It is a column written by Pat Goggins, publisher of the Western Livestock Journal.) It looks as though the industry is going to forced to fight fire with fire. Evidently the women of America are serious about boycotting meat for a while at least. The livestock industry is going to have a boycott by not selling it. This is not good for the long run because it builds up tonnage but maybe these women and their followers would learn a lesson if the meat counters were empty on purpose. This great land of America is the greatest place in the world to live. The average American household is the best fed, best clothed, most highly entertained household in the world. But they are spoiled. The average American housewife and the average American husband and the average American children are very spoiled; spoiled with all the good, nutritious food they want. Many of these young people, especially those under 35, have never seen very much of hard times. Things have been escalating over the past 30 years. They have seen for the most part, nothing but good times, lots of food and plenty of entertainment. Americans as a whole, do not know the difference between a '.'want" - and a "need". They want a nice car, maybe two of them and thev want a colored television, maybe two of them, they want carpeting in every room, they want a nice home in a good part of town, they want to go out two or three times a week to dine, they want annual vacations with pay and lakes. They want shorter working hours with more pay ana yes, for the most part, they want to start at the top. What about the needs? They need to eat and they need to be warm. That's about it. Of course, this might sound primitive. I wouldn't want it to be that way but really, the American people need so badly to set back and really thank the American agriculture, grain, livestock and crop producer for what he has done for them. He's produced more than any other society in the world: fresh eggs at the grocery store, beautifully cured bacon, lots of hams, beautifully displayed beef of all kinds, prepared foods of undisclosed nature and number, breakfast foods by the aisle, convenience items by the store full. Fresh fruits like you've never seen, most beautiful, seedless varieties with a highly palatable flavor. The nicest of fresh baked goods. What a job American agriculture and agri-business has done to bring American people the most wonderful array of food and convenience items enjoyed only by Americans. A fryer chicken in the store ready to go in Ireland is over a dollar a nound. Beef steak, and it's not as tender as ours, is over $3.00 a pound and the average Irish worker makes about 40 percent or less prices are double ours as are the the Baltic countries. I say to Mr. and Mrs. America, especially those who believe in boycotting food prices, you're not boycotting food prices, it's boycotting meat. You want more meat and we're happy that they do, but please Mr. and Mrs. America, sit in your easy cahir some evening and think and know the difference between a want and a need. You need protein, and you need beef. Go ahead with your boycotts. I doubt if you will like macaroni and cheese, hot cakes and flapjacks very long. I doubt if your husband coming home to sit down at the supper table is going to put up with waffles and macaroni and cheese very long. You go ahead with your boycotts and if you are extremely successful with it and you manage to break a lot of America s cattle feeders and down the line the producers, get used to eating macaroni, get used to eating wheat products, get used to eating hotcakes with sugar syrup because there will be no meat to buy. Irrlson Square Dancers Perform at 4-11 Leaders By FRANCES ROSE WILSON The Dancing Square Crowi 4 H Club performed during the lunch hour at the 4-H Leaders Forum in Pendleton at the BMCC Sat. Thirty-five mem bers of the square dance club of Irrigon and Boardman partici pated under the direction of their leader, Gladys Hobbs, of Irrigon. A meeting was held at the 4-H Building in Boardman on April 3 to discuss the possibility of County officiate using the 4-H building for a meeting place when needed in North Morrow Co. Zearl Gillespie, a Boardman City Council member, stated that he would rather see the building used than to see it deteriorate. The once active 4-H group of Boardman seldom uses the building. A 4-H Dog Obed ipnrp Huh meets occasionally. bildinB wouid still be available when not in use. There have been many times when a place was needed for planning meetings, Soil and Water Con servation, Juvenile, and other types of meetings. No decision was made but the matter will be brought to the attention of the City Council. The building ha; been a perplexity to both the City of Boardman and to North Morrow 4-H Council. Since it is a 4-H Building on Boardman City Park land no one has a clear title to the building. Visitors in Irrigon Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Hoover have returned to Irrigon after spending the past 3 winter months in Yuma, Ariz. They visited their daughter in Porterville, Calif, before re turning to their home. Mr. and Mrs. Milford Smittle of Elgin, visited at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Isom over the weekend. They also visited her son and family, Donald Leighton in Boardman. Visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Stephens on Sunday evening were Mr. and Mrs. Clarke Stephens of Uma tilla, Daisy Weatherford of Olex, her brother, Charles Irby of Seattle.

Forage Seminar Apr. 16 Dr. James Oldfield, Head, Department of Animal Science at Oregon State University will lead a group of six scientists and subject matter specialists to appear on the program of the Forage Production and Utiliza tion Seminar in Hermiston on April 16, reports John C. Hesketh, county extension agent. The all-day program will be held in Thompson Hall on the Umatilla County fairgrounds beginning at 9:30 a.m. Other OSU staff members participating in the forum session includes Dr. James Vomocil from the Department of Soils; Dr. Norman Goetze and Dr. Lester Vough, Depart ment of Farm Crops; Dr. Daniel Church, Depart, of Animal Science; and Dr. Gene Nelson, Depart, of Agricultural Economics. According the Hesketh, the seminar has been planned and arranged in cooperation with the Research and Extension Advisory Committee to focus attention upon a number of important agricultural produc tion considerations relating to irrigation development. Crop potentials and rotation require ments of developing irrigated areas have important implica tions to production patterns and the economy of the entire Columbia Basin, the agent said. Dr. Vomocil will begin the program with explanation of models he has prepared to typify most prevalent soil and irrigation conditions common in local developing areas. Goetze and Vough will discuss crops and rotation possibilities that merit consideration under con ditions applicable to each of the models. Oldfield and Church will focus attention upon possi ble alternatives for capitalizing upon crop production through livestock, and Dr. Nelson will lead discussion of economic considerations that are appli cable to the different production and utilization alternatives that are suggested by other speakers on the program. No advance registration to the seminar is required and all interested persons are encour aged to attend, the agent said. Further information may be obtained through members of the Research and Extension Advisory Committee or through Extension offices in Morrow, Gilliam and Umatilla Counties Land Bank Meet, Pasco Robin A. Fletcher, Manager of the Pendleton Federal Land Bank Association announced today that he and members of the Pendleton Federal Land Bank Association Board of Directors met in Pasco for a one-day session with officials of the Federal Land Bank of Spokane to discuss new lending authorities granted by Con gress.
