Single Copy 10 Cents. From The County Agent's Office By N. C Anderson Last minute plans were made for the Bull Day which will be held as a part of the annual meeting of the Morrow County Livestock Growers Association on January 10. Meeting on Saturday evening the committee worked out last minute details and agreed that bulls would need to be in the corrals at the fair and rodeo grounds by 11 A. M., January 10. Since a large number of bulls are expected, those bringing in bulls for the day are encouraged to get them in as early as poss ible. Arrangements are being made for a bull type discussion beginning at 1 P. M. Si Williams, Purebred and Commercial cattle auctioneer has been asked to lead this discussion. The committee agreed that in order to ,4lve everyone the same opportunity in selecting bulls at this event, trading, buying and selling would open officially at 1 p.m. This should give everyone the opportunity to look over the bulls during the morning from the time they arrive.

For those who will want a weight on their bulls to determine a soiling price; weigh ing facilities will be available. The committee pointed out that there will be both young bulls and old bulls and in view of an apparent shortage of bulls this winter, that this would be an excellent place to both sell and buy. The Bull Day has ben well advertised and there is much Interest by people outside the county which no doubt will com pete for the bulls available that day. The committee has arrang ed to make It as comfortable as possible for those who are inter ested in the bull day and are providing heated areas and cof fee in case the day is a chilly one. As farmers get together from time to time of late, there has been much discussion on the out look of agriculture for 1958. The well being of agricultlre depends some on what Congress does in the way of farm programs at the next session. Morrow County farmers and ranchers will be in terested In a special radio pro gram which will be broadcast over NBC radio network on Mon day evening, January 6th. The special program sponsored by the Ralston Purina Company will feature Richard Harkness, vet eran news caster from Washing ton. It will be broadcast at 6:30 P. M. Pacific Standard time. This will give those interested an op portunity to hear what leading will be held at the Memorial Union building on January 9 and 10. Those interested in the details of the program can get them from this office. The month of January will be full of important meetings, the majority of which will be the var ious committees who are meeting and making plans and recomm endations for the Morrow county town and country planning con ference which is tentatively scheduled for February 10th.

In fact, because he is so outspoken ly all out for Canadians first, last, and always, there is some regret expressed that he could not have been elected to high office in the U. S. so as to have the refreshing change of some- itresraa' 'i.f.f. mm si fc " H 1 ' body that Is aUp out for Ameri-; cans, first, last and always. Despite the fact that the U. 8. poured out billions In forming aid to bail out Cana da's rnoiherjlV country, fcng- c. W. Harder land, and despite the fact that in so doing American money was debased to the point where the dollar Is now discounted in Can ada, Prime Minister Diefenbaker had no hesitation recently in taking on U. S. policies. Among other things, he de mands U. S. stop shipping sur plus wheat abroad as it knocks Canadian wheat out of these markets. He also wants to change the export-import ratio between the U. S. and Canada. Today, the U. S. is Canada's leading customer, taking 60 of their exports. Of course, due to the fact Canada has been build ing its industry with U. S. equip ment machinery, 72 of Cana da's imports are from the U. S. But he wants to change all this. The Canadian Prime Minister is also upset because the V. S. Congress has so far prevented the nation from being thrown in to the GATT, the United Nation's tariff wrecking scheme. He not only feels that tariff concessions that would be forced on the V. S. by this world body will increase Canada's Imports into the U. S., but would also force lower tar iff duties In goods from other countries. Thus, as these coun- National Federation nf imieppnrt-nt Bu-lnfi tries flooded the V. S. market to the ruin of the domestic produc er, they would also gain funds to buy more Canadian products. In other words, Canada's Prime Minister is all out for Can ada. There perhaps can be no quarrel with this stand. But It Is interesting to note the reply made in a speech in Buf falo by the U. S. Assistant Sec retary of Commerce Henry Kearns. It was filled with an apologetic note and assurances that at the conference table, all these things can be Ironed out. He did point out Canada is in a pretty booming shape. But he did not point out that part of this is due to the fact that the U. S. took the whole load In helping out the Mother Coun try of Canada. Neither did he point out that for the past few years the Can adian overall economy has un doubtedly been helped by the Canadian newsprint interests charging higher prices. Neither did the U. S. assistant Secretary of Commerce point out that it is bad business manners to pick a quarrel with one's big gest customer, and with the V. S. taking 60 of all Canadian ex ports, it should perhaps be V. S. policy to Initiate study to see if this nation Is not importing too much from Canada to detri ment of U. S. producers. This exchange cf speeches il lustrates a basic difference in U. S. leadership and foreign lead ership. Foreign nations, who want to have both their cake and eat it, too, make further de mands of the U. S. And U. S. leaders promise to sit down at a conference table and see what can be done.

Shrubs And Trout The state forestry department has announced it will raise ap proximately 200,000 shrubs an nually for the game commission which are t0 be used in estab lishing wild life habitat. Species include multiflora rose, American plum, sand cherry, sil verberry and choke cherry. If the game commission will now raise approximately 200,000 trout that will rise for the state forestry department boys both departments can then properly be labeled state cooperatives without offending either political party. : Beef Group Undecided I Five days before the December 24 deadline for registering to qualify for voting on the Oregon beef commission referendum state director of agriculture, Rob ert J. Steward, extended the date to January 21. i Recent meetings and discus sions among cattle producers re vealed there was a wide variance of opinion caused by misinfor mation. The later date was set so a broader representation could be arranged.
