REVOLUTIONIZING FARMING
Farmer Smith' address to the
buslnosH men nnd fnrmnrs at tho
Commercial flub Inst Wodnosdny
evening was loomed with tho fruits
of observing yen. Ills talk for
such was tho conversational man
nor ho omployed-r-wns n constant
surprise, and his liomoly wisdom 89
patont that oven the uninitiated
wcra Impressed.
Convinced, as ovoryone was with
tho wisdom of his ndvlco, yet Its
realization calls for a revolution In
tho farming practices of Mnlhour
County. Yet It must coma. Unless
It Is nchlavcd, pormnncnt prosperity
will not he tho lot of the ranchc,
or tho business men of this fertile
vnlloy.
Tho question Is how can It host
bo accomplished? What nro tho
necessary elements to bo brought
Into nctlonT
First of nil thoro must bo n real
ization that a chnngo Is needed J
that no longer can tho rancher de
pend upon ono crop nlfalfa.
In part this Is done. It has boon
accomplished through two over
powering facts; tho falling prices of
tho past year which attended over
production or n reduced number of
cnttlo and sheep, which amounts to
tho snnio thing; and secondly the
coming of tho nlfalfa weovll Into
tho vnlloy.
To bo convinced that nlfalfa
farming has passed Its zenith, how
nvor, Is not sufficient. The ranch.
pm must go furthor than that. To
simply doclnro thnt wn will have
diversified farming docs not create
It. Nolthor can It bo dono In n day.
nor In a senson.
Tho chnngo must como and will
como grndunllyj which Is logical
Tho start has boon made, with tho
Introduction of cows, pigs and chick
nns a innrkct will follow. Already
through tho activity of tho Farm
nuroau arrangomonts nro being
mado for tho marketing of poultry
products; our milk and crenm Is In
demand nnd tho prices hero uro In
lino with thoso pnld In tho host
dairy rogloim. Lack of mnrkot
thon noed not bo n cnuso for delay
In producing althor of those com
modities. With tho pork problom, howover.
11 1 iiiiiiiiiiii fill iiiiiiwiiiii iiiii 1111 11 iiiiiii mi 1 mi
thoro Is much to be dono. Few of
tho rniichcrs nro equipped to rnl.ne
enough hogs to sell In carload lots.
Nelthor Is there n sufficient number
engaged In tho Industry to efficient
ly nulla for pool shipment. Grad
ually this situation will right Itself.
Work to that end Is necessary.
Hut att these nro comparatively
minor factors. Tho greatest problem
Is thnt which tho fiinuorn them
selvoi must accomplish In them
sclio. Either this chnngo will
come, or tho present rnnchors will
sell their holdings and seek other
fields where there Is still opportun
ities for hay growing oh tho solo In
dustry. This may scorn a hard 810161110111.
but ono Is forrcd to this conclusion
with the experience of similar re
gions as examples. Such a change
Is not duo to tho fact that tho pres
ent ranchers nro not successful pro
ducers. They nro and havo been
succcftKtul. In fact they have pro
duced moro hay than they could sell.
It Is not In production that they
havo failed; but In marketing.
Ono often hears the statement;
"you cannot nuiko n dairyman out
of a Malheur county hay grower."
This Is only relatively truo. There
Is no doubt concerning tho ability of
tho nvcrngo hay grower to mnstcr
tho details of dairying; but ho docs
not want to master It; that Is tho
majority do not. And no ono can
blnmo thoso who do not, Into In
llfo; chnngo tholr modo of living,
revolutionize their well established
habits; get Into a now game. It Is
not a nntural process. Thoro Is not
n business man in any of tho towns
that would relish tho thought of
making so drastic n reversal In all
his affairs.
Since this Is truo It Is patent that
tho problom In essentially ono for
tho farmors thomselvos to solvo,
with such cooperation nnd help nx
tho business men can legitimately
glvo thorn. Just tho nature of as
sistance which tho business men enn
glvo Is tho question they must settle
Ican't convict locnl men, but )ou ran
convict n stranger," Thoro Is evi
dence to sustain such 0 stntomem
That Is tho worst of It. It Is n de
claration thnt so far as Ontario Is
concerned wo havo ono law for the
homo folks, another for strangers
Thnt Is putting It baldly. It Ik
mightily unfair. It Is emphatically
un-American. Hut It Is truo.
Hut Onlnrlo Is not nn exceptional
plnco. It Is Just typical. What Is
truo here Is truo In every town
nbout us. If reports as they come
to tho local officials aro correct.
and wo believe they aro, there are
no moro boot-leggers in Ontario. In
proportion to thu population, than
thoro nro In any other main line
town In this section; or branch line
town olther. In fact wo ore told
that many of tho bootleggers and
moonshlno manufacturers operate
In tho Interior and como hero to
dlsposo of their product. It Is pa
tent thnt If Ontario men Just null
"buying they would find this 11 pro
fitless market and would stop com
ing. Wo don't look for this to happen
It Is expecting moro from human
naturo than experience warrants
Hut Blnco this Is not a probnbllltv
nnd tho boot-leggor nnd his custom
ers nro stilt with us, Ontarinus who
would llko to sco tho traffic stop
should dlssuado themselves thnt On
tario Is any worso Jthnn Its neigh

THU RATTLE AGAINST HOOZE
When tho 18th nmoudment was
passed tho American people, es
pecially that portion who had long
fought tho liquor traffic, conceived
tho Idea that John Harleycoru wns
down and out. Hut thoy hnvo found
that thin Is only rolntlvoly truo.
John II. may bo down, but decid
edly ho Is not out. Nor Is It nppnr
out nt this time that he over will
bo completely nut.
"So long as thoro nro nion, or wo
men who will buy tho stuff nnd pay
oxorhltant prices for Its sodurtlvo
Influouco, so long will thoro bo men,
nnd women, who will tnkn n chance
to make tho contraband nnd sell It
As a mattor of fact, whllo tho
public generally doog not so vlow
It; tho man who buys tho boozo Is
contributing to tho odds against
which tho offlcors battle as much
as tho boot logger lilmsolf.
Nolthor nro tho mon who buy
nlouo as allies of John H., ho has
n host of othors, Including tho men
nnd women culled upon to do Jury
duty who porslstontly turn looso
mon of whoso guilt, thoro Is no
doubt. This has been dono so ofton
