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.

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-

which did not show response

The largest increase of yield

entire lot for seed increase was
seeded on this farm last fall. The
seeding rate was 21 lbs. 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

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

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.

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.
