THE W -Mm? HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, November 1, 1962 Sec. 2 4 pages Trip to County Gives Reporters Insight on Problems of Ranchers A two-day stay in the country doesn't give a visitor a chance to look at all the problems or come up with all the answers, but a recent trip into Morrow county on the part of four Port land area newsmen did provide them with the knowledge that the farmer in Oregon is an im portant individual in the state's overall economic program. Sponsored by the Oregon Wheat Growers league, this sec ond annual Editors' Trip was participated in by staff members of the Oregonian, Oregon Jour nal, Portland Reporter and Oreg on City Enterprise-Courier. In something less than 60 hours, Portland area newsmen visited farm families, lived with four of them and learned some thing of the problems which face wheat growers one year after another. Hosts to the "visiting firemen" were Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Tur ner, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Carlson, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Anderson and Mr. and Mrs. Bob Jepsen. All live in the Ione-Heppner area or Morrow county. Farmers opened up their homes and their account books to Jalmar Johnson, Oregonian! Don Sterling. Oregon Journal; Robert Holley, Portland Reporter, and Jack Fenton, Oregon City Enterprise-Courier. Wheat growers were deluged with questions concerning costs ot operation, subsidies, parities, sales program, conservation ef forts and marginal costs which often spell the difference be tween a good year and a poor one. This second annual trip found newsmen participati n g in a water conservation meeting and other activities in the Heppner lone area. Newsmen learned that size has something to do with monet ary returns. They discove red that mere size without additional returns may spell a shortcut to the poor farm. Newsmen learned that a dif ference of 25 miles produces some differences in soil content, per acre yield and erosion chal lenges. They learned that Mor row county, to a certain extent, has problems which are not in evidence in other wheat growinp counties of the state. They also were told that other counties have particular problems which do not affect those living in Mor row county. II some residents ot metropoli tan centers in Oregon still be lieve that golden colored grain Bob Chandler gets my vote for Congress. Here's why: LaVernc Van Marter, Jr. HEPPNER, OREGON "Here's a man you can count on an intellectually hon est, self-sufficient man dedicated to the service of all East ern Oregon. As editor of his daily newspaper, Bob Chandler has long measured the pulse of the people here. He knows what makes our economy tick. He knows the needs and the opportunities of our area. And he's fully prepared to speak out for us in Congress. Bob Chandler deserves your vote of confidence, tool" spells quick riches for farmers, take it from the four Portland newsmen who made the trip into Morrow county "it just ain't so." They learned something of the farmer, his goals, his chances of success and the problems he faces to "stay alive." In turn, they also found out that farm dollars are important dollars to the overall economy of the entire state. Metropolitan newsmen learned that Morrow county farmers as do their counter-parts in other wheat erowina areas know something of foreien sales, the value of a sound promotion pro gram to assist iarmers attain their goals and, in general, they are as much a business man as is the president of a bank. Putting the shoe on the other foot, farmers learned something of the challenges and trials which face editorial workers. They learned that all facets of business efforts and promotion in Oregon are important to the industrial and aericu 1 1 u r a 1 growth of the state. In brief, each learned to re spect the other. Mutual respect and confidence SDells statewide stability. It must be attained and retained to get tne jod done. Pd. Adv.. Chandler for Congress Comm.. V. Yatej, Sec, Box 991.
