Strike One!
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

guests.

Mr. and Mrs. I. C. Payne spent

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.
