(Red) Brittons efforts to give county jail pris oners TV entertainment came in the rather surprising form of a letter from convicted killer James Anderson. "I have read of your humane efforts regarding your TV in the county jail," Anderson wrote from the Oregon State Penitentiary where he is serving a life sentence. "Since you are holding the short end of the stick, please accept the enclosed $5 towards payment of same," he continued. Anderson sent a check drawn on a peniten tiary trust account. "I was your guest in the cross-1 bar hotel for 23 months," Jimmie went on. "and rieht here and now 1 say you are the fairest and most Impartial as well as the finest man who wears a star as badge of office that I have ever known, and believe me, I have know quite B few. . . ," Anderson was convicted of the shotgun murder November 4, 1954 of Richard D. Miller in Beatty after a fist fight. Britton reports donations have already paid for the first three sets bought for the jail and plans soon to acquire three more sets, with confidence these, too, will be paid off by the kind-hearted. The Klamath County Court re fused to allow county money for the sets. Vocalist To Head Program MOUNT SHASTA-The VFW ra dio quarter hour for Thursday evenine. June 19. will headline Sirs.

Hay Processing Group Formed TULELAKE Marketing of much of the Tulelake Basin's fu ture hay crops in pelleted form is being planned by a newly or ganized group of Tulelake farm ers, incorporated as the Hi-Valley Mills. Construction of a processing plant near the present location of the Newell Cooperative at the Tuber Riding on the Great Norm em Railroad, is expected to get under way within two or three weeks. Anticipated cost of the plant is $50,000. Aluminum build ings are planned. Spokesmen for the new company which will utilize both hay and crain in the processing of pellets for livestock consumption, say the handling of the hay by this meth od will eliminate much of the loss suffered by producers in past vears due to wet weatner ana lack of protection of the crop. An nual output of the plant will be around 5.000 tons, processing win hppin in the fall. Frank King has been named nresident of the corporation: Ed Osborne, vice president and Wood- row Chambers, secretary treasurer. Vac. Cleaner Repairs Specialised Service on all makes Ports - Bags .

Which of the bif Middle West arming- areas are doing the best? And how do the farmers feel now about Agriculture Sec retary Benlbn, who has been cordially disliked by many of them? , United Press International sent one of Its Washington farm writers, Bernard Brenner, on a srass roots tour Into four key areas to appraise such questions. He visited farmers, small-town businessmen and country-district politicians In the wheat area of Western Kan sas; In the livestock and grain counties of Eastern Iowa: the dairy district of Southern Min nesota; and the cotton country of the Rio Grande Valley in Texas. His findings are summarized in a dispatch for Friday after noon newspapers. By BERNARD BRENNER United Press International "Recession? I don't believe this locality even noticed it. This was J. M. toncannon, a wheat farmer, talking as he leaned against the machine he was using to work the soil of a fallow field near the wheat Deit town of Garden City; Kan. We don t know what recession is this year." agreed Arend Bals- ter across a cluttered desk in his farm supply store at Scotch Grove, Iowa. This reporter talked to dozens of men like Concannon and Bals ter in a nine-day, four-state tour to sample the economic and po litical climate of the farm belt. The findings may be summa rized as follows: Business and farm income prospects were generally up in the Kansas wheat and cattle sec tions and in the Iowa hog and cattle feeding areas, typical of many other high-producing corn belt areas. -Grumbling about Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson was fading in some of these areas un der the impact of a bumper wheat crop and good livestock prices. UiK nnt all tarmnre UAm ' sharing in the improvement. Cash grain growers in lowa were "crying the blues as hard as ever," one mer"hant reported. Farmers in the Southeastern Minnesota dairyland were com plaining about a recent cut m their price supports. In the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, despite prospects for an excellent cotton yield, farmers were worried about a Labor De partment regulation which they said will raise the cost of harvest ing the crop. . The Agriculture Department in Washington reported recently that farmers' receipts from marketing nationwide in the first four months of 1958 were 8 per cent above the same period in 1957. The improvement, department economists said, was due largely to reduced supplies of some ma jor farm products including live stock and vegetables. People vote their pocketbooks. said Dale E. Saffels. a Garden City, Kan., attorney and Demo cratic member of the State Legis lature. Saffels said there is still a lot of anti-Benson sentiment" in Kansas wheat-heavy 5th congres sional district which elected Democratic congressman in 195fi alter more than 30 Republican years. But the grumbling has been shrinking as a record-breaking wneat crop matures, he a creed and the size of the anti-administra tion farm "protest" vote will prob ably be down this fall. "When prices are down. farm. ers and people in our small towns vole for the outs." said James Bradley, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, at torney and Democratic chairman tor Linn Countv. "It's not so much the farmers -we re getting about half of them it's the small town voters." Bradley added. "If farmers aren't spending and their pocketbooks are pinched, the small towns will vote Democratic. As of now. we Democrats will get clobbered in the small towns." At nearby Clarence, lowa. hoe farmer Elmer Meyer climbed oft his tractor to observe that, the vole in Iowa's recent primary was light in Cedar County. That's a good indication that times are good, and it will likely be a good Republican year." Meyer predicted. 'Benson is almost forgotten now because prices are in pretty good shape," Meyer said. "I've been getting from H4 a head up to $52 for my hogs this spring, and whenever I can get over $45 I figure I'm making good money." At Rochester, Minn., center of a big dairying area, a Democratic leader said Benson's order cutting dairy price supports April I will "help us some." But it won't be enough to elect a Democratic congressman in the first Minne sota district where Democrat Eu gene Foley Inst a hairline deci sion to Hep. Albert Quic in a spe cial election several months ago "unless we get a stronner can didate." the Rochester parly lead er said. Rex H. Gregor, a Southeast Minnesota Republican leader, said at Rochester that recent months have produced a steady drift to ward support of Benson's policies among farmers in spite of Ben son's order cutting dairy supports. Some smaller dairy larmers are getting out of the business. Gregor said, and the effect of farm is sues will be siiKeV-r in future elec tions. "1 don't think that even farmers put as much slock in farm issues as the politicians do," Gregor said. R. V. Epp.ird, a farm machin ery dealer at Fort Dodne. Iowa, said however, that anli-Bcnson feeling was slill hiyh among the fanners he talks to. Farm income in the area will be up perhaps 30 per cent this year, estimated Oscar Lundgren. vice president of the Union Trust 4 Savings Co. at Fort Dodge. The increase will go mainly to liw stock producers, leaving cash grain producers "pretty pinched." Eppard told UPI at Fort Dodge his machinery sales are up 50 per cent over last year in spite of a 7 to 10 per cent increase in prices and slitter bargaining by farmers. In the- wheat country. Hoy B. Killing said farm machinery sales around Garden City, Kan., are the best in many years. Taylor's Accounting Service Oprn a m. tft p.m. Mood? thru.
