The People Want To Know
Citizens and taxpayers of the county have
voted no less than three times on the hospital,
pach time adding substantially to their tax burden
In the hope that the way would be cleared for
early construction. Added to the tax votes, a good
many of our citizens have given generously to the
special subscription campaign closed a few weeks
ago when they were told that "this is is; when
this fund is raised (the additional $20,000) every
thing will be cleared for early construction."
The people who sought the pledges in the dona
tion campaign and the people who made the
NATIONAL DITORIAI
ASSOCIATION
pledges did so in good faith. The money was sub
scribed with the expectation that "Form No. 3"
would be signed immediately and the way clear
ed for the government to add its grant to the
fund. At the recent primary election a majority
of the voters gave their approval once more to
the hospital. It has been several weeks since all
the approving called for has been met by the
people, yet apparently no official action has been
taken. If we are properly informed the only action
necessary is for one official to sign "Form No. 3."
What the people want to know is, why hasn't the
form been signed and what is all the stalling
about?

Big Jim Farley, retired demo

general in Roosevelt's adminis
tration for seven years was in Sa
lem Friday. He now is top hand
on the Cocoa Cola Export board
but keenly interested in poli
tics and sticking to "Jim Farley's
Story," book under his arm when
interviewed.
He believes Stassen lost the

Dewey for a debate and conse-,

The state is borrowing money
again. There are a great many
people who can't see w!iy, with
idle millions, the stato is forever
getting into the red. The state
treasurer Friday borrowed $477,

June 14. The money was obtained
from Portland bankers. at 1 14

The sum will be repaid with li
quor sales profits. State officials
are planning to ask the next
legislature to double the emer
gency fund and the state restora
tion fund. The emergency fund
now is $500,000 and the restora

tain off the Voice of America
broadcasts Mr. Truman hurried
ly commented at a press confer
ence that the broadcasts were un
der contract to a private broad
casting firm, thereby indicating
the State Department was not re
sponsible for the fiasco.
At almost the same moment
Mr. Truman sought to absolve the
State Department of any blame
in the matter, the ranking Demo
crat member of the important
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, Texas' Senator Tom Con-
nally, was engaging in the fol
lowing debate on the Senate floor
over the proper assignment of the
investigation of broadcasts:
SENATOR CAPEHART: "I
again say that the State Depart
ment is taking the position that
they contracted for this work
with the broadcasting companies
and that they have no responsi
bility concerning it. If that be
true, then it is a domestic affair."
SENATOR CONNALLY: ;'If that
is the attitude of the State De
partment, the State Department
is WTong. If I have an option to
do or not to do something, and I
make a contract with someone
else to do it, he is doing it for me
and I am responsible. THE STATE
DEPARTMENT CANNOT WASH
ITS HANDS OF RESPONSIBIL
ITY." Later in the floor debate mater
ial was introduced into the rec
ord as provided by one of the

lowing statement:
"He (Mr. Borgia) has never

Three minutes later in the
same debate Senator Capehart

of a letter written by Mr. Borgia
to Congressman Taber in March
in which he explained that he
was not responsible for what had

Main Insect pest of the week
seems to be aphids attacking
roses. At least a great many ot
fice and phone calls were re
ceived on this problem the part
few days For those of you who
have been watching the aphids
suck the juices from the plants, !
causing leaves 10 tun aim nya
to dwarf and die, it is time to
give the bushes a good spraying.
The old reliable tobacco solu
tions are still recommended for
aphis control The following for
mula is used for spraying:
2 tablespoons 40 nicotine.
14 pound fish oil soap.
12 gallons of water. ..
The soap dissolved in water
and nicotine added. Do not spray
blossoms.
If you prefer dusting, a nico
tine dust containing 2 percent
free nicotine is best. This should
be applied at weekly intervals as
long as the pest Is found on the
bushes.
The county agent is attending
the Pacific Northwest Crop Im
provement association annual
meeting at the Marcus Whitman
hotel in Walla Walla on Friday,
June 11. The speakers with sub

sprays in weed control, and smut
control.
Here's a tip-off on another bug
nuisance. This time it is the po
tato flea beetle which is show
ing up in Morrow county the past
few days.
The potato flea beetle is a
small, black bug that hops
around like a flea. It eats small
round holes in the leaves of the
plants This is not the real dam
age, though, as it lays eggs in
the soil around the potato plant.
These eggs hatch into worms,
and the worms feed on the grow
ing potatoes.
To control the potato flea bee
tle, use a three to five percent
DDT dust at the rate of 20 pounds
per acre. To do a good job it is
important to get the dust on be
for the bug has a chance to lay
its eggs.

Perennial weed control time is
here again. Morning glory and
Canada thistle are the main
weeds that Morrow county farm
ers will want to control by the
use of 2,4-D. The best stage in
Canada thistle growth to apply
2,4-D is when flower buds are
beginning to show or swell.
Morning glory is controlled best
when growing actively.
The college recommends two
pounds of active 2,4-D per acre.
