No Cause for Worry
If you Rrp one of the older feneration who has
been worrying about what is to become of the
eountry now that you are about to release your
share of the control, don't worry any longer. Take
your retirement in stride and enjoy the fruits of
your labors. The country's going to be all right.
The younger generation will take over and prob
ably do a better job than their forebears.
One gains that impression after attending a
4-II club function and learns of some of the
things the young folks are doing. Kids of that
age know more about livestock, farm problems,
cooking and sewing and numerous other pro
jects they are working on than most of their el
ders had learned by the time they were privileg
ed to vote. And those who have livestock projects
have, for the most part, learned more about fin
ances than most of us knew at twice their age.
One also learns that the door to opportunity
is as wide open today as it was in those long
gone days when the country wsa new. The young
people have the advantage of learning or rather
profiting by the mistakes of the older genera
tion. They are being trained along lines of con
servation to overcome some of the handicaps
imposed on them through the improvident devel
opment of our agriculture and in this they are
attaining greater wisdom. They are learning
to live better, to appreciate the better things of
life. And the nice part about it is they are hav
ing a lot of clean, wholesome fun while they
are learning.
It is a pleasure to note that 4-H club work
is on the upgrade in Morrow county. Good lead
ership is being developed and progress is being
made. New clubs are starting up and more are
planned. There should be activity enough to
claim the attention of every young person of
that age in the county. It can be done if enough
leaders can be found. The pleasure obtained
from the work by those who have followed
through for several years should be an inspira
tion to others.
One of the highlights of a 4-H clubber's career
is to attend the summer school on the Oregon
Hayes of Lexington has consented to cover that
section of the county and her first grist of news
will be found elsewhere in the paper. The paper
is indebted to Mrs, A. M. Edwards for having
carried on for the past two or three years. Her
contributions were voluntary as she did not wish
to obligate herself for a weekly column but felt
the community should be represented. Arrange
ments have been made with Mrs. Owen Leath
ers to send in items from Kinzua and we are
looking forward to the return of the former cor
respondent at Hardman to the columns of the
Gazette Times. There must be someone in each
community who could send in items to the
county paper. There are happenings every week
that would be of interest if they were given
publicity.
like to hear an encouraging word from you.
This is a good bill an.l worthy of your favorable
consideration. There will be opposition, no
doubt, yet whe.it is one of the bij; cropsindus
tries, if you ple.ise-in Oregon and anything
done to stabilize the industry will be of bene
fit to the entire state. Drop a line to your repre
sentatives today and tell them you are with
them. Just feeling inclined toward the measure
will not suffice. They should know how you
feel about it

House Bill No. 176
House Bill No. 176 is the Eastern Oregon Wheat
League sponsored bill introduced in the Oregon
legislature by Representatives French, Peterson,
Lindberg, Lieuallen, Eberhard, Heisler, Chind
gren, McKenzie, Lage, Morse, R. H. C. Bennett
and Frisbie, and Senators Engdahl, Ellis, Fat-
land, Dunn, Zurcher and Stadelman.
To make it clear just what the bill is the in
troductory paragraph is qouted herewith:" "For an
act relating to and providing for the promotion
and advancement of the state of Oregon through
the development of industries based on agricul
ture; creating a state research and development
agency; providing funds by an impost on pro
ducts of the industry affected; providing penal
ties for violations; providing a saving clause and
declaring an emergency."
While times have been good for the wheatrais
ers in recent years, the farmers are not unaware
that history has a habit of repeating and they
are looking ahead to the time when they will
again be on their own; that is, without govern
ment price 'guarantees, subsidies, and the like.
A surplus of wheat is grown in the state and
during recent years that surplus has been in ex
cess of available markets. To meet this condi
tion the Wheat League proposes to set up a
State college campus. Due to housing shortage commission for the study of new uses-for wheat.

operation of the plan. To meet the expense, a
tax of one-half cent per bushel of all grain

channels, beginning with and including wheat
harvested in the crop of 1947, and each and ev
ery crop thereafter. "Said tax shall be levied and
assessed to the grower at the time of sale, and
shall be deducted by the first purchaser from
the price paid to the grower."
