George A. 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.

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

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.
