FARMER
With wheat sacks costing 1 0 cents
each, threshing 6 and 7 cents a bushel
harvest hands $2.60 to $3 a day, sack
sewers $3.60 a day and "machine men"
$ to $7 a day. Ed Kiddle, of Island City,
Union connty, miller and livestock buyer.
says that profits of wheat growers are
melting away fast.
i just bought a carload of sacks today."
said he. "Paid $6000 and its just so
much money thrown away, so far as the
actual worth of the wheat is concerned."
The labor problem, Mr. Kiddle said, is
very serious in his part of the state.
Con, an harvest hands, he explained,
'cannot be touched for less than $2.60 a
day, with board thrown in, and it's got to
be pretty good board, too." And the
hands don't work any harder than when
they received $1.60; in fact to some
growers it seems that the more they pay
the less work the men do.
"I wish we had up in our county," he
remarked, "some of the tellows who idle
in Portland parks and streets, with hands
in their pockets."
The spectacle of Portland's park-ful's
tention at once of farmers, who are forced
by business to leave their fields and come
to the city. Several members of the Leg
islature, on beholding the sight, have re
marked that they wished they could put
a law through to compel the idle hands to
help put in the crops, which their mouths
will need tor food in the winter, instead
of talking of socialism and the oppression
of the poor man by capitalism in the sum
mer shade.
They do more to keep themselves
poor, remarked a lawmaker the other
day, "than do all the rich men in Portland
put together, who profit from the pro
ducts of other's labor."
Mr. Kiddle said that the beet sugar
crop of his county is progressing well.
Boys and girls made handsome money
last June weeding out the best rows, many
of them from $1.60 to $2.25 a day. Ow
ing to the vigor of the weeds the beets
were choked out in some places and had
to be plowed up.
As an example of high profit in hog
raising, Mr. Kiddle cited that of a farmer
named Woodruff near Island City, who
last month sold eight hogs, 1 0 months
old, from one litter, for a net profit of
$128.16 on an investment of $20 for the
sow, which will soon produce another
litter. The eight weighed an average of
S84 pounds each and sold for an average
of $24.02. To grow them cost an esti
mated $8 each, so that on each of the
eight Woodruff made a net profit if
$16.02. He fed them on millfeed and
the skim milk product of his separator.
If this farmer had had to pay out of his
hog profits high wages and sack prices,
Mr. Kiddle said, his profits would have
beengreatly reduced. -Portland Oregonian.
CIRCUS BOY MLSSiM
James E. Donigan an acrobat with the
circus here yesterday, notified this office
last evening that a . little lad fourteen
years of age. . Haroid Spencer by name,
had been kidnapped from the Forepaugh
and Sells Bros, circus m Baraboo, Wis.
and that the circus management would
be pleased to get any information con
earning him. It is thought that if he was
not kidnapped he ran away from the cir
cue and is following the company. The local
police are lying low for anyone who will
answer the discription. The boy is an
australian.
Only 82 years old
1 am onlv 82 vears old and don't
expect even when I get to be real old to
teal that way as long as I can get hlec
tric Bitters." says Mrs. E. H. Brunson,
of Dublin, Ga. Surely there's nothing
else keeps the old as young and makes
the weak as strong as this grand tonic
medicine. Dyspepsia, torpid liver, in
flamed kidneys or chronic constipation
are unknown after taking Electric Bitters
a reasonable tune. Guaranteed by New
