A Double Socket
Suppose you wanted a double socket to plug
into an electric outlet. 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

now for this annual convention.
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

is the Farmers Tax Guide, a help

provide an excellent opportunity
for leaders to exchange ideas and
pick up hints and helps that will

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.

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."

The basketball team had a
split-ticket victory last Thursday
at Lexington. They won the B
game, but lost the A, 44-31. Bill
Irby led the scoring with 15
points. Top basket man for the
B team was Bob Nichols, who
netted 10 points.
Their next game will be at
Echo Friday afternoon.
The grade school intramural
tournaments are progressing
satisfactorily reports John Sny
der, basketball coach. Driscoll's
team is in the lead of the seventh
and eighth grade league, and
Mr. Snyder seems to think that
Biddies' and Kit George's squads
are the ones to beat in the lower
division.
The two leaders in the checker
tournament are Kenneth Keeling
and Charles Smallwood. Both are
from the seventh grade. No chess
games have been played yet.
Mrs. Blanch Boulden, seventh
grade teacher was reported ill
Monday morning. She had a
slight reaction to a shot she had
taken Saturday. Mrs. W. W.
Weatherford substituted for her.
