Tut yourself in the other
driver's ".shoes". You are
driving along a highway
when all of a sudden a car
whizzes through a stop sign
at an intersection. It hits
your car broadside, upsets
it, and injures you.
After the initial shock and
perhaps anger at this un
necessary accident you ask
one question, "Does he have
insurance?" Believe me It Is
reassuring and comforting,
if the answer is "yes".
On the other hand there
is a sinking feeling if the
answer is "no." Then you
have to determine if the
other driver has sufficient
assets to pay for all the
damages and injuries. If
not, you are out of luck,
lie has failed in a basic obli
gation to other drivers, but
you have to foot the bills.
Now, get back ' in your
own car. YOU are the
driver who absentmindedly
sped past the stop sign.
You've just caused a bad
accident. Don't you think
it would be comforting to
YOU, as well as the other
driver, to know you had
ADKQUATE INSURANCE?
Of course! !
The time to secure, or re
view, your auto insurance is
NOW before an accident
happens.
Stop by and talk it over.

The fair season will soon be are prepared, books and records
ended for this year. A success-1 brought up to date, tax reports
ful Morrow County Fair and j filed, complaints received on
Rudeo has just been concluded, I errors made, etc, etc. We hope 1953
the North Morrow County Fair I holds as successful a fair in re-
will be a thine of the past by the 'serve for us
time a new week starts.
While it always gives a great
deal of satisfaction to work with
these events and to see the pro-
,,riiuc. mulo In 4 II nnri adult
agricultural exhibits from year ins service being offered by Pen-
to year, it is with a sigh of relief
Some interesting figures are be
ing brought before many farmers
these days for those who have
taken advantage of the soils test-
when endeif. Many hours of pre
paration are spent by too few to
make these events run smoothly
and serve as a means of agricul
tural education.
All events at the Morrow Couny
Fair and Kodeo seemed to bo en
joyed and proved successful. The
building of a new box stall pad
dock at the grounds for the ever
growing horse show proved to be
a life-saver in handling the 167
horse exhibits made this year.
The annual 4-H fat livestock
sale was, with the good coopera
tion of Morrow County ranchers,
again a success. We say Morrow
Countv ranchers, since it was
noted that few businesses sup
ported the sale. A few new buy
ers were with the 4-II boys and
girls this year. Among them we
find Frank Hamlin of Akins Pas
time, Oddfellows Lodge, Claude
White, Dale Brown, Hay Dolvin,
Alton Osrnin and Bernard Doh
erty. With these and the old
"stand-bys" prices averaged, for
beef ArVi cents, lambs 50 cents,
hogs 52 cents. Something new
was the addition of two Tillamook
Dairy calves raised by Janet and
Patsy Wright. These were auc
tioned to bring $295 and $200 re
spectively. John Varner, Hermis
ton, cried the sale, as his contri
bution to the event, again this
year.
With much concern and con
troversy over how the newly
seeded turf would effect Kodeo
events and stand up under the
tough abuse, many will be dis
appointed that there is no heavy
damage visible. There was little
attention paid to the turf as far
as rodeo contestants were con
cerned. And so another year of fair is
passed 'try for many. We in this
office will be reminded of it for
days to come as premium checks

Leroy Warner, soils specialist,
doing this analysis work for Pen

it is surprising the number of far
mers who are not aware of -the
depth of the soil an their farm
until accompanying him or re
ceiving tests in their fields. Many
remarks of the small amount of
soil left and show concern over its
conservation.

Recent consigners at the Har

Sale at Burns were disappointed
in prices received. It appears that
the slump in beef cattle prices are
affecting bull prices too. Aver

sale a year ago.
The Oregon Cattlemen's Ass'n

on September 23, should serve as
a check to see if bull sales will
continue this fall as the Burns

A visit to several irrigation
projects on Kock Creek in Eastern
Gilliam County, last week re
vealed big things being done on
this small creek bottom. The trip,
made with Ed Collison, manager
of our local REA, was very edu
cational and pointed out that
electricity for pumping irriga
tion water is here to stay.
Harvey Smith, lone, is using
several irrigation 'sets" to pump
water for irrigated pastures and
has many more acres to so im
prove. One piece of 8 acres has
carried 17 heifers all spring and
summer, produced 12 tons of hay
and is now carrying 25 head of
cattle. There is no indication that
feed became scarce at any time.
On the Frank Warren ranch over
100 acres are flooded now from
Rock Creek and a new well just
put in operation. This well is per
haps the most outstanding in this
area in that 1800 gallons per
minute is being pumped. Mr.
Warren states that he is running
considerably better than three
cows and calves per acre and can
do better by more efficient hand
ling. Farmers who are interested in
irrigated pastures and especially
pumping with electricity would
do well to visit these projects.

The Stain That Wasn't There
BY C. B. AMTONSON-
" (Reprinted From National Cleaner & Dyer, September 1952
STAINS THAT DID NOT SHOW when the garment was
brought in for dcycleaning are one of the main causes
of customer complaints.
The customer may be quite sincere and justified in
saying the stain was not there before the garment was
drycleaned. In many cases the stain, although present,
is not actually visible until it has been developed dur
ing the drycleaning process.
Caramelized sugar and tannin: Probably the most
common stains developed during drycleaning are tannin
stains and those recently classified by the National
Institute of Cleaning and Dyeing as reducing sugars.
Both of these types react almost identically, changing
from invisibility to a color varying from tan to dark
brown.
Stains in this category include fruit juices, coffee,
tea, soft drinks such as root beer, Coca Cola, etc., toma
toes, beer and others. When the substances first con
tact a garment they are not very evident, and in many
instances they do not appear to have stained the gar
ment at all. Neither the customer nor the drycleaner
is aware that these stains are present. Then when the
garment is cleaned the heat necessary in such processes
as deodorization and finishing is usually sufficient to
develop these stains into their characteristic color.
Once the stain has become developed or set in this
manner the spotter is unable to remove it. When the
customer examines her garment she sees the stain for
the first time, and blames the drycleaner with the
classic statement, "The stain wasn't there when I sent
this dress to be cleaned."
Oxidized oil: There are other stains that react in the
same manner. One that is equally troublesome is known
to the industry as an "oxidizing oil." This classification
includes such oils as linseed oil, salad dressings, mayo
nnaise, French dressing, cooking oils. These oils tend
to oxidize very readily, taking on a color ranging from
a brown to a dark gray. Once they have become oxi
dized it is usually impossible to remove or even to
lighten the stains in color.
Too often when a customer says she spilled some
grease on a garment the drycleaner is quick to remark
that grease comes out easily in the drycleaning solvent.
Mineral oils and greases do readily come out in solvent.
This type of oil or grease is no problem because it does
not oxidize or oxidizes at a very low rate. However,
if what the customer calls "grease" is an ozidizing oil,
the drycleaner is in for trouble when she gets back her
garment with the stain even more pronounced than
when she handed it over to him.
Color changes: Cold-wave solutions have been causing
the drycleaner considerable grief in the past few years.
This stain also is not evident to the customer unless it
has been in the garment long enough to have become
oxidized through normal exposure to the oxygen of the
oir. But heat appears to speed this action up consider
ably and very often this type of damage is noted only
after cleaning. In this instance the "stain" is actually
loss of color which can only overcome by redyeing.
Chemicals such as acids and alkalies can often be
the source of "the stain that wasn't there." Acids that
do not evaporate completely from the fabric are a po
tential source of color loss that might be considered
a stain. This occurs because acetate dyestuffs lose their
color when exposed for any length of time to an acid
condition. Thus anti-perspirants used under the arms
very often cause a loss of color on some fabrics.
In some instances such acids may only cause a color
change which can be overcome when the acid condi
tions is neutralized with an alkali such as ammonia.
In other cases such color changes cannot be overcome
even by neutralizing the acid.
Alkalies, particularly the strong ones such as caustic
soda, will also cause color damage that might be ap
parent only after cleaning. If the alkali has been in the
garment for any length of time the color cannot be
Restored by neutralizing.
Bleaching agents of various types are another pos
sible source of unseen stains. These generally result
in a loss of color. If the action is fast enough, due to
high concentration of the bleach, the customer may
become immediately aware of such damage. On the
other hand, if the bleach was in a more reduced strength
it may take some time for the color to become affected.
In fact, it may take just long enough for the garment
to have been sent to the drycleaner.
What to do about it: The arguments that these cases
create between drycleaner and customer are regrettable.
It can readily be seen that the customer's insistence
thaf'the stain wasn't there when I sent it to be cleaned"
might very likely have been the case. Nevertheless, it
hardly seems fair to place the blame for the develop
ment of these stains on the. drycleaner, who was just
as unaware of their presence before cleaning as was
the customer. To my knowledge, no practical method
has been developed by which the drycleaner can detect
these hidden stains.
