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. There were

11 entries in this class. 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

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.

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

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."
