From The County Agent's Office Gardeners who have another successive planting of sweet corn to make might consider planting some Pot O' Gold, a re cent hybrid sweet corn variety which is well adapted to this area. Gilliam and BIsbee Hard ware, Heppner who handle seed of this variety report that those TO THE EDITOR . To The Editor: The Gazette Times of May 15 carried a report entitled "Unit School Plan Gets Approval of County Committee." This report states that the Morrow County School Reorganization Commit tee had acted to rescind a for mer plan and endorsed the County Unit Plan. By N. C Anderson who have tried it like it except ionally well and are back for more seed this year. The variety was released to ten gardeners through this office three years ago and as a result, it has been very popular. Many report that one planting has done well com ing on over a long period of time, doing away with successive In terval plantings like is usually done with sweet corn. For those who have tried Pot O' Gold we suggest that you compare It with your favorite variety. It Is a good freezing variety as well as for canning and for fresh use. Last week's soil judging field day and contest was a success in the eyes of those who attend ed. Adult attendance was poor, perhaps due to the nice day and the opportunity to catch up on some summer fallow, which has IN THE SADDLE . . .

Some of the boys, with the aid of the ladies, braided the rings In the musical ropes so they're ready for use, and the consess ion stand is far enough along that it can be used. Thanks to Jim Farley we have an electric range (till he can find a sale for it.)

Lexington Holds Baccalaureate By DELPHA JONES Baccalaureate exercises for the 1958 graduates were held at the Christian church on Sunday ev ening. Processional was played by Mrs Juanita Carmichael; In vocation Rev Norman Northrup; hymn; special music by the mix ed quartet; scripture reading, This is not a true statement. 'been a Process 'j8 sPrln? The Reorganization Committee Is directed by law to form adminl stratlve school districts only. Since the County Unit Plan does not qualify under law as an administrative district, the com mittee can not recommend It as a plan of reorganization under the 1957 act. The law states In Section 42 that the Committee may permit consolidation or reorganization that does not hinder its planning. Since the formation of a County Unit would aid the Committee In forming an administrative unit or units, the Committee has per mitted the County Unit Plan to come to a vote of the people. There would be lltthi differ ence in a County Unit Plan and a County Administrative District. The former calls for a five man board and the latter, a seven man board. The County Unit also provides for local commit tees for each school. As the law stands at present, however, the Reorganization Committee will be required to call another election to form an Administrative District even though the people vote in a County Unit Plan. The published report is correct in that only by forming a Coun ty Unit first can the joint dis trict territory be brought back into the county school system. I realize this Is all very con fusing. I don't want to be criti cal, but I am anxious that every one has the facts. Yours Sincerely, Fredrick T Martin, Chairman Morrow County School Re organization Committee To The Editor: I want to express my sincere thanks for the fine cooperation and work of my committees and everyone who aided in promot ing Conservation Week. Your work has made It possible to bring conservation to the schools, to Main street, to everyone. Remember don't make it Just one week, but all 52 weeks In observance of conservation.

Paul Koenig is letting us have some shavings if we can find some way to haul them as the surplus builds up. It would be nice if someone could see their way clear to bring in a mower and clip the weeds before Sun day.

For those who have inquired at the office recently and found us out of mouse and squirrel bait we can now fill those or ders with fresh bait. Demand this spring has been so great for mouse and squirrel baits that it has been difficult to estimate needs In advance so that orders could be filled at all times. Rath er than order large quantities with the resulting loss of ef fectiveness because of bait grow ing stale we have attempted to order bait as needed and have it fresh. Up to the time we go to press today, 167 pioneers of Morrow county have placed their names on the register at Gordon's store. It is expected that this number will be largely increased at the reunion tomorrow when Heppner will entertain a very large num ber of the early settlers of this section. Some more of the recommen dations made at this winter', planning conference were put into effect this week. At last week's election the ten mill county road levy passed making it possible to continue improving roads in the county. Another rec ommendation being carried out is that of mowing roadsides to prevent the spread of rye and other weeds not affected by 4-D spraying, This recommenda tion is being carried out through the purchase of a tractor and side mount mower which is in operation now in the north part of the county. Those who have heavy infestations of rye and other weeds which should be mowed could help by advising Elmer Peterson, countv weed man or this office. p -I (WHIWllfl,!
