DAIRYING MKANS PKOSPKIUTY
Dairying Is going to be tho big
industry of tho Snake Ilivor valley,
especially tho Irrigated region
This is tho prediction of tho dairy
specialists who spent a week in
studying tho possibilities of this
section from Weiser to Ashton.
"Whether tho peoplo who arc
here now realize 'tho possibilities or
not, nevertheless, this is going to be
tho coming dairy section of the
United States",declarod J .H. Frand-
son, dairy editor of Capper's publi
cations, and formerly head of the
dairy division of tho University of
Nebraska, "For", ho continued, "If
they do not go Into tho dairy busi
ness themselves,-others will, come
hero and do so."
This is what the peoplo desire.
Thoy want someone to como here
to go into tho dairy buslnoss. Tho
farmers hore will not, or cannot en
tor It successfully. It Is believed
by tho specialists that not mora
than ono farmer in ten is suitable
for dairy husbandry unless brought
up In tho industry. In other words,
they declared that to succeed, tho
man who goes Into dairying must bo
"dairy-minded". Ho must, to be
dairy-minded, bo equipped with pa
tlonco, Industry, perseverance and
sufficient capital to make tho proper
start. Ho must also have ambition
to follow tho growth of his herd,
and possess a desire to see that tho
progony of his cows shows higher
milk producing ability than their
mothers. In brief, ho must bo a
dairyman.
On tho othor hand theso oxperts
doclarcd In thoir statos tlreio are
many men who do not measuro up
to theso qualifications who still
succood in their agricultural efforts
bocauso of tho fact that they have
cows, Whllo not primarily dairy
men thoy keep a fow cows on their
farms, and because of this fact
raise moro crops than thoy would
othorwlse.
Ono oxport, Reed Murray, secre
tary of tho Wisconsin Livestock
Broodor's association mado tho ns-
cortlon repeatedly that a farmor
could eot asldo sufficient land for
tho pasturo and caro of ten cows on
nny forty ncro tract ho had seen
horo, and still ralso as largo crops
as ho would If nil the land woro
given io crop production. Thus
tho Income rocolvod from tho milk
produced by tho ton cows would be
just that much additional earnings
for tho farm.
Tho reason given for tho spread
of tho dairy business Into this sec
tion is logical. Thoy point out, as
did Dr. II. A. Harding, formerly
dean of tho dairy dupartmont nt tho
Univorslty of Illinois, that Now
York was onco tho great dairy pro
ducts manufacturing state of tho
nation, now Wisconsin and Minne
sota have takon thnt distinction bo
causo tho growth of tho urban pop
ulation of Now York, has croatod
such a demand for whole milk that
tho farmers of that region cannot
porduco tho neodud surplus for
manufacturo. What Is truo of Now
York Is now' bocoming truo of tho
mlddlo west, nnd thoroforo tho con
tor of manufacture of dairy products
Is to movo wostward.
Tho soctlon of tho country which
can produce tho nocossary feeds tho
chonpost, and whoso pooplo will cm
tor into tho business, properly fin
anced, is bound to becomo that
next dairy contor. Idaho has deter
mined to maka that offort. Its
buslnoss mon are to back tho move
ment. Stops have boon taken to
croato a dairy hank provldod with
tho moans for financing tho farm
ers. Thoy are going to win in Ida
ho Just ns thoy hnvo won In thoir
irrigation campaigns. And they
havo takon Malheur comity Into
tho campaign. Wo will ho Included
In thoir publicity efforts. Wo havo
boon invltod to co-oporato with thorn
and in this wo aro fortunnto, for
to whatever the Idahoans turn their
hand they accomplish.
This effort is not a spectacular
one. It is ono that will require
years of effort. There must be
a great work done beforo the fruits
are so evident that tho unthinking
will recognize them. Yet It is only
such eforts that win permanently.
The dairy cow is tho only machine
that will turn alfalfa and corn sil
age into a permanently profitable
product. The margin Is not great
at times, it is true, but it is always
profitable. Dairy products alone
of thoso produced on tho farm havo
a record of not falling below the
normal price of production. Why
then should not the people of the
Snako Illver valley, the ranchers and
the business men unite in the effort
to stabllze their business, insure
their permanent prosperity through
tho establishment, on a large scale,
of tho dairy industry?
HUMAN FACTORS IN FLYING
Things That May Appear Small tn
Themselves Have Been Found to
Be of Importance. '
ELECTION CONTEST DROPPED
As expected for the past two
weeks, the Hall election contest fell
flat this week when W. S. U'Ren
of counsel for Mr. Hall announced
their abandonment of the fight.
In reality, tho fight was lost
when Judges Bingham and Kelloy
ruled that It is permissible for vot
ers to chango their registration on
election day and seek any ticket
they desire. This lost the contest
for Mr. Hall for it removed the only
ground upon which ho could de
clare illegal enough votes to re
verso tho count.
Under this ruling, however', what
has become of the primary system?
Is there any primary for the nomin
ation of candidates when nvowed
members of ono party can Invade
with impunity tho deliberations of
tho opposite party? Does not the
registering of tho vote on primary
day become in reality the election
day of tho state?
If this ruling is to be the law tho
State of Oregon Is holding two elec
tions whon only ono is needed, and
all party responsibility Is ended. If
this, practice is general over the
country, and apparently it is, tho
peoplo will soon declare their aban
donment of such a system-which Is
fundamentally dishonest.
Tho facts brought out in tho Hall
contest parallol tho statements made
by Missouri democrats who declare
that Jim Iteed was renominated in
their state by republicans who in
vaded tho democratic primary. If
republicans did that in Missouri they
aio consurnblo; so too, aro demo-
Xms who did so in Oregon, no mat
tor what Intpolled them so to do.
Whllo Oregonlans gonorally will np
provo of the abandonment of the
Hall caso, It cortainly brings no
pleasure to tho advocates of tho di
rect primary.

BA6S0N SEES END OF
LABOR DISTURBANCES
Wellcsley Hills, Mass., August
19, 1922. In viow of the newspa
per spaco recently taken by the coal
strike, the railroad strike and cer
tain textilo strikes, wa are prone to
think that strikes are very general
at the present time. Roger W. Bub
son, however, refutes thl opinion
in a statement issued today as fol fel fol
eows: "As a matter of fact, wi havo very
few strikes at the present time.
Ever since the war the striko curve
has been below the point which was
then called 'normal.' The fact thnt
wo have had three strikes of-a largo
dimension blinds us to this basic
truth. Two of these strike, the
coal strike and the rail shopmen s
strike aro in industries which havo
not been deflated, so far as war
time wages go. The other, the
cotton textile strike, has been par
tially deflated and the trouble Is
about going the rest of the dis
tance. The difficulties in these
industries are then-cases of belated
panies in

Danger of Falling From Gracs
Negligible on the Part of Prac-
ticer on Trombone.
Mr. Ellsha Johnson's mind wns
troubled on n certain point of con
science nnd he determined to seek his
pastor's advice.
"Do you think It would be wrong
for a Methodist to play In u brass
band?" he nsked, bis open and In
genuous countennnce filled with eager
ness and dnubt.
"Well," said tho punton, slowly, "It's
for yourself you're asking, I suppose,
Ellshn?"
Mr. Johnson admitted that the case
wns his own.
"And what Instrument had you
fixed In your mind?" nsked. the minis
ter. "Well," said Ellsha, with a grad
ually clearing face. "I kind of thought
I'd tuckle the trombone, If you snid It
wns nil right, and I wouldn't be falling
from grace to do It."
"Ellsha," said the minister, "If jou
can llnd nny ono who Is willing to
pass through the tlery ordenl of head
ing you practice, I think you inuy
risk the danger of falling from grace
with a good courage." Milwaukee

Too New to Count.
I accompanied a doctor on one of
his country trips recently. A little
girl came out of the house where we
stopped and stiuck up a conersntlon.
I asked her muuo nnd she told me,
nnd then began enumerating the rest
of the family. She named tdjie In nil,
but Just ns she bad finished an older
sister came out of the house carrying
a tiny baby.
"Well," I exclaimed, "you didn't tell
me there was n baby, loo." i
"Oh, no, sir," she unswered. "We
hasn't started countln' him jet."
Chicago Tribune.
"For the most part labor is not
striking, wages are being gradually
let down to lower levels and tho dh'
position of men is to keep at work.
There is always a rise in the strike
curve during the summer. We are
having that rise now. Nevertheless
we are not having the number or
the wide distribution of strikes
which we had last year -or at any
time since 1916. We will not have
a repetition of those conditions this
year. The strike curve is nearer
normal than almost anything else in
industry.
"As to the future, the answer is
to be looked for in conditions..
What made the tremendous wave
of strikes which marked the years
1915 to 1920.? The simple fact
that there were more Jobs than
men; that the cost of living was
going up;that labor was In a posi
tion to force its issue. No such
prospect Is in view for the years
right ahead. Therefore, we need
not look for a repetition of tho
strike conditions of the war days.
Thoso days are passed. Neverthe
less, we are going to have strikes.
There are going to be a good many
of them. They are going to he
called for reasons other than the
ones that backed the strikes ofwar
time. Theso men went on strike
rageous, confident bouyant. They
were soldom disappointed. In the
future, just ahead, they are going
to strike against wage cuts, against
attempts to rule out the unions.
They aro not going to be as success
ful as they wore in the war time
strikes.
"In consequence of this the real
question of the next few years Is as
to the frame of mind which Labor
Is sng to have. In contrast with
tho bouyant confidence of tho war
years, Labor is now going to be
sullop, revengeful, resentful. "What
they do not gain in open victories,
they are going to be disposed to ac
complish by indirect means. A man
who cannot get his pay raised can
stall on the job. He can get the
"host of his boss by all kinds of nas
ty tricks in the factory.
Theso are short-sighted policies.
In tho long run they work to tho
disadvantage of Labor. Still, they
aro the usual re-course of Labor
when It is met by obstacles that do
not yield.

Right here is tho problem of the
employer of tho next few years.
How shall ho meet tho new temper
of Labor? In my opinion that ugly
tompor must be met by open deal-.
iug, by setting before labor the
facts under which business is done
and by admitting Labor progressive
ly to a greater -hare In manage
ment of tho elements of the Indus
trial rotation which most directly
concern Labor, That is to say:
Tho tlmo to develop personnel de
partments, set up profit-sharing,
organize shop committees and all
of tho rest of the things that be
long to this class Is, not when La
bor Iii in tho saddle and holds a gun
at the omployer himself is in the
saddle and is in the position to dic
tate torms.
"Tho employer does not have to
take this reasonable course, it he
does not want to, He can use these
next years to pile up trouble for
hlmaolt and his successors in days
to come, If, however, the employer
is wise, he will take advantage of
his position to sot up tho best kind
ot machinery, with which to de
fend himself and his Industry. It
is not a question ot strikes In the
Immediate future. It will be a
question ot sabotage. Sabotage,
however, is worse than striked. It
demands its own treatment.
"Is view of theso conditions, in
vestors should giro more thought
which they purchase se
curities. An examination of cor
poration earnings shows that the
labor policy is the great determin
ing factor between profit and loss
during normal times. This especi
ally applies to various -concerns In
the same line of Industry. They all
pay approximately the same price
for raw materials; they all have
practically the same hours of work,
but one company succeeds and the
other falls. Statlstlces show that
the difference Is very largely due "to
their labor and financial policies.
Therefore, conservative Investors
will seek securities of companies
which havo a broad-minded" labor
policy, and which companies are
now developing plans which will be
of use when the next period of
prosperity comes. vIco cannot be
gathered in tho summer, but must
be put up in the winter when it Is
not needed. The same principle
applies to labor. Labor troubles
are very difficult to settle when thoy
occur. Wise manufacturers prepare,
during such times as these, preven
tative measures so that labor trou
bles will not occur when times are
good."
General business Is holding Its
own according "to the index of tho
Babsonchart. It shows activity to
day at 7 per cent below normal as
compared with 9 per cent last week
and minus 18 per cent last year.
