July 21 VP) A pic two of government subsidized co operatives with loans at preferential mtej driving private commission firms out of business and bringing chaos to the livestock industry, was painted Wedmaday before a house investigat ing committee by J. O. Swift, former president of the Kansas City live stock exchange. Mr. swift cnoracterizea mo activi ties of the federal farm board as a atop toward growing bureaucratic government, in ma wstimony oeiore tho congressional Inquiry into gov- ornmontal competition with private business, being conducted by a com mittee h?aded by Representative Jo seph D. Shannon of Missouri, ilo stressed tno great importance of livestock to tho midwest, and warned of dire consequence through "tampering" with the industry. AHKti f,i'ttir rieiu All tho livestock interests ask," Promoting New Plan to Handle Farmers' Wheat lly G. C. Meek (Observer Correspondent) i WALLOWA, Ore. (Special) Leo W. Bell, local grain buyer, has been buiy recently acquainting some of tho wheat growers of this community with a new plan he has in mind for handling tho wheat which is to be sold on the market this year. Under the .new system growers may hold their grain as long as they desire and still havo the -advantage of having about 75 per cent of the market value of tho grain to use and if the mat ter can bo worked out satisfactorily it appears that there also 1b a good chanco for. a saving In the matter of handling and other charges. Tho grain would be loaded into tho cars for shipment as It Is hauled in from the farms and shipped to terminals where it would bo stored if tho grow er desired, If growers do not care to make delivery at harvest time tho grain can be stored on the farms and they can secure money on it. The question of heavy dockage has in past years resulted in a heavy loss to growers, both in the matter of a lower price for their grain and also because of unnecessary freight on weed seeds, trash and so on. Accord ing to Mr. Bell It would: be possible to secure a suitable cleaner which could bo Installed at the car and clean all grain before shipment, this he believes would result In a very worth while saving to growers. A considerable number of cattle nave oeen shipped from this coun ty during the past few weeks. Some of tho recent shlDments are reported to have brought quite low prices. One itirmer reports me returns irom some two-year-old steers of only $3.06 a hundred net. A shipment of two carloads were scheduled for ship ment from here this week, however. because of the unfavorable markot prospects at present the shipments hove been held off for a few weeks. The greater part of the stock being auijjpeu h(, una time are saicr to-pe in excellent condition. . . Oscar Maxwell and Irvin Gastln returned home the latter part of the week from tho Washboard range whore they were looking after cattle ranging mere. They report an abun dance of Rood feed on the ranees there and all cattle getting fat.- The springs lurnismng water in tho range areas are said to be holding up well yet. A good many of the farmers of tho community have been going over their summcrfallow tracts for the last time before Btarting harvest work. Weeds have come quite good on much of the early plowing. Some lots of huckleberries ore be ing brought In. from Promise and other parts of tho county. A num ber of local people have made trips Into the timbered areas recently In search of berries, and some report a scarcity of. berries in muoh or tho wooded area It is said that frost somo time ago killed a large part of the crop. Miss Ila Couch, of Leap, spent sev eral days the past week in town wa tering and tending to their garden at Mrs. Henry Spence's home. Oastin and Cusslns were busy the latter part of the week moving their sheep to range In the Whiskey creek section. . Eugene Gastln, who is tending sheep camp for Ivan Simmons in the Sled Springs district, spent the lat ter part of the week visiting at the home of his mother, Mrs, Kato Gas tln of Leap. L. W. Minor has had a crew of several men busy during the past week stacking hay at his farm in the hills. He recently cut about' 125 tons of cheat and grass hay there. Mrs. Bertha Taylor and daughter, Olivia, were visiting at the Meek home at Leap the early part of the week. L. W. Minor and family and Mm. Tennant were Sunday visitors at the K. C. Hearing home at Evans. Many of tho car owners of this sec tion are much pleased with the ad dltlonal 15-day extension granted by tho governor in which to operate cars on the old license, although many report that they do not intend to secure new licenses because of the scarcity of money. James Anderson, who is working for John Couch, of Leap, was an En tpmrise visitor the latter part of the week. P. A. Mlngel, of La Grande, visited at the Meek home at Leap the early part of tho week. Several of tho farmers of tho hill feet ions are starting to cut hay from their fall wheat fields this week. Many report their crops very light requiring a good part or the crop for hay for livestock during the coming winter. Some were busy a few weeks ago cutting weeds and anything wnich would provide a supply of win ter feod. O. c. Meek and Earl Burchfleld were Sunday visitors at the A. Mc Alexander home In Middle valley. Co-ops, With U. S. Money, Compete ' With Private Business, Swift Says Mr. Swift said, "is a fair field and no favors. We'd like to return to tho fundamental principled of govern ment on which this country was founded and developed, and we're ready to fight for our principles." He advocated outright repeal of tno agricultural marketing act. In thi- suggestion h3 was seconded by Jamea Tod, Maplo H1U-3, Kan., livestock producer and feeder, who also owns two ranches in New Mexico. 1 Tod also objected to government financed Irrigation projects as "sjwll lng the ruin of tho cattle business." "Bight off the bat," Mr. Tod told Ohairman Shannon, "I'd repeal the agricultural marketing act. I'd modlTy the packers and atockyarda act to givo police power back to tho ex changes and do away with govern ment reclamation projects iudcftu ltoly and repeal the second section of the transportation act which puts a limit on tho earnings of railroads.'1 ALL A MISTAKE I CHICAGO, July 31 Mrs. Han nah Goldberg received a letter from the government today Informing her that $320 in war veterans insurance would be paid because of the death of her son, Benjamin.
