Jim Anderson
Does Bit For
Jail TV Idea
Latest installment in the saga
of Sheriff J. M. (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.

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.

Midwest Farmers Optimistic This Year; GrBmblisg Over Benson Politics Falling Off
Farm Income on $e whole Is
up, but th Improvement In var
ious ares is far from uniform.
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.
