Farm-City Banquet Wears Stewart Bledsoe Place' (Also see story page 8) Russia is a "very sad place," In the words of Stewart Bled soe of Ellensburg, Wn who vis ited the Soviet Union on a People-to-People tour last year. He reported on his trip via col ored slides and candid speech at the annual Farm-City banquet in the multipurpose room of Heppner High school Saturday night with a crowd of 203 present.

Pointing out that he was shown the best that the Russians had to offer in agriculture, Bled soe showed slides of diseased livestock, crop failures and farms without electricity. The power lines serve the cities but bypass the farms. 'There is little use for it on the farms because they have nothing to use with it," he said.
