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?

CountyjAgent's Office

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

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

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.

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.

minutes in the boiling 88 degree

Four hours sleep in four days
handicapped his showing and
following, and contributed to
Stevenson's lead.

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.
