The National Park Service is working under an agenda of long-range planning. In 1953 the department added 65,000 acres to the parks system and last year 40,000 were acquired. McKay had been vacationing the past month at Salem and Neskowin before enplaning for Washington, D. C. WAYNE MORSE BUSY With a big traveling circus just across the street as a coun ter attraction United States sena tor Wayne Morse drew a crowd that filled every seat In Port land's Jantzen Beach Park Sun day afternoon. The line that brought standing cheers was, "Eisenhower has per formed economic voodo in drop Dins the farmer's income and raising the cost of living." From The County Agent's Office By N. C. Andanoa Word comes from N. L. Ben nion, poultry specialist at Ore gon State College, that at this season of the year small and med ium eggs are a bargain in com parison with large or extra large grades of those buying eggs. For example today's quotation on the Portland market that was Aug 18, price to retailers Is 54c per dozen for grade A large and only 34c per dozen for grade A smalls. In making comparisons it is found that if grade A large eggs are priced at 54c, small eggs are worth 41c per dozen. This means that small eggs are the best buy by 7c per dozen. It was found that this same situation occurs every year during the summer and early fall months due to the fact that old hens are going out of production and as the pullets come in they produce a large volume of small and med ium eggs. This office has a supply of egg buyers' guide which can be be used for calculating the best buys of eggs during the entire year. The little hand guide compares prices by each grade. On Wednesday of last week the agent was present at Ingleheart Brothers mill in Pendleton to see tho mlllinir test of the Red Chaff i wheat designated as T-80 which lor ls now employed on the staff has been proauceo. Dy ueurel0f Jude Donald E. Long, Mult He said, "The contracting power of the Secretary of the Interior is a final power unto it self,, unaccountable to the peo ple or the congress." His speaking dates include an address in Los Angeles Labor Day, September 1 In Portland, and September 20 In Eugene. MARRIAGE COUNCIUNG Proposals have been made at several recent sessions of the Oregon Legislature that a mar riage counciling service be creat ed for people who have marriage problems but are not ready to go to court. The proposals never get far ther than the talking stage. The need for these services are apparent almost daily in every county seat in the state. Judges hesitate to council them because they may eventually come before them In divorce actions. Many people hesitate to take their problems to a minister or a doctor of their community but would aval themselves or an unrelated councelling service. Several state jurists are-giving time to remodeling an act to present to the next session of the Legislature that would not only help save marriages for adults but would help in. broken homes where more than half of juvl nile troubles originate A-full-time marriage council tm Mumm of Umatilla county. This milling test was run on this wheat to determine whether its quality was satisfactory for further in crease. Arrangements are also being made for a milling test which will be run in the very near future at Ingleheart Broth ers on a 1200 bushel sample of the new unnamed variety which is being increased by Frances Wade of -Elgin. Denward Ber gevin, lone has a considerable amount of this seed produced in 1955. Definite continuel produc tion of the variety will be deter mined through this milling test for at least whether or not it can be recommended by colleges, millers, and others interested in the production of varieties suit able for milling. nomah County domestic relations judge.

I II 7 i J l v 'nftr ft' It r m y if g C. W. Harder Quite a paradox exists. While official pace on adoption of tbe Hoover Commission rec ommendations to take govern ment out of business proceeds at a snail's pace, there Is lots of hurry up activity in Importuning Congress W knock out falrt trade laws as recommended by Attorney General's Na tional Comml tee to study the Anti-Trust Laws. This re port was only released at end of March this year, while many Hoover rec ommendations were made many months ago. Senator H. H. Humphrey, Minn., expresses wonderment. He says "Independent free en terprise must organize and mo bilize its manpower and re sources to fight against this fundamental change in national wholesale and retail trade policy. If the recommendations of the Attorney General's Committee are put Into effect, the standards of fair competition, which have become accepted public policy, will be uprooted, changed and weakened to a point where our Independent retailers will be at the mercy of predatory, unfair price competition." It is interesting to note big drive to repeal Fair Trade laws is based on two slogans. One is to get government out of busi ness; the other is to reduce prices to consumers. Unlike Hoover Committee rec ommendations which would naturally get government out of business, Fair Trade Laws in volve the government In busi ness no more than to extent of insuring fair play in market (8) Ntlinrnl Pgd-fitlon of Inrtcpfndent Bmlnew place. As for consumers, Fair Trade Laws have never estab lished prices on commodities, just on certain brands. For example, if consumer wants to buy an electric toaster, she can find many brands, with a wide variance in price range. Yet brand she may prefer is sold at one price. If that brand does not offer to her value to justify its price, obviously she doesn't have to buy that brand. Thus, unless there Is some pro tection against price cutting on those brands, end result will be every manufacturer will com pete on price basis. Thii; will re sult, as in Russia, in only shoddy goods being offered for sale. It ls also significant that same housewife cannot shop around for gasoline. She finds same prices all over, yet gasoline is not fair traded. Neither is steel, cement, and many other com modities. This, too, is similar to Russia, where state sets com modity prices. In U. S., state does not set commodity prices, but government has been lax in preventing their price fixing. Thus the great inconsistency of the times. Official hearts bleed because certain brands in a com modity group aro Fair Traded. Yet nothing is said by these grat bleeding heart officials over the fact that on many com modities consumer must pay the same price, regardless of brand. Thus, leaving commodity price rigging alone, and repealing Fair Trade laws to drive down quality of consumer goods, would give U. S. same system as Russia. That is why some remark face tiously that Attorney General should place on Attorney Gen eral's list of Subversive Organi zations the Attorney General's National Committee to Study the Antl Trust Laws. the recommended expenditures! when one of these discharged early in September. i persons resented being called FREIGHT CARS ADDED I "crazy" and stoutly affirmed, "I FREIGHT CARS ACULO j gnd J can fi jt Public Utilities Commissioner That,g mQre thm Cm do, Charles Heltzel applied the quota diacharge T nave system for freight cars to thefrom the state hospital which Oregon Electric Ra.lway Wednes- day. A similar emergency owij recognized a freight car snonage nn the Southern Pacific two months ago. Girls was recommended Friday at a special meeting of trie state emergency board at the Capitol. In addition $5,000 was recom mended for installation of elec trically controlled locks and $10, 549 for employment of two addi tional house parents. The proposed work will in clude reinforcement of the walls and ceilings, psychiatric screens, overhead heating and ventilat ing system and a cyclone fence. For the past three months the girls have been kicking holes in the walls with their bare feet and escaping. Most of the recent damage was done when 11 of the inmates staged a riot and escaped. The board of control is expect ed to award a contract covering The peak of moving the har vest crop will soon be under way and Increasing lumber shipments at this time has been a severe call on railways. The Southern Pacific, however, filled 87 per cent of its orders last week and this week ordered 2,725 new freight cars. This was the second large order within seven weeks and the total to this time will cost more than $23 million. CURED MENTAL PATIENTS People in personnel work should feel free to employ job applicants who have been treat ed at and discharged from the state hospitals formerly known as insane asylums. Dr. W. G. Burrows, Oregon State Hospital psychiatrist, told a group of members of the Pacific Northwest Personal Management Association in Salem this week that job applicants with histories of mental illness can make com petent employees. This reminds us of the time WHAT ABOUT BIG TROUT? What will happen to a freak hot spot for flying fishermen at Tenmile Lake where big trout surface for a hatch of giant Yel low May flies at twilight? The Weyerhauser Timber Co. has applied to the State Engineer for a permit to dam the 'Coos County lake to get water for a proposed pulp mill. The company proposes to use 80 second feet of water, and says it wouldn't raise the level of the lake beyond its normal winter depth. Any fly fisherman who ever hit this spot when a hatch was on will tell you it is the one of its kind, for a-fish-with-every-cast. EQUAL PAY LAW The "equal pay for'equal work" law enacted by the 1955 Legisla ture has been delegated to the state labor commissioner, under a recent opinion by Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton. The mandate of this law, ac cording to Thornton, makes it in cumbent upon the commissioner of labor to enforce the new Continued on Page 5 DON'T MISS OUR BOOTH At the Fair!

As a solution, the fer tilizer soaks into the root zone and stays there, providing the plant with the proper nitrogen requirements. Shal low aria application aiso renus hmcli to a faster, more uniform application without soil and seed-bed disturbance. This means that a rig can cover a field faster with less ground resistance on the equipment. Add the features of "soak-in" nitrogen together with "ease of application" and they'll total "pro lit" everv time! OUR DRILL APPLICATION RIGS are doing a nice job for customers these days, and naturally, we are well equip ped and ready to handle more custo mer acreage. Things are happening so fast in the fertilizer business that I know we can save you money and do a better job if you will let us bid on your nitrogen needs. GROWER-OWNED EQUIPMENT We have noticed that many local growers are considering the advantages of owning their own application equip ment. Again, Brea Aqua's ease-to-handling soon pays for the cost of the changeover. With high-speed transfer pumps to refill applicator tanks in a few minutes and one man to handle the application, the rig pays for itself over a short period of time. Many Brea growers handle equipment modifica tion in their own shops. Shown in the above pictures, is a new Spring Tooth Modification that does the extra job that puts growth into your top-soil. Note in the closeup of the Spring Tooth that is hes been modified to allow a How pipe to feed the Brea Aqua into the soil during the regular spring toothing operation.
