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. "'

Oregon Democrats
Face Problem of
Choosing E)ejeqa?es

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

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!"
