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.

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. The plots are located at
the Kenneth Peck farm in Clark's
Canyon, at the H. & H. Evan's
farm south Ifeppner, Charles Bee
ket farm, operated by Lawrence
Becker, Eightmile, John Eu
bank's farm, west lone, and at
the Alex Lindsay and Harold
Beach farm, north Lexington.

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-

DEMETRIUS AND THE GLADIATORS
Here are some of the outstanding assets of this excellent film: It is a sequel to
the first CinemaScope film "The Robe" and technically superior. Victor Mature
continues as Demetrius, as do Jay Robinson as Caligula and Michael Rennie as
Peter. The same producer and writer on the Lloyd C. Douglas novel have retained
the lavish mountings and unity in this attraction. The arena, the palace, Roman
streets and costumes are striking in technicolor. Added to the cast in important
roles are Susan Hayward as Messalina, Dehra Paget, Barry Jones, William Marshall
and it was this picture that focused attention on popular Richard Egan and Ernest
Borgnine.
