LATAR Liked As Pasture Or Hay Latar orchard grass, a develop ment cf the soil conservation service and Washington State University plant scientists at Pullman. Wash ington new leads all other improved varieties of orchardgrass in acres of certified and registered seed grown in the USA. According to Don Leach, local work unit conservationist, Latar is now available at a more reasonable price than ever before. Latar has been scarce and the retail price has been over $1 per pound. A short world crcp of common orchardgrass seed has raised prices so the differ ence between Latar and common is not large. In the Clatskanie Soil and Water Conservation District, cooperators Everett Johnston, Birkenfeld, and Russel Carver, Clatskanie, have had hay and pasture seedings of Latar. Seed for the original plantings was supplied by the SCS plant materials center for comparison with common varieties. Everett Johnston says “my sheep and cows like l.atar better than any orchardgrass I have ever planted. It is very leafy and remains very palatable.” District chairman, George Cowles, says help in establishing and man aging improved hay and pastures is available from the local SCS office in connection with regular farm plan ning activities.

When unjustly charged with an offense, even a simple traffic vio lation, he is prone to feel that all is lost. Our laws, however, provide a number of protections to insure against convictions of the innocent. Probably the most fundamental right of the accused is summarized in the well-known adage. "Every Iran is innocent until proven guilty.” It is up to the prosecuting authorities to prove that the person on trial is guilty—and not the obligation of the person accused to prove that he is innocent. Anothei important protection is the right to have a witness whose testimony you may need subpoenaed to appear in court and testify. It is the duty of every citizen to testify if he has information important to a lawsuit and is called upon to do so. The courts can and do enforce at tendance in court and the giving of testimony. Certain other safeguards are valu able to you. A person may refuse to testify in any proceeding if he has a reasonable belief that his testimony could be used as a basis of a crimi nal proceeding against him. This does not mean, of course, that con fession given freely and voluntarily cannot be used as evidence. But it does mean that an accused cannot be compelled to take the witness stand. Nor can his failure to testify be commented upon by the prosecu The Columbia county Selective Ser tion. vice advises ail young men becom These are but a few examples of ing 18 years of age that they are required to register within five days the numerous safeguards our courts after reaching that age.
