TIM E FOR F A R M E R ’S CO-OP?—
HILE grain farming is still the rule, there is
W
without a doubt, the sensible trend toward
toward row crops in this valley. Beets o f course
will take their rightful place at the top of the list
of such row crops.There will still be other crops,
potatoes, onions, lettuce and undoubtedly more
will be added.
May it not be a good plan to start on the road,
suggested by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace,
the other day in Louisville, Kentucky, when he
pleaded for ‘solidarity among farmers’ ? It will
probably be said the farm marketing co-opera
tives have been tried before without success.
However, one need only to look to the Califor
nia Citrus Growers Association, or the Dairy
men’s League Co-operation Association, Inc., to
see that a well organized and managed group of
fanners can conduct their farming along true
business channels.
The co-operative idea may not appeal to the
large grower, because in most cases he can ship
his produce out to market in his own cars. Not so
with the man with but a few acres, say o f onions.
He must sell his cron locally and take whatever
is offered him. If tne company that buys the
small growers crop, has it’s own crop, it would
only be natural to suppose that the company
would put it’s own crop on the market at the
most advantageous time, leaving the small grow
er out of the market until the company had dis
posed of it’s own crop.
Perhaps the farmers in this community are
waiting for some one to start such a co-opera
tive, if so, and some one is willing to go thru the
trials o f starting it, may feel free to use the
columns o f this paper, wnich are always open to
the welfare o f the farmers and business people
of Nyssa.

DO W E W A N T TO M A K E A C IT Y ? —
IT H the advent of the building of the sugar
factory in Nyssa, may it not be wise for us
to look to the future of our residential districts?
This matter o f zoning has been brought up
before, and did not reach it’s goal. Principally
because it wras either too technical or was not
thoroughly understood by those who looked
over the plan. You cannot expect anyone to
build a thoroughly modern house in the midst
o f a neighborhood of shacks. Neither should wre
restrict building to a point where the average
person cannot, from a financial standpoint, af
ford to build.
■% <1
W
W e have before us the problem o f building
this city to at least twice the size it now is. To
encourage people o f subsantial worth to locate
their homes in Nyssa, we must wrork out some
plan that will entice them to build, and build
modem homes.
»,
W e can accomplish this through the intelli
gent use o f our planning board. It is their duty
to recommend to the Council, plans that will
look forward to the future o f the city. No one on
this board, we are sure, wrould want a plan o f
zoning that would stop the less financially able,
from building a house that would be commen
surate with their pocketbook. But there should
be taken into consideration, at least, the health
o f others, to say little o f their esthetic sense.
For this reason may we not hope to see some
zoning ordinance that would restrict building of
houses to at least modern sanitary conditions.
Our City still has nlenty o f room left for the
zoning o f residential buildings. But when, and if
we do ^et such an ordinance, why not enforce it,
impartially?
------------------ + ------------------
Editorials are sprouting all over the country,
taking a ‘raj)’ at Associate Justice Black for ad
mitting having once been a member o f the Ku
Klux Klan. While most everyone is opposed to
what the Klan is supposed to represent, may it
not be that the Justice, in his younger days may
have been one o f those ‘joiners’. As many a
member o f the Townsend CI u I ks can testify, any
one looking for a political career, will join any
organization that will grab o ff a few more votes.

SENSE
"This Is my
commandent, that
you love one another." (John 15, 12)
Believe It or not, this great coun
try of ours Is entering into a new
period of history. The old system of
individualism, that Is, everybody for
himself and the devil get the hind
most, has served its purpose during
the pioneering stage of our nation.
The welfare of the masses of the
people calls for a modification of our
old metheds and for a more fair
distribution of resources and a more
equitable income for the families.
Every man who performs an honest
day’s work has a right to such in
come as will provide for his wife and
children In a respectable and decent
manner.
In the present turning tide of a f
fairs, all people of thought want to
avoid extremes of Individualism as
well as those of
collectivism or
communism. All forms of dictator
ship are abhorrent to the principles
of a free
nation.
Three
simple
thought will ever keep us right in
our economic, social and all other
affairs and they are: There is Ood.
There Is property. There Is charity
and common sense.
Without Ood, there is no secure
sense cf responsibility and no order.
Without property, real and personal,
(including one’s right to occupation
and work)
there is ne
freedom.
Without charity for the under-priv-
eleged and the suffering, there is no
common sense or love for neighbor.
“This Is My commandment,” says
the Savior of the world, "that you
love one another.’ T h is command
ment implies a religion of love. It
contains all other commandment*
within itself. It comes from heaven.
It Is common sense. It s the strong
est factor fer peace and happiness
in our homes and in our commun
ities. And, when everything is said
and done, there is no solution of our
national, state cr local affairs, un
less the underlying
motive
and
principle Is
"love one
another,”
charity and common sense.
"This is My commandment, that
you love one another.”
