Single Copy 10 Cent Something For Nothing? One of the more enduring and damaging illusions of the time Is that federal aid to states and cities and other local governments is some how "free" that it really provides us with some thing for nothing. Economists Fred G Clark and Richard Stan ton Rimaniczy of the American Economic Foun dation clearly and simply show the hole in that kind of reasoning by citing two prime principles of economics. First: "Nothing in our economic life comes from nowhere or goes nowhere; there is always a source and a destination." Second: "Govern ment cannot give the people anything that it does not take from them." To supply federal aid, the government first takes away money that otherwise could have been spent directly at the local level, and then gives part of it back. A certain and substantial percentage disappears In the process. Indeed, ac cording to Messrs. Clark and Rimanoczy, only one state, Mississippi, gets as much back from the federal government as it puts in. So federal aid, far from being "free", is as expensive a device as we could think up. (Industrial News Review) From The County Agent's Office By NELS ANDERSON On Tuesday of this week a three row windbreak was estab lished at the Gene Rietmann farm in the north lone area. The windbreak planting will protect the farmstead. It Is composed of a row of caragana on the wind ward side, a row of Russian Olive and one of Austrian pine. Much interest has been shown this spring in windbreaks for farm stead protection and beautifica tion. In addition to the Rietmann farm, complete windbreak plant ings have been made at the Paul Brown, Howard Pettyjohn and Roland Bergstrom farms. Last week Jack Giavey, upper Rhea Creek ranchers ordered 3000 Ponderosa pine seedlings to be used in reforestation of land at the Hamilton ranch. Members of the Morrow County Livestock Growers Association disease control committee have recently had word from Dr A G Biegle at Salem, with author ization or retcsting of any herd of cattle In Morrow county, or in areas adjacent that may be grazing in Morrow county, that in the opinion of the livestock disease control committee should be tested or retested, as a part of the modified certified Brucel losis free area here. The commit tee would appreciate being In formed of any herds that have not recently been tested that there may be a question of in fection spreading to tested herds or protecting the rancher from further infection In his own herd. Cliff Conrad, former Morrow county agent, now state Institu tions farm administrator, sent word of the complete dispersion auction sale of 53 purebred and Grade Holstelns from the Eastern Oregon State Hospital at Pen dleton. Thirty-five heifers and 18 cows will be sold at the state fairgrounds in Salem beginning at noon Saturday, May 2. The heifers would make exceptionally fine 411 club dairy projects.

From a recent Oregon State College grain and hay market review It is reported that nearly a tenth of the winter wheat acreage seeded last fall has been abandoned and diverted to uses other than for grain production. Of the 4.1 million acres so dis posed, 2ft million are in Kan sas, Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado ana New Mexico. Last year, less man b70 of the total acreage was lost or diverted to other uses. The larger acreage abandoned this year is due to winter kill ana weaK stands due to poor moisture conditions in some areas. It Is also reported that California's 1959 barley crop Is In poor condition at this time. Yields are expected to be down due to dry, warm, windy weather. My article of a couple of weeks ago concerning the timeliness of spraying for gooseberry and cur rent maggots brought a deluge of calls to the office on questions concerning the control methods. One of the big problems was the availability locally of Methox lchlor for treatment. For those who have not found Methosl- chlor readily available, 50 wettable DDT as a spray or a DDT dust will work as well. There is still time for appllca- tion which should bo follow up at 10 day Intervals dur ing the bloom and early fruit setting stages. Chats With Your Home Agent By ESTHER KIRMIS 'Turkey, in the Straw" is still going through my head! Do you wonder why? On Monday even ing I went out to the Rhea Creek Grange hall to rehearse the Vir ginia Reel" with the women of the Rhea Creek extension unit They are going to perform the folk dance in the pageant, "Yes teryears of Morrow" at the Home makers Festival to be held in lone on April 30. Mrs Tom Wilson, Heppner. was also on hand to do the official "fiddling". I'm afraid we gave her quite a workout as she com plained that her fingers were surely limbered up before we were through. I had been a supper guest at the home of Mr and Mrs Walter Wright Just before the rehearsal. After that wonderful huckleberry pie Mrs Wright served me, I needed some violent exercise to put me into shape. Believe me, the reeling did it! Our county committee of the extension units, also met on Monday at the home of Mrs Bryce Keene, lone. Going over the hills from Lexington to the Rhea Creek valley gave me a new glimpse of Morrow county, I can see why "Lum Rhea" Morrow county pioneer settled where he did. It's a fascinating and protected valley. Last minute details for the Homemakers Festival were dis cussed at this meeting. Plans were laid to entertain the alumni council members at the home of Mrs Jasper Myers, Pine City, on May 25. Mrs Milton Biegel, Irri- gon, had originally planned to entertain these ladies at her home on the Columbia river, but she has had a bout with virus pneumonia and is unable to entertain. Mrs Violet Shepherd, Wheeler county extension agent, will be guest speaker at this entertain ment. Violet is a former IFYE (International Farm Youth Ex- HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday.
