But You Only Come Out Once A Week! It has born said the average fellow can pose as an expert in three fields: 1 as a football coach for his home town team. 2 As an 'expert in rais ing the other fellow's kids. 3 As an expert in publishing any newspaper. Despite the fact that weekly newspapers and maga'zines have been published practically since the invention of print ing. you can hear all sorts of derogatory remarks against the effectiveness of the weekly publica tions as mediums of communications as well as mediums of advertising. As for instance, we have heard the Gazette Times Is no good as an advertising medium be cause we come out only once per week. Knowing the place of the weekly newspaper in the commun ication field, the fact that a newspaper is limited to a once a week publication is about as silly an argument as we have ever heard. There is noth ing as old as yesterday's daily, but a weekly pub lication remains in the average home until the next issue is out. Even in the daily field, most advertisers insert only one or two ads per week and in the non-daily field the average advertiser do?s well to make the deadline once per week. Most businesses are geared to the economics of the community, they serve, they have to be to exist. Business failures are due in a large measure to the fact that economics of the community is ignored. Odd Ends Well, now that the election Is over for a few months, the political analysts can get to work and tell us what all the wins and losses mean. But, regardless of what they may come up with, all we can see is that Oregon is going to have one whoop-de-doo of a fight this fall when Doug and Wayne lock horns. Certainly been quiet and peaceful since the election is over. Would anybody care to suggest that we fluoridate our water? From The CountyjAgent's Office By N. C Anderson While we are talking of field seperately. She also announced days, don't forget the field day at the Lloyd Smith and Sons' farm near Mayville. This farm was chosen as the 1955 winner for state "Conservation Man of the Year" contest. The field day begins at 10:00 a. m. at the Jack Smith farm which is three miles east of Mayville. During the morning machinery and conser vation in adjacent fields will be visited, with a lunch at noon at this farm. During the afternoon, the farm operations will be loured, seeing such things as di version terraces, trashy fallow, stock water dams, range plant ings with Nomad alfalfa and Crested wheat, sod waterways, etc. Farmers who have attend ed these conservation field days in the past have been well pleas ed with the time spent and have brought home practices which can be applied on their farm. A recent report from the State Department of Agriculture states that the livestock brand inspec tion fee will be reduced five cents, effective July 1. The new fee will be twenty-cents per head. The fee reduction was ap proved at a recent meeting of the livestock advisory committee, who considered last year's brand inspection fee surplus too large for good administrative processes. The annual spring meeting of the Morrow County Wheat Grow ers Association, held on Tuesday evening of last week was attend ed by approximately sixty far mers. Committee reports by the chairmen of the six standing committees brought those pre sent up to date on what our local Association is doing, work ing through the Oregon Wheat Growers League and National Association of Wheat Growers. Doris Graves, chairman of the domestic wheat utilization com mittee, reported that that group feels the need for closer cooper ation between farm commodity organizations, promoting their products together rather than the butter cake baking contest sponsored by the league for the 1950 Fair. The report of the youth activities committee, that is headed by D. O. Nelson, point ed out that the Oregon Wheat Growers League fat stock show and sale at The Dalles was be coming more popular from the standpoint of Morrow county 411 and FFA exhibits than ever. Where ten beef, fifteen sheep and six hogs were exhibited by club members in 1955, seventeen steers, twenty lambs and five pigs will be exhibited at the 1956 show which, will be held in it's new home in the Seufort Can ning property on June 5, 6, and 7. Milton Morgan, chairman of the Production and Land Use Committee reported that the seed allocation committee was asking for applications for distribution for the two new wheats, Omar and Columbia, which are under In crease this year. Application will be taken at the County Agent's office until June 30. Noln Brothers, Norman and Alfred Jr., were announced as the County winners, "Conservation Men of the Year". They were chosen for their long time con servation activities in their area. Floyd Root, Sherman county far mer and vice-president of the National Association of Wheat Growers, who spent the majority of the spring in Washington, D. C. working on farm legislation favorable to wheat growers, re ported on activities there. He slated that the league and na tional association had two things In mind for the wheat farmer. Due, to provide an increased in come at once, before it was too late and two, to work for favor able long time legislation. He stated that both objectives were defeated and that there is little legislation in this Congress was not too good. Oscar Peterson, lone wheat fanner, was chosen by the group as a possible can didate to represent this district on the Oregon Wheat Commis sion, replacing Marion Weather ford who has resigned. Morrow county farmers are re minded again of the "Conserva tion Man of the Year" field day to be held at the Lloyd E. Smith and Sons farm near Condon on Monday, May 28. The 1955 Con servation Man of the Year went toLloyd Smith and Sons and this presents an opportunity to inspect their conservation practices. An nouncements of the tour were sent to all members of the Ore gon Wheat Growers League this week. The program is listed and includes a visit to all of the THIRTY YEARS AGOj From Files of the Gazette Times May 27, 1926.

Mrs. Archie Ball and little daughter returned this week to the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Mahoney, from the Morrow General hospital. conservation practices on this farm, as well as appropriate re marks from a few Individuals who are interested in making the conservation program work. Frank Anderson, Heppner, this week began construction of forms for a stack silo. The silo will be constructed in such a way that cattle can be self-fed. Fifty-five acres of rye, which is estimated, will make three hundred tons of silage, will be put into the silo within the next ten days. Investigation of vice condl-! tions in Portland have been set for June 4. Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton wanted a new grand jury to take hold of the much mulled situation. Judge Alfred P. Dodson has said he would call a new grand jury June 4. NEW BLIND SCHOOL HEAD Walter Dry, superintendent of the State School for the Blind for 25 years will retire June 30. "That I may do things while I can enjoy them," as he put it. He and his wife expect to do con siderable traveling after a rest at their Manzanita Beach cot tage. Thursday the State Board of Control selected Everett E. Wi'l-i cox, 41, principal of the school to succeed J)ry as superintendent. ATTORNEY DISBARRED The Oregon Supreme Court this week ordered Walter Lamar Townsend, Klamath Falls attor ney, permanently disbarred from practice of law and revoked his license. Townsend who had been named executor of the last will of Joseph M. Cronin failed to file an ac counting as ordered by the pro bate court and was removed from this assignment. The court's opinion said that subsequently it appeared that assets aggregating $12,631 were missing and Townsend was found guilty by a trial committee of the state bar of converting that sum to his own use. FLUORIDATION LOSES Fluordidation measures were voted on in 12 Oregon cities last week, but in 10 they went down to defeat and were adopted in two. McMinnville with a three' to two vote and in Roseburg where the vote was only a recommenda tion, not binding on the council. In the 10 c ities where the measures were defeated only Al bany had a close vote. In other cities which turned down fluori dation the margins varied but none were indecisive. These were: Ashland. Bend, Hood River, Lebanon, Oswego, Salem, Seaside, St. Helens and Stayton. COLD POLITICAL GOULASH The difference between McKay and Hitchcock was 20,000 votes and $20,000, of campaign funds. Anti McKay Republicans in Multnomah County switched their strategy the day before the primary election, passing the word to vote for the ex-Secretary of the Interior as "he will be an easier target for Wayne Morse than Hitchcock." Almost as soon as Phil Hitch cock sonsented to a McKay pr0. posed pact, "Don't shoot at me and I won't shoot at you," the Hitchcock strategists knew the game was lost and they were bottled up. U. S. Senator Estes Kefauver was bushed mentally and physi cally when he made his last Ore gon speech in Salem last Thurs day. Hatless, the former Univer sity of Tenessee 200-pound 6-foot. 3 guard and tackle, stood for 25 minutes in the boiling 88 degree sun while addressing a crowd of 1000 on the Court House lawn. Four hours sleep in four days handicapped his showing and following, and contributed to Stevenson's lead. "SPELLS OUT" MUSH McKay for U. S. Senate, Un (Continued on page 6) ANNUAL EPISCOPAL Birthday Party PUBLIC CARD PARTY BRIDGE -PINOCHLE Saturday, June 2 1 :30 Dessert 75c Parish House i'li'iPl The grazing alfalfa tour held on Monday, Tuesday and Wednes day of this week revealed some interesting things, Some stands of alfalfa and grass had im proved since last year's tour, while others did not look so good. The five alfalfa demonstrations showed approximately the same count in number as in 1955. Counts are made in a representa tive area in each, of these demon strations and in each variety. Counts will be taken as long as there is alfalfa to count in order to determine which of the alfal fas, Ranger, Sevelra, Rinzoma, Dadak or Nomad will stand up the longest. Those attending the tour had the opportunity to ob serve the advantages and dis advantages of various types of seedings. Considerable interest was shown during the tour on what combinations of grasses and al falfas should be seeded under the soil bank program. Much con sideration is being given by some farmers for a grass and legume that will return the most humus and organic matter to the soil. Since it appears that soil bank seedings will not be allowed to be grazed, grasses and legumes to be recommended will be some what different than those that have been used by livestock growers for maximum production of livestock forage.
