Single Copy 10 Cents. Other Editor's Thoughts- (With at least half of all editorials appearing in newspapers running to the political side, praising or, condemning the Hell's Canyon de cision, or working Morse or Neuberger over, it was a pleasant change to read the following which we found in a recent issue of the Wallowa County Chieftian of Enterprise. We reprint it here.) EXPERIMENTAL BIOLOGY Some people are never quite satisfied with the kind of creatures they find on this good earth and are constantly seeking ways and means by which they can "improve" various bird and animal spe cies. These efforts have been directed to produce short-legged cattle, long-backed hogs, broad breasted turkeys, boneless fish and the like, with a view to greater profits for the livestock, poultry and fish producers. No one has ever bothered to inquire into the number of people who might prefer soup bones to sirloins, wings to wish bones or hocks to hams. The people will eat what the experimental breed ers produce even If they don't like it. Now comes a new development In the field of experimental biology. Some Chinese communists have been crossing hen with goose eggs to see what would happen. They have injected the white of goose eggs into chicken eggs and hatched a modified chicken with a broad beak, longer neck, bigger haunches and larger body, the re ports state. It has not been announced whether the fowl will be called a chicken, a goose, or maybe a "yen" or a "hoose". We don't know what advantage it will be to have a domestic fowl with a longer neck or a broader beak. We have "been amazed for many years at the preponderance of neck in every serv ing of chicken. The prospects of a chicken with the neck of a goose, or maybe a swan, doesn't par ticularly enthuse us. An amphibian "hoose" might be an advantage in area which are alternately suffering from drouth or floods. This hybrid might be able to take to land or water as conditions should dictate. As a matter of curiosity we have wondered whether the bird honks or cackles, quacks or crows. Maybe the white of canary eggs could be In jected into chicken eggs, along with the goose egg whites, and produce a "cenoose" which would scratch like a hen, swim like a goose and sing like a canary. They could be kept as pets in the house making It unnecessary to buy, or even to gather the eggs. But before the Communists beat us to it, we would like to see someone try Injecting the whites of alligator eggs into chicken eggs and see what would happen. We might get a chicken (or "alii ghen") with a breast ten feet long, no wings and no neck. Then we would really have something. From The County Agent's Office By John Massle Morrow county is fortunate in having a county weed program which is actively pushing the fight against noxious weeds Under the direction and super vision of Nels Anderson, your county agent, now on vacation, (he weed program is put Into action by Cal Carson, county weed sprayer operator. Cal is the fellow you see out spraying roadsides and farmers fields with the county spray rig, You're liable to see him out anytime of the day or night as he likes to work when the air is still. It is remarkable in recent years the advances we have seen in spray materials. We see new kinds of sprays coming on the market continually. For every weed there are at least two or three sprays that will knock it out. Much remains to be done in spray research not only In amounts applied but the time of application and stage of growth of the weed are all vitally im portant to good control. Any one of these not watched closely can lead to poor results in a com plete kill of the weeds. . There is another very interest ing side of this problem of weed control. This is the little known field of finding an insect which will live on and eat only the . STAR THEATER HEPPNER Thu.

As you could imagine, this would indeed be the lazy way for weed control. Here in Morrow county we have an excellent example of this type of weed control program. You all probably know goatweed which i fairly widespread in this area. In 1954 Cal Carson put out five colonies of goatweed beetles which will eat only goatweed. There are 2500 insects in a col ony of goatweed beetles and they anacK tne goatweed witn a healthy appetite. Originally im ported from Australia, the beet les were distributed in this area through Oregon State college and the county agent. Along with the original five colonies, an ad ditional four colonies have been put out. The goatweed beetle has some interesting habits. They will go at a patch of goatweed and v in a very methodical fashion like a group of soldiers, will fan out from the center working their way through the field. Once finished, they can travel from three to five miles to another patch of goatweed. Cal has ob served them doing Just this. When fall begins to approach, the goatweed beetle will burrow down into the roots of the goat weed and there hibernate until spring. When spring arrives they will come above the ground and start their feeding on the goatweed again. Once they ex haust their supply of goatweed they will starve to death. Every spring Cal will go out and col lect enough beetles to make a colony and transport them to a new patch of goatweed. Cal says this beats spraying anytime.

YELLOW STRIPE NEXT It would not be much of a problem for the State Highway Department to find a yellow paint that would fade to white but what they would like to have now is for the white paint they now use on the center stripe of highways to turn yellow. Two years ago the department changed from yellow to white in a move to standardize the color of highway center stripes used throughout the United States. State Highway Engineer R. H. Baldock has announced that white will not be used again. "It has been found," he states, "that white lines fade sooner than yellow and that Oregon drivers have expressed a preference for the yellow, even though fresh white lines are considered some what more visible than yellow lines." It will take quite some time, perhaps a year to make the tran sition, but it will be started as soon as possible. LOW BIDS TOO LOW After submitting the low bid of $490,560 for "building a new dor mitory at the State School for the Deaf at Salem, George Moore and Associates advised the State Board of Control Wednesday that their bid contained an error of approximately $60,000 which would cause the firm heavy fi nancial losses." Seven other bids were submit ted with James Hickey, Portland, the next lowest at $518,000 which was accepted in view of the bid withdrawal. The board rulecf that because of the error in the bid and the withdrawal the Moore firm will not be eligible to submit another bid for state construction for a period of three years.

To the eye, the new Corvette and the new Chevrolet are far different. But these two champions have one superb quality in common both were born to cling to the road as though they were part of it! Chevrolet's astonishing readability is a big reason why it's America's short track stock car racing cham pion. It can and does out-run and out-handle cars with 100 more horsepower.
