Single Copy 10 Cents. Too Many Pills for Recovery (This following editorial from the Nyssa Gate City Journal shows that state "help" isn't always what it might be. Morrow county's situation is very similar.) Oregon's basic school support funds and the political promises of "more and more state funds to help the taxpayers" are much like the story of the patient who was so pleased with his doct or's orders he wanted to improve upon them. It seems the patient was ordered by his doct or to take one pill a day for complete recovery in six days, so the patient decided if he took two pills a day he would be completely well in three days! There's no denying the mathematical reasoning is sound. Basic school funds from the state are nec essary in this day and age of better schools and better education, but the "two-pills-a-day theory" is proving that school problems, like Illness, can not be cured in half the normal time by theory. School patrons at Nyssa, Ontario, Vale and nine other districts in Malheur county are bene fitting this year with more state funds and low er local levies because of a $15 per census child increase voted by the 1957 legislature. Those of us living in any of the benefitting districts might feel we are getting a bargain, but what about the 15 smaller districts, including two at Adrian, where the increased child support reduced their state aid and in turn forces the districts to in crease local taxes? A vast majority of the patrons of most of these 15 districts are farmers who are paying through the nose to help those of us in the 12 benefitting districts save with lower millage rates. We don't believe farmers want any special favors tax-wise, but neither do we believe that we should have special favors with reduced taxes at their expense. The $10 per child increase proposed by the 1957 legislature might have been justified but the $15 increase seems to have been the extra two pills that are going to make a lot of pat ients very sick.

FAMILY NIGHTS gallons of punch during the day! Farmers who sell wool below the national average price for the 1958 marketing year will wind up getting less for their wool than the national incentive price of 62 cents per pound. This is how the wool payment pro gram works: For the 1956 marketing year (for which payments were made in the summer of 1957) the nat ional average wool price was 44.3 cents per pound. The in centive payment rate was 40 to bring the average price up to the incentive level.

Due to the small attendance during the past few years the Sherman branch station at Moro have decided that they will dis pense with their annual neid rtav In 1958. Instead they are asking those counties which are interested to indicate if they would like an individual county tour of the station. One of the reasons for the small attendance at field days was the date of the tour which in many cases had conflicted with county act ivities or harvest. Things oi in terest on the station this year include cheat grass control on trashy fallow by chemicals, late and minimum tillage plots, combined 2, 4-D fertilizer applications and annual crop nbi(T with wheat, oats and bar- Ipv Those farmers who are in terested in seeing some of these things as well as the establisn po nrartiees maintained at the sfation could contact this office ; with the hopes that we might get together a couple of car loads for a visit in late June when, the most might be seen. j Alaska LIFTING GOOD FOR WOMEN At a public hearing of the State Wage and Hour Commiss ion Thursday Dr Ralph E Sull ivan said, "No medical or health evidence shows that women are more adversely affected by lift ing than men." The hearing was held to con sider evidence from agriculture on proposed revisions of two or ders, one dealing with sanitation in agricultural field jobs and the other with the physical wel fare of women and minors em ployed in agriculture. Greatest objection was raised to the pro posed 30-pound carrying limi tations for women. Dr Sullivan said, "From a medical standpoint the weight a woman can carry would de pend upon her individual stren gth." He added that while in jury from lifting is infrequent, hernia is the injury most often reported and this occurs in men much more frequently than in women.

After mak ing a number of field checks during the last week it was poss ible to find an aphid build up which come anywhere near be ing serious and need for spray ing. This does not mean that aphids numbers will not build further for it is still early the year for aphids. Those who have had experience with up in crease. Surely it mis wt-ie mc results of Minnesota they could be applied to Oregon. For those who fertilized in late winter or early spring a second application of fertilizer on irrigated pastures will give a boost during the mid- j summer slump. A late June ap plication of 40 to 60 pounds of nitrogen, depending on the amount of water available for irrigation will increase yields considerably. A mid September application will prolong grazing later in the fall if irrigation wat er is available. , i USE GAZETTE TIMES 1 CLASSIFIED AtfS j 1 "ri-ife-. -.,-.:.- .1,; mm lotions 1 During 'June On All DrcfSs S!3!th June.
