Nelson 31 years a county agent, 24 years in Colum bia county, has joined the real es tate firm of Galaway and Mc Graw at Hillsboro it was an nounced last week. Nelson a native of Sonora, Cal., came to the Scholls-Dixie Moun tain area in a covered wagon in 1886. He bad the distinction of being appointed the first county agent in Wahkiakum county in southwest Washington on Novem ber 1, 1912. From that date he has been active in farm extension work. Recently he completed a special investigation for Oregon State college on the subterranean and lotus major clover, working in four counties. In a guest editorial outlining a county agent's job for the Oregon Journal June 3, he stated that his work afforded him a “grandstand seat” to watch the progress made by the farmers in the Pacific northwest. He recalled the first construction work in field crops in 1903, when an enterprising per son with means offered to guar antee against losses if a farmer would grow a crop of about 70 acres under the direction of Dr. Seaman A. Knapp, former presi dent of Iowa State college and lat er with the bureau of plant indus try in the U. S. department of agriculture. The farmer made 5700 by following directions in this ex periment. Retired from county agent work, Nelson will be a salesman for the realtors.

Ward, who borrowed $4200 to purchase a home in the city of Tillamook, Ward is an employee of the post office in his community. The first million dollars which the department loaned went to 424 veterans. The average loan was for $2212. Virtually all were made under the original loan act of 1945 which permitted a max imum loan of only $3000. It is now possible to borrow up to a maximum of $6000, or 75 per cent of the appraised value of the property, whichever is less, due to amendents passed by the 1947 legislature. Now that the legislature has also transferred the duty of mak ing appraisals to the department, loan officials say they are able to give the veteran (much faster THURSDAY, JULY 10, 1947 MIST—Bernard Dowling and his mother went on a sightseeing tour the 4th, down through Jewell to Olney and along Youngs river to Astoria and down to Warrenton.

Ask VERNONIA INSURANCE 905 Br:dge Street Phone 231 Vernonia Fish Bites Woman 1 Willie Wells was coming home from Seward’s Creek the other eve ning with a string of trout, when a stern looking lady (visitor at the Boxwood Inn) stops him, and tells him a man his size could be better occupied than catching fish. Willie tells her off real good- naturedly by saying: "Perhaps you’re right, but if these fish had kept their mouths shut, they wouldn’t be here." (At that, says Willie, laughing out loud, she 'ooketl just as if a fish had bit her!) Blabbing mouths never cause anything but trouble. Nobody who knew the facts would ever criticize Willie's right to go fishing on his one day off—any more than they’d deny his right to come home to a mellow glass of beer. From where I sit, the slower wo are to criticize—and the quicker we are t’ recognize another’s tastes, the better we’ll get along together — whether those tastes apply to beer or fishing. BILL J.
