The eastbound domeliner City of Portland will make a connec tion with the Union Pacific’s southbound train No. 36 at Poca tello. It will leave The Dalles ?.t the new' time of 2:15 p. m. There will he no change westbound. The U.

At this season of the year when plant life takes on new vigor is a good time to tend your house plants. Tap them out of the pots and if there is a ball of roots and little soil, transfer ‘o a larger pot. Remove some of the top and bottom of the ball and replant .a a pot one or two sizes larger. Je sure to have proper drainage in the bottom of the pot. Old, broken pots make good material. Place wdth the curved side up. Most plants like a soil mixtute made up of 1-3 garden loam, 1-3 sand and 1-3 leaf mold or peat. Cacti and similar plants use more sand and less organic material. Leave 1-2 to 1 inch of room at the top for watering. There should lie room for enough w ater to thoroughly soak the root nail each time a plant is watered.

Nowhere else on earth, an 1 never t»efore in history, has agri culture met the job of producing food and fib«r to meet human needs so well. The U. S. consumer is better fed, and at a lower real cost, than ever Ix'fore. Currently agriculture might ix? classed as subsidizing the consumer. The average work ing man finds it takes less than ever of his dollar to purchase food items. Here are some of the late estim ates of comparative working time it takes laborers in the Unite 1 States and USSR to buy their food. The comparison *s based «.n state-fixed prices in Moscow’ and prevailing retail prices in New York City as of August, 1959. To buy a loaf of rye bread took 6 minutes work lore—9 min utes in Russia— 1 Mi times as long. To buy a pound )f beef rib roast—21 minutes here—82 min utes in Russia, 4 times as tong. To buy a quart of milk—7 Mi minutes here—31 minutes in Russia. 4 times as long. It takes 6 times as much work to buy an ounce of tea in Rus sia as it «iocs here— 8 times as much work to buy a dozen eggs— 9 times as much work to buy a IX'und of butter, and 21 times as much work to buy i pound of sugar.
