Arlington Gets Hot Under the Collar
The folium In letter rlveJ 11. U J
by the CaiftteTlmet r'" ,n
full:
Mr Robert PrnUml
Editor and Publisher
Heppner Carctte-Timea
Heppner, Oregon ... .
Dear Sir: (Thlt would be "Dear Bub" If thlt wa
a friendly letter.??)
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".
Yours very truly,
THE ARLINGTON CHAMBER OF COM
MERCE COMMITTEE TO DENOUNCE

move that thermometer or quit complaining about
what It says. Who am l to question im- viv..,
of a thermometer which hangs on the wall of
a respected bi slness house In your fine, hot city.
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.

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

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.

You've probably thought of every

check your automobile insurance just to make sure
