Happiness and good will are the order if f tfie day Grain and hay production prices, and value or sales in ure- gon from 1025 to 1952 are charted in a new extension service bul letin just released by Oregon State college. The bulletin, edited by B. W. Covle. extension agricultural eco nomist, points out that grain and hay are Oregon's most important crops in terms of acreage and value of sales. Although wheat acreage has shown little change throughout the period roughly one million acres annually production hit its peak with an estimated 3 Omillion bushels in 1952. this exceeded by i4 million bushels the harvest from a comparable acreage in 1929.

Acreage and production of all hay in Oregon for 1925 to 1952 has been relatively constant with al falfa accounting for about three fourths of total cash receipts from hay crops in 1951.

The music sheets for those nos talgic strains simply say "Robert Burns Scotch Air," and Robert Burns generally is supposed to have written it after he had set tled down on a farm and taken himself a wife, following the sweeping success in 1778 of the sec ond edition of his "Poems." Well and good, but Auld Lang Syne was not exclusively a Burns' product, nor did he claim It to be. In a letter to George Thomson, a publisher, Burns explained: "It is an old song of olden times, which has never been in print. I took it down from an old man's singing.". Modern scholarship has discov ered that Burns was wrong when he told Thomson "Auld Lang Syne" never had been In print. Its refrain, at least, was printed obscurely long before Burns heard his "old man singing." Further, the original song often has been credited to Sir Robert Aytoun (157Q-1638). Aytoun was one of the earliest Scots to use the low land dialect as a literary medium. Multitudes of Americans decended from non-British stock are per petually mystified by this dialect, nor does it seem to make much sense in the standard English translation. Regardless of its original author and origin, it was Burns who gave "Auld Lang Syne" its immortality.' And though the bells now welcome the New Year with joyous peals, symbolizing mankind's hope for a bright future, the nostalgiast of "Auld Lang Syne" summarizes an adherent reluctance to leave the security and friendship of the past and embark upon a future which, however promising, may not be more pleasant. Thus, it remains a part of the English speaking herit age to "Drink a cup of kindness yet For Auld Lang Syne." Among those from Heppner in Pendleton the last of the week to attend the Shrine benefit basket ball game between the Phillips Oilers and the Pacific Trailers of Seattle were Raymond Ferguson, Mr. and Mrs. P.
