Single Copy 10 Cents. Oregon's Economic Future Solid in Comparison (Following is an editorial which appeared last week in the North Bend (Ore) News and should serve as a pretty good tonic for some Oregonlans who think the state's economy is coming apart at the seams. We would all do well to believe what is said below rather than do our best to "talk oureslves into a depression" the way some have been doing). A statement by Lewis G. Prichard, assistant vice president of the First National Bank in Port land, takes on new meaning in light of the an nounced layoffs of some 6,000 to 9,000 men in Seattle by Boeing. Writin-g in the June issue of the Oregon Busi ness Review, published by the University of Ore gon, Prichard said: "The economic status of Ore gon could become an ideal model for all other areas." When we read this in June we thought Mr. Prichard was being a little brash, especially with the lumber industry slide, and the papers full of statements frcm the Oregon congressional delega tion telling us back home what a hell of a shape we really were in. But in comparison to what is happening in California and now Washington in the aircraft industry, Oregon's economic future, while not spectacular, looks more solid. Prichard saifl, "If an index of industrial pro duction for Oregon for recent months were avail able, it would show a trend at a figure barely below the peak. The index of industrial produc tion for the nation remained unchanged at a rec ord high of 146 from October through March, ex cept that December was at 147. The declines occur ring in lumber and automobile manufacturing nationally were offset in the aggregate, but in Oregon the increases in other industries did not quite overcome the drop caused by the market slumps in building materials. No significant pick up in the forest products industries is impending. The present low volume of lumber consumption in home construction will be accompanied by other concurrent readjustments, but Oregon's overall economic activity can be maintained at a prosper ous level in the years to come." Let's keep what we have and build on solid ground for the future would seem to us to be a good banner for us here in the Bay area. TO THE EDITOR . Dear Sir: This letter concerns the need for a new tax program for Ore gon, and the recognition of that need by a group of Klamath County citizens. Oregon people have been ar oused to an awareness of their tax burden this past two years; a tax burden that is discourag ing industry from entering the state; a burden that Is resulting In unemployment and few Job opportunities being created. I The past session of the Oregon one Legislature did very little to rem edy this situation. It would seem that any movement toward a fairer tax program must come from the people themselves. We who live near California's borders note that in that state great employment possibilities have been created, and that the tax program is especially design ed by their legislative bodies to encourage new industry. Oregon needs new Industry. Oregon workers need Jobs. High and inequitable taxation is pre venting the establishment of a good and fair business climate, to bring better payrolls and Job opportunities. Taxation is not a partisan con sideration. Let's take taxes out of politics. Our group of Republic ans and Democrats and people who are from all walks of life are planning an initiative meas ure to give Oregon a modern and competitive tax program. Before finally drafting an initl- From The County Agent's Office By N.

Livestock men are invited to in spect the corrals and use them It should be emphasized, how ever, that only the best seed of these varieties should be seeded since with the large amount of Burt and Omar on hand no one needs to seed anything but the pure variety. In an attempt to help farmers to know where the good fields of these and other varieties were located in the county, the Morrow County Wheat Growers Associa tion appointed a seed committee last winter. This committee asked that farmers who were interested in selling seed wheat contact them in order that an inspec-l tion of their fiehj might be made. Interest was poor in plan; there were a few who contacted the committee and whose seed fields were checked. Those who have indicated that they have Omar are Norman and Freddie Nelson, Lexington; Lloyd Howton lone; Andy Van Schoiack, Heppner; Carl Bergstrom, lone. Burt: Norm and and Freddie Nelson Lexing ton; Bob Rietmann, lone; Lloyd Howton, lone; Kenneth Smouse, lone. Those who have certified wheat which has passed field in Dealers Act. Individuals and bus iness concerns of all types come under the law if they buy hay from farmers. Only those who buy hay for their own use do not need to apply for a license and obtain a bond. The minimum bond is $1000 and the department may require a greater amount based on the amount of hay bought on an average month. The hay dealer may operate from as many places as he wishes under the one license. Anyone who would need one of these licenss or have questions concerning this new law should direct inquiries to the State Department of Agri culture, division of plant indus try, Salem.

Several additional fungicides have been tested and found to be only fairly effective in the control of smut of wheat. These should be used only where the more effective materials are not available. Some of these are Agrox, Bytrete, Merculine 100, Mer-kote, Mer-sol, Puraseed, Se trete and Terraclor.

During the past week or so we have had several Inquiries for seed of the two new wheat varie ties released in the past two years, Omar and Burt. The perf ormance of these wheats have been so good this year that a large acreage of them will no doubt be seeded this fall.. Sup plies are large and no "one should have difficulty in getting the seed from a neighboring farmer. Leonard Rill, Heppner. With these sources of good clean seed along with that that is certified which indicates that there is absolutely no rye and less than 110 of 1 percent of other wheat varieties with no weeds, there is no need for anyone to seed wheat of these varieties with rye or mixed with other kinds of wheat. The state department of Agri culture announced recently that after August 20 anyone who buys hay from a producer and resells it is required to have a state lic ense and bond. This is an entire ly new law known as the Hay As wheat seeding time grows near many questions are asked about the various seed treatment materials used for wheat smut control. Since there are a number of new seed treatments it may be timely to pass along information which includes recommendations of the USDA and agricultural ex ponent stations of Idaho, Mon tana, Oregon, Washington and Utah. Of the mercurial seed treat ments Ceresan M, Mema and Pan ogen are used most frequently, All of these are poisonous and their use should follow directions on the containers. None are ef fective against wheat smut which originates from soil-borne spores. Newest seed treatments are the nonmercury type. These are HCB (hexachlorobenzene). HCB is a slightly volatile, nonpoisonous chemical that may be applied to the seed either as a dust or as a slurry. HCB preparations control seed-borne smut spores and. also greatly reduces the incidence of common smut originating from soil-borne spores. There are sev eral brands of HCB 40 percent formulations which are now av ailable and recommended.
