Well, the first big spasm of this election year Is over for Oregon and practically every voter and election protfnostirator (including us) has spent this week bolh patting himself on the back and licking his wounds. As in nearly every other elec tion, we have yet to see any one person or paper" who came up with a 100 batting average on this one ours, we would guess, was Just middling good. , We fanned out in calling the race for Con gress, didn't set any record, either, in our choice for state'trcasurer. In the local race for state repre sentative our selections were only half right we failed to see the power behind Jack Steiwer. In most of the rest of the races our suggestions were pretty close to the vote. Even though we missed our share, so did both Portland papers and others, too. Maybe we should have done as did the East Oregonian pick them afterwards. We tried to pick the men we thought were the best fitted for th jobs. Come fall, the job has to be done all over again and probably we will sug gest nipport for men we asked to be defeated this spring. That's one of the interesting things about an election in America. . . it, and the voters, are so unpredictable. Guess that's what makes one of 'em so interesting.' Regardless of whether our selections were per. feet or not, a lot of good men were nominated by both parties which means that voters this fall, are going to have a full slate of able men from which to choose, something which heralds a healthy re vival of the long-dormant Democratic party in Oregon. Too, the turnout of voters throughout the state was a good indication of a greater voter in terest in politics. The more we think about it, the more we realize that it's really a good thing that we can't all pick winners every time. It would take all the fun out of an election. There's just one thing, though, that in a way makes us feel a little sad not that we'd stick up for him, but he will be missed we wonder what the Portland papers are going to use for local front once stor ies now that Jake Bennett has been sent to the showers? Others Do It Too! We noted the other day with a sort of smug nleasure that other newspapers make errors too. We dk'n't mean to rub it in, but this one, pulled bv an Eastern Oregon weekly bears repeating. It f tated: "Mr. had just decently arrived from Chicago for a visit wiht his nephew. ' I. O. O. F. HALL DECORATED The redecoratlon of the Odd fellows hall in a modern manner and in light colors was completed last week. Open house will be held soon for members and their guests. o Mr. and Mrs. I. C. Payne spent the weekend In Pendleton with his mother, Mrs. George N. Perry and Mr. Perry. The party drove to Pasco Sunday to pend the day with relatives. From The County Agent's Office By N. C. Anderson The attention of our farmers is called to tho announcement of the State Conservation field day to be held at tho Roy Forman ranch on May 2(. Mr. Forman was selected as 1951 State "Con servation Man of the Year". Far mers would find his farm of in terest through conservation prac t ices he has established. It would be helpful If those who plan to attend this field day next Mon day would call this office maybe someone would like to ride with you. A recent check cf the weed con Irol program carried out by Mor row County last year shows re sults better than we had hoped. This is especially true in the con trol of Russian Knapweed. Where three gallons of 2,4-D in 100 gal lons of water r acre was used kills up to 90 have been found. Spraying done in latter May and very early June show best results. The county spray program for 1952 was started April 20 with most spraying to date on roads for Russian Thistle control. Some cattail spraying has been done in Boardman. Spraying for noxi ous weeds will start within a few days. Farmers who know of nox ious perennial weeds on highway right-of-ways should report these to Wilbur Akers, County Weed Supervisor or to this office. Last weeks cattle grading de monstration at the Frank Ander son ranch nrougnt out anoui fifteen ranchers interested in this kind of work. During Friday af ternoon and Saturday morning 85 head were graded. Frank should be proud of the fine herd of cat tle he has built up in the past few years. Grades given the cat tle by Harry Lindgren, Extension Animal Husbandman, snowed that the herd was quite uniform Six head carried grades in the A class, sixty-nine in the B class, with only seven in the C class. Of special signiticanee was the A Class given to a young bull raised by Mr. Anderson and now in lim ited use in the herd. A grades are few and far between in herds throughout the country.

Just keep these simple points in mind" when you make telephone calls: When you have a series of calls to make, allow a few minutes between them Make sure the line is clear before you call Replace the receiver properly in its cradle after calling. These . suggestions will mean still better party-line service for you, too. For if you make them a habit, you'll find that they give people a better chance to call you. emergency colls inav arise while you are using your party-line. If a telephone neighbor breaks in and explains the emergency, it's always thoughtful to hang up . and complete your call later.
