It's our big weekend, but it's all for you. We
hope you enjoy it with us!
School Days Call for Driving Care
With school starting again next week in all
county districts, as well as in many other sections
of the state, car drivers must again use caution
when passing school grounds, safety lanes and
school buses.
One very important state law, which is inoper
ative during the summer vacation, requires all
cars to stop when meeting or overtaking a school
bus which is stopped to load or unload students.
The reason for such a law is obvious, and most
drivers observe the ruling more from a desire to
be careful and save lives than just because it is a
state law. Yet there are those who forget, and It
Is for them that this reminder is given.
Youngsters don't always watch for dangerous
traffic hazards no matter how much safety is
drilled into them at home and at school, that is
why It is up to drivers to watch out for them.
Oregon's posted speed laws and taffic regula
tions are designed to save lives and injuries, yet
all the traffic officers in the state can't keep some
drivers from daily threatening to kill themselves
and others. We all need to use out heads a little
more when we drive if only to save our own
necks.
LN HOMETOWN AMERICA
From The
County Agent's Office
By N. C. Anderson
As time grows nearer to seed
ing time, farmers are thinking
and discussing more regarding
the use of diverted wheat acres.
There is quite some interest in
grasses and legumes, others are
going to seed out gulleys and
waterways. But the majority of
our farmers are yet undecided
what to do with a third of their
land which has in the past pro
duced them a cash crop.
At a meeting at Denver of the
head of the various agencies con
cerned with the decisions in our
farm agricultural program should
decide soon what the program
will lie. There lias been some
talk of relaxing the strict allot
ment program to allow farmers
to seed part of their diverted
acres to cash crops. Some are
speculating that this will be the
outcome of these meetings. It is
expected however that it will go
hand in hand with a program
aimed at getting more land into
conservation practices. For in
stances, some provision may be
made whereby if a person carries
out specific conservation prac
tices on a portion of hte land he
would be allowed to seed another
percentage to cash crops in ex
cess of his wheat acres. We
are sure that some important an
nouncements will be made soon.

The Store of Personal Service
in 1953, showed an increase over
1952. The total gain for the na
tion has been reported at around
5.4 percent. Taxes levied on
farm land have increased for the
eleventh consecutive year. The
largest increase was in Nebraska
this past year where there was
a 22 percent increase for taxes
levied on farm real estate. This
was due to a new state equaliza
tion program which resulted in
shifting the tax burden from per
sonal property and public utili
ties to real estate. One state,
Nevada, showed a two percent
decrease. In Oregon, the gain in
taxes levied on farm real estate
during 1953 showed an increase
of 3.8 percent over 1952.

For those who have been won
dering about the disappearance
of the goatweed beetles that were
released in goatweed patches
earlier this summer, these should
be no fear. It is entirely normal
for these beetles to disappear at j
this time of the year. Briefly the ,
life history of the insect is as fol
lows: the adult beetles immergo
during later April or May and
feed on the foHage of .goatweed.
The later part of June and in
July, the fully fed beetles seclude
themselves beneath stones and
in the soil and hibernate for the
remainder of the summer. This
is called aestivation. With the
coming of the fall rain the beet
les become active and commence
laying eggs in about mid Octo
ber. By spring, most of the eggs
have hatched and the larvae are
reaching maturity. The larvae
