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.
