Doesn't Live on Farm The senator owns 74 acres which he bought four'ye&s ago after renting the land some years. This wasoabout the time the Morses sold their ranch in Washington yheje fSrm maehinery he their three daughters grew,up before making homes of their own elsewhere. The senator and Mrs. Morse don't ive on the farm, they have an apart ment in the capital. Bift on the farm they have converted a milk house into a cozy week end cabin where they can eat or the senator can spend the night if he is nursing a sick animal. The farmhouse is oc cupied by his farm manager, Herman Hubbell, who has been with him four years.

Heis conducting an ex periment on feeding his hogs wheat flour and stale bake goods, obtained from local bakeries, and soft coal. They get no.com. Flour is half the price of corn, and Morse is convinced the hogs fattened faster on this new diet. Even so, he .conceded ruefully, he lost money on hog this fall Oregon Democrats Face Problem of Choosing E)ejeqa?es atth la& 0 Bt dick humphhey UPI Correspondent Salem - (UPD - One of the most pressing problems now being faced by Oregon Demo crats is how they willchoose the 52 delegates they may send to their national conven tion set for Los Angeles nejft July. Word came recentlx from the Democratic Natidhal Com- mitteethat Oregon will have 17 full votes at the convention instead or the 16 one. Party leaders seem to be in favor of splitting he . Oregon delegation to set twice as many people with one-half9 a vote each. Adding the 18 al ternates allowed would give a grand total of 52. 9 The only ones with sure berths on the delegation so far are National Committee man C. Girard Davidson and ) National Committee woman Virginia Grant. These two probably will be ajlowed to pick their own alternate!. Thirty-Two Elected 0 But this still leaves ? 5, dele gates to be elected with half that many alternates to be chosen. Previously every dele gate could choose his alter nate. o Democrats around the state house say electing so many delegates will be a touchy and interesting- problem with so many potential presidential candidates capable of split ting the party. . Front runners are Sens. John Kennedy (D-Mass.), Hu bert Humphrey (D - Minn.), Lyndon Johnson (D-Tex.), Stu art Symington (D-Mo.) and Adlai Stevenson of Illinois. No matter how large the Democratic delegation, it will be bound to vote for the win ner of the Oregon preferential primary on the first ballot, until this candidates releases the votes, or until he gets less than 35 per cent of the con vention votes, o National Delegate Hike A good many prominent Democrats in favor of various candidates may seek posts as delegates and their lection would determine the political complexion of the big delega tion. An example might be State Sen. Monroe Sweetland (D Milwaukie) who is a Kennedy man himself. But many can didates could result in q wid split among the delegates aj to favorites. o Committeeman Dav8is3'n alternate migSt ba solved by the trkl bnfly of delegates gettii tegafUr to choose them. - "ationejlj thai increasing of nsmacratia delegates from to 1,611 favors northern oaflflifiate- ttest increases yea maAe is the North al laeqi each state get at least oiob igflflitieml vote. It wgs n American dental scientist, Qp. Willoughby D. Miller, Who first established the fast- ia 18M - that cava ties tftm egused by an acid attack thut starts on the tooth's surtfeee and works inward. when the price dropped to 13c a pound. The coal supplies minerals for the hog diet, he explained. This winter he plans to try mixing this reject bakery flour with his cattle feed to fatten his Devons. Seeks More Meat on Cattle His chief . Devon . experi ment is in trying to develop poled cattle with as much meat as horned cattle. The ad vantage of poled Devons is that, not having horns, they don't bruise other cattle and don't require as much room when they nuzzle up to a com mercial feed box. Horns can be removed, but this involves veterinarian fees, the risk of illness for the cattle and prob able loss of weight. . Throughout the tour, Morse issued instructions to his farm hand for chores he wanted performed while he was away in Oregon this fall - selling two milk cows, filling the pit "silo" in which corn is stored, moving a young bull out of the herd of heifers and into the barnyard, keeping accurate notes on which heif ers have been bred on what days, pulling down some barbed wire so the ponies won't cut themselves. But no dilettante from the city, Morse comes by his cat tle - rearing honestly. His fa ther brought him up on a Wis consin farm where they rais ed fine horses and Devons that won prizes at the Chicago International Livestock Expo sition. Cane Forgotten Before the afternoon was over, Morse had forgotten his cane. He had run after a sick chicken, had trotted toward a young colt to get it to run, so as to demonstrate to the visitor what a fine carriage the colt had; and had helped throw two calves to the ground in order to perform a simple, plainless operation by which they will grow up as steers and be none the wiser, , For a man who knows the business, cattle raising repre sents a solid financial invest ment. Several other senators, realizing this, bought eight registered Black Angus cows and made a deal with Morse to put them with his herd for feeding and breeding. Morse and the owners then split the calves. Partners in this ar rangement are Minnesota Sen ators Hubert Humphrey and Eugene McCarthy and ex-Secretary of the Interior Oscar Chapman, who practices law in Washington. But more than financial in vestment end an obvious love of animals appears to moti vate Morse's week end labors in the country. He uses it as an outdoor change of pace from his indoor exertions in the Senate. As he puts it, as we chugged across the field in his "Black Orchid": "This place helps me forget there's a Capitol, brother!"
