Single Copy 10 Cents. The New Censorship Bureau All sorts of political attacks have been launch ed against the independent electric companies of the United States by advocates of Federal pro grams for development and distribution of elec tric power, financed by the taxpayers and free from taxation. One of the most unfair examples of methods used to prevent private companies from pro tecting themselves against a Federal power mon opoly is a ruling by the Bureau of Internal Rev enue that to be deductible, advertising expenses must be ordinary and necessary and bear "a reasonable relationship to the business activities in which the enterprise Is engaged." If adver tising in opposition to socialized Federal power, to protect the savings of tens of thousands of stockholders from subsidized government compe tition, doesn't bear "a reasonable relationship to the business activities In which the enterprise Is engaged" it would be hard to know what does. Are the Investigators of the Bureau of Internal Revenue to be censors to decide on the wording of each power company advertisement? Are they to be made part of the machine to advance socialism In the United States? If they are, this will be the biggest mass censorship of free speech ever attempted in a free nation. If electric power companies can be muzzled in this manner, the same rule can be applied to any other adver tising that opposes government competition with private citizens. It is only a step further to penal ize an editor for opposing editorially specified government policies. The politicians who figured out Internal Rev enue Bureau penalties for free expression of ideas on a public issue should be given a medal by Mr Khrushchev.

A number of ranchers have used the materials, including the boluses which are given orally and the spray which Is applied wetting the animal thoroughly.

To The Editor: Enclosed Is a clipping from the Cowlitz County Advocate an nouncing the death of Mrs Mary M E.Yan Hardenberg who lives Just two blocks down the street from us. Mrs Hardenberg was the for mer wife of A J Hicks, who in the fall of 1891, came to Hepp ner where he bought out the Heppner Gazette. He edited this paper for a few months then sold out and came to Castle Rock, Wash where he purchased the Cowlitz County Advocate. At the time the Hick s family lived In Heppner, they had three daugh ters and two sons, all going to the Heppner schools. Then, In 1910, Mr Hicks re turned to Heppner and purchas ed the Interests of the Heppner Times from E M Shutt which he edited up to about the time of the Heppner flood of 1903. Mrs Mary E Van Hardenberg was a daughter of John McMil lan who used to own a wheat ranch near Lexington. He sold out years ago and moved to Castle Rock, Wash where he died many years ago. Lila Adams (Hicks) was the wife of Ted Adams and the youngest daugh ter of Mr and Mrs A J Hicks, and was born in Castle Rock, Wash, but was well known when the Hicks children went to school in Heppner. Red Hicks, former newspaper man, and the only surviving son of A J Hicks lives in Ridgefleld, Wash. Red Hicks worked on the staff of the Ga zette years ago. Mrs Van Har denberg is closely related to the Lexington and Morrow county McMillans. Sam McMillan Is a cousin of Mrs Lila Adams of Castle Rock and has frequently visited us here. O M Yeager Castle Rock, Wash to get the answers to many soil and water problems; six panel discussions are scheduled for Fri day morning with Forest Scrog gin, Union, moderator.

There will be a woman's divis ion which girls may enter, and one for boys 18 years and under. The cash prizes and awards will be well worth going after. Ranchers who are interested in economical and efficient feed ing of livestock will find a trip to the Ronald Baker feed yard near Hermlston an Interesting and educational one. The write up which Ronald received In the last issue of the Oregon Farmer prompted me to visit the feed lot. I found lots of changes from a year ago when a special com mittee for the Morrow County Planning Conference visited the facilities. Ronald's ability to put on cheap gains has resulted in the word getting around to a lot of people throughout the state and my last visit to the feed yard which was Tuesday of this week, found eight men working furiously feeding, sp r a y 1 n g, building additional feed bunks and enlarging facilities to take care of the Increased number of cattle coming to the yards. Ron ald feeds out cattle of his own, custom feeds for others, either in the feed lot on a finishing ration or a wintering ration as the rancher prefers. If you can't get over to see this operation, read the article in the Oregon Fanner; as a former 411 club boy, Ronald was one of the good livestock feeders, fattening steers and lambs for the Wheat League, Pacific International, and county fair shows. ten years. This cut ,back has been due to improve efficiency in poultry breeding, feeding, man agement, and marketing. It Is anticipated that improvement along these lines will continue. For those ranchers who attend ed the Round-Up Polled Here ford sale at Pendleton on Tues day of this week and did not buy a bull, we would like to re mind them of another bull sale which will be held on December 2. This sale Is the mldco pure bred Association's sale which has been changed from Moro to The Dalles this year. The 75 Here fords, 7 Shorthorns and 8 Angus bull consignments will make this the biggest sale to- be held In the state. All bulls have been sifted at the ranch and some outstanding prospects are to be offered". The show and sale will be held the same day with the show starting at 9 a m; the sale at 1:30 p m. It will be held In the Seufert building at The Dalles. From the files of the Gazette-Times November IS, 1928 Bert Sigsbee, manager of the Star Theater, and for many years our local photographer, is com bining the two lines by invest ing in a movie camera and pic turing home srenes for the screen. Among the week's leading so cial events was a charming din ner party at the country home of Mr and Mrs Ralph I Thom son Monday evening. Floyd Adams is installing a new radio. A large number of Morrow county people attended the Pa cific International Livestock ex position in Portland last week, among them being R A Thomp son, Mr and Mrs C W McNamer, T J O'Brien, Ed Neill, Ralph Justus, Jack Hynd, R W Smead, P M Gemmell, Joe Kenny, Garnet Barratt, Joe and Jerry Brosnan, and Harold Eskelson, Ruth Din ges and Doris Wilcox, the club stock Judging team of Lexington. Evidently the high cost of feeder calves is not a worry to our young feeders. Over 40 steers on feed by 4-H club members this year this brings the number to the greatest yet fed out by members. Dairymen need complete rec ords of breeding, calving and dates to turn cows dry. An eight week dry period Is very neces sary to highest production. Cows with four weeks dry period pro duce 501 pounds more milk than those with 3 weeks or less. Cows with an eight week dry period increase production by 12 72 pounds of milk. A twelve month calving interval results In more production than a ten month interval. STAR THEATER Thurs.. FrL Sat.. Not. 13. 14, 15 Dav of The Badman . Fred MacMurrav. Joan Wei don, John Erlcson.

FAMILY At a recent fall outlook meet ing on poultry, Noel Bennlon, extension poultry specialist, Ore gon State college, stated that eggs and chicken prices at the present time are the lowest they have been In 20 years. While this Is good for consumers, it is not so good for the producer. For example, in 1947 the average; factory worker In the U S had to work 32 minutes to buy a dozen eggs, 23 minutes to buy a pound of chicken and 29 minutes to buy a pound of turkey, compared with only 16 minutes for a dozen eggs, 13 minutes for a pound of chicken and 12 minutes for a pound of turkey in 1957. This moans the time spent on the job to buy a dozen eggs or a pound of poultry meat has been re duced over 50 during the past Word was received from the state veteranarlans office Wed nesday of this week that a vet era narian would be sent to the county next week to assist with testing of cattle herds for Bangs. Recently we announced In this column, and mailed a letter to all cattlemen advising them of the recertlficatlon program which means a test of all cattle by January 13, 1959. Those who do not volunteer to test their herds soon will be contacted and asked for a testing date. First contacts will be made with those who have not tested within the last year; have not cleaned up an Infected herd or have added Long Distance Nation-Wide Moving Service Mayflower Agents Padded Vans Penland Bros.

A recent record released by. one of our top dairy states on 5279 dairy herd improvement as. sociation records gives informa tion on the weight, age .and pro duction related to breeding dairy heifers. 1. They found that one delayed calving of normal sized heifers Is not economical. 2. Heavier heifers had no advan tage over the lighter heifers of near normal size. 3. There was 75 pounds less milk per month of age and 200 pounds less milk per hundred pound difference In weight at first calving. 4. Dairy heifers should be bred as early as possible consistant with size. The results of these records might an swer some of the questions that have been asked concerning breeding of dairy heifers. I Recently this office received an elaborate booklet dedicated to the "Little Beetle that K O'd Klamath weed." The booklet was published by the University of California as a part of a dedi cation program to a Klamath weed beetle monument at Roh ner Park, Fortuna, California. Quite an impressive program was arranged in dedicating a placque to this beetle which saved the agricultural In Humboldt County, ; California. An impressive story Is told in the booklet beginning with a planned program started in 1923 to attempt to control the ' fastly spreading Klamath weed HIGH SCHOOL POLLS The high school pre-election poll is in. For keeps. The unmatched polling idea achieved new model status last week after being tested state wide during the general election campaign by the Capital Journ al, Salem. When returns of the election were all In the poll matched re ported figures 88 percent. Six days before election day the Salem newspaper's figures rous ed political workers In both par ties, elating the GOP camp Into a "run 'em down" finish, and skidded the Bourbons to running scared desperation. This was the point when the 11th hour assault was made by Senator Morse on candidate Mark Hatfield. It boomed in the wrong direction, all over Gov Holmes who, ac cording to earlier polls, had al ready lost his bid for re-election. If future high school pre-election polls are as accurate as those made by the Capital Journ al this year, or nearly as ac curate, they will make more than Just the curious happy. Co sponsored by the churches, in the" good cause of interest In in that county. It was not until the early 1940's when the beetle was brought in as a last resort. While Klamath or goat weed has not become such a big problem in Morrow county, this beetle has been very effective here In hold ing down a severe infestation of the weed. After reading the pro blems of the ranchers In Humboldt- county until this beetle came along we feel fortunate that someone found out about this method of control before our infestation became so severe. ! 2 HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday.
