Superintendent Chester L. Ward
is back in school this week after

fred McKay gave the invocation,

Probably next to mother-in-law
jokes, the most frequent
stories are built around the lady
and the home builder, in which
the lady from day to day so
changes the plans the builder is
always confused.
And that
seems to fit the
Washington sit
uation. Congressman
James Van
Dandt states

of imports of
cheap fuel oil

West Indies, U,

C.W. Harder
S. coal produc
tion has dropped from 145 million
tons in 1947 to 91 million tons In
1953. Coal industry employment
has dropped from 109,202 to 56,
668 in the same period and the
trend continues.
I'. S. is dumping ground for res
idual nils produced in these na
tions by big I'. S. oil corpora
tions. But Venezuela, whose
residual oil Is wrecking an entire
American industry recently Im
posed a tariff duty on V. S. alu
minum products up to 350 per
cent.
On question of containing Com
munism. Today U. S. troops ar
stationed all over the world;
thousands died in three years in
Korea. U. S. Vice President
states if French pull out of Indo
China, U. S. troops move in.
Yet in classic warfare, there
arc two grand points of strategy.
One is to des'roy enemy ability
to p'oduce; th? other is to main
tain a naval blockade. Yet Har
old Stassrn, in charge of the V.
S. giveaway programs tells Con
gress trade with Russia slim " J

could get tilings she needs.
When dairy support prices
v ! I !' n'i' ii r.f hiili'itenilfnt lluslnnl
were lowered, government sup
port prices on over one-third of a
billion dollars worth of govern
ment owned cheese also came
down about a nickel a pound.
But a long advance notice was
given of this drop in prices, so
cheesemakers unloaded millions
of pounds to the government at
the old support price, and bought
it back immediately after at new
lower price. Thus a profit of al
most a nickel per pound was
made without cheese leaving
producers warehouse.
It was announced this plan was
followed in hopes milk price paid
farmers would not be immediate
ly cut by the cheese makers. But
with three firms controlling most
of the U. S. cheese supply, milk
prices were cut long before date
cheese subsidy cut went into ef
fect. They can seem pretty naive
in Washington, too, at times.
Also among government sur
pluses are large stocks of linseed
oil, vital in paintmaking. Recent
ly the government sold 84 mil
lion pounds to European funis
for 7 cents per pound.
This might be cited as an ex
ample of what free world trade
means to the U. S. except for one
little tly in the oil.
The oil sold by the govern
ment for 7 cents per pound, ci-st
more than twice that amount. So
V. S. taxpayers lost about Sll
million on deal, still pay lii-vh
prices for paint to maintain
homes, farms, businesses.
So where is wonder over just
what plan, if any. is being fol
lowed in Washington.
Obviously the answer Is there
is no plan. It is also obvious if
government is going to avoid
bankrupting every American, de
stroying every Independent I'. S.
business, every American home,
a sound business plan must be
adopted soon and adhered to.
New Plant Clinic
Started by College
To Serve Growers
Fast, free "medical service" for
sick plants is now available to
Oregon farmers and gardeners
with the opening of a plant. clinic
at Oregon State college.
Diagnosis of plant diseases and
control recommendations can be
expanded under the new arrange
ment by staff plant pathologists,
according to Dr. S. M. Dietz, head
of the OSC botany and plant pa
thology department. He says that
while all colleges offer similar
services, the OSC operation is the
first in the West and the second
in the nation to be handled on a
systematic basis as a clinic with
an advisory staff.
Dr. H. J. Reilly, extension plant
pathologist, will be in charge of
the clinic which will draw upon
chestra furnished the music.
Musical novelties were given by
Bonnie Crum, Grace McCabe, Kay
Sherer, Joyce Casebeer, Leann
Padberg, Mardine Baker and Ann
Belle Coleman.
The members of the high
school enjoyed a picnic and wel

how to block sheep for the show.
Refreshments were served by Mrs
Baker after the meeting.
Mrs. Charles O'Connor reviewed
the book Time for Tapioca by
Stryker at the study meeting of
the Topic meeting at the Noel
Dobyns home Friday May 14. The
hostesses were Mrs. Dobyns, and
Mrs. John Proudfoot and Mrs.
O'Connor. At the business meet
ing, it was decided to have a
picnic at Maryhill Museum on
June 27 for the members and their
families.
Mrs. Grace Cunningham of

Millan accompanied Mrs. Dolzell
to her home in Spokane Monday.
Mrs. Winnie Zinter and grand
daughter, Lois Messenger and son
William, went to Spokane with
Charles Davidson recently. Miss
Evelyn Cowan, a niece of Mrs.
Zirrter, returned home from Spo

the entire plant pathology de
partment for consultants. Ex
perts in various fields of plants
diseases include Drs. J. A. Mil-1
brath, for stone fruits and pota
toes; Kay A. Young, nursery crops
and potatoes; J. R. Hardison, for
age crops; E. K. Vaughan, small
fruits and vegetables; F. P. Me

forest diseases.
Designed to speed up service to
the public, the plant clinic will
answer most requests promptly
depending upon the kind of di
sease or the stage of symptom
development. On some speci
mens, the pathologists can tell
what the disease is by merely ax
amining the plants as with peach
leaf curl, wheat smut, and other
readily identified diseases. On
others is is necessary to examine
parts of the plant under a mieri
scope. In the most difficult cases,
organisms found on the plant
specimines will be reared under
laboratory conditions to deter
mine which organism is the cause
of the disease. The rearing, or
cult tiring, may take from one to
three weeks.
Dr. Dietz says direct maining
of specimens to the plant clinic
will simplify handing of re
quests which, in the past, were
sent by farmers and home own
ers to any of several addresses at
the college. Under the old sys
tem specimens Improperly ad
dressed caused delays and hind
ered identification which is most
accurate when plants are fresh.
Complete records will be kept
of diseased plants received to as
sist pathologists in following sea
sonal development of various
crop diseases.
Persons sending in plants can
get faster service and more com
plete information, explains Dr.
O'Reilly. He has six suggestions;
1. Whenever practical, send
the whole plant.
2. Wrap with moist paper
toweling or newspaper and an
outer covering of wax paper or a
plastic bag.
3. Package or box securely so
the plants won't be crushed.
4. Get a special report form
if possible from your county ex
tension agent. Otherwise, attach
a letter giving the name of the
plant; part of the plant Injured;
extent of injury in the field or
orchard; general growing condi- end in the mail,
tions such as: heavy or light soil. cmlntv extension agents have
