Some farmers were of the opin ion, up until the exact amount of of discount was announced, that they could still produce enough Rex over other varieties to make up quite a little discount. It doesn't appear as though Rex regardless of how well it has pro duced for many years could with stand the 20c , discount. With wheat supported at 76 of parity for 1956 and the modernized par ity formula being used, the in come from wheat will drop enough without adding a 20c discount to it. Many farmers have been ask ing what varieties to grow to re place Rex. For many years wheat variety plots have been seeded in the Eightmile and North lone communities to compare many different established varieties and promising crosses for yields and other characteristics. This years yields have .not been calcu lated on the plots grown at the Frank Anderson and John Proud foot farms. Results in 1954 showed Elmar in top place in both of these nurseries. Elmar stood top for several years. At lone, Golden was In second place, Brevor in third place, Orfed, Fourth, Rio. fifth, Rex, sixth. In the Eightmile area, Rex was se cond, Brevor third, Golden fourth, Orfed Fifth, Rio sixth. It looks like Elmar will replace a lot of the Rex with Brevor and Orfed being used to replace it where Elmar Is not well suited or unpopular with farmers. getting started after weed in festations early many times they are halted before they spread throughout a farm. The second reason is that this year an ACP payment assists farmers with 50 of the cost of weed control. The secretary of agriculture has announced that this practice will not be continued in 1956. For that reason farmers are smart to take advantage of this practice this year when they can have 50 as sistance in control. A great many of the farmers who have called at the office to discuss their weed control prac tice have indicated that they would like to have the county sprayer do the spraying for them. The sprayer has been quite busy this summer with the most far mer jobs ever yet, undertaken. This is quite alright since con trol of perennial noxious weeds on state and county roads are nearing eradication giving more time for these farm spray jobs. During the past two weeks, Cal Carson, sprayer operator, has had a job or two each day for farm ers. It is not too late for you to make application for weed con trol under the ACP practice and receive payment of approximate ly 50 of the cost. We would be glad to work out a weed con trol program with you. A lot of farmers have taken the suggestion seriously that they get their weed control program under way this year. This is good! It is good for two reasons, The first reason is that the sooner that weed control is started on a farm the sooner noxious weeds can be brought under control. By Morrow county sheepmen, both adult and youth, during the past week have added many good ani mals to their flocks. On August 6, Kenneth Lynn Smouse, lone 411 club member, purchased a regis tered Southdown Stud Ram at the Willamette Valley ram sale at Albany. This ram is being used now to breed Kenny Lynn's flock of six registered Southdowns along with five Southdowns pur chased on August 11 at the Ore gon State College livestock auc 3 3 3fc 3 3fc 3fc 3fc 3fr HOOVER IN OREGON Salem and another Oregon city, Newberg, were focus points for national TV and radio takes last week when ex-president Herbert Hoover saw the sun rise from a Salem hotel window on his 81st birthday. He was greeted in the lobby by Senate President Elmo E. Smith, acting governor and a throng of Salemites who knew him when he resided in Salem in the 1890's. He flew to Oregon to inspect and dedicate a reconstructed Newberg house that was home to the orphaned boy when living with his uncle, Dr Minthorn. At the dedication Hoover said, "During the last score of years our American way of life has been deluged with criticism. It comes from our own people who deplore our faults and genuinely wish to remedy them. "It arises from the refusal of tion sale. These ewes were pur chased by Carol, Janet, and Joe Palmer Lexington and Jerry An derson Heppner. They are to be used for 411 club projects. On August 15, several sheep men purchased top rams at the annual Pendleton Ram Sale. Those who purchased rams while the agent was at the sale were: Bob Van Schoiack, and Paul Webb. Both bought a number of Sufflok rams. - I X Got ti luihhnnd who' gelling grouchy? Take HIM to the MOVIES! As fair time grows near, farb- ers and ranchers should be pre paring their exhibits for the show, Each year we hear farmers say that they wish they had brought exhibits to the fair and that they had something better than that exhibited at home. We are es pecially weak each year on wool, hay, grain, and dairy exhibits. We are extra weak on grain ex liibits taking into consideration that our main source of income here is from wheat. Hay is also an important crop and it is sel dom that we have more than half a dozen exhibits at the fair. This year a special Tillamook Dairy Herd Improvement Associa tion class has been added to the dairy division. While this is not listed in the premium list, it was announced this week. The Mor row County Creamery are putting up some special prizes that will be worth while to anyone. They are not going to be ottered, how ever, unless there is at least 10 head of dairy exhibited. With a great number of Tillamook Dairy heifers that have been Im ported to the county over the past few years, a good bit of com petition could be had in such a class. Heifer calves, yearlings or producing cows will qualify Those farmers who have bought Tillamook dairy heifers over the past few years should consider polishing them up and bringing them to the fair.

And it comes from the fuzzy-minded totalitarian liberals who believe that our creeping collectivism can be adopted without destroy ing the safeguards for free men. . If we look at the criticism alone, we seem to be in a very bad way and engaged in our decline and fall. "Freedom of mind, of spirit and of initiative still lives in Amer ica". COMEDY RELIEF Secretary of the Interior Doug las McKay introduced Herbert Hoover to a sun-defying crowd in Newberg last Wednesday and made the prize bloop of the year.
