Why Advertising Helps You
Advertising Recognition Week is February 11
to 20. To the casual reader, a week set aside for
such purpose may seem completely unexciting
and meaningless, but closer observation will re
veal the importance of paying proper homage to
a product and a profession which have played a
major role in the development of both our econ
omy and our political system.
Particularly appropriate is the theme of Adver
tising Recognition Week: "Advertising Benefits
You It Benefits Everyone." This is true. Not
only, for instance, does the manufacturer of a
product benefit by advertising, but also the con
sumer. And even if you do not happen to be the
consumer, the indirect benefits filter down to you
through increased production, consumption and
resulting money circulation and general prosperity-
FARM BUREAU TO HEAR
HELL'S CANYON TALK
Clint Sincleir, representative
for the Hell's Can on Associa'tTrTn
will speak at the Farm Bureau
meeting next Tuesday at 8 p. m.
at the Lexington Grange hall,
Bureau officers announced Wednesday.
But consider some of the other benefits of
advertising. It has made, and makes possible,
abundant use of communication facilities this
newspaper, as an example; radio, TV, and the my
riad of publications you find on your newsstand.
Abolish their use of advertising, and they would,
no doubt, be beyond financial reach of many peo
ple. Here in America, where advertising has
reached its greatest consequence, the news of the
world, its analysis, the world's great literature,
art, music and kindred other contributions are at
your fingertips for little or nothing. This is a
result of advertising.
And it is this same advertising which has bol
stered and informed America against tyranny and
oppression since the days of one of our edrliest j stored
and foremost advertising men, Benjamin Franklin
Thus, we may well pause and appreciate both
American genius in advertising, and the end pro
duct in itself. Truly, it benefits you and it bene
fits everyone.
proached during the last week,
being offered $25 a bushel for
their barley that they produce
this year. With the grain stor
age problem such as it is, and
prospects for a good harvest,
many are worrying about what
they will do with their barley.
The price which they have been
offered is $25 and $30 a ton. Our
advice to these farmers has been
to be slow In contracting their
barley for such a price. The bar
ley price support program, an
nounced, will bring from $50 to
$55 on your farm. We do not have
the difinite price rate for this
county, although we expect it to
be announced any day now. Of

to take land out of wheat. If you
need help in developing pasture
mixes and recommendations, we
would be glad to help you.
An indication that Pacific
Northwest livestockmen are
realizing the value of high qual
ity livestock was demonstrated
at the recent Red Bluff Bull Sale
at Red Bluff, California. In each
of the four breeds sold at Red
Bluff, those grading highest
brought by far the highest aver
age prices. For the 2X2 animals
sold those grading one-minus,
the top grade, went for 50 more
money than the average of bulls
in the next lower grade, or 2 plus.
Bulls grading less than two-minus
were sifted for the sale. For
the entire sale, ten one-minus
hulls averaged $1,278.00 ; 48 two
plus bulls averaged $821.98; 151
two-grade bulls averaged $581.37;
while 73 two-minus grade bulls
brought only $.!8!)!)3, average.
Now is the time for farm folks
to get their tree orders to the
Stale Forestry Department, Salem,
before the March 15th deadline.
They will ship the seedlings
when you are ready for them,
however there is no need to put
off planting as long as the soil is
such that the trees can be set out.
For Eastern Oregon there is
still a wide choice of trees in
cluding Ponderosa pine, Scotch
pine, lodge pole pine, Chinese
Arhorvltae, Black locust, Russian
olive, Caragana, Chinese elm, and
Russian mulberry. The two year
old conifers are priced at $!) per
thousand, the one year old broad
leaf's at $S per thousand. No or
der is accepted for less than 50
trees of a singfe species or for
less than for one dollar. The
cost includes shipping charges.
The trees are sold only for farm
or forest plantings and purchas
ers must certify that they have
not less than three acres under
cultivation. The regular order
blanks used in ordering these
trees are available from the
county agent's office.
With the weather warming up
a bit and spring just around the
corner, seeding of grasses and le
gumes for pasture should be up
permost in the minds of many.
Don't forget them, they are the
cheapest feed available. When
beef cattle were selling above
thirty cents a pound there was a
rush of interest in pastures all
over Oregon. Now that beef cat
tle prices are cut squarely in half,
some of this interest has died
down . . . the question is, should
it?
Since it is harder to make
money from cattle now, there is
all the more reason to concen
trate efforts on pastures for
cheaper feed. Pasture costs only1
from one half to one fourth as
much as either hay or grain, so
when prices are low and the fight
between outgo and income gets
intense with the bank account as
first prize, then it is all the more
Important to study ways to re

established this year with less
expense than for many years due
to cheaper seed, in some cases a

O. W. Cutsforth, Lexington
rancher, has recently added to
the good quality livestock that
can be found in Morrow county.
Mr. Cutsforth bought Prumode

led Hereford bull at the recent
Northwest Polled Hereford Sale
held at Yakima, Washington. This
bull, of excellent quality, should
do much to improve the Cuts
forth herd.
Consigning at the sale was

showed the junior champion
bull.

HERMISTON Neil Beamer of
Heppner topped the market at
the Hermiston livestock auction
with a 415 lb. sow selling for
$23.80 cwt., Delbert Anson, man
ager of the sale, reported.
Icy roads which failed to thaw
early enough to permit farmers
to truck cattle to the sale cut
volume and discouraged farmer
and feeder buyers from attending.
Packer buyers were present in
usual numbers but were unable
to find sufficient cattle in many
instances to load car lots.
Consigned were 170 cattle com
pared with 340 the previous Fri
day, 39 hogs compared with 159
and 105 sheep compared with 211.
Prices were steady to slightly
weaker, except for slightly
stronger feeder lambs. Quality
was generally lower except on
sheep.

problem has been relieved some
what. We are sure that there
will be some distress barley that
will bring considerably under the

will be good feed barley as a

In the recent smut report for
the 1953 crop for the Pacific North,
west, some interesting informa
tion is presented. While the per
centage of bushels grading smut
ty in 1953 was 3.7, compared to
27.8 in 1952, this is still almost
five million bushels of smutty
wheat. Many people are happy
about this situation, but there is
always a bit of caution to be of- butterfat
fered. For instance, in 1942 less
than 3; of the wheat crop of the
Pacific Northwest graded smutty,
since that time wheat smut has
caused an estimated loss of about
150,00,000 in this region. In other
words, the low incidence of smut
in 1953 is not a valid basis for
overly optimistic conclusions.
Wheat smut is a resourceful crit-!
ter. Records show that it has
ways of coming back. It has done
just that in the past, and proba
bly will again.
