At least a million words have been published in recent weeks condemning Senator Morse, while the senator has used nearly as many to defend himself and his record. His accomplishments (or lack of them) in the senate are plainly outlined in the following editorial which appeared last Fri day in the Corvallis Gazette-Times. The record as shown below, certainly proves him to be a man of words rather than deeds. Not all the quotations hurled back against the incumbent senator running for election come from the past. The G-T Wednesday quotes a speech in Lebanon Tuesday night in which he said; "My re cord on veterans legislation is not one of lip ser vice at election time, but one of accomplishing things for veterans welfare." Wayne Morse's record of accomplishing any thing for anybody is practically nil and this statement is not "lip service" at election time. Here is an impartial record of the bills and all resolutions on which his name appeared as either one of the sponsors or as the one who introduced the piece of legislation. The record was prepared by a Willamette University student and included in his thesis for a Master's degree.

In looking through this new year book, it appears to be one that all of our livestock men should be interested in having as a source of reference. While it is not as well illustrated as the 1912 year book of agricul ture, "Keeping Livestock Healthy" it does have a more up-to-date discussion of diseases of all class es of livestock and poultry. A copy should be available for you from your U. S. Congressman or it can be purchased for $2.00 from the Superintendent of Documents, Washington 25, D. C.

Politicians Anderson grown at the Frank Anderson i'aim, Eightmile and John Proud- foot farm, lone, show that Omar was the top producing variety at the Anderson nursery, while Re qua outyiclded all others at the Proudfoot nursery. At Andersons', Omar yielded 32 bushels; com pared to 29.1 of Rex; 28.4 of Burt; 26.4 of Rio; 25.8 of Orfed; 25.3 of Columbia; 21.8 bushels Requa; 21.5 Brevor; 20.5 Golden and 20.4 of Elmar. At Proudfoots', yields were not consisiant with the sur rounding area. It is thought that the cause of this was a poor stand, as the nursery was seeded Octo ber 10th in the dust, a consider able period of time before fields in the araa were seeded. A heavy stubble mulch on the field might also have contributed to a poor stand, especially since seeders used were not adapted to such a seedbed. The yields, however, while not as great as harvested in the area do show comparisons between varieties. Requa, there, yielded 12.6; Rio, 11.4; Orfed, 10.9; Columbia, 10.S; Burt, 8.9; Elmar, 8.7; Rex, 8.4; Brevor, 8.4 and Golden, 7.5 bushels. It was interesting to note that Omar in both plots outyiclded Elmar considerably. This was the case in field seedings throughout the Columbia Basin this year even though Omar is not claimed to be a higher producing variety than Elmar.

In actuality the 107c batting average riding the coat tails of the other article in NEWSWEEK, Raymond Moley, who was one of FDR s original "braintrust ers" has an articte entitled "Morse, Sterile States man." Moley reviewed Morse's Congres "utterly sterile" and "ineffective as a representative and statesman.' The net re sult for Oregon after 12 years, he says, has been words, and scores of driveling reso which have come to nothing." He reputation in the Senate, like that of his friend, Senator Kefauver, is that of a man who shrinks the hard grind of committee service and eternally plays to the gallery with criticism of those who have labored and produced. This sort statesmanship is contemptuously regarded by Senatorial Colleagues. The answer is that with the possible exception of a 1945 World Morse has earned credit for no Childress, Texas, Reporter: "An a Dutchman were talking. 'What look like?, asked the American. 'It replied the Dutchman, 'red' white say they have a connection with get red when we talk about them; get our tax bills, and pay 'till we're blue in the face. That s just how It is here,' com mented the American, 'only we see stars too.'"

Any one of 'em could have been elected on a world series platform of declaring Wednesday a national holi day and advocating a TV set on every street cor ner, s be just one nursery located in the county. This will be at the Frank Anderson farm which was seeded last Monday. Five wheat and one barley fer tilization plots were established last week. This brings the num ber of wheat fertilizer plots to 29 on 27 different farms since they were first started here in Morrow county. This year's plots are lo cated on the Kenneth Smouse, Stefani and Son, Max Barclay, Harold Evans and Burton Peck ranches, with the first barley fertilizer plot to be established in this county located at the Os car Peterson farm. The plots, 150 by 200 feet, have 15 different fertilizer applications applied In the fall and the spring. Amounts of fertilizer vary from 20 to 100 pounds of nitrogen, with phos phorous, sulfur and minor ele ments. Soil moisture and nitro gen samples are taken at the time that the fertilizer is applied, both fall and spring. These tests are used in determining results of yield in effect to the amount of nitrogen and soil moisture dur ing the year. While applying a fertilizer plot at the Harold Evans ranch last week, and in visiting with Harold on soil moisture in his fallow, I was surprised to find that sum mer fallow made with the Gra ham Hoeme plow has consider ably more moisture at seeding time than Moldboard plowing. Part of the summer fallow in one field was made with the Gra ham Hoeme plow, part with a Moldboard plow. When the field was seeded it was found that the , From where I iid More ami more farmers who badly ne'd hired help sometimes, but can't afford a full-time hand are muking deals with young town workers and the employers they work for.
