Single Copy 10 Cents, From The County Agent's Office By N. C Anderson One of the best Morrow county fairs yet was our 1956 event. While many of the departments showed an Increase In quality and a great many In number, perhaps the biggest increase was in the grain division. Of course this division could increase con siderably from some of the past years exhibits and still not be too large. This year, however, saw one of the biggest grain ex hibits ever. The quality of all exhibits was high and we could challenge any county fair In Ore gon to beat it In quality and quantity. For those farmers who missed out on the fair, these figures will be interesting to them. In the common white winter classifica tion, 11 exhibits were made; com mon white spring, 3; white club, 3; hard red winter, 1; hard red spring, 1. In the new lot, added this year for the cleanest sample direct from the combine, un cleaned, 7 exhibits were made. Dean Hunt of Lexington did the cleanest Job with his combine, while John Graves took second, and Kenneth Smouse, third. There were also a lot of fine wneat exhibits in sheaves.

Barley and oat exhibits were also numer ous, with 9 entries. Burton Peck and Tom Huston made excellent exhibits with their collection of grains. Mr. Peck's first prize of seven varieties was nicely ar ranged and attracted much at tention, as did the exhibit of six' varieties exhibited by Tom Huston. There were three ex hibits of rye. The special trophy of a Schaffer's desk pen set, given by Morrow County Grain Growers for the sweepstakes wheat exhibit, was won by D. O. Nelson with his entry of Re-qua. Approximately 150 farmers at tended the educational meeting Tuesday night at the Lexington Grange hall where the soil bank program was explained. Interest from farmers in the acreage re serve section of the soil bank pro gram was high and it appears as though Morrow county's 31,000 acre allotment will be signed up soon after applications are made available. Sign-up is to begin September 11 and will continue through September 21. This section of the program has a goal to reduce the wheat acre age nationally 27 below the present 55 million acres. A wheat farmer may put in up to 50 of his wheat acerage allotment or fifty acres, whichever is the larger, on a first come first served basis. Sign-ups will be taken and the program administered by the local ASC Office and their County Committee. At the soil bank meeting Tues day night, announcement was made of the release and alloca tion of the newly released 27-15x Rex-Rio variety. Applications have been taken for the past week with many farmers making application at this meeting. The county allocation committee is meeting Wednesday evening to distribute the 2,000 bushels made available to Morrow county. For those who might be Interested this new wheat is adapted to areas where Elmar and Omar are apt to be too short but where pro tein wheat is not usually pro duced. This would mean the area where Rex was most popu lar, in general, umar is me r All MENTAL HOSPITALS FILL The enormous Oregon State Hospital at Salem, no longer cal led the insane asylum, has more than doubled its population since the depression days of 1933. It is getting crowded and no relief is contemplated for three or per haps four years when the new state hospital at Wilsonville Is expected to be open to patients. More patients are now entering the hospital voluntarily than are sent there by the courts. The pre sent population has almost reached 3500 and Is expected to be near 4000 by 1960. Since 1953 about 5075 patients have been admitted and approxl mately the same number have been discharged. JUVENILE WORK PERMITS A definite sign that the popu latlon of Oregon is increasing at an accelerated pace this year Is shown In the monthly report of the state labor commissioner Just released Work permits to employ minors under 18 increased 12 per cent during the first eight months of this year, as compared with the same period in 1955. The high month was June when the in crease reached 14 per cent. Food-procesing and manufac turing plants had a 21 per cent Increase in permits issued while wholesale and retail trade showed highest yielding and is recom mended for the high producing areas. 27-15xRex-Rio Is the se cond highest yielding. Columbia is recommended for the drier areas, were high protein wheat can be obtained. The average yields for 1954, 55 and 56 at wheat nurseries located at Con don, Shuttler Flat, lone, Eight mile, The Dalles, Kent and Moro. Omar yielded an average of 26.5 bushels compared to 25.7 for 27 15xRex-Rio; 24.3 bushels for Bre- vor; 23.8 bushels for Columbia; and 22.4 bushels for Rio, a Tur key variety. With 2,000 acres be ing seeded in Morrow county for increase in 1957, everyone desir ing to seed this variety should have enough seed for fall seed ing In 1957. 4-H CLUES won first place in the Juvenile division at Saturday's parade with this attractive entry. It played up its well-known club member. Fair and Rodeo queen Patsy Wright. (GT Photo) SMiY and SEE0) COT a 12 per cent rise. Applications for hiring minors multiplied In all industrial groups except com munications. Agricultural employment is not included in current reports of the labor commissioner. SCHOOL SUPPORT HIKE The basic school support ap propriation for the second year in the 1957-59 biennium with total $39,424,820, as compared with $36,377,520 expended for the cur rent year, Rex Putnam, state superintendent of public instruc tion, stated Wednesday. The estimated increase in the basic school support appropria tion was attributed to an increase in the school population. Under the current basic school support law the state distributes ) for each census school child between the ages of 4 and 19, In clusive, to the school distiicts. There is some agitation to in crease the $80 for each census child to at least $100. Such an Increase if authorized by the 1957 legislature would add another $1,500,000 to the annual basic school expenditure. Putnam says the Increase of population and births undoubted ly would result in higher enroll ment in the years ahead with the result that appropriations under the basic school support law would increase from year to year. SEARCH AND SEIZURE LAW George A. Rhoten, Salem, presi dent of the Oregon State Bar As sociation returned Friday from the American Bar Association's annual meeting in Dallas, Texas and commented on a proposal made by a policing group who asked that police be given more authority to interrogate sus- epects. Mr. Rhoten said, "The rules of search and seizure have de veloped over the centuries so that they afford a balance be tween the zeal of enforcement of ficers and the rights of accused Fair Prize Winners High Score Gary Jones, high individual scorer of the Heppner F. F. A. livestock judging team, was pre sented a plaque given by the Morrow County Grain Growers at the fat auction sale Friday night. Champion individual Judge of all contests was Bill Furrow of Wy East F. F. A. school chapter, Hood River. The Stanfield high school chap ter composed of Ben Hank, John Buseick and Walt Wolfe walked off with first place honors in the F. F. A. Judging team contest, Sec: ond place team was Heppner chapter composed of Gary Jones, Ed Brosnan and Larry Fetsch; and third team, Wy-East, with members Bill Trisell, Norman by Innocent citizens. These rules will, like all law, change to meet the needs of the people but I believe it would be a mistake to relax the protection which the law affords to all citizens against unreasonable search and seizure. To abrogate our right to be safe from unreasonable search and seizure would lead to a menacing form of tyrany. It is better that an occasional criminal escape punishment than that innocent people be subjected to oppressive unwarranted action by overly zealous enforcement officers. "In Oregon the caliber of our enforcement officers is hiffh and we do not have the porblem of protection against unreasonable search and seizure to the extent that this problem exists in other communities, but, nevertheless, it is necessary that we be alert to preserve this prized constitu tional right." Tonn and Bill Furrow. Other com peting teams were from Pendle ton, McLoughlin Hi, Milton-Free-water, Hermiston and The Dal les.
