Single Copy 10 Cents. He Switched Long Ago It has been said many times that "hindsight" is a wonderful thing and it's certainly true. A little look into the past in the files of this news paper showed us this week that if the people of Oregon had been observing and understanding enough over 12 years ago they might have fore seen what Wayne Morse was going to do before he deserted the Republican party to become an Independent, a Democrat or whatever classifica tion you care to give the man. On May 4, 1914 the Heppner Gazette Times (long before our editorship! carried this editorial comment about Mr. Morse. It is extremely inter esting now . . . that the senator is forced to de fend himself for the first time since he made his "on the surface" party switch. The following excerpt from an editorial indicates that maybe the senator's switch was something that should have been made officially many years ago, for in actions, he made it before 1944. Here is the edi torial of 1944: "Senator Rufus Holman has returned to Ore gon for a brief campaign prior to the primary elec tion and has made it clear that he no longer is a defensive candidate. He is answering some of the statements made about him by his opponent for the nomination and has placed him on the defensive. Those in the know around the nation al capital are wondering "HOW MR. MORSE RATES HIMSELF AS A REPUBLICAN WHEN PRIOR TO HIS SUDDEN NOTICE TO RETURN TO PRIVATE LIFE HE HAD BEEN RATED AS A NEW DEALER." "The talk around Washington Is that the new deal inspired the professor to rush back to Oregon to lay a fight on Holman. His campaign has been typical of the now deal method announce your self and Indulge in generalities aimed to divert attention from the real motive and leave the im pression that he is a real Republican. The pro- lessor has a good flow of English and uses it to good advantage in talking around the subject." Wayne Morse has used his years since that time to improve on his ability to "talk around the subject," an art which he has completely mas tered. His ideas back in 1944, as indicated in the above quotation, show that even then Wayne Morse was dishonest with the people of Oregon when he accepted a senatorial position as a nepuDiican. In 1956 Oregon voters should show the sena tor that "political dishonesty does NOT pay." A Formula For Better Hunting A spontaneous combustion took place in Ore gon last year that has since kindled fires of In terest all over the Nation. The catalyst was RED HAT DAY and the un. expected chemical reaction brought together as divergent an assortment of elements as ever graced an experiment. The chemistry was undertaken in the field of numan relations one heretofore neglected in the eiforts to improve Oregon s outdoor opportunities. A year ago at this time, not even the staunch- est advocates of the original program for better hunter conduct were willing to bet their red hat that measurable success could be achieved. The apprehension of the supporters men wise in the ways of human nature was understandable. They felt that it would take years before an edu cational program would show its effects. But the outstanding success of last year's landowner-hunter cooperation activities stimula ted other states and the Izaak Walton League of America to announce intentions of establishing similar programs. Governor Elmo Smith called for a repeat of the RED HAT DAY efforts initiated by tne late Governor Paul Patterson. So once again, cattlemen and sheepmen, Game Commission and sportsmen, timberland owners ana labor, Mate Police and outdoor writers, Forest Service and farmers, governmental agencies and businessmen have joined in the unique experi ment in cooperation. But as was proved in 1955, the mere blending of organizations and governmental agencies in the RED HAT crucible will not reduce fires, cut down hunting accidents nor open more land to hunters. Everyone concerned, especially every hunter who takes to the field this year, must contribute to the proven formula by living up to the RED HAT Pledge: I give my pledge to be law abiding; to respect the rights and property of others; to be careful with fire and firearms. From The County Agent's Office By N. C. Anderson Results from the 1956 wheat fertilizer plot experiments are now available. Responses from nitrogen were obtained on all but one of the five farms. On the Lawrence Becket ranch in the Eightmile area, wheat yields were Increased from 29.4 bushels per acre on the unfertilized plot to C6.8 bushels per acre on the plot receiving 100 pounds of nitrogen per acre applied In the spring. This Is the first time in seven years of fertilizer plot re sults that 100 pounds of nitrogen gave a significant increase over 60 and 80 pounds per acre. Ln past years there has been con siderable reductions in yield with this high application. On this ranch, CO pounds of nitrogen per acre was the most economical rate. At the John Eubanks farm, west of lone near the Gilliam county line, our general recom mendation of from 20 to 30 pounds in this area held true in yield results from the plot. While a ten bushel increase re sulted in 40 pounds of nitrogen over the check plot, yields did not go up materially over the 30 pound rate. At the Kenneth Peck farm in Clark's Canyon, re sults were surprising since the wheat did not seem to get much higher but evidently the stooling resulted in marked increase yields. Here 20 pounds of nitro gen was the most economical ap plication with this application giving a ten bushel increase over the check plot. Two and one- half times the yield of the check plot was the result of 100 pounds of nitrogen on this plot this year. At the Harold Evans ranch there was a lot of variability In yields obtained, however, the highest yield was obtained with 40 pounds of nitrogen, which gave an eight and one-half bushel ln- THIRTY YEARS AGO From Files of the Gazette Times September 9, 1926 The Henry Schwarz home in this city was the scene of a lively party on Sunday last, the occas slon being a surprise on Mrs. Schwarz, sponsored by her hus band, who succeeded well in put ting the party over. Registration for the first day of school totaled 208 in the grades and 92 ln high school, while the high school lumped to 110 on Tuesday. Opening of the deer season to morrow is causing quite a stir among local sportsmen. ' Mr. and Mrs. B. R. Finch de parted today for Eugene where they will make preparations for entering the University of Ore gon this fall. Earl Warner, Lexington wheat raiser, was doing business here on Tuesday. The Misses Mary and Marjorie Clark were weekend visitors in Portland. William Hynd arrived home this week from Ontario, Canada, where he had been for some tire on a visit witn relatives friends. and New officers of the missionary society of the Christian church are Mrs. Carrie Vaughn, presi dent; Mrs. E. R. Huston, vice president; Mrs. F. S. Parker, sec retary and Mrs. R. L. Benge, treasurer. crease over the check plot. The only plot in the county this year which did not show response from nitrogen was the one locat ed on the Harold Beach ranch. The largest increase of yield was obtained with 60 pounds of nitrogen per acre, however, this gave only slightly over a four bushel Increase over the check plot. Fertilizer experiments will be carried on again in the Colum bia Basin, applied this fall at seeding time, with results ob tained next harvest. We would like to continue these in Morrow county and need cooperators in all communities in the county. The plot consists of less than half an acre. Farmers who are inter ested ln having such plots on their farms are urged to contact this office at once so these plots can be lined up soon. up this week at the Harold Bar-! nett farm near Pendleton. The! entire lot for seed increase was seeded on this farm last fall. The seeding rate was 21 lbs. per acre and the yield 63 bushels per acre Approximately 8000 bushels of this wheat was available for dis tribution this fall. There are still a limited amount of this wheat avaiable for late comers. Many questions have been asked about the yield of Burt compared to other varieties. Re suits from the Condon, Shutter Flat, lone, Eightmile, The Dal les, Kent, and Moro wheat nur series for the year of 1954, 1955, and 1956 show that it was second high in yield performance. Omar yielded 26 bushels in the aver age of all nurseries compared to 25.7 bushels for Burt. Brevor was next in line with 24.3 bushels, Columbia with 23.8 bushels, and Rio with 22.4. At the Eightmile nursery Burt outyielded Omar during these years by 1.3 bushels per acre. The advisory board for the Mor row County Grazing Association will meet at 10 oclock September 28 at this office. The meeting is called to act upon 1957 grazing applications and other matters which will require the attention of the advisory board. Applica tions for grazing permits of Tay lor grazing were Mailed to all lease holders earlier this month. They must be returned for action on the 28th. SEIOT and jm j by 2 amazing new products from A lot of Interest has been shown the last week in the newly released Rex Rio cross wheat of- licially named Burt. Twenty-six farmers applied for over 2000 bus hels. The seed Is being picked The acreage reserve of the Soil Bank program is turning out to be most popular. Tuesday, the first day that applications were taken, proved to be a busy day at the county ASC office. Ap proximately 50 farmers signed up for over 13 of the county's al location of 31,000 acres. A num ber of farmers indicated that they would like to sign their en tire wheat acreage allotment up under the acreage reserve. Barley will be seeded on the available acres with acreage reserve desig nated from the 1957 summer fal low. Reports are that the sign up date has been extended past September 21, however no official notice has been received at the office. Applications for the acre age reserve will be received until the dead-line date or until the county allotment is used up, whichever comes first. Sign-ups are on a first come first serve basis o Guests of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Bedford this week are their son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Bedford and daughters Julie and Jill, Bakersfield, Calif., and Jack Bedford's mothej, Mrs. Beatrice Bedford, Portland. Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Jackson and son of Portland were recent guests of his brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Wright. 781 Drivers Have Licenses Suspended A total of 781 Oregon drivers had licenses suspended last month because of run-ins with traffic laws or accident involve ment, the Department of Motor Vehicles reported today. Six drivers were "grounded" because they were involved ln fatal crashes. Oregon law per mits the department to suspend a driver's license when he has by incompetent, reckless or unlaw ful operation" caused or contri buetd to an accident resulting in death or injury to any other per son or serious property damage." Other reasons for license sus pensions last month included driving while intoxicated, 317; reckless driving, 66; violation of basic rule, 51; hit and run, 4; failure to report an accident, 83; driving record, 44; and failure to pass tests, 11. Abstracts for warded to the de partment from courts indicated 11,062 persons were convicted of traffic violations in August. The judges recommended 209 of the 781 suspensions handed out, while mandatory provisions of law or discretionary authority of licensing officials accounted for the remaining 364 suspensions. o Oregon Traffic Deaths Up in August Forty-five people were killed in Oregon traffic accidents last month, boosting the eight-month traffic toll to 269, the Oregon Traffic Safety Commission re ported today. The 45 August deaths, a figure which officials, called "strictly tentative", is the highest record ed for any month so far this year. The eight-month count of 209 represents seven more deaths than were reported for the same period last year. The commission's chairman, Warne H. Nunn, said two South ern Oregon accidents, each of which killed five people, were responsible for boosting the Aug ust count upward. "If those two accidents had been avoided", he commented, "the August count would have been a relatively low 35. Nunn also noted that Oregon experienced a good Labor Day weekend with only four deaths in traffic as compared with seven for the same holiday in 1955.
