On Friday, August 2, 1940, “Jack-
*ie” Walker, four year old son of Mr.
and Mrs. Lindsie Walker, Route 1,
Springfield, was electrocuted when he
contacted an electrically energized
wire used as a fence around the pro
perty of A1 Campbell, a neighbor.
An investigation of the circum
stances disclosed the fact that the
death of this boy was a needless sac
rifice of life on the altar of economy.
While it is true that this is the first
death of a person in Oregon from a
homemade electric fence, numerous
horses and cattle have been killed
with these devices and they would
probably have been fatal to human
beings had they contacted the fence
under proper conditions.
The device used to energize the
fence was built for Mr. Campbell by
a neighbor’s boy who constructed it
in accordance with a description and
diagram published in a nationally
distributed magazine “Mechanix Il
lustrated”. It did not comply in any
respect with recognized safety stand
ards. The current was continuous
and had a value twice that known to
be safe. This accident will serve to
indicate the truth of our oft repeat
ed statement that it is impossible for
the layman to build a safe electric
fence unit. This is a job for a
trained engineer and even he must
have electrical laboratory testing
equipment before he can construct a
device having proper safety factors.
When the electric fence first ap
peared in 193 6 the hazards to life
were immediately recognized and the

CLOSING DATE TO
JE SET ON SEED
PURCHASES BY AAA
A closing date for the purchase of
Australian winter pea or hairy vetch
seed from growers by the Commodi
ty Credit corporation, is expected to
be announced soon by the AAA of
fice at Corvallis. The closing date
will probably be set some time be
tween the first and fifteenth of Sep
tember in order to allow for shipment
of the reed to the southern states in
time for fall planting, says N. C.
Donaldson, state executive officer.
Movement of seed from Oregon to
the southern states has been rapid,
with upwards of 100 carloads hav
ing been shipped by the first week in
August. Orders were being received
by the Corvallis office at the rate of
almost 20 carloads a day, and these
were being distributed among the
various Oregon dealers, who are do
ing most of the cleaning and resack
ing for the government agency.
Practically all the eligible Aus
trian winter pea seed has been sold
through the Commodity Credit cor
poration at the established rate of
3 cents a pound. Prices on hairy
vetch seed, on the other hand, have
stayed enough higher than the 7 *4 -
cent guaranteed price, so that pri
vate dealers have been able to handle
most of the crop. Growers have been
getting from 7 % cents to 7 % cents
a pound for their vetch seed.
Reports from throughout the Wil
lamette valley indicate that the fed
eral purchase program is being car
ried out with a minimum of delay and
red tape. Growers have been paid
for their seed in cash within three or
four days of delivery, and seed deal
ers have been experiencing less diffi
culty than usual in obtaining an ade
quate supply of freight cars for the
movement of the crop.
The program in the southern cot
ton belt is also moving along well, as
indicated by the steady flow of or
ders which are cleared through the
Corvallis office. The grant-of-aid
program there allows AAA coopera
tors who are short of cash to obtain
seed now which will be paid for
through deductions from next year’s
benefit checks.

44QPIRIT” was the subject of the
0
Lesson - Sermon In all
Churches of Christ, Scientist, on
Sunday, Augu.t 11.
The Golden Text was, "Teach me
to do thy will; for thou art my God;
thy spirit Is good; lead me into
the land of uprightness" (Ps. 143:-
10).
Among the citations which com
prised the Lesson-Sermon was the
following from the Bible: "Touch
ing the Almighty, we cannot find
him out: he is excellent In power,
and in judgment, and In plenty of
Justice: he will not afflict” (Job.
37:23).
The Lesson-Sermon also Included
the following correlative passages
from ths Chrhtlan Science text
book, “Science and Health with Key
to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker
Eddy: “As God Himself is good and
Is Spirit, goodness and spirituality
must be immortal. Their opposites,
evil and matter, are mortal error,
and error has no creator. If good
ness and spirituality are real, evil
and materiality are unreal and can
not be the outcome of an infinite
God, good" (p. 277).
