chris Jensen, chief fish cultur- ist for the game commission, said that artificial incubation of trout and salmon eggs will get a try In Oregon w ith the installation of a 100,000 egg capacity unit at the commission’s A læ a trout hatch ery. The unit, now under con struction, will be ready in tim e to artificially lncul>ate eggs from this year’s spring spaw ning steel head trout. Artificial Incuhation of trout eggs has already been tested in several states, and if it proves successful at the Alsea plant, ad ditional units may be given trials at other game commission hatch eries. The most im portant feature of the Incubator, as with the com mercial poultry Incubators, is its therm ostatic heat control, which in this instance regulates w ater tem perature to any desired degree as it flows across the hatching trays. W ith such positive heat control, hatchery men will no long er be forced to contend w ith vary ing w ater tem peratures dictated ■by the whims of nature for hatch ing trout and salmon eggs, espe cially during the cold w inter months when the bulk of hatching Is under way. The hatching time at game com mission hatcheries varies any where from 45 days to as much as 3H m onths, depending on the tem peratures of the w ater. Nor mally It tak»?s about 50 days for trout eggs to hatch If the w ater tem perature rem ains constant at around 50 degrees throughout the 5Oday period. W arm er w ater shortens the hatching time, but as the tem perature of w ater de creases the hatching tim e pro gressively Increases. During cold w inters w hen w ater tem peratures remain barely above freezing for long period«, the egg hatch is de layed to w here It Is almost im passible to rear trout to catchable size before sum m er’s end. With constant control of w ater tem perature, the h a k h in g time can be shortened or lengthened as desired. Instead of having a delayed hatch during cold w eath er m onths or having one big hatch at a station with the resulting crowded pond conduit ns, hatches can be controlled to come off gradually over a period of several weeks and at the optim um time. Jensen believes that with care the hatching tim e could actually be shortened to as little as 35 days If neoessary • .r» January 18, 1835— (On the Des chutes) ... 1 attem tped to run their boat em pty just as 1 took the Shute she struck a rock 1 did not see she sw ung round filled a t once and commenced whirling like a top. 1 hung to her and passed w ithout further dam age than m ashing l»oth of my feet severely l»etween the boat and a rock, was In much pain all this day h ut not lame ... men much tired and discouraged and wish to abandon the canoes which I do not mean to do until 1 am obliged to, cashed at the first portage to day 22 traps.

Potatoes Going Cal Horn, your Telephone Manager Into Starch One-third of the potatoes pro duced in Oregon w ent Into the governm ent’s diversion program during 1958, the November report of the state departm ent of agri c u ltu re’s m arketing specialist shows. A total 64 per cent of the pota toes subm itted for diversion w ere accepted according to W. L. Close, federal-state supervisor of sh ip ping point inspection who noted that the "percentage of specifica tion A (No. 2’s) for the m onth of November is down over the pre vious month. This reflects the diversion factor in that the diver sion of entire fields of field-run is now out of the picture.” The total for Oregon in Novem ber amounted to 507,179 cwt., or 1,409 cars; specification A, 285,- 339., or 793 cars (56%) for a total cash to diverters of $142,669.50. Under the potato diversion pro gram, the U. S. D epartm ent of A griculture assists the industry to dispose of supplies in excess of m arket requirem ents. Diversion potatoes are used for starch, feed, or flour. Any pota toes utilized for feed m ust be cut, chopped or sliceed in order to qualify. Paym ents a ie made only for potatoes which are a minimum of two Inches in dia m eter and are of U. S. No. 2 or »Tetter quality. Water Condition Not Up To Par Poor w ater supplies are antici pated in April-September 1959 for Hood River valley and Wasco county land unless striking in crease occurs in the mountain snow-pack, according to a report released today by W. T. Frost, snow survey supervisor for U. 8. D epartm ent of Agr’culture, Soil Conservation Service and Oregon Agricultural Experim ent Station. W ater content of snow is low. Phlox Point had only 4.9 inches of w ater compared to an average of 23 0. Still Creek had 2 0 Inches while Clear I-(ke had but a trace. Some snow has fallen since the surveys were made on December 29. Mountain soils are satisfactorily wetted; due In part to rain rath er than snow at the high elevations most of the season to date The state-wide outlook for Ore gon’s 1959 w ater supply, as of this early w inter date, is not good. However, reservolned w ater supplies are ex.client with most reservoirs holding well above av erage amounts.
