Elsenwe Other Editors Think- NONE OF IT Efforts of the Morrow county court to get back from the federal government lands that are within tho Boardman bombing range have boon frustrating. But they must be pursued. The court has been fighting the battle with little help. In recent days It has had an offer of substantial help. Gov Mark Hatfield has asked members of the Oregon congressional delegation to make a concerted effort to get the federal government to relinquish the bombing range acreage. The governor, In making his request, pointed out the Importance of the land, because of Its location near the Columbia River, as a site for Industry. This offer of aid from the governor and en listment of the forces of our U S senators and representatives should be a signal for the Mor row county court to take a cinch In Its bolt and come out swinging again.

Several years ego while carry ing out a five year research pro gram In the use of fertilizers on dry land wheat, one of the parts of this program was securing a monthly rainfall record from co operators in the various com munities. To secure this record official rain guages were made available to these operators In order that we could have an accurate record. Unfortunately at the end of the research project rain gauges were picked up and rnrvirHa discontinued. A number of the cooperators purchased rain gauges of the same Type nu nnt nil t kppDlnir rainfall rec ords. One of the cooperators who has been faithful In keeping us infnrmnd monthlv of rainfall at his farm is Don Heliker, lone. We were Interested In a 11 year rec he mailed to the of fice.

It was never quite as available as beef and pork and I always felt It wasn't as tasty. But a woman can change her mind and here's proof.
