Agiculture Secretary Brannan Cites
Present Day Position Of U.S. Farmer
What If the present day poiition
of American farmers? Here are
some facta cited recently by Secre
tary of Agriculture Charles t.
Brannan.
Farmers today comprise nearly
one-fifth of the national population.
But farm income of persona on
farms, at the peak of agricultural
prosperity, was just under 10 per
cent of the national income in 1946
and 1947. In 1948 the farm share
fell to J percent. In 1949 it fell
, again even including income from
nonfarm sources, farm people re
ceived onlv 7.8 nercent of the na
tional income. This year it may he
as low as 7 percent. Even from 1935
to 1939, the larm share averaged
8 3 percent
The basic job of agriculture, Sec
retary rannan said ,is to pro
duce food and fiber, inducing ade
quate reserve supplies, for the
' needs of the people. But part of
agriculture's oo is concerned witn
how farmers produce how effi
cient they are how well or poor
ly they care for the land from
which food, clothing, and shelter
come.
If farmers produce efficiently the
food and fiber people need, plus
ample reserve supplies, and if they
take care of the land so that its
fertility is not depleted, the secre
tary pointed out that the Nation
owes them something in return.
It owes, first, a fair return for
the farmer's labor and enterprise
for his land and capital Investment.
Second, it owes farmers a 'fair
opportunity to share in the abun
dance of national production the
opportunity to enjoy the progress,
the conveniences, the recreational,
educaticnl, and household advant
ages of the present century.
At the same time, consumers
in a healthy economic situation
ought to be able to pay fair prices
in the msrket place so that the
farmer-producer will receive an
equtable return.

Wa Will Right
We told you earlier in the seo
on that ALL UMPQUA STARTING
FEEDS would be fortified with the
new product MEGASUL, for the pre
ventlon of coeddiosis, (coxey). It It
possible that some folks thought
this meant that under no circum
stances would their chix or poults
get coxey.
We hope you didn't flours It that
way. Just as your kids have to get
the mumps or meail.s to become
Immune, just so do your chix and
poults hav to go through coxey to
become immune.
But nowadays, we con give the
kids a shot in the orm, ond they
won't get neor as -Ick, when, ond
If, meoslet come. And that is where
MEGASUL enters the picture. It
won't completely prevent coxev. We
wouldn't wont to do that. But it
does prevent visible symptoms, ond
therefore severe damage, in nearly
oil coses. In ALL, In toct, except the
-xceotionol ones that prove the rule.
We sow 2000 pullets lost week,
brooded partly on last year's litter,
ond partly on fresh litter. Th.se pul
lets ore now over three months old,
ond a sweet bunch of birds. It is
possible they might hove hod a light
touch of coxey. On gen.ral princi

Then we sow another bunch of
cute little cusses, four weeks old.
One chick hod octually died from

Poultry Meeting Coming
On Thursday. March 16th. ot I
PM, ot the K. of P. Hall In Rosebura
the Douglas County Poultry Breeders
Association will hold their regular
monthly meeting. The Drinciool
speaker will be Earl Reitsma, super

Association.
There will be o number of poultry-
men there, and everybody will be
"We itart from the premise that
farm purchasing power must be
maintained at a reasonable level
or the enitre economy will suffer,
the Secretary aaid. Yev today, he
added, prices received by farmers
have dropped nearly one-fourth
from their post-war peak, while
prices paid by farmers have de
clined only about i percent. Food
grains are down one-third from
their postwar high; feed grains
and hay almost one-half; cotton is
off one-quarter; meat animala and
poultry and eggs, about one-third.
Price supports, Brsnnan explain
ed, are part of the mechanism to
help farmera altai. a fair return.
Since farmera should not be com
pelled by circumstances outside
their control to take whatever re
turn the market price offers, no
matter how low that may be, some
kind of price floor is necessary.
This Jves agriculture a little of
the protection other industries are
able to provide for themselves
through their. larger control over
output and prices of their products.
Aerial Spraying
To Fight Budworm
PORTLAND tP The aerial
spraying of nearly one million
acres of Oregon forests to control

earlier bad opened bids on 500,000
gallons.
The stale operation will apray
170,000 acrea near Kinrua; 130,000

A Bit Of Good Newt
Anybody with nerve enough to
stick to the poultry business with
the Guvment Jacking up the price of
wheat every day needs o bit of en
couragement. We saw it the other
day, ond here it Is.
Intentions of poultrvmen the
country over ore to raise about 1 2
leu pullets this year than last. These
intentions. If corried out should in
sure a much smaller production ot
cockle-berries for next year, ond
maybe Sec. Brannon won't have to
buy so many Inedible eggs ot his
two-bit price support.
By the way, we noticed a piece
In the paper last week, that the
good Sec. "of Agri. thinks you egg
producers will have to produce
cockleberries much cheaper, so they
can be sold to the consumer cheaper.
Then the consumer could eot more
eggs, ond the Sec. could sell all
those 70 million lbs. of dried eggs
he Is keeping in the big cove down
in Kansas. Then, eags might get to
be a better price, since we wouldn't
hove all those Guvment owned egos
hanaing over the morket like o big
black cloud.
Only trouble Is. the Sec. didn't
offer ony suggestions on how to
lower the cost of production, when
wheat is supposed to he suooo-t-d
at the same figure, for the nest Irur
years. And wheat Is our oest fed
for egg production. Please, Mr.
Branan, let us know how YOU would
do it!!

Phosphate-Bearing
Fertilizers Viewed
Phosphate-bearing fertilizers mav
be applied in different ways and
in different amounts in the future.
The suggestion is made by R. Q
Parks of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, taking his cue from
results in Great Britain.
One development, he aaid. "is
the granulation of phosphorus car
riera and mixed fertilizers . . . ao-
proximately 70 percent of the mix
ed fertilizers sold in Great Bri
tain are granulated. And those fer
tilizers are being granulated by
processes similar to those develop
ed in this country. Are we missing
the host? I think that there is a
reasonsbly good chance that we
are. At any rate three of our staff
members will be over there this
spring and summer, to trv to find
out what English soils and English
lerunzer plants nave mat we
haven't got."
And no matter by what method
we apply phosphate fertilizer Parks
said: "We remove in a crop .only
10 to,20 percent of the phosphorous
applied in the fertilizer. Phosphorus
doesn't leach. If we control erosion
losses it just builds up. Recent es
timates indicate that in the South
east we are applying an average of
times aa much phosphorus in
fertilizers aa is being removed in
harvested crops. This use is not
evenly distributed, but over a pe
riod of years, that's still quite a
build-up. And the thing we're be
ginning to appreciate more fully
about this build-up of phosphorus
is that it is not locked up in com
pletely unavailable form. It has
sizable long-time residual effects
. . me more the build up, the more
readily avaiable the phosphorus
that ia held."

Horse Meat Sale
Rouses Anger Of
Texas Cattlemen
FORT WORTH, March 13,
Texas cattlemen are bolter than a
sizzling steak over the current
horse meat scandal.
It's menacing the west's great
beef industry.
- Joe C. Montague, attorney and
spokesman for the Texas and
Southwestern Cattle Raisers asso
ciation, said:
"If you want to see some fire
works, come around when our as
sociation opens its convention in
San Antonio next Monday. The
large-scale horse meat seizures in
Houston, Dallas and Fort Worth
this week will be the main topic.
"Texas cattle raiser are real
ly burned up," Montague went on
(tie was pretty warm, himself),
"this whole scandal is hurting our
beef business. People read about
horse meat and shy away from
butcher shops."
A "million dollar racket" Is
what a atate meat insDector calls
the ssle of horse meat.
G. F. Reed also said the horse
meat that was sold in Texaa as
prime "beef tenderloin" originated
ui snipmenu irom unicago.
In Dallas yesterday tie said he
was pressing an investigation into
the thousands of pounds of the
"steak.".
"The transportation company
that handled the shipments to Dal
las," said Reed, '"brought it from
Chicago. I don't know that the
slaughtering took place in Chicago,
but Chicago- was fie place the
shipments originated."
Federal and local authorities are
passing investigations into the sale
of the meat as well as the state.
"What is the principal difference
between beef and horse meat?"
Montague was asked.
"Horse meat is coarser and
rather atringy," aaid he. ."Mr
handlers can spot the difference
except in the cases of hamburger
and filets."
Nash Rambler
To Be Ready
Next Month
By DAVID J. WII.LKIE

DETROIT. M Nash's new
Rambler car should be ready for
public introduction next month.
The Rambler is the new smaller

held by the Nash management, but
it is fairly well understood the new
I vehicle will be a five-passenger
model, on a 100-inch wheelbase and
l powered with an 82 horsepower
engine.
i Since they gave up their own
plans for smaller, lightweight cars
early in the postwar period, Gen
eral Motors and Ford have dis
played little outward interest in
such units. Nevertheless, the en
tire industry is going to watch the
reaction to Nash's Rambler.
I Unlike Kaiser-Frazer, also plan
ning a smaller model, Nash did not

I Chicago auto show. It plans a
! vigorous promotion drive, however,

Like other models in the Nash
line the new economv car will be
of the single unit body and chassis
construction, industry observers
who have seen it describe it as pre

and of lesa than 2,500 pounds over
all weight.
Like the yet-to-be-named Kaiser

The Tale Of A Saucy Little Polo Ponv
And A Ride Through An Indian Bazaar
By DEWITT MACKENZIE
Like most, folk who like horse
back riding your' correspondent has
had his thrills, and so for this ad
venture tale let's talk about some
steeds he has met especially a cer
tain saucy polo pony in India.
During a tour of the Middle East
and India in the First World War
I encountered some unusual riding,
both as to horses and terrain. In
the Suez canal zone I got my first
experience of desert horsemanship
wuue gurai ui uenerai air nrcni
bald Murray, British commander in
cniei.
The general made his two fine
chargers, one of them a handsome
Arabian, available to me and insist
ed that I use them. So I had them
out on the drifting sands where the
midday sou temperature was
around 175 F. Those of you who
have ridden in loose sand, where
your mount may sink up to its
knees, will understand my anxiety
for fear one of the general's pets
might break a leg. However, all
went well and I mention this.mere
ly by way of variety.
Then came India, land of some of
the world's finest horsemen. I've
already told you in a previous ar
ticle about the astonishing irrigation-ditch
jump made by the tough
cavalry horse I was riding up by
the Khyber Pas while British
troops were rounding up some 600
savage tribesmen. Today's experi
ences were at Simla, summer capi
tal of India, 8,000 feet up in the
Himalayas.
The British civil servants did I
good deal of riding on the mountain
roads and I joined in. My first trip
was on a 16-hand roan of evil eye.
A friend and I took a road along
the side of the mountain which was
so steep that it was virtually a
precipice. The open side of the rosd
was protected by a stout wooden
fence, but if you looked over you
could see almost straight down for
many hundreds of feet.
Well, I happened to be wearing
spurs, just for looks and not for
use. I was riding on the precipice
side of the road when inadvertently
I spurred my horse. The big chap
flew into a rage and started fling
ing himself against the fence in an
effort to hurl me over. The fence
was cracking when I jumped off the
crazy animal. 1 calmed him down,
but he woultln t let me mount again
and I didn't blame him. My friend
and I swapped horses. The roan
would let my colleague mount him
but not the guy who spurred him.
However, I really set out to tell
you about the polo ponv. A Hindu
sidar (titled man), who was a
friend of mine, had two polo ponies
which he turned over to me to ride.
They were radlings a gray and a
black both thoroughly trained for
polo. This meant they could spin
like lightning on a dime, and per

My friend's house was high up
on the mountain, some 200 yards
above the native homes and shops
marking the beginning of the street
leading into the town. You reached
the street by a narrow path down
the steep. hill.
Well, one morning I swung Into
the saddle of the black pony by the
house. He was in fine fettle, and
dancing to go. In his eagerness he
grabbed the bit in his teeth and
started down the pathway like a
young tornado. I wasn't riding with
a curb (I never use 'em) and
couldn't stop him, so that he was
running wild.
As we reached the start of the
bazaar I waa horrified to see a
crowd of tiny Indian children, most
of them mere babies, making mud
pies right in the center of the nar
row roadway which aloped upward
at that point.
In order to pass along the street,
my pony had to go through the
midst of that throng of tots.
It loked as though there wasn't a
chance of avoiding death or injury
to several of them. I had just time
to grit my teeth and say a prayer
before we were right in the midst
of the little folk. I didn't try to
guide my pony. It waa up to him
and interference by me might be
disastrous. There wasn't anything
to do but let him choose his own
route.
He did, end as befitted an artist.
He went through the pie-makers
gracefully, daintily, like a ballet
dancer. His hooves flashed by lit
tle heads and bodies like streaks of
light.
It was a superb piece of crafts
manship on his part and he was
enjoying it. No doubt of that. He
wasn't vicious just mischievous
and bursting with happy life. He
knew what he waa doing.
Once we were through the circle
he responded like a lamb to my
pull on the reins and came -to a de
mure halt. I slid from the saddle,
shaking like a leaf, and he stuck
his velvet nose around as much as
to say:
"That was t jolly good run, old
chap. What?"
Curiously enough the pony did
his stunt so well that the babies
weren't even frightened. Had there
been loss of life, I ' probably
wouldn't be here writing this. The
OEA way of exacting summary
retribution.

Soil Fertility
Figures Noted
Soil fertility accounts, unlike
bank accounts, don't have entries
tnat can be easily read but farmers
in many parts of the country sus
pect that their soil fertility accounts
no longer have the comfortable bal
ances they once had.
The suspicion is borne out by
figures recently compiled by scien
tists of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. The last few years
farmers have made more deposits
in their soil fertility accounts than
ever before through the application
of commercial fertilizers. There
fore, says E. Harvey Miller, chair
man of the Oregon State PMA
committee, if they are ever to bal
ance their fertility accounts, they
should come close to doing it now.
The figures show that in the year
1947 some states more than main
tained a good balance . . . putting
more in than they are taking out.
In other states, however, the re
verse was true.
For the country as a whole only
about 59 percent of the nitrogen
taken out of the soil account in
crops was redeposited by fertilizer
applications and only 63 percent of
the potash. However, 142 percent
of the phosphate that wes with
drawn from the soil accounts was
put back in fertilizers and manures.
Here in Oregon about 28 percent
of the withdrawals of nitrogen were
redeposted; 14 of the potash; and 61
of the phosphate.
These fertility accounts are made
up, the chairman explains, by
charging against each state the
amount of nitrogen, phosphate and
potash removed by 100 different
crops in 1947. Then the accdunt was
credited with the amounts of the
three elements applied as fertilizers
and manures.
Oregon Wool Clip Hit
