That con dition prevailed over most of the northwest, but not much but the grass has started so far, nights being often frosty. As for moisture, we got .9o inch at the experiment s’ it ion which is lacking .28 inch from normal. For the crop year the total is 7.77 when we can expect 8.07 inches. The high for February was 64, tiie highest recorded since 1932 when the mercury got up to 68 one day and the low of 13 was a holdover from tiie cold spell that ended January. The monthly mean of 40.9 is the third high est since records were started in 1911, the highest lx?ing set in 1958 when the mean was 42.3 de grees.

A rt Christianson Members of the Sherman Co unty club met long and rather loud Monday night when discus sion of Sherman county problems was on the docket. Nearly every one had an opinion about some thing ami nearly everyone took the opportunity to express It. First of the major discussions started when Hlldred Zell, new president, asked Fritz Watkins to explain the report of the plan ning committee that had inves tigated county roads and propos ed a $30,000 levy for ten years to pay for the improvements. Watkins read the report which lias been published in the Sher man County Journal. Members of the committee John Hilderbrantl, Mack Hall and Max Barzee spoke of toe work of the committee, ..» ..it «»as O pinion County Judge Vernon Mille r and Commissioner Luther Davis said the proposed program ag reed in general with their plans and they favored it except for having grave doubts abouf the ten year term. Miller said the $127,000 road fund was used mostly for maintenance but that a little construction could be done every other year with state and federal help (FAS) which means that the federal govern ment contributes 62 percent and the state and county 19 percent apiece The county, Miller said, lias excellent equipment, but not enough men to keep it in use. Davis reported that the court was planning reconstruction of the Wasco-Glrklng canyon road, which is also first on the coinmit- tees’s list. Zell asked for opinions of most of the farmers present and found them infavor of Improvement on roads liecause of savings in cost of trucks and tires. Owen Edkin, Caroll Sayra, Charles Burnet, Paul Alley, Wendell Balsiger, for the grain growers, and Leon ard Fields said good roads were valuable adjuncts to a farm. If the county court and the planning committee wanted a long and thorough discussion of tiie road proposal they both should tx? pleased.

Articles running in the Port land Reporter were cited as ex amples of ignorance and Irres- ponsibility for the writers have apparently made no effort to get the truth. I here is a plan to build a road around the twin tunnels below Sherars and o|x?n the road to Mack’s canyon, but the cost will i«‘ much higher said Johnson, than estimates announced. John Hllderbrand said BLM agents had told him a two lane road was planned. BI.M Head Inquire« Doug Bish K enny Zell noted that many Sherman eountians had received letters from Karl Ixindstrom, head of tiie BLM in Washington, inquir ing about local sentiment and the reasons therefore and that some had answered. letters were ap parently an effort to reach a sen sible conclusion On a motion by Max Barzee the club voted to write a letter on tiehalf of the county opposing the opening of the Deschutes because of the dan ger of fire to the wheat fields and the almost certain loss of grass from fire.
