Henderson, Klam ath county agent. The figures also disclose an interesting trend- that has put crop values far ahead of livestock, in con trast with their relative posi tions two decades ago. In case you missed the re port or have forgotten the figures, the agent announced that the total of livestock and crop values in 1944 was $24,- 816,900 an all-time high and EPLEY an emphatic demonstration of the productive functions of Klamath basin land PLUS KLAM-. ATH BASIN WATER. Breaking it down, the agent showed that crop values for the year reached $18,277,900, or roughly three times the livestock return of $6,539,000. Now, let us go back 20 years and see what were the relative Incomes of these two depart ments of agricultural activity. In 1926, the total income from livestock was $3,320,000, and that from crops, $1,585,000. The same relative figures are shown in the 1924 re port. In those years, livestock was about double the farm crop value, whereas now it is about one-third the farm crop value. It should be pointed out, however, that live stock values have not decreased since the middle 'twenties. Livestock income has gained rather steadily, but the spectacular increase in crop returns has taken that figure far ahead. Significant1 i THESE statistics are especially significant at this time when the importance of water to Klamath basin economy is in the limelight in connection with the proposed Central Valleys diversion scheme. . This enormous increase in crop production and returns has been accomplished with the use of water. Without irrigation development, this would have remained essentially a live stock region, and total agricultural returns, of course, would be far less than those currently reported. Future crop' development In the Klamath basin injects, an uncertain factor in attempts to determine the amount of water this basin will need to realize its maximum- destiny as an agricultural area. Any project that commits any portion of our water to somebody else is therefore a matter of most serious concern to us. The War Today By DeWITT MacKENZIE ; Associated Press War Analyst IF General Eisenhower isn't on the verge of flinging a mighty offensive against the Ger man Rhenish defenses, he certainly is giving a most convincing imitation of a man with such intention. , , , . The Hitlerite spokesmen say there s no doubt the storm is about to break. The whole allied front is throbbing with inyasionltis. Allied fighting men stand on or inside the German frontier along a 160-mile line, from Roermond in the north to war-blasted Saarbrucckcn in the south. ... On the northern flank the British second rmv and General Simpson's U. S. ninth army, having recently improved their positions, are. poised for action. ueiow mem uera. U. S. first army and General Patton's helUrais- ing third are smashing into the German Sieg fried defenses in what could be restricted opera tions but look like preliminaries to a big drive. Bad Time of Year ALL this presents an intriguing military anomaly. It runs counter to what one would expect under normal conditions, because this is a bad time of year for a major assault. T rioleins across at the eastern front we see a similar phenomenon. There the Muscovites! would, under normal circumstances, have paused when they reached the strong German defenses along thc River Oder. The red forces are entitled to a breather after their terrific race across the snow-bound plains of Poland. Their greatly extended communications surely could do with an overhauling. Now would be a good time to consolidate their positions, and complete iron ing out their northern and southern flanks. Menace to Berlin BUT the red armies are continuing their on slaught all along the line. Already they've established several bridgeheads across the Oder, and have created a special threat to Berlin in the heavily fortified Kustrin-Frankfurt sector directly east of the capital. There's no sign that they figure on slackening in their fierce drive. Thus we see both eastern and western allies going against procedure in every-day warfare. They're doing it by agreement. Why? The answer is that a crucial emergency has arisen. The Hitlerites are showing striking weakness in both theaters. The line of the Oder isn't holding the way we had been led to expect. In the west Nazi Marshal Von Rund stedt's badly mauled forces have been so de pleted by casualties in the battle of the Belgian bulge that he's giving ground all along the west wall.

SET FDR MILITARY Enlisted men and their wives are invited to a valentine party at the First Presbyterian church, 6th and Pine, on Friday, Febru ary 9, at 8 p. m. It has been thought that these couples might desire to form some kind of a social group to make use of the remodeled and redecorated room in the church basement, which is now avail able. During the evening, such plans will be discussed. Those in charge of the ar rangements are Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd A. Young, Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Stone, and Mr. and Mrs. Phil Hitchcock. Any couple interested in at tending this party should con-, tact the church office, 7311, not later' than noon on Friday. Cascade The weather here, although mild for January, is rainy and snowy. About 12 inches of new snow has fallen and the level is now 28 inches. Intermittent rams have diminished the snow. Mrs. Bennie Benson has re turned to Cascade Summit after spending almost a month in Oak ridge and Eugene, where she has received medical attention. ' Word has been received from the Hobart Williams family that they are now residing in Suther lm. Williams is in charge of the county jail in Roseburg, but be cause of the shortage of houses in Rosebug, the family has been corriDelled to live in Sutherlin. Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Benson left for San Francisco, where Ben son will be telegrapher for the Southern Pacific company. Mrs. Kirk of Mt. Hebron is filling the vacancy left by Benson here. Alan Elliott, who formerly worked, for Roy Temple but is now chief engineer on an army transport, stooped off to visit the Temples while cn route to Now Orleans. The people of Cascade Sum mit, having so few pleasures and amusements, are often called upon to furnish their own enter tainment. One of the recent forms of entertainment is guess ing when Germany will fold up as, well as when Japan will sur render. Each person's estimate 1st written down and when Ger many surrenders, a party will be laven in honor of those whose Kilosses were nearest right, While those who guessed the fuVthest from the rlphl date will have to furnish the refresh mpnts.

Fourth of Property Returns On File Approximately one fourth of the anticipated returns on the personal property reports were on file late Thursday in the county assessor's office. Those receiving the forms were asked to file the 1945 reports at the earliest possible time. The dead line is March 2, Assessor New ton B. Nelson stated.
