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.

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

Even though the last couple
of weeks have been excellent for

was wishing for something
which would kill cheat out of
wheat selectively after seeing
cheat make a rapid headway
during the rainy weather earlier
this spring. Even though the
killing of the one broad leaf out
of another or grass out of a
cerial looked impossible a few
years ago, rapid gains have been
made in such research. It now

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

include cheat grass control on
trashy fallow by chemicals, late
and minimum tillage
plots, combined 2, 4-D fertilizer
applications and annual crop

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.

We have had several inquiries
at this office on the seriousness
of aphids in wheat. 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
