Plans Ready For
Annual Meeting
Of Wheatgrowers
What can the Oregon Wheat
Growers League do to improve
the public relations of agricul
ture? Should there be changes
In the principles of the Soil
Bank program? Should the wo
men's committee, domestic wheat
utilization be continued? Should
our wheat growers back the new
ly proposed wheat stabilization
program? Do we want higher
state income taxes, a retail sales
tax or other means of raising
needed state revenue? These are
only a few of the scores of ques
tions which will be considered
at the annual meeting of the
Morrow County Wheat Growers
Association scheduled to be held
at the Lexington grange hall on
Tuesday, November 10.
The meeting is scheduled to
begin at 9:30 a m reports N C

Questions and problems as
pertinent as these were discus
sed recently at a meeting at
tended by all chairmen of stand
ing committees, and officers of
the Morrow County Wheat Grow
ers Association sponsored rec
ently by the Oregon Wheat
growers League. Reports on work
of the league and the National
Association of Wheatgrowers

meetings a success this fall.

utilization, youth activities, pro

while door prizes for the lucky

-Cats Included!
Fuzzy Wuzzy was the cat
that's the way Pixie, the yellow
striped torn cat came out when
his mistress, Mrs Bill Sowell,
washed him, unintentionally, in
their automatic washer recent-
Seems Pixie climbed in the
washer and went to sleep on
a pile of clothes waiting to be
washed. Mrs Sowell closed the
door, turned on the water and
started the machine. The first
inkling she had that Pixie was
setting a shampoo was when
she saw his yellow tail going
round and round in the mach
ine. She gave a scream and her
husband came to the rescue
and now Pixie is the cleanest
cat in Morrow county.
