The Good Old Days
History is always interesting and sometimes
it makes sad reading.
Take for instance, the history of the individual
income tax. 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

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

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.

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.

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
