In 1929, the tax on a $2,000 income was $2 an dfor a married person with two child ren and a $10,000 income it was a mere $40. We hardly need to remind you that now tfie tax begins at 20 percent on the lowest taxable income levels. From there it goes swiftly up, reaching 91 percent at the top. Its hardJy any wonder that people still talk, wistfuJJy and nostalgically, of the good old days. The only thing good we can say for this little item is that it is timely, what with a certain dead line only three days off as if we all didn't know! What's Happened in Education? Some time ago, 1.500 high school students in a typical industrial community were polled as to their views on certain economic questions. The result, according to Ralph T. Moore, writ ing in the Oregon Voter, was as follows: "A ma jority of those polled favored the totalitarian sys tem of price controls over free enterprise wherein the consumer controls prices through exercise of his preference franchise. Most believed that owners of a business get too much compared with employees. A large majority subscribed to the Communist axiom that from each should be taken in accordance with his ability and to each should be given in accord with his needs, the latter of course being only vaguely defined. And the ma jority also subscribed to the Communist manifes to that no worker should produce all he can. The replies more resembled those to be expected from a Russian youth organization than from American high school youngsters." About the best single word that can be ap plied to this symposium is "shocking." It is evi dent that if such views are at all representative of youthful thinking, something has gone terribly wrong with our educational system. That means education in the schools, where the truth Is sup posed to be taught. It also means the education that children should absorb in the home. And it points to failures on the part of business and other groups which have the duty of speaking for free enterprise. The young people of today will, tomorrow, de termine what kind of country this is to be. That is a sobering thought, in the light of this poll. From The County Agent's Office By N. C Anderson During the past week or two those trees which they have a there has been some call for poison grain to use in poisoning gophers nd mice. We now have a fresh supply at the office to meet your needs. Last week, while on a business trip to the college, I visited at the State Board of Forestry Nur sery which is located about seven miles from the college. The visit was an interesting one, as opera tions at the nursery were in full swing. The nursery was sorting counting and bundling for ship ment, tree seedlings which are made available to farm people and others throughout the state lor windbreak, shelterbelt, and Christmas tree plantings. Ap proximately 175 thousand trees are bundled for shipment daily. While visiting with the superin tendent, I found much concern as to the small demand for seed lings this year by farm people. The superintendent felt that if there was not more demand, the board of forestry might discon tinue a number of species grown at the nursery. While the deadline for order ing these seedlings was March 31, the nursery has extended the supply of. They were especially concerned with a nice lot of Chi nese Arborvitae which they had in excess of 10,000. These Chi nese Arborvitae are nice trees, averaging about ten inches in height as three year old seed lings. They have a good supply of Austrian pine, lodgepole pine, Caragana and block locust. I have several hundred lodge pole pine, Austrian pine, silver maque, green ash, and Caragana which are available for cost. Ap plication blanks for ordering the tree seedlings are available from this office. Quite a little interest is being shown by wheat farmers this spring in chemical summer fal low with the chemical Dalapon. Several hundred acres will be treated by farmers throughout the county this spring. The chemical offers the possibility of controlling grasses and voluntary grain and in combination with 2,4-D all broadleaf plants without tillage. At the present price of materials, is appears that the job can be done for approximately six dollars per acre. If the prac tillage operations can be saved, as well as providing excellent ground cover for the control of soil erosion.. Since this practice does look promising, arrangements have been made in Morrow county to determine the moisture and nit rogen content in the chemically made summer fallow, compared to regular tillage practices. Jack Ross, farm crop specialist from the college will spend the 17th here assisting the setting up of the details. Dan Blewitt, Alpine community farmer is the first to our knowledge, using Dalapon for chemical summer fallow. Last Sunday Blewitt applied Dalapon to approximately fifty acres, making comparisons of three and five pounds of the material with three and five gallons of water. One pint of 2,4-D was added for tice proves feasible, moisture, date and will accept orders for which is normally lost through Family Fun Night Saturday, April 14-8 to 12 P. M.

THIRTY YEARS AGO From Files of the Gazette Times April 15, 1926 Word received from friends at Pendleton announces the visit here on Next Thursday of Fred- .rick Steiwer, republican candi date for United States senator. Mrs. Maude Pointer returned to Salem last week. She was ac companied by her father, T. W. Cutsforth who expects that a change will benefit his health. Milt R. Morgan, extensive far mer of lone,. was doing business in this city on Tuesday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Hynd of Cecil were visitors in Heppner on Tuesday. They were accom panied by their daughter, Mrs. E. R. Schaffer of Freezeout. John Kilkenny, for long years extensively engaged in the sheep industry in Morrow county, is of the opinion that this present sea son is the finest for th e flock masters that they have ever had. One of the most enthusiastic crowds at a baseball game in Heppner this season was that which witnessed the Mason-K of P clash Monday evening.

A 'number of farmers who have been waiting the outcome of farm legislation especially per taining to the soil bank, this past week gave up hopes and got under way with grass legume seedings on dry land. The de monstration seeding using Pube scent wheatgrass and Nomad 'al falfa at the Ralph Beamer ranch which we discussed in this col umn a couple of weeks was com pleted this week. The seeding consisted of 130 acres made in stubble with no seedbed prepara tion, using an "LZ" John Deere deep furrow drill with six inch shovels. Burlingham and Sons, who de veloped Nomad alfalfa, this week mailed invitations to a number of Morrow county farmers who are interested in this alfalfa. The invitations were to a special Nomad alfalfa field clay which will be held at their farm near Echo. The date for the field tour Is Thursday, vMay 3. Those who have not received an invitation and who might be interested are invited to attend. The farm is located twelve miles up the Uma tilla river from Echo on the old Pendleton river road. The field day gets under way at 10:30 a. m.

Downs, Jr., rated a na tional authority on economics and real estate trends stated at the spring panel of the Willa mette Valley Real Estate Licen sees at the Marion Hotel, Salem, Saturday. "Over a million homes will be Annual Kite Warning Given By PP&L It's spring (?), it's kite-flying time, and it's time for parents to remind youngsters to be care ful with kites around power lines, says J. R. Huffman, local mana ger for Pacific Power & Light company. He stresses these safety rules: 1. Always fly kites in an open field or playground, well away from power lines. 2. Use only dry cord for kite line. 3. Never use wet string or metal threads for kite line. These are conductors of electricity and can bring about a serious shock from accidental contact with overhead wires. 4. If a kite should lodge in a power line, or in a tree near power wires, leave it there. Don't try to take it down. Skilled power linemen never take chances with live wires neither should you. ing will have the opportunity to see ten year old Nomad fields irrigated and not irrigated; new crowns and tops on roots; Nomad that has been pastured four and six years; Nomad on dry land established without irrigation; Nomad and Crested wheatgrass in new range seeding on unpre pared seedbeds; Alfalfa variety grazing trials seeding in 1951 and 53; Nomad nursery vegeta tively reproduced plants from discovery field and chemical spray control of weeds and grass in seed fields.

For those who have not visited this farm, it is well worth while. built in the U. S. this year de spite a tightening of money," Downs said. He based his predictions for continued building on the fact that the average American is de manding more in his home, and the change of style. "There is not a ranch within a thousand miles of Crook County, 111., he said, "but almost all the houses built in this county last year were ranch houses." "We have experienced a com plete change of heart in matters of money. Where time-payment used to be a shameful word we are now a nation of debtors," he said. "This is the only country where a man rides around in his debt all day, turns on his debt to entertain him in the evening and when he is tired goes to sleep in his debt at night," he quipped. "When the farm bail out comes, business will take a ter iffic up turn," he concluded. LIQUOR PROFITS HIGH The second largest quarterly distribution of profits in the his tory of the Oregon Liquor Control Commission will be allocated to cities, counties and the general fund of the state this month. Of the total of $5,275,766 the gene ral fund will receive $4,805,000, cities and counties . $470,766, Bruce Williams, new chairman of the commission reported, Wed nesday. For several years distrbiutions have averaged around one mil lion dollars monthly. The large distribution for the first quarter of this year was made possible through release of profits previ ously withheld for working capi tal. STATE IN STAMP BUSINESS The economics professor will tell you not to waste valuable hours over a postage stamp col lection as you will learn little and it does not pay. However, the state of Oregon is in the stamp business and it may pay out. The 1941 legislature passed a cigarette tax of 2 cents a pack age. Stamps for 11,000,000 pack ages were printed that cost the state $3500. They were never, used as the tax law was killed in a referendum the next year by a vote of 127,366 to 110,643. The commission - has been keeping them, in case the state should adopt a cigarette tax that required a 2-cent tax stamp. This week most of the eleven million stamps were burned. A few thousand were kept to be sold to collectors at 50s a block if four. That's a lot better than the big stamp dealers are doing. They will sell a block of any 2 Continued on Page 6 Feather Your Nest If WITH 4$ EXTRA PROFITS FEED YOUR LAYERS LARR0 SURElAY A well-led hen . . . cne that's getting all the body and egg nutrients she needs . . .
