Washington, D. C., Feb. 24-- Not
all sections of the country are as
prosperous and busy as the Pacific
northwest, where the highest wages
ever recorded in that region are
being paid In the war industries.
Despite the complaint that there Is
a shortage of manpower and that
jobs are going begging at good wa-
gees, an attempt has been made to
revive the old food stamp program
for a large segment o f the national
population.
The way to hold down the cost
of living (food) is to issue food st
amps as a subsidy, it was argued
in the'senate. Cost of food has so
ared to the point where the men
and women on a stationary, fixed
on fixed income by type as follows:
Old-age assistance 2,170,00, aid to
dependent children 310,000, aid to
blind 80.000, receiving general re
lief 380,000 Other fixed Incomes
are 1.340,000 In the federal service,
excluding the military; In stale and
local governments 1,920,000: In the
public educational group 1,320,000.
There are 880,000 receiving veteran
pensions and 4,750,000 receiving
military allotments; another 10,000
receiving lump-sum old-age and
survivors pensions and 880,000 In
that category receiving monthly
payments. Under the railroad re
tirement act there are 160,000 on
fixed income, with 70,000 drawing
civil service pensions. All these
aggregate 14,000.000 receiving fixed
Income. It Is this group which suf
fers most with the increased cost
of living, for they cannot stretch
their Income, and it Is this group
for which it was proposed to Issue
food stamps.
According to the bureau of hu
man nutrition and home economics,
the basic low cost for an adequate
diet for a family o f four Is *646 a
year. Senator LaPollette says there
are 18,000,000 families In the United
States whose Incomes will not per-

be a candidate for delegate to the
I lepublican national convention, and
will campaign On a platform of
Dewey for president.
Mr. Gallagher said:
" I believe that the people desire
to elect a man who has demonstr
ated his ability as an administrator,
and one who will clear up the maze
o f red tape and bureaucratic con
trol of the affairs of business men
and farmers.
•'Dewey will carry New York and
the thickly populated states of the
east as well as the middle west, bo
th In the convention and against
any person whom the Democrats
might nominate, including Presid
ent Roosevelt.
“ I am convinced that the people
desire a younger, more vigorous
leader; one in sympathy with the
younger people, who, after all, must
bear the terrific burden placed on
them by the war, and Inherited fr
om 12 years of New Deal boondog
gling. Dewey has made a fine re
cord as Governor of New York.
His fearless and efficient adminis
tration of his duties and of the
criminal laws of his state brands
him as the type of leader the peo
ple are looking for.”
Mr. Gallagher reports that a
state-wide organization Is being
perfected on behalf of Governor
Dewey, wjth headquarters In Port
land. and an active committee in
: every county of the state.
He will file his formal candidacy
; in the near future and carry on an

mlt that expenditure without rob
bing other needs. There are 3,488,-
000 families .and single consumers
whose income is less than $500 a
year, and 6,662,000 families and
single consumers whose cash in
come is betwwen *1,000 and *5,000.
In all these categories—various ty
pes o f pensions, old-age assistance,
low Incomes, etc.—the state o f W a
shington, Idaho and Oregon are
represented.
While it is true that everyone
has a ration book, the cash income
of millions of people Is too low to
permit them to make purchases at
current prices, and many of their
coupons are given away.
Mortgage loan companies are st
ill fighting to liquidate Home Own
ers Loan Corp., and they have a
high paid lobbyist camping In W a
shington D.C. Now, however, HOLC
is receiving support as the plan to
liquidate becomes clearer. HOLC
was created in the early days of the
new deal to take over distressed
I mortgages and make new loans on
the property in peril. Hundreds of
thousands of citizens would have
lost their homes had HOLC not
come to their rescue. HOLC also
balled out many private mortgage
companies by enabling these con
cerns to shove the sour loans off
jon Uncle Sam’s agency since 1936
! no loans have been made and
HOLC has been a servicing agency,
seeing that interest was collected,
taxes paid and property kept up.
The record for the northwest is re
payment of loans has been unsur
passed.
Private lending companies are
determined to wipe out HOLC and
force it to dispose of the good loans
and be “stuck” with the unprofit
able ones. They say that HOLC is
: o longer needed and that govern-
j ment should not compete with pri
vate business. These companies sa
ng another song in the early 1930s
when they did everything they
could to have HOLC take their bad
loans. I f HOLC is not liquidated it
will show a profit in June, 1952,
when it expires by law, but If the
private companies have their way,
taxpayers will have to pocket a
loss on this agency which may run
to a billion dollars. Before 1952
HOLC may be needed as much to
save the home owner as it was lln
1933
Wool growers of the Pacific nor
thwest are beginning to worry over
the 1.200.000,000-pound stockpile of
wool accumlated by the state dep
artment and the defense supplies
corpoeration during the past year.
This Is equivalent to a two years'
supply for domestic needs, and th
ere is already a considerable tap
ering o ff of military requirements.
The state department purchase was
from Uruguay as part of the good
neighbor policy and there Is rea
son to believe it may be repeated
this year. It is feared that with re
turn to anything like normal con
ditions the wool market will be
flooded and prices will be driven
down to the low level they reached
after world war No. 1 and which
forced many wooIgrowers Into ban
kruptcy. So far prices have been
sustained by commodity credit cor
poration purchaaes, but these can
not be continued If subsidies are
definitely outlawed by congress.
Attend Grange Meeting—

The chairmen of the standing
committees of the Malheur County
Public Health association announce
the organiation of a new comm
unity group in Sunset valley.
Earl Blackaby of Ontario app
ointed Hudson C. Robb on his fin
ance committee. Mrs Kathryn Cl-
aypool of Vale appointed Mrs Vict
oria Schweizer on her education
committee. Mrs E. D. Norcott of
Nyssa named Mrs L. W. Pomeroy
on nursing, Mrs Arthur Ackerman
of Ontario appointed Mrs J. A. B l
ack on supply, and Arthur H. Bone
of Vale named Mrs L. E. Newgen
on publicity. This group In Sunset
valley has organized a community
group, which gives service where
needed.
This group conducted last week
the first permanent Infant cllnle
held in Malheur county. They are
supplying all necessary equipment
to carry on this clinic so that the
nurse does not need to take equip
ment from her office In Vale.
The members of the community
group are Mrs James Kirkland, Mrs
Annie Gregg, Mrs Kenneth Loren-
sen, Mrs Ira Chadd, Mrs Edwin
Bergam, Mrs W ill Buffington. Mrs
George Wilson, Mrs Harry Ratae-
zyk, Mrs Lew MoCoy, Mrs Albert
Notheis, Mrs Grover Cooper and
Mrs Helmer Julum and those nam
ed on the county committees. Mrs
Annie Gregg Is chairman of this
group.
The organization is not completed
so other names will be added to the
list.
In discussing the campaign aga
inst the spread of tuberculosis, Mrs
Edna Farris of Vale, county health
nurse, said Malheur county his aid

In 1935 it organized a County
Public Health Association with C.
P. Yundt of Oregon Slope as P re
sident. J. L. Turnbull, Superinten

These
committees
reach
out Into
every community o f Malheur co
unty. It is an imposing list o l cit
izens that make up these commi
ttees, However, all a citizen needs
to do to bcome a member of the
Malheur County Public Health ass
ociation is to be interested in the
promotion o f community and co
unty health.
The executive board of the ass
ociation Is made up of the four
elective officers and the chairmen
of the standing committees and
the special committees. This hoard
meets the 2nd Saturday of every
month at 10 A.M. alternating be
tween Ontario, Nyssa and Vale.
Following out one of the object
ives o f the Malheur county branch
experiment station, that Is to try to
solve some of the problems of crop
and livestock producers, the local
station in 1943 conducted fertilizer
trials on sugar beets, the result of
which can provide aid to the pro
ducers of this crop.
Working with sulphur, barnyard
manure and phosphate. It was fo
und that barnyard manure alone
produced 4 4 tons of sugar beets
to the acre more than the check
plots, and barnyard manure with
sulphur Increase the yield over the
manure fertilizer plot by an add
itional half ton. In four different
combinations in which sulphur was
used. It Increased yields over check
plots of three tons or better to the
acre.
Various theories are proposed as
j to the effect of sulphur In com
bination with soils of this county,
but all of them may have an el
ement of practical application. The
first is that sulphur In combination
with other elements In the soil
provides sulphuric acid which re
duces the lkalinity In the soil by
neutralization. I f this as a fact, it
would seem a safe recommendation
to make to use only pure sulphur or
99 'a percent pure sulphur for app
lication to the soil. I f sulphur Is
applied In the form of gypsum, It
Is quite evident that the calcium
will not only use up the sulphuric
acid released by the sulphur in the
gypsum, but also the large percent
age of calcium or alkalinity In pro
portion to the small amount of
sulphur In the gypsum would pro
vide an excess alkalinity, there by
adding to the alkali already In the
soil.
Another theory Is that phosphor
us and calcium usually comBlne and
upon the application of sulphur,
the sulphur reacts with the calcium
to make up a sulphate which Is
soluable and Is available to the pl
ant as plant food. This releases the
phosphorus which is also used by
the plant In the form of phosphoric
acid. There Is a slight excess of
calcium from this reaction, but this
is washed out o f the soil by irrigat
ion in part but also increases the
alkalinity o f the soil.
These experiments will be con
tinued another year as better evid
ence can be obtained as a result of
several successive experiments.
