From the point of view of a socialist th at is a good program because It would stop com petition be tw een private and socialized in d ustry and it would lie almost im|x)ssible to prove which was the better. If some steel plants and some railroads were put under social ism and some left free it would be very easy to show which was the better system of m anage ment.

They report that when both steers and heifers were pastured ’ in mixed herds, gains during "the grazing season averaged about the same When steers and heifers were pastured separately, however, the steers gained from 10 to 20 pounds more than the heifers. Further, the segregated heifers showed gains of 5 to 8 pounds higher than gains made by heif ers in mixed herds.

Quality White Wheat Sherman County and the Paci fic N orthw est wheat industry needs to take advantage of the natural conditions that favor pro duction of high quality w hite wheat. Many people feel w-e should concentrate on making our wheat the most desirable in the world from the standpoint of cleanliness, dryness and uni formity. In looking to the future the region should plan for stor age and handling facilities cap able of segregating varieties or types of wheat of certain qual ities. Richard Baum, W estern W heat Associates, indicates it may lx? necessary in the future to clean all or some part of U. S. wheat for export in order to be com petitive with Canadian or A ustralian wheat exports. . - " Sincerely, Marvin Thomas. President Mrs. John Robinson, V-Pres. Mrs. C. O. Burnett, Sec-Treas.
