Pictured above is one of the finest examples of waste in government that we have run across in quite a spell. In the center of the picture is a large 11 by 11 inch manila envelop which this paper re ceived last week in the mail from the Adjutant General of the State of Oregon. Inside the enve lope was one folded mimeograph sheet which can be seen tacked to the lower corner of the envelope which was merely a press release from the head quarters of the st Infantry Division, Public In formation Section, telling all editors, who even bothered to read it, that the Oregon and Washing ton National Guard had completed training at Fort Lewis. Above the large envelope is a copy of last week's Gazette Times to show how un necessarily big the envelope was. Now here's our gripe! That envelope cost the taxpayers at least 3 cents, if purchased in 50,000 lots, and considerably more if bought in smaller Mr. and Mrs. O. M. Whitting- ton drove over from their home at Bend the end of the week, spend ins a couole of days visiting Mr, and Mrs. Noah Clark at Eight Mile. Quantities. In addition, the thing was so heavy that it cost six cents to mail it even with only .... ,uo( j ner in it. Then to cap it Oil, even though the envelope had a full two inches of gum on the flap, it wasni uu-.i - was sealed with a nine inch strip of heavy weight three-inch paper gum tape which probably cost us taxpavers another half cent or so. We know that most, if not all, newspapers In Oregon received the same type of a mailing piece, for we have seen editorial comment from other editors, so the cost of that one little piece of propaganda ran into quite a considerable sum. We know that this item Is small peanuts com pared to the lot of other wasteful habits of govern- . -! hut this one is so silly and un- called for that we take particular effort to call It to the attention of our readers. We're all paying the bill and that bill could be a little smaller if somebody in the Adjutant General's office would just use his head. . tion to characteristics in the genetic history of breeding cat tie.

Morrow county has a number of farmers participating on these committees which will meet during the summer, fall, and early winter in prcperation for the general conference which will be held in Portland the lat ter half of February, 1957, Oregon State college was asked by the Oregon Wheat Growers League to assist them with holding such a conference. The task of develop ing good committees, determin ing Questions for consideration, gathering and evaluating data has taken a great lot of time. Committee members participat ing are doing s0 at their own expense. J. Ri Beck, assistant di rector extension service at Ore gon State reports that because wheat is so involved in both na tional and international policy, the conference undertaking is more difficult than any similar one that the college staff has tackled. The economic signifi cance certainly justifies the un dertaking. If broad and tnougnt ful consideration can produce helpful recommendations, the results should be good for Ore-eon, Those from Morrow county who their Dart in assisting on committees for the conference are Al Lamb, Lexington, market ing system; Garland bwanson, lone, livestock feeding; uon Peterson, lone, and Frank Ander son, new crops and land utiliza tion; Kenneth Smouse, lone, pro duction costs.

Frequently the upper half of the entire plant is dead or dying, with tne dis coloration being a light tan to medium brown shade as com pared with the healthy green foliage. This disease is canea Berckmann's Blight. One cul tural practice will aid consider able in controlling future iniec- tions. Remove all the dead and we akened infected twigs and branches. Often these are found in the center of the shrubs. Prune them out now and burn them. Do not leave them on the trash pile where spores can be spread bv wind and air currents to cause future infections in the fall and winter months. A gar den hose also helps remove the dead twig growth. Removal of such dead material also en courages new healthy growth. No sprays are recommended for con trol at this time of year. Fixed copper spray applications are sueeested Drior to fall rains in early October to help prevent the disease from occurring next year. AUCTION!

For those who haven't heard: "Mac" recently stopped at an out-of-town diner. He ordered the chef's special -and his wait ress (brand new on the job) made every possible mistake. She con fused the order, spilled the soup, dropped the rolls, brought him a wrong dessert- Despite it all, "Mac" left a substantial tip. But she smiled and handed the money back. "Keep it, Mister -you've sure earned it more than I have," she said. From where I sit, that girl de serves credit for admitting her shortcomings something not everyone is big enough to do. For instance, I'm convinced lots of folks know they're wrong when they deny me the right to a glass of beer with my supper . . . just because they happen to prefer some other beverage. They wouldn't like me ordering them to accept my choice. Copyright, 1956, United Stutes Brewers foundation Big brothers of the best seller ... and every bit as modern ! if' XJaM J$ Seriei 9000 LCJ.
