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.

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

THIRTY YEARS AGO
From Files of the Gazette Times
. 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. Since
there are a lot of these backruo
bers, there have been many

Dr. George Marugg, veterinarian

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

south Morrow county area with
the exception of Boardman and

to facilitate getting all animals

usual Insecticides used. For
Dairy cows Methoxychlor is the
only insecticide recommended tor

of these insecticides is preferred.
They are diluted for use witn

chlor, DDT, and TDE are usually

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. These results might be of

From where I sit ... ly Joe Marsh
If You Can't
Lick 'em-Join 'em
Just back from visiting with my
daughter's family-and playing
Grandpop to two of the cutest
kids you ever saw. 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:. Looks
and writes like ink, but won't
stain clothes or furniture.
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.
