McKAY'S VACATION OVER
In a post-vacation public ad
dress, his last before returning
to the National Capitol, Secretary
of the Interior Douglas McKay
told the Portland Chapter of the
Izaak Walton League Wednes
day that public parks, recreation
al advantages and wildlife would
get more attention during the
coming year than in any period
of its existance.
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

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

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

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.

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

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.

short-cut to higher profits from in

and here's why:
Because Brea Aqua is a nitrogen fer
tiuizer in solution form, it does not
have to be "over -injected" to stay in
the ground. As a solution, the fer
tilizer soaks into the root zone and
stays there, providing the plant with
the proper nitrogen requirements. Shal

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

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.
