"LOOK

Arising from a very laudable
desire to eut down expenses dur­
ing this time of depression, a
great deal of time and discussion
has been given recently to the
suggestion made by certain of
the county taxpayers that several
county offices be discontinue! for
the benefit of the salary to be
saved.
Although admitting the value of
care in spending money, includ­
ing tax dollars, we sometimes
wonder if a real scrutiny was
given to the situation, before the
suggestions were made in “meet­

Farm« maintaining dairy cows, hog«, poultry and, in some ins­
tances «heap or goats, are steadily replacing the single-enter­
prise farm.
Field products instead of being confined to one
grain crop, alfalfa, or a one-root or legume crop, include
many varieties—each planted in rotation to insure greatest
soil fertilization.
General Contractor
Results of such progressive farm operation are to be seen at
the 21st Annual Pacific International Livestock Exposition,
Portland. Oregon, October 24-31. Here in addition to the
great Land and Dairy Products Exhibits will be found millions
of dollars worth of pure-bred Beef and Dairy cattle. Horses,
Sheep, Hogs, Goats, Poultry and Rabbits competing for prized
ribbons and a share in the $100,000 offered in Premiums.
Endorsing wholeheartedly the trend towards greater diversifi­
cation in farming activities we here at the Bank of Vernonia
urge every farmer hereabout to attend this year’s Pacific
International.
