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,

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."

School Zones Mean
"Slow Zones"
With schools throughout the
state back in full operation, state
safety officials repeated one of
the season's most important traf
fic warnings this week: slow
down in school zones.
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

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.
