This reverses an earlier decision by the Walla Walla Superior Court on all counts. The decision is of Interest in Oregon because of the number of self-help commissions created nnitcr Orpeon law. Doints out Paul T. Rowell, agricultural de velopment chief of the state de partment of agriculture at Salem. The Washington opinion states that the producer assessment Is an excise rather than a property tax, levied only upon the com mercial producer and measured solely by the quantity produced and sold. The neighboring Supreme Court went on to state: 'The nrntwtlon of a laree industry constituting one of the great sources of the state's wealth and therefore directly or indirec tly affecting the weuare oi so great, a portion of the popula tion of the state is aueciea io such an extent by public in terest as to be within the police power of the sovereign." The decision means that exist in f-ommoditv commissions in Washington can continue to do VincinoKR as normal and new commissions can be formed with assurance of permanency irom a legal standpoint, Rowell points out. " h adds that while Oregon's commodity commission act is not identical with the Washington agricultural enabling act, the two are quite similar. Thus the Washington decision gives Ore gon commodity commissions some assurance or ireeaom irom a successful legal attack against their right to operate, subject to the wishes of producers or me commodity involved, Rowell de clares. - The Supreme Court decision stems from a case filed against h.

This problem is quite general through much of the Elghtmlle and Gooseberry communities. be made In early spring with sprays containing many of the trace chemicals In combination with above named fertilizers as well as alone. Ammonium nitrate sulphate, sulphur and phosphorus wer ap plied at different rates on the chemical summerfallow plots at the Lex I net on airport to deter mine and compare affects of fer tilizer on a regular fallow ana chemical summerfallow. There have been some Indications that nitrogen levels may be different between two methods of sum merfallow. The Plots were estab lished In an attempt to determine these differences. We have had a number of In quiries at the office asking about cattle from the drougtny areas of the midwest which might be anlrf at distress sales. Many are also wondering about fall range grazing conditions as they nave n Important bearing on tha fall feeder cattle market Western observers now rate range feed prospects mostly fair over much of the west, with poor condit ions in the eastern half of Mon tana, southeastern Idaho, and In most of Nevada and Utah. But fall grazing prospects in the Im portant Central and Southern Great Plains are rated mostly good to very good. There have been no large scale distress sales reported in any of the drouthy areas. Many cow herd owners are culling rigidly the older she stock but there Is little evidence ih.li n i.-it.l' tt.luMii are being planned.

The big offender Is -link" whet which is the term used for any treated wheat. One kernal In a truck -load Is enough to condemn it for food purposes. Grain buy era have no alternative than to turn this down or buy It for feed purposes as Purs Food and Drug will tolerate none what soever. Farmers are urged to take precautionary measures at seed treating time and be sure that elevators and gralnery space where wheat will be handled is thoroughly cleaned after treat ing so there will be no pink wheat left for contamination. Cliff told us that most of the cases he had experienced could be traced back to a leak In a seed bin adjacent to or over other stored wheat or through equip ment used to handle treated and untreated wheat alike. 1961 Wheat League Writing Contest Set leadline for the second an nual high nhool writing con test, sponsored by the Oregon Wheat Growers league, is Oc tober 31. the wheat league offl reminded thia week.
