Coming closer to home we find that taxes have
not doubled; quite, but that Morrow county is in
the somewhat unenviable position of having made
the largest increase from the standpoint of per
centage. This increase has elicited much unfav
orable comment from taxpayers residing in sec
tions where valuations were raised and it is not
unlikely that something of a formal protest will
be presented. It has even been hinted that an
effort will be made to rescind House Bill 80, al
though this law has not been in effect long .en
ough to fully establish its merits. The fact re
mains, however, tha't taxpayers are unhappy, not
alone with the local situation but with the pros
pect that federal taxes will be hiked when the
new congress begins to grind its axes.

PENSION LAW INOPERATIVE
The $50-a-month-minimum old !
age pension law enacted by the
vote of the people at the Novem

drawn and is just another un

Attorney General George Neu
ner ruled this week that the pen
sion law is "Invalid, inoperative
and of no effect." The ruling was
requested by the state board of
control and may become the ba
sis of a court test case.
"This act in the form in which
it now exists, has the character
istics of a legislative resolution
on the subject of public policy,
but when stripped of its surplus
age and otherwise ineffective
provisions it fails to enact such
public policy into law," Neuner
declared.

HOME EXTENSION UNIT NEWS
The home extension units of
Morrow county have . displayed
an encouraging amount of in
terest in their first meeting since
June 1947. Furniture arrange
ment, presented by Miss Mabel
Wilson and Myrtle Carter, prov
ed a topic that was of interest
to many homemakers. While at
tendance wasn't record breaking,
interest was high. Compared at
tendance is as follows: Rhea
Creek, 13 a.m., 14 p.m.; Heppner,
10; Lena, 6 a.m., 8 p.m.; lone, 17
a.m., 27 p.m.; Boardman, 13. Ir
rigon and Lexington units are
to meet this week.
This is a good start but many
more homemakers in each com
munity are yet to be reached.
The home extension program is a
service provided by the U.S.D.A.,
Oregon State college and Morrow
county cooperating. It is avail
able to all rural homemakers
who wish to take advantage of
this educational offer.

it define the Overcoats made by Curlee. It Is simply

The "new look" seems to be
affecting Bossle. She is becoming
more modest, what with girls ev
en covering their legs now. So,
to prevent any brooding com
plexes from unbalancing Bossie's
mind, a psychiatrist has designed
a bovine bra. A Los Angeles firm
is already in production.
The support is canvas with four
elongated sacks which cradle the
teats. Apart from the modesty
protection value of Bossie's bras
siere, the inventor predicts the
extra support will allow milk to
run into the udder more freely
and Increase production 25-30.
A so-far unexplored implica
tion is possible prevention of
mastitis by getting something
between the udder and a cold
clammy floor.
Rolph Crum, lone, called at the
office recently in regard to types
and size of nozzles for a spray
boom he is building. Specifica
tions were given, taking Into con
sideration spacing of nozzles,
height of boom above ground
speed of travel, and pressure at
which sprayer will be operated.
Crdm s sprayer is of large capa
city and a 70-foot boom will be
used. There is quite some Inter
est in sprayers and spraying
again this fall. Anyone who is
contemplating getting a rig ready
for spraying should consider all
of the points for good and accur
ate coverage with spray mater
ials.
Nitrogen application on wheat
looks profitable again this fall
and many farmers are asking
about nitrogen supplies. A receitt
letter from Art King, soil conser
vation specialist, Oregon State
college, reveals that the shortage
is goingto be worse than ever
unless supplies are purchased
now. The plant at Salem, which
supplies a large quantity of the
ammonium sulfate used in Ore
gon has satisfied the demand for
fall application. No storage space
is available to store large quan
titles of fertilizer. The plant
must close down and cancel its
allocation of ammonia, which by
the way is very critical. It would
be a good idea for farmers to be
accumulating their next year's
need now, if they want to be as
sured of a supply.
Miss Agnes Kolshorn, extension
nutrition specialist from Oregon
State college, conducted an all

economics laboratory of Heppner

meeting was to train two women

These women will conduct a slm

for their unit meetings.
Miss Kolshorn demonstrated
three types of chickens in prepar

showed proper dressing of a
chicken and the carving of a
roasted one. The conclusion of
the meeting was the showing of
