Single Copy 10 cent.. Think... And Live! Your chance of being one of the numerous traf fic victims this next weekend will be considerably greater than on a regular weekend period. Just the plain fact that the July 4th holiday means an extra day's vacation which will put thousands more people on the go and cars on the road should be enough to warn most motorists that they will have to be even more cautious than usual if they hope to get home Monday alive and unhurt. But, regardless of all the good advice, there will be many who won't make it. We hope none of our readers turn up on the casualty list for we like all of you and want to keep every one. Speed and carelessness are usually classified as the greatest killers in traffic but there are times when an over-cautious driver can cause as much trouble as a too-fast one. As an example of what we mean, we had the misfortune to get behind just such a driver recently while driving up on highway 30. The Sunday afternoon traffic was heavy and this very careful driver was leading a string of 30 to 40 cars and trucks at 25 to 3o miles an hour along a highway built for 60 mile speed' or more. Naturally there were many attempts to pass when the opportunity was available, and some even when it wasn't, though we didn't see any accident, luckily. Finally, to the relief of every driver close enough to see what was going on, a state patrolman who happened to get caught in the lineup sirened the "super-careful", driver to the side of the road and let traffic return to its normal speed. It was the first time we have seen such an occurance happen, but on many of Ore gon's fast roads it should happen more often. All we mean to point out is that a slow driver on a fast highway can cause as many traffic difficulties as a fast one. Use your head this week end, and all other times, drive carefully but drive at a speed that can well be governed by the road itself and the traffic conditions. Driving too slow can be as hazardous as driving too fast. To sum up, we're going to repeat again our an nual pre-July 4th saying "Come back alive on July five!" Woo! Woo! If he puts it over, even we will give Dick Neu berger a pat on the back! He just introduced a bill in the senate to allow weekly newspapers to miss two publications a year without losing their postal mailing permit. In other words, a weekly publisher could take a little vacation occasionally like most normal humans get to without Uncle Sam's post officfe saying uh, Ul' On second thought, we wonder if Dick's just trying to woo some of us Republican weekly pub lishers. If so, woo ahead, boy. We're with you on this one. From The County Agent's Office By N. C AnOtnom After several years of constant promotion of the Oregon Wheat Growers League this past week a new processed wheat product "Ala" will be found on the shel ves of grocery stores. The new product differs from Tilaff or Boulghur Wheat in that it is precooked through a new process and takes only 12 to 15 minutes cooking time. The Oregon Wheat Growers League is distributing recipes for this new project and thase who have tried it agree that it has real opportunities for increasing consumption of Ore gon wheat in this form. Many Morrow county farmers these days are carrying out a weed control program on peren ial noxious weeds. Some are do- while county lng there own spraying others are having the weed sprayer do custom work for them. Regardless of how the control program is carried out, 1955 is a eood year to do your weed control work. This year the ACP program of fers weed control cost sharing payment that assists consider ably with the expense oi control.

July 2, 1925 The work of organizing a grange in the south end of the county was begun on Monday evening June 29 when people oi the vicinitv of the Rhea Creek schoolhouse at Ruggs came to gether for that purpose. Miss Odile Groshens and her sister, Miss May, and Paul His- must be obtained in order to re ceive payment. A recent an nouncement serves notice that weed control as a county conser vation nractice cannot be ap- nrnved for 1956 as the secretary of agriculture has concluded that wpd control measures are a parx of normal crop productions and that ACP funds snouia not De used for this purpose. This would mean that farmers who have nerenial weeds to control should make every effort to get thpir nroErram under way tnis year and take advantage of the help and funds while tney are available. Recommended con trol programs for the various perenial noxious weeds are out lined in the Dractice which is being mailed as a supplement to the handbook for all , Morrow county farmers this week. herds and those with their cattle handy to the farm corral during the spring and summer months have them tested at that time rather than waiting until fall and winter months when the big de mand comes from range opera tors. Range operators find it almost Impossible to test other than during the fall and winter when cattle are not in their head quarters where testing facilities are available. Dr. Norene has been doing a considerable am ount of testing during the past two months of farm herds in his slack season. If farmers will con tinue to co-operate and have Dr. Norene do this testing, the pro gram will go along satisfactorily. If you have not had your herd tested within the past year ana they can be tested at this time, Dr. Norene would appreciate having you contact him for an nnnnintment. The bureau of animal industry is continuing to pay for this brucellosis test. In a recent news column we made mention of self-treating de vices for horn fly control.

Morrow county brucellosis test ing program is continuing with herds to be tested periodically until thp countv is declared clean. Dr. George Marugg, veterinarian of the bureau of animal indus try, has been traisferred from Morrow county and all testing work is now being done by Dr. Norene, practicing veterinarian. It is hoped that arrangements can be made for testing in the Board-man-Irrigon area from Hermiston, but no official agreement has yet been completed. With Dr. Nor ene being the only tester for the south Morrow county area with the exception of Boardman and Irrigon, this will mean the test ing will need to be carried out during the entire year in order to facilitate getting all animals tested.

For Dairy cows Methoxychlor is the only insecticide recommended tor hackrubbers. The emulsion form of these insecticides is preferred. They are diluted for use witn fuel oil or diesel oil not crank case or lubricating oil. Methoxy chlor, DDT, and TDE are usually distributed as 25 emulsifiable concentrate which contains two pounds of active ingredient per gallon. To make a 5 solution of Methoxychlor, DDT, or TDE, mix one quart of the 25 concen trate of these materials to iour quarts of the fuel or diesel oil. Toxanhene is also used at a 5 strength, but because several concentrations are on the market, these must be diluted propor tionately.

' Some interesting work on weight for ace selection of beef cows have been completed at the New Mexico A & M College. Eight vear results at the college show that in weight per age selections large Hereford beef cows, long legs and body, hold the edge over comDact cows of the same breed They say that the study indicates I that large cows stay in the nera almost a year longer than the compact type. In calving per centage, the larger cows bested the others by 10 with a 96.5 per cent calving record. The margin rnntimips at weaning time with 93.8 percent calves weaned from large cows compared with only 81.6 percent for the smaller com pact animals. On a herd life time average the large cows pro duce lMs more calves. On an average for the entire breeding herd, the weight of calves from large cows average 100 pounds heavier than the calves from com pact cows. When the calving figures are interpreted on the basis of average calf weight for each 1000 pounds of cow in the herd, the advantage for th? large cows is still 47 pounds more calf output per animal. Calves from larger cows show the highest average daily gain too. During the course of the experiment more than 30 lots of steers were marketed. It was a tossup be tween compact and large cows as far as carcass grade of their cal ves is concerned. They found in the test that big cows eat more but only in direct proportions to the difference in body weights between large and compact cat tle.

Whije thsrt I picked up a couple of new ideas on child raising: If your child's learning to use a pen, provide an old fountain pen -filled with bluing:.

Maybe you have a boy, like my grandson, who thinks he's too old for a bib -but isn't A big cowboy bandana works just as well, and looks he-man to boot From where I sit, getting along with children is like getting along with grownups-it requires an effort to see things from the other person's point of view. At any age, there's no accounting for tastes. Take my neighbor who keeps a parakeet and drinks hot coffee in the summertime. That seems strange to me ... a man who's partial to hound dogs and a cooling glass of beer. But I'd be "childish" to say it was wrong.
