THIRTY YEARS AGO
From the files of the Gazette
Times, July 7, 1927
The first reDort to reach this
office of the new crop is that
from the ranch of Barney Do-
hcrty in lower Sand Hollow. He
started his combine in a field of
Turkey red on Tuesday.
The Work Can Go On . . .
All set for this week's editorial column was
a dissertation on Helis Canyon, the real meaning
of tax write off, and such all ready, that is,
until Tuesday's House subcommittee vote made
the whofe thing entirely out of date, useless and
beside the point. The committee by its vote turned
thumbs down on the Democratic members' much
ballyhooed, much cussed and discussed political
football, the bill to build a high federally financed
Hells Canyon dam. The vote, coming much more
quickly than we had expected, caught us with
our editorials down.
It should be no secret to readers of this
column that the vote coincides with our thinking,
for we have contended for many month that if
we were to live long enough to see power flow
from a dam on the much debated stretch of the
Snake river, it would be a privately-built one.
Does the vote mean that the noise over Hells
Canyon will now be drowned out by the clatter of
jack hammers and concrete mixers going ahead
on the job they have aleady started? Not if we
know anything about Oregon's two equally noisy
senators who have taken it upon themselves to
"save Oregon from getting any power from Hells
Canyon" . . . unless that power is federally pro
duced. No, the shouting will undoubtedly go on,
as will the construction of the two dams now
started, but at least the air will be cleared for
the rest of this" session of Congress.

From a recent grain and hay
market review, it is reported that
there are big grain crops in India,
France and Mexico this year. The
recently harvested wheat and
barley crops in India have been
exceeded only by the record out
put of these two crops in 1954.

sociation has amounted to almost
nothing. The seed comittee was
set up through the request of
wheat farmers who made such
recommendations the past two
years at county fall meetlns of
Wheat Growers Association. The
recommendation was also passed
down from the Oregon Wheat
Growers Leaeue.
The object behind the listing
service was to be able to rfcfer
farmers who inquire at the coun
ty agent's office annually to a
source of clean seed in their com
munity. The seed committees in
tention was to personally visit
the fields so that they could
vouch for the cleanness of the
field. Several farmers who have
listed wheat will start harvest
ing this week. Harry Proudfoot,
who lives on the Jarvis Springs
ranch on Butter Creek, will start
harvesting his Columbia this
weekend. He has 100 acres of this
new hard winter wheat which
was released two years ago to
replace turkev and turkev-tvpe
wheats In the area where these
are grown. Columbia offers a
higher yield in these areas
which are suitable for producing
hich protein wheat. There should
be considerable demand for this
varletv from north Morrow coun
ty farmers. Mr. Proudfoot must
sell this wheat out of the field
as he has no storage. If it is not
picked up at the combine, this
good source of seed will be lost.
Mr. Proudfoot also has a consid
erable amount of Burt, the new
Rie-Rex cross which was released
last fall. This too must be picked

Here's why Chevy's besl showroom is the road!
Because Chevrolet's sleek good
looks, its advanced features, are
only part of the story. The big
bonus is its remarkable reada
bility, the crisp precision handling
that has posted an entirely new
standard for cars in every price
class. There are reasons for this,
of course: Chevrolet's balanced
weight distribution that takes
excessive loads off the front wheels,
the wide stance of outrigger rear
springs, Ball-Race steering, spherical-joint
front suspension. Sure,
you can admire the sculptured
lines in the showroom. But Chevy's
a car specifically designed for
beautiful motion you have to
travel in this one to know just how
terrific it is. Try it, this week!
