A fter an even eighty years of successful agriculture there is every evidence that indus try will soon become dominant. ’fhe reasons are these: W ithin a few years the John Day dam will be built and pouring millions of kilowatts into the lines. The rale will lie less w ithin fifteen miles of the dam. Before then there will be a bridge at Biggs Rapids to make Highway 97 the major commercial highway for long distance hauling and tin* Columbia river highway will he rebuilt to handle heavy traffic fast. There are gas lines al holli ends ol the county; th e n 1 is rail road service across anti into the county. W ater for industry Is available In any of the three riv ers hordering (tie county.

He ha-5 forgotten how to »■II Ids crop and lost interest in market«. In fact, there is no mar- ket, only governm ent edict. We have refused for som etim e to shed tears over the governm ent subsidies to agriculture; if we are going to subsidize anything lei it I k * our stomach. Farm ers always have been subsidized from tin* lime governm ent gave them the land although it has gotten much worse In recent years and it is showing up in farm er’s a tti tudes. Government ruins everything ii touches and the quicker it gets its bureaucratic fingers off the wheat farm er tiie b etter off that individual will be. Therefore, per haps the best solution would be lor the governm ent to let wheat grow ers sow all the acres they want ami take the responsibility of selling it. The price would «Irop, mm«* would I k * fed and even tually th«* wheat industry could get hack to a stable basis. It is assumed I fiat the government would not compete in the market with its surplus grain and per haps some cushion would I k * need ed to soften the drop. Farm ers her«*, however, w ould be better off if they could farm by their own ideas than th«»s<> from W ash ington ami th«* income would be almost equal if all the land was sown. gkner x i / s i ip i \ io ’.’ s Any American may feel happy that in this country generals, re tired and active, are perm itted to express their opinions about national defense and even to voice implied criticism of their s u p e r io r .a m i the joint chiefs of staff.
