We hereby solemnly, vigorously and vehenv cnlly (which the dictionary says meant violently and furiously) protest the publication In your July 21t Issue that Arlington, quote: -probably laid rUlm to the dubious honor cf being the not test KtHit In the state Sunday when an unofficial 123 decreet was chalked up." End quote and Clad to do it ! ! ! Dubious -honor" Indeed ! ! I Who In their right senses would lay claim to tuch a distinction even If It was true? ? No doubt it was a non resident because all residents In Arlington are In their rich! senses. Unofficial ! ! Not only wat It L'Nofflclal but UNcontclonable as wclL ill you don't already know, that means "going be yond customary or reasonable bounds; not gov erned by sense or prudence.) We demand to know the source of your In formation. If it can be called that, so we will be In a position to take retaliatory action. U we want. We will consider suing for damages, slander, defamation and everything else a good shyster lawyer can think of. And if you fail to divulge where you got the "Information", then we will sue YOU ! ! To set the record straight, the OFFICIAL temperature the day above mentioned was ONLY 109 degrees. If you want to doubt that, OK, go ahead, but we warn you, the meteorological records In this town are kept by a State Police Officer. ,, We note you said "probably" laid claim, etc. That Is all that saved you from prompt retaliatory action. But at best It was a voluntary verbal Inexactitude. (Those three words can be spelled with one of three letters If you wish.) And It may help If you will publish In your next issue a retraction in as prominent a place as you used In printing the above misguided "information".

Here In Heppner we believe our thermometers, and as proof, I want to assure you that our Cham ber of Commerce committee on thermometers has never had occasion to question the reading on a single one of them. Of course they don't register as high as do yours. As to your threat to take retaliatory action, I will make no comment until there has been time to study at length some of the words used In your letter, but if some of them mean what I think they might It may be necessary for me to obtain the services of a competent counsellor of my own. Bv the way, if any of your fine citizens would like to cool off a little bit, we would wel come them In Heppner at any time. It has never gotten over 103 here this summer. From The County Agent's Office By JOE HAY It Is Interesting to look over the preliminary review of the farm census just completed and compare it to the census of five years ago. By looking through It we can surely see that there Is a revolution occurring in ag riculture. While the number of farms In Morrow county has never been great due to our type of agriculture in comparison with some other counties in the state, they have continued to be reduced over the past number of years. The largest decrease occurred during the past five years between the 1954 and 1959 census. While the definition of a farm has changed somewhat this year In comparison to five years ago, this change In defi nition resulted in a reduction of only thirteen farms while the number has dropped from 463 in 1951 to 386 in 1959. While acres in farms have Increased during the past five years by only 31,000 acres the average size of farm is now 2,875.4 acres compared to 2,102.6 in 1954. Of these farms those falling in the 1 to 9 acre bracket have decreased from 73 in 1954 to 27 in 1959. In fact, the big decrease has come in the small farms under 30 acres. Those with 500 or more acres have decreased by only 1. There were 172 producing cash grain, 25 vegetable farms, 10 poultry farms, G dairy farms, 61 live stock farms other than poultry and dairy, 49 of these being beef ranches, 17 general farms and 83 miscellaneous and unclassified farms. Of these farms, 104 had sales of $10,000 or more; 69 with sales between $20,000 and $-10,000 sales between $20,000 and $10,000; 40 with sales of $10,000 to $20,000; 31 with sales of $5,000 to $10,000; 31 with sales of $2500 to $5,000 and 17 with sales of A tftutfi TO - yfYi IT) srews MoT fisWEi Many things can not be teen.

Twenty-six were part retirement with the operaior oo years old or older ana naa saies in the $50 to $2500 bracket. While farm operators continue to decrease the productive ca pacity of each farmer has in creased by leaps and bounds. Much of this came about from one of the greatest technological advances ever witnessed by man kind during and immediately following World War II. This was due largely to labor saving equipment, better crops, better livestock, fertilizers, chemicals, antibiotics, feed additives, and a host of similar developments. This has resulted in a situation where we find that there will to be as manv farmers required to feed and clothe our nation as in the past, inis is quite disturbing to those of us who are close to agriculture, however, we know that these fewer farmers are all that will be needed to produce considerably more than was produced 25 years ago. What's ahead in the next five years? My guess is that we have made the greatest adjust ments and that they will slow down some In the period just ahead.
