Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, September 22, 1955 25 Oregon Growers To Increase Stocks Of New Omar Wheat Twenty-five eastern Oregon wheat growers selected to in crease seed stocks this year of Omar wheat a new highly smut resistent red chaff club wheat designed to replace Elmar met September 13 at Pendleton to draw final plans with the Ore gon seed allocation committee. The meeting being called by Vic tor Johnson, Umatilla county ex tension agent. Committee chairman D. D. Hill, Oregon state college farm crops department head, says the 25 growers will receive a total of 400 bushels of registered seed for in crease on about 700 acres In Umatilla, Baker, Union, Sherman, and Gilliam counties. Growers were selected for their facilities to maintain genetic purity of the new variety and to make rapid increase of stocks on high-yielding land. The com mittee will retain control of 80 percent of the production for fur ther distribution next year. Hill said the distribution policy operates on the principle that new varieties developed at pub lic expense should not be mono polized and should be allocated to give most rapid increase of seed stock for the inductry. Allocation of seed supplies in Oregon next year will be in pro portion to counties current pro duction of club wheat varieties, The committee's 1956 goal is 20, 000 bushels of Omar enough to seed 30,000 to 40,000 acres. Omar outylelded Elmar In all the more humid areas of the Pacific Northwest in extensive tests by experiment stations of OSC, Washington State college and University of Idaho. It has excellent milling and baking qualities and is superior to Elmar as a soft pastry wheat. The new wheat was developed from an Elgin 19-Elmar cross by Orville Vogel, USDA plant breed er stationed at WSC. Plant pa thologists report the new variety as the most highly resistant wheat to all known races of smut in their experience. Smut re sistance tests were directed by C. S. Holton, USDA plant patholo gist also stationed at WSC, Monument News Continued from Page 2 Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Smith and children of Spokane were visiting at Vandetta's.

IRELAND, Innkeeptr Visit ninny, scrale Santa Ciena Valley DE AtlZA Page 3 8fiaaaG mm Abraham Lincoln is reputed to have said "You can fool part of the people all the time, all the people part of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time." It is not by accident that Con gressional Committees are now closely study- lng the activi ties of the en forcement ol the nation's anti-trust laws. Nor is it per il a p just chance that Edward How rey, whose ap pointment to that oflice was c. W. Harder opposed by the National Federa tion of Independent Business has resigned as chairman of the Federal Trade Commission. In fact, it might even be established with some degree of probability that Attorney Gener al Herbert Brownell performed a great service for independent business in this nation when he appointed the Attorney General's Committee to Study the Anti Trust Laws. The majority recommenda tions of this august body were so heavily in favor of weaken ing, or eliminating the protec tion given by the nation's anti trust laws that so much smoke was raised many Congressmen decided to look for the fire. By and large, Congressmen have a common peculiarity. They hate to be spoofed. In ad dition, they are Americans ad hering to the American tradi tions which include from Missis sippi river boat days to the gold rush days of the West the looking with askance on stacked decks. It was therefore quite natural that one of the first (hints the Senate Small Business -Commit tee tock up lv'ien making a study of the Attorney General's special committee on anti-trust laws was to find out just who was on com mittee that so wholeheartedly impugned anti-trust laws. It is important to remember it was a 61 member committee. Here is the breakdowa. Of the 61 members 33, or a clear majority, were corporation attorneys who together have fought the government in the past few years in a total of 228 anti-trust actions. Some of the biggest domestic and interna tional firms were their clients in these cases. Four other mem bers were college professors who have appeared as "expert" wit nesses for corporations involved In anti-trust proceedings. This line-up, to say the least, rather provoked Congressional curiosity, especially as findings of this group were quite critical of anti-trust laws. In fact, Congressional attitude might be compared to that which would exist among racing judges If hotly contested rare be tween twelve horses finished in a dead heat. While those racing judges might not come right out and say that there was tomfool ery In the stables before the race, they would be mighty curious, and would do some looking around. And that probably best ex plains why at present time Con gressional committees are look ing into anti-trust matters so deeply. Right now, Congressmen are not talking about any tomfool ery, but things are coming to light which are making them curia ser and curlouser. In time, it could develop that the corpora tion lawyers who composed ma 'irity "f this committee made the mistake of forgetting the A'ician admonishment that runs "i'eople who live in glass houses should not thro-.v stones."

Oregon's designated speed for school zones is 20 miles an hour, Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry reminded, but sometimes speeds lower than that are necessary. The 20-miles-an hour restriction applies when children are going - Sermon, 11 a. m. Prayer Meeting Wednesday, at 7:30 p. m. Bible Studies. to and from school and during recess periods. However; Newbry said even this speed may be too high if youngsters are crowding the crosswalks and school grounds. Drivers were cautioned to be especially alert during the early weeks of the school term for first graders who may be uncer tain or frightened by traffic. Others can be exected to run into the streets without looking or suddenly appear from behind parked cars or other obstructions. More than 360 Oregon schools are now operating student-manned school patrols at street cross ings, an activity which has proved quite effective in reduc ing the hazards to children, the secretary said.
