Theme for the rodeo parade, to le Saturday morning, August 23, is "Yesteryears of Morrow", m it should be real easy to hring back the "good ol' days" in some unique way. Businesses anil organizations should be getting busy on something that will contribute to the theme and get in the parade. Kids could have a real hey day, too, getting out grandma's or grandpa's oldtime garb and dressing up for the kid's part of the parade (and win some of that prize money, tool. With Morrow county's wealth of history, its yesteryears could be relived in me.ny, many interesting ways. Most everyone gets involved In fair and rodeo in some capacity, so this is truly a time of community cooperation everyone working together so that the county may put its best foot forward, antl at the same time have a good time. Emphasis at the fair is on youth activities, as it should be, but parents will be very well represented In open classes, community booths and many other activities. It is one occas ion where the family participates as a group and returns home with a deeper sense of pleasure the kind that comes ftom achieving and knowing their work has been well done. Families feel a close association of common interest and par ents get a thrill to see son or daughter pack off a blue rio bon, many times following a family tradition. It has been a long time since pioneer days, but fair time brings us back to the basics which were so important then and remain important today cooking, sewing, home making, raising livestock and agricultural products. No mat ter how these things are refined by modern technology they are still necessary for human livelihood and families share them. It is truly a family event, and it's great to be a part of a family. Support the fair by your attendance, too, and boost our Morrow county products and those who raise them. A Push for Irrigation It has been said many times before, and it will be said many times again. We say it today. Irrigation is the key to an expanded agricultural economy in Morrow county. Believing this to be the case, we offer today for our read ers a special section on irrigation its advantages, and its problems. We think the advantages far outweigh the problems, which can easily be solved. The prime example of what irrigation offers for the coun ty has to be the Nelson-Tucker ranch in the North end. When D. O. Nelson first started farming the land some years ago, it wasn't supposed to be fit for tillage. Today, it produces potatoes at a rate of 20 tons per acre, and wheat at 70 bushels per acre. And it's all because of irrigation. Sure, we all could do it with a 2,800-gallon-per-mimite well, but D. O. Nelson had the idea to drill the well in the first place. The water is there. And so is the land. What remains is to couple the two into a vital force that could double the county's wheat output, or make land capable of producing those spuds. We could go on antl on about the aspects of irrigation that make it so promising. But that's what the special section is for. We hope you'll take time to read it, and think about the future of agricul ture in Morrow county. believe we were in any danger from drowning. We were picked up by the Coast Guard Auxiliary before I the CO arrived on the scene. The action was observed by the I CO from the tower on Cape Dis appointment but their boats were all quite a ways away and the sea was running pretty heavy for speeding. I do enjoy the paper as I know most everyone there does also. Thanks, Ralph Taylor Spec 105 8103 N. E.
