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. The comm
ittee in charge are asking those

who bring in bulls provide their
own hay for the day. Straw for
bedding will be arranged for.
Breeders were also urged to come
prepared to tie up bulls that were
halter broken. 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
order that our town and country

Canada's new Prime Minister
Diefenbaker is quite a man. 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-

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

want to have both their cake and

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

If the game commission will
now raise approximately 200,000
trout that will rise for the state

to January 21. i
Recent meetings and discus

of opinion caused by misinfor

so a broader representation could
be arranged. Only about one
