Correspondents Correspondents, the people in each community a newspaper serves who gather up the notes about the comings and going of their neighbors and the happenings in their area, are a vital part of the staff of every paper. Withput them It would be next to impossible for small newspapers to cover the news of other towns and areas because most cannot afford to hire enough full time reporters to do the Job done by correspondents. Correspondents usually are women who enjoy gathering and writing news items largely for the pleasure they get from it for none of them will ever get rich on the pay they get from most small papers. They are not expert, trained writers, but most of them do a mighty good Job of reporting the news of their community and the Gazette Times is fortunate that most of its community correspondents are above average. Correspondents, though, are always a source of worry to most newspaper editors for on occasion they have lapses of memory (as do editors every now and then) and get so interested In where Mrs. Jones or Mr. Smith went over the weekend that they overlook a real big story. Probably the prize example of that tendency was the correspondent for a midwestern paper In whose community there was a major fire which wiped out about one fourth of a small town. Down among the local items sent to the paper that week was a note about the fire. It said, "The town fire truck was called out Monday." Many correspondents develop a definite style of writing and have a following among the read ers of a paper just because of the way they say things, in fact they really become columnists in their own right. One such correspondent whose writings we always look for is Ned Norton of Mit chell over in Wheeler county who covers the news of his town for the Fossil Journal and the Central Oregonian at Prineville, in a most unique fashion. He frequently throws in a little editorial comment, philosophizing, or whatever else might come to mind, and his news items are "just plain good reading" whether or not you know a single person in Mitchell. We picked a couple of items out of his last week's news in the Fossil Journal as an example: "Through the courtesy of Mrs. Harry Foster of Twickenham I met Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Cranks, formerly of White Salmon, Wn., who are now on the Mateer place down on the river. Seems that Twickenham along with Powell Butte in Crook county are rapidly becoming the last stronghold of the small independent farmers who have been the strength of these United States of America ever since their ancestors put the 'go' in the red coated troops of King Georgelll away back there at Lexington and Concord. It might be a good thing if some of these politicians would become states men for a while, forget about high clams and low dams and concentrate on doing something about the steady drift of the productive lands of the nation into the hands of a few. Throughout all history such circumstances have sooner or later resulted in serious trouble. In case someone should ask: "At your age what do you care?" the answer is that I intend to plant a garden of Cen tury Plants next week in hope of seeing them bloom eventually." Another choice bit from the same column said: "Mr. Jim Cannon is home again after a couple of weeks stay In the Redmond hospital during which the happy-go-lucky medicos did consider able hemstitching in fancy designs on Jim's hide. This has caused some of his develish relatives to give him an equally fancy nickname that will not be revealed here." Now that's what we call good writing.

From The County Agont's Office By N. C Anderson Wheat fertilizer demonstra-farms than past years In order tions were established this week again for the seventh consecu tive year, here. Plots this year are set up much as in the past with some minor element applications-discontinued. Applications of 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 pounds of nitrogen, applied in the fall, compared with the same appli cation in the spring, are the main applications made. This year's plots were put out on different to determine the effects of dif ferent cropping practices, soil- type, and moisture conditions on yields.

Take HER to the MOVIES! While visiting at the Kenneth Peck farm this week, the agent found Kenneth doing an excel lent job of stubble mulch farm ing. This year's operation was performed somewhat different than in past years. A tool bar with thirty-inch sweeps, which was developed by Mr. Peck, was used for the initial operation This was followed by the weed ers. Kenneth is especially pleas ed with his new center-drive weeders and says that he has not had a bit of trouble with the trash in throwing off drive chains, as was the case with end driven weeders. The weeders equipped with hydraulic lifts, enables him to get over seeded waterways and to usually get rid of accumulated trash if such oc curs. This operation is one that won Kenneth the title of "Con servation Man of the Year" in 1953. Programs for the annual Ore gon weed Conference, which will be held in the Sentor hotel in Salem, November 9 and 10, were received in the office this week. From the looks of the program, this fourth annual conference should be of interest to a lot of our farm people. On the first day, such things as why herbi cides effect plants differently, re ports on new research in soil sterilization and the control of perennial weeds and brush, weed control in forage and seed crops, vegetables and fruits, along with a panel on weed districts and how they are administered will make up the discussions of the day. On November 10, discussion will be held on sage and rabbit brush control, weed control in cereal crops, weed control on state highways, legislative actl- STAR THEATER, Heppner Admission Prices: Adults 70c, Students 50c, Children 20c Including Federal Tax.
