What Has He Accomplished?
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 the 2 years of the 84th Congress ending 8-31-56,
Morse sponsored or co-sponsored 163 bills of
which 18 were passed, 2 vetoed and 16 enacted
for a batting average of 107. 5 of the 16 enacted
were private bills benefiting individuals; 3 were
public bills relating to affairs of the District of

The new year book of Agricul
ture for 195G is titled "Animal
Diseases". 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

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. This year there will

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.

at the Harold Evans ranch last
