RANCHER TURNED IS MANAGER N "Ed" Hughes Now Bog Own- er in Own Right at Ban- donâActive in Commun- ity Affairs at Coquille, Especially 'Teen-age Work (Third in Series of West Coast Articles) by CLARENCE J.

As in the case of most NCA plant man- agers when a grower gets stuck for a bit of information or assist- ance he either puts in a telephone call or drops in and talks with "; Hughes can usually come through with the answer called for, particularly if it has to do with irrigation at which he is an expert.

"Ed" is a native Texan, born en a cow ranch, but spent a good many years in Idaho. It was in that state that he studied agricul- ture at the University of Idaho, located in the city of Moscow. He is really a man of varied activities. In 1920 he was running a garage in Idaho. In 1922 he married there and the following year moved over to Grants Pass in Oregon. There he spent 20 years in the stock business, operating his own ranch. He had his own rodeos, having an excellent stable of sad- dle horses.
