It seemed cold er than It was due to the snow scene In Tom Flynn's display window, and Val Truax and Seth Bullls being at large without their hats. a , Orchardlsts have started think ing about next summer's Irriga tion water, and lifting their eyes unto the hills, to see If there is any snow. Ed Kubll, the Applegate cow man, lost his wallet last week. It contained the price of a rib teak in a war boom beanery. ' v A Willamette valley combat flyer got home from the South Pacific last week, and an A card driver on a country road proved too much for him. e F.

It not only brings in the most money, that money stays here and is distributed here, it is money, in other words, that contributes most to the permanent prosperity and well-being of this community. JUST imagine, for the sake of argument, a new and strange pest should appear in an orchard of Southern Oregon, and following the established pro cedure it should be sent to Oregon State College, for examination, research and advice. Because of conditions now existing at the college, and particularly in the department of horticulture, however, there would necessarily be a long delay before the result of the examination could be known, the nature of the beast, and the most effective treat ment determined. Let it be further imagined that this new and strange insect proved to be more virulent and of more rapid growth than anything before known and because of this delay, the orchards of Southern Oregon were devastated by this insidious insect, the usual fruit crop say cut in half. How much money would be lost to this community and the state? For one season it would run into seven figures, and before the damage could be controlled and recovered, it might well run into eight. IN other words how much cold cash is it worth to the people of this community and of every other fruit district in the state, to have an adequately-manned, properly financed, department of horticulture at Cor-vallis? "THE answer is it is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars every year, and might well run into the millions, in a short period. And yet how much money is contributed by this. state to maintain this department at Oregon State? The answer is $13,777, per year given by the average resident of Oregon, to protect an industry that produces an annual income of over $100,000,000! ' Figure that out. And figures don't lie, but liars sometimes figure. So any member of the State Legislature who claims an adequate department of horticulture can be maintained in Oregon for this sum or anything ike it or that it should not be tripled at once, and at least multiplied ten times that four-word classification. It just ISN'T true! And the present situation in this department at Corvallis today proves it isn't true. For while the work that is being done there imaginable, and the personnel also, the depart ment needs at least twice as many on its staff as it nas, and needs them not but needs them NOW, to research, that should be done NOW. So immediate financial for the sake of the department, or the college, but lor tne sake or this state and all the people in it. For from the standpoint of bringing outside cash, into the state, keeping it here, and FUTURE GROWTH, the fruit industry is the most lnauBiry jun tne state. . BUT here is a tip, TTmtaeta IVia 4V,. 71 wis nuib men uj. hub ttnu uuier oecuons 01 the state get up on their hind legs and DEMAND relief from this coming session of the Legislature and this financial relief from this coming session of the Legislature and particularly from the Ways and Means committees, nothing, at least nothing ade quate, will be done. Old General Inertia and Gen eral Inaction will hold the years, as they have for the moneys for the college and other institutions of higher learning in this state the Legislature OKEHS, can be appropriated and used ! War Commentators , There are many reasons whv this German offen sive took the American people so entirely by surprise. une oi mem can De cnartrea Mr. Kirke L. Simpson, known as "Associated Press war Analyst", is a typical example. Five days after the German offensive Mr. Simpson declared: " . ? ,,s .now reasonably clear the German offensive has ' failed In Its main purpose, and at a costly expenditure in men and materials. ' . A few days later: .. "It may well develop as General Elsenhower stressed that this original German success may be turned into Ger many s greatest military defeat The force of the thrust ' has apparently collapsed." And apain, January 3rd : "That the enemy has the means to mount a new major offensive as front-line advices suggest seems highly doubt ful, continued allied gains indicate a German retreat." . MOW that sort of thing of line, but a constant disposition to paint a rosier war picture uian the facts people, who aren't Naturally, the cumulative effect of this attitude has been to lull the American people into a sense of false security, and make them totally unprepared for the grim events of the past few weeks.
