HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday, November 1, 1962 .FABM NEWS County Agent's Office Early Seeding Calls for Fall Spraying Needs By N. C. ANDERSON With many acres of early seeded wheat now show i n g heavy Infestations of broad leat weeds there have been many in quires about spraying this fall. Weed control specialists from OSU say that there are condi tions when fall spraying would be recommended. Several Colum bia Basin counties have been doing a considerable amount of fall spraying in the past, espe cially Sherman county. The same rules apply when spraying in the fall as in the spring. Fall seeded grain should not be sprayed if it has not reached the three leaf stage of growth. One-half to three fourths pounds of 2,4-D add per acre should be used. Some research carried out In Sherman county showed better weed control with low volatile and isopropyl ester applied at three-fourths pounds than with amine at the same rate. The same trials indicated more in jury to the seeded grain with Isopropyl ester than with low volatile ester or amine. There is no proven chemical that can be recommended for the selective control of cheat from wheat at this time. Records Point Out Varied Cow Productivity The productive ability of cows varies a great deal as has been pointed out by records kept on beef-cattle here in Morrow county as well as many areas of the state. Replacement heifer calves should lie kept from cows that have the highest producti vity, both in terms of pounds of calf at weaning time (adjusted to 205 days) and the conforma tion of these calves. When these two elements are combined on a 50-50 basis normally the larger heifers will come out on top. There have been instances where weaning weights of calves of the irmli nrwl a P will VfirV 3S much as 200 lbs. These large heifers may not always turn out to be the best producing cows, however, the odds are In their favor.

S. 19G2 BANKRUPT TECHNIQUE Little good can be said for the technique being followed by both opposition candidates to incumbents in congress, Sena tors Wayne L. Morse and Rep. Al LUlman. The "big lie" technique is not essentially an honest and frank approach to the voters. Mr. Unaiuier, trying desper ately to get to be a senator, calls Morse a "do-nothing" and one who lias a "performance gap. In reality, Morse is a 2-1-tuuir-a-day senator. The issue is not that he is doing nothing for his nation or for Oregon but that the COP and Unander and his backers" don't like what Morse is doing. They've never liked him since he left the reactionaries and became a liberal. They've never liked him since the day lie became an advocate of sound resource development against giveaways and monopoly. If one lias a "deal" you never like a man you can't deal with. Morse backers are really proud of the man who won't deal away the public interest. Why doesn't Unander argue the resource issue? Why doesn't lie attack Morse's espousal of Mason dam and other sound Oregon pro jects? Why does he resort to the technique o attempting to lead people into believing that Morse has no issues, does noth ing and is nothing? Kxcept that it you are on the wrong side nf issues leading voters on a snipe hunt is better. Mr. Chandler, who barely eked out a majority in his home town ot Bend against an utter stran ger in the primary, is trying des perately to unseat Congressman Ullman, also by a weird tech nique of misinformation, pre sumably to cover up his own lack of stature and poverty of position upon issues. For ex ample, at Ontario Chandler is quoted by the Argus as saying: "Unlike my opponent I do not want to serve on an Urban Af fairs committee, the committee for Health, F.dueation and Wel fare and some of the other com mittees which would permit me to trail off to Europe." This, we emphasize, is what Chandler said, in line with his major campaign theme that "My opponent's issues have been phony!" Let us examine the Chandler statement on committees. It is a deliberate falsification of the facts in an effort to make out that "Ullman misrepresents his district." Ullman in fact has a major interest in agriculture and won immediately his post on In terior and Insular affairs, the all-important committee to the West. Does this sound like Ull man sought an urban or labor or welfare committee as used by Chandler in his malicious misrepresentation of the con gressman? Futhermore, Ullman, while holding his influence on this vital interior committee as evidenced by his victory on The Dalles, Crooked River, Bully Creek. Mason Dam and other projects (against opposition or men like Chandler) graduated in the House from the Interior committee to the vital national Ways and Means Committee. Did Chandler in his attack and mis representation give Ullman cred it for that stature? Why not, except to further his big lie technique of misleading the voter if lie can. As a member of the Ways and Means, the congressman has more influence for his district on all commit tees. With Chandler's vote method, with his attack on Mason and similar projects, with his lack of backing by his own home town partisans, little wonder he gets a cool reception, little won der his committee people reflect little enthusiasm. But why do we in Oregon have to be subjected to campaigns like this? Wayne Morse and All Ullman are working for you. Al Ullman gives this district a voice of prestige and influence in our nation's capital. Vote for men of courage and honesty. N ote on the issues which are clear cut.

County Agents Joe Hay and Esther Kimmis discussed the need for more 4-H leaders. I hey inriinntort that leaders in foods, clothing, woodworking, rifle, gar den and many other projects are still needed. They asked for sug gestions from leaders ana par ents in each community of. names of persons who might be interested in leading one of these 4-H clubs.
