I - . .. . 1:. 1 ( )regon is a good place to live and if you had been along to see the eros and conditions over most of the area covered you would agree that Morrow County Is a good place in which to farm. Northern midweiit .stales arc harvesting a crop failure. Dry weather all .spring with no rain until too late to do crops any good is the reason. Most crops are so short that they are almost im possible to cut. Many farmers in North Dakota are mowing their crops with side delivery at tachment to sickle bar and will pick up what they can out of the swath. This state that has ranked first in production in hard red spring wheat, second in produc tion of barley and first in produc tion of flax in the U. S. for years will slip back a notch this year. However, late rains will make for all occasions MARY VAN'S FLOWER SHOP Mi a good flax crop in most areas as this was late enough to escape the dry spell. Corn fields are spotted with some corn just com ing up while in moister sites it is in tassel.

Many rains were reported of Ihree to six inches corning within a few hours time. You would not have liked to see the forty by twenty mile strip of hail which cleaned out ail crops in a county in which I once worked. Several tornadoes wenf through the area cleaning out many farm buildings. North Dakota is booming with oil prospecting and it was quite a thrill to see wells being dug in the county which I left to come to Oregon. I still believe Morrow County farmers can be thankful that they live where they do.

Sy Ann 0d Plentiful cabbage prompt me to remind you of the myriad ways to vary the ever popular cole slaw. Start with grated cabbage, then add crushed pineapple, grated car rot and real mayonnaise. Or chop ped onion, green pepper and mus-tard-with-horseradish and may onnaise. Or diced apple, celery and mayonnaise. To '52 brides: a turklsh towel placed in the bottom of the slnlc is good Insurance against chipping or breaking your "best" china. A rubber nozzle on the faucet also prevents a good many accidents. Prepare tender young beets this quick and delicious way. In the bottom of a saucepan place 1 table spoon vitaminized margarine per serving, top with peeled, diced, raw beets, a sprinkling of salt, pinch of sugar; then tuck wet outer leaves of lettuce or cabbage over beets. Cover and cook gently tor 15 or 20 minutes. Beautiful color and marvelous flavor! If It's time to freshen up your treasured feather pillows, remem ber to air them thoroughly but not to sun them. Sun causes the feath ers' natural oils to dry out and destroys their resiliency. As a labor-saver make enough pastry dough for two pies. The sec ond part will keep In the refrigera tor for several days If wrapped tightly In waxed paper. casses was done in order to be better qualified for grading live stock of all kinds. Cattle, sheep and hops were graded on the hoof Tuesday following them through to the locker Wednesday, where carcasses were graded, comparing live and carcass grades. As the heat of the summer brings more flies to pester live stock, it would be well to consider this, taking off a few hours to get them in to spray. While everyone is so busy at this time of the year, this job Is oft times neglect ed. Do vou recall the drop In milk from the old milk cow as I lie flies began bothering her? Range cows take the same slump in milk as well as losing flesh from fichtinc flies. The slump in milk right now is bad for the calves they are sucking. With many of the ranges pretty well dried up cows need to spend much of their time grazing rather than fighting flies if they are to turn off a big calf this fall and go into the winter in good shape. Aspray of 12 pounds 50 DDT per 100 gallons of water using IVi gallons per cow will do the job on rani;e cattle.

Yes, we are referring to the fa miliar "5,105". A recent survey showed that most car owners don't. You may count yourself lucky if you do. These limits simply mean that no more than $500 will he paid to any one TERSON as a result of an accident in which you are held liable nor more than $10,0000 for ALL bodily injury claims from that accident. And the most that your Insurance company would he obligat ed to pay for damage to pro perty as a result of an ac cident is $5(XH1. Take an actual example. Suppose two people were in jured as a result of an ac cident and you were held liable. One was awarded S!H)O0 and the other $1000. While the total of $10,000 is within vour limits, the ex cess above $5000 or $1000 would still have to be paid by you in case of the person awarded S'.HXK) since it ex ceeds the maximum for any person. Doesn't this illustrate how IMPORTANT it is to have adequate coverage? Just a few dollars a year could buy much higher limits. May we check your policy, and show you exactly how little cost is involved? TURNER VAN MARTER &CO.
