TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
In regard to the incident of
trespassing at Sunday’s Jamboree
Logging show, I would like to ex­
tend to the offended party my
sincere apologies. As chairman of
the Logging show, the responsibil­
ity was solely mine. But I wish
to assure you the error was one of
omission rather than intent and I
hope the party concerned will
bear no grievance against any fu­
ture Logging show chairman or
committee because of my error.

TO WALK A LONELY ROAD
Picture a clear sun filled day; a
day full of promise, hope and hap­
piness. The sight of suntanned
children playing on the velvet
green grass enjoying a carefree
life. The image of normal children
on a God-given summer day, but
heartbreak and sorrow are ahead.
The next day one of these sun­
tanned children is rendered a
Mentally Retarded Child. I can
hear parents of normal children
saying, “This will never happen
to us,” but as hard a fact as this
is to face, it can happen to you and
is happening every day, through
accidents, illness and many other
reasons.
The knowledge that you are a
parent of a Mentally Retarded
Child is quite a task to take and
acknowledge. There are many fa­
cets of such discovery: your own
feelings, other family members
feelings, friends and society’s ac­
ceptance, but foremost is what
about the child?
What is being done for these
children? Is the general public ac­
cepting them or are they black­
listed due to lack of public edu­
cation? It is an especially hard
time for the parents of these han­
dicapped children. They feel alone,
heartbroken, and sometimes guil­
ty-
There is no reason for mentally
retarded persons or parents of
mentally retarded children to be
alone. Through the efforts of Co­
lumbia Association for Retarded
Children they can band together
to further understand and cope
with their problems.
They can help the general pub­
lic better understand a situation
that has long been ignored or
shoved into the background. These
children do not need to walk a
lonely road, they can prosper and
be developed to their full poten­
tiality if given their chance in so­
ciety and can walk the road of
life's fullfillment. These children
need help and understanding.
Mrs. Donna Thorp, president
Columbia Association for
Retarded Children
To the Editor:
More than half the states have
lower interest rates on small loans
than Oregon has. This includes all
four that touch Oregon.
If you elect me your representa­
tive in November, I will introduce
a bill to reduce the rates to those
of California, 2ti% a month to
$100; 2%, $100 to $500; Y«% a
month (9* ; a year) on remainder.
A $500 loan in Oregon now costs
$156 a year, or $30 more than in
California: A $1500 loan in Oregon
now costs $276 a year, or an even
$50 more than in California.

To promote more interest in bet­
ter displays and neatness of main­
tenance, the commission is giving
a special award of $10 in each de­
partment of livestock exhibiting
at the Oregon State Fair, Aug. 31-
Sept. 8.
All exhibits will be inspected
'daily during the Fair and scored
on grooming of animals, condition
of stalls, pens and aisles, with par­
ticular attention given to the or­
derliness of the areas. The award
is presented the final day of the
Fair.
Earl Schar, barn superintendent,
reports that Oregon's State Fair
has gained a wide reputation for
its attractive livestock exhibits and
hopes are to maintain this.
“Visitors from many other states
comment, as they pass through
the barns, on how well kept our
livestock division is,” Schar com­
mented this week.
When a modem homeowner
feels that his back is to the wait
it is because the finane»' company
is trying to nail him down.

AROUND TH E FARM
A recent Oregon State Univers­
ity market report indicated that
only 54 percent of Oregon’s farms
are classed as commercial, but that
these commercial farms sell 96
percent of the state’s farm pro­
duce. Similar figures for the coun­
ty could be developed but the re­
lationship would be much the
same.
Curently, Columbia county has
362 commercial farms. The aver­
age acreage of these commercial
farms is more than 203 acres. The
valuation of land and buildings on
these commercial farms averages
more than $40,000 each.
Census breaks down commercial
farm numbers in Columbia county
into the following classes:
Class I $40.000 or more of sales,
3*. of the farms.
Class II $20,000 to $39,999 in
sales, 11% of the county farms.
Class III $10.000 to $19,999 in
sales, 22'. of the farms.
Class IV $5,000 to $9,999 in sales,
21*7
Class V $2.500 to $4,999, 31% of
the commercial farms.
Class VI $50 to $2,499 in sales,
12%.
The value of all products sold
from Columbia county farms aver­
aged $4.500 per farm at the time
of the last census, but is no doubt
up some now. A number of county
farms obtain income from their
lands without the sale of a pro­
duct. The use of recreational fa­
cilities is involved in many of
these Rental of shooting areas for
waterfowl is probably the more
common instance involving this
type of income, but fishing rights
on private ponds offer considerable
potential.

IT S A PRIVILEGE AND A PLEASURE TO LIVE IN VERNONIA
By DON COIN WALROD
County Extension Agent
tors to the station included Mr.
and Mrs. Matt Erickson, Mr. and
Mrs. William Reed, and Dick Ma-
gruder, Clatskanie; Elmer Loyd,
Deer Island, and Robert Stevely,
county extension agent.
Like any farmer, we found Herb
Howell, superintendent of the sta­
tion, engaged in a number of ac­
tivities. Since this is the only
branch station at which dairy work
is done, hay-making was in pro­
gress but not in the usual manner.
A crop dryer was in use in prepar­
ing the hay for storage.
In going over this operation with
the visitors, Howell indicated
Western Oregon, and particularly
the coastal areas, could grow hay
crops as well as some other areas,
but their problem was in getting it
cured. In fact during the night,
hay being cured with air alone
would actually regain some of the
moisture lost earlier.
Heated air is now being used
with good success, says Howell.
Quality forage can now be pro­
duced for a cost of $2.50 per ton.
Amortization of equipment costs
would run about $1.25 more. When
these costs can be offset by a $10
or $11 freight rate, they are well
within reason, believes Howell.
One loafing or Rose housing
barn on the station is being con­
verted to loose-stall housing. One
of the big reasons for this is the
savings in bedding under this sys­
tem.
This loose stall system of hous­
ing is relatively new, having been
introduced a couple of years ago
by a dairyman. Adolph Oien of
Snohomish county, Washington. Al
Estep, formerly county agent in
Snohomish county and now area
dairy agent for the southern Wash­
ington counties, reports that there
seem to be at least six reasons this
system has been favored by dairy-
men.
Loose-stall housing may result
in savings in bedding running up
to 75 percent. Limited supplies of
this commodity, along with in­
creased costs and handling charges
have made dairymen conscious of
any savings that might be made in
this manner.
Experience has shown that less
labor is required to keep loafing
areas clean, and the cleaning op­
eration is almost completely mech­
anized.
Cows are cleaner under loose-
stall housing than most other sys­
tems. Clean cows require less
washing time in preparing for
milking and cleanliness helps to
maintain milk quality.
Dairymen report fewer injuries
when loose-stalls are used com­
pared to conventional housing.
This helps to keep the good cows
in the milking string.
The loafing area requirements
per cow are less with loose-stall
housing. For example, Holstein
cows in conventional loafing sheds
usually are provided a minimum of
80 square feet per cow. With stall
housing, space requirements can
be reduced to about 50 feet per
COW’.
Most dairymen report their cows
become more gentle and easier to
handle under the loose-stall sys­
tem of housing.
A few years ago pork producers
made some very definite shifts
from conventional methods of pro­
duction to system generally known
as ‘pig parlors’. A number of
county producers adopted this sys­
tem wherein feeder pigs were
raised under a relatively confined
system.
Labor and feed efficiency were
factors bringing about this change.
New a new factor is being intro­
duced in the form of slotted floors,
mainly because they reduce the
labor needs for cleaning. The ani­
mals work the droppings through
the slots in the floor and keep
themselves clean. Manure can then
be removed from under the slats
without interference from animals
and equipment.
The school of agriculture at the
University of Illinois experimented
with three different materials for
slats — concrete slats, wood slats,
and quarry screen. The concrete
slats had a tep width of five inches
and tapered to a three inch width
at the bottom. Wood slats were
made by cutting 4 x 8 Douglas fir
timbers into two equal parts. The
cutting was done as a 15 degree
angle so that each slat had one
tapered side, and a top of slightly
over 4*£ inches. Both the concrete
and wood slats were spaced one
inch apart. The quarry screen had
openings of about one inch square.
Considering all factors, such as
durability, anchorage, stability,
and cost, the concrete appeared to
be the best choice for Illinois con­
ditions. Of course, wood is more
costly in Illinois than it is in Ore­
gon.
Pigs raised on the concrete and
wood slats showed no visible ill
effects. Animals on the quarry
screen appeared rather reluctant
to move around and their hoofs
showed some wear.
Tomlin Makes Progress
T. F. Tomlin, clerk at the local
post office, suffered a heart at­
tack Saturday evening at the Jam­
boree dance and was taken in the
Vernonia ambulance to Tuality
hospital, Hillsboro. By Wednes­
day of this week he was out of the
oxygen tent and showing good
progress toward recovery.
