Obviously, dou'd find one without the slightest trouble, and for very little money. It is a stock item not only in hardware and electric stores, but in many variety, grocery and other retail outlets. All stores are competing for your business whether the Item be a small one, like the socket, or an appliance costing many hundreds of dollars. Things are different indeed where there is no competition and the state is the sole Judge of what shall be sold and what the price shall be. Marguerite Higgins, the distinguished foreign correspondent, tells of her search for a double socket during a recent visit to Moscow. The hotel From Th County Agent's Office By N.

John Landers, Animal Hus bandry Specialist, Oregon State College, recently announced that sheep shearing schools would be conducted again this spring. The schools will be two-day sessions and will be held in Corvallis, Ontario, and Milton-Freewater. These .sheep shearing schools have been very popular over the past two years and is an excel lent opportunity for young men to get some training to do sheep shearing of their own flock. There is also an opportunity to do shearing for many farm flocks that have been established over the past few years and which are somewhat difficult to find shear ers for. Enrolled last year in the sheep shearing course from Mor row County, was Eddie Brosnan, Jack Monable, Ronald Currln, and Lee Palmer. Recently a survey made of the students participat ing in the schools during 1954 and 1955, found that those shear ing sheep averaged 105 sheep per student. One of the students had sheared between two and three that Is given at these schools has thousand sheep.

This conference will provide an excellent opportunity for leaders to exchange ideas and pick up hints and helps that will assist them with leadership prob lems during the year. Ji recent letter from Crown Mills at Portland indicated that analysis of various samples of Durum which were raised in east ern Oregon and eastern Wash ington, show that they have com mercial value for making Durum macaroni products. While a number of them carried a higher chalky kernel content than is de sirable for good quality, the samples proved that Durum can be raised in these areas. It ap pears now as though all that Is necessary would be to find some concern who would be interested in a Pacific Coast macaroni trade. Several things were learned last year with a dry spring and little irrigation water evident at first, that do us a lot of good in planning this year,s operations E. R. Jackman, Range Crop Spe cialist, Oregon State College, points, out several facts that might bo beneficial here. 1. Ni trogen is often the cheapest way to get plenty of hay. 2. Sage brush can be killed fairly cheap ly. Grant County workers sprayed several thousand acres and the increased forage Is far cheaper than interest and taxes on more land. It is now cheaper to de velop ones own range than to try to buy more. 3. Don't let water run away to the ocean in March would like to enroll can get an has been excellent.

But that is an excellent symbol of a differ ence between a free, competetive economy, such as we enjoy and a controlled, state-bossed econ omy under which the Russian and many other peoples live. .Next time you enter an American retail store, with its abundance of stocks, its ex cellent displays and services, and its competitive prices, you might offer a little prayer of thanks not only for the material abundance our system provides but for all the other freedoms that are inextricably related to economic freedom. when it will be badly needed in July. Spread it out or dam it back. 4. Alfalfa yields more pounds of better feed than grain or grass wherever it will grow at all. 5. High priced hay Is just as bad as low priced stock if you have to buy it. 6. Don't in crease stock until there is plenty of grass and hay to support them. A successful annual meeting of the Morrow County Livestock Growers Association was held last Friday and Saturday. While the attendance was not as great as last year, interest by those pre sent seemed to be high. Many comments were heard of the mar keting panel when ideas and ex periences of livestock operators from Wallowa, Umatilla and Mor row counties discussed problems and programs for better market ing procedures. The discussion on feeds and feeding, Insect con trol, diseases and worm control in cattle provided much informa tion which all livestock operators in Morrow county can use. Two newer diseases, Leptospirosis and Mucosal, which have been found in Morrow county pose a threat to the cattle industry. Committee reports on Saturday indicated that members of the six standing committees were busy through out the year. Approximately 150 persons interested in Morrow county's livestock industry, in cluding visitors from Grant, Gil liam, and Umatilla counties at tended the Saturday evening banquet. The big feature of the banquet program was that of the presenting of the certificate to Morrow County as a 1 modified, certified Brucellosis-free area. It is something that every Morrow county livestockman has been working for for the last five years. Congratulations were ex tended to Morrow county for be ing the first range county in Oregon to earn this distinction. Livestock men will be interest ed in a telegram received from Larry Williams, Grant county cattleman who is chairman oi the Oregon Brucellosis Eradica-i tion committee. The telegram reads "Congratulations on re ceiving your modified Brucellosis free recognition. I had hoped to get back from the American Na tional Cattleman's Meeting in New Orleans in time to be with you. It was interesting to note that the American National set 1960 as the goal when they an ticipated United States could be Brucellosis free. Also that even Texas is working towards com plete control. I trust the rest of eastern Oregon will soon follow your leadership."
