Attending the tour from out of the county were: Floyd Billings, Roy Hobby, Ray and Ronald Hoeft, from the South Umatilla Soil Conservation District. The delegates toured by bus again this year, and from the steady hum tif conservation it sounded as if anyone enjoyed himself and caught up on their visits with neighboring farmers. It was an opportunity for all to see what his neighbor in other communi ties were doing. The trade missions which went to Euope, Asia and Latin Amer ica in April are now back.

He was just expressing his view of another trip to Salem over the familiar 50 miles of 99E.anrl that was why he crossed the river, started out on 99W, turned off to go through Tualatin and on to Wilsonville. He drove slowly past Aden's store and then down to the steep incline that leads to the ferry land ing. What luck! The Jesse Boone was on the nigh side, ready to load.

At a recent meeting of asub committee on acreage allotments of the Oregon Wheat Growers League, Lloyd I!owton, lone rancher, represented Morrow County Wheat Growers. The sub committee had been appointed earlier in the year to investigate acreage allotments, since there was a feeling at the last annual meeting of the Oregon Wheat Growers League that inequities existed between growers in other states and even between counties within the stale of Oregon. Reviewing the present law governing acreage allotments, it was found that county allotments are divided among farms on the basis of (1) acres of wheat (2) crop rotation (6) tillable acres ( lHopography (5) soil types. Af ler much deliberation, a number of recommendations were ap proved for consideration by the executive committee of the Ore gon Wheat Growers League. J. W.

' DONALD i TO SALEM Motoiiog makes leisurely Sun day afternoon family cliiw. At end of Tualatin's Main street h stately old home (above left) surrounded by venerable trees. Motorlog route through Butteville offered stop to inspect pioneer school and adjacent old town jail. He couldn't remember when he'd last been in Ronald. It must have been more than 20 years that time, when, having thumbed a ride with a bathtub salesman, he waited there outside a plumber's shop while the salesman made a call. Before t ' .n t he remembered it as a place w :o the trains stopped, the fine en trains of the Ore gon Elect: Wasn't there a power house be: id" the track at Donald? So on, paralleling the railroad track and then crossing it and running along it on the other side, through the country until the road ran out and into another and into the first houses of a town. Gervais Visited "Why this must be Gervais," he though. It was Gervais, that old town the highway lost. How many times had he sped by the sign of black and orange renting the way with civic pride to ,ervais, and he couldn't recall that he had ever been here. He was suddenly shocked to realize that he knew many of the remote places far in the sagebrush better than he knew the quiet little towns off the high way in his own valley. "Daddy, this isn't the way to Grandma's house," a child said querulously. "There are many, many ways to go to Salem," said the driver of the family bus. And as ne saia it he saw the many cars rushing pell mell through the country ahead of him and in a moment the little country road ended at the high way and the family bus was caught in the stream. It and its cargo sped headlong in the familiar channel. "This," said a satisfied voice from the back seat. "This is t..e way to Grandma's. Now we aren't lost anymore." I'leen told they were to get a boat ride. Downstream loomed the new highway bridge, long dreamed about and now reality of steel and concrete. Upstream the high bridge of the Oregon Electric where the green trains used to roll. The driver of the family bus never saw that bridge without remem bering the first thrill of crossing its long trestle, his 6-year-nose flattened to the window pane, and thinking then as he looked far, far down at the tiny cows in the pasture below that this was surely the highest bridge in the world. So up from the ferry landing and on. Ordinarily the driver of the family bus would have turned on to the straight stretch of pave ment which comes to the main highway north of Hubbard, but the same perversity which had turned him earlier made him in stead follow the sign pointing to Butteville. And after Butteville he followed a sign that pointed to Donald. Countryside Quiet Each turn brought a new sight. Here and there daffodils crowded carelessly down to the roadway. Now an old house, carefully and plainly, built in the manner of first settlers, and other old ones from times of later affluence, still wearing proudly the gingerbread their builders so proudly gave them. But it was more the serenity and quiet naturalness of a spring Sunday in the deep countryside that enthralled the driver of the family bus than anything he saw or heard. Again the angled cross-arms of Bonneville Power's line signaled the Oregon Electric's straight right-of-way and they came to Donald.
