becalm) this price was established
by the Utah Hlimip Bhearcra' Union,
who voluniurlly cut from 17 1-2

The hoavy full rains produced t
luxuriunt growth of gran and all
lock taken up In the fall were In
prime condition. Tula waa respon
sible for an early maturing of all
feed-lot Bluff. Tractlcally every
thing got fat this year. As a reaull
there has been an early marketing
of pen-fed animals and a fine growth
ot wool and a bumper lamb, calf
and colt crop will be Insured.
Stockmen are optimistic. They
bave been able to get along without
much money and bave by muaus of
trading auioiiKxl themselves and In
Some liiHtunces giving tbelr belp an
Interest In the stock, been able to
squoete through. They bave been
succeHsful in cutting the overhead.
Labor hits objected but little, know
ing that this was absolutely neces
sary. A peculiar situation Is pres
ent in respect to cattle. Feeders
are selling at market points for
practically as much per pound as
killers, luUlcuitng confidence in the
future of the beet industry.
The horse murket ia Improving.
There Is considerable demand for
atock to take the place ot trucks
and tractors. A number of mares
will be bred this spring. Farmers
fuel the need ot raising sufficient
colts to replace the oldor horses,
worn out or sold to avoid deprecia
tion, Seevral years ago, horse rais
ing enabled the Central Eastern Ore
gon farmers to pull through severul
, short-crop seasons. The present
price for grulns and hay bring horse
expense per year below $100, Smull
tractors coat at least $600 (cover
ing operation, depreciation and re
pairs) annually, hence more than
six head of horses will have to ba
replaced In order to pay out under
present conditions,
The 1'nlverslty of Illinois recent
ly mude a tractor and horse survey.
It was found that 72 percent of the
horse maintenance constitutes feed
costs and that the grains used would
be approximately 2D. 6 bushels of
burloy, 37.8 bushels of oats and 2
tons of hay and 170 days access to
outside pasture. One hundred trac
tor user were Interviewed and the
farm work was put Into three divis
ions: "Tractor Work," "Doubtful
Tractor Work", and "Non-Tractor
Work." Approximately 76 percent
of the work on the average farm
was In the horse and doubtful-tractor
column. None of the 100 farm
ers using tractors gave Increased
crop yields as an advantage (or the
tractor. One may conclude that the
average (arm must.be larger than
240 acres before tractors can be suc
cessfully substituted for horses, then
only tor part of the work.
Kusteru Oregon stock growers ar
determined to pull through the pres
ent period of depression. Hunkers
state that there has been enough
money saved during the past six
months .to recoup much of the Ions
that hus been sustained because of
growers not selling at top prices.
Htockmen realize that the only way
In the long run that one can lose in
the stock game Is to lose the stock.
This year there has been no disease
loss, neither hus there been a storm
loss, nor has there been any consid
erable amount of loss from forced
liquidation. If there ever have been
loses In the stock Industry, either
the stockman or the banker have
been at fault, the stockman, perhaps
because he bus given up, the banker
because ha has lost faltb. Any
stockman that has stood off failure
until now is surely through the
worst of It. The bsnkor who has
helped him Is now well able to see
the fruits of his good Judgment.
Federal reports show that there
are ten million less domestic ani
mals In the United States thun a
year ago. Breeding stock is sure to
be In much demand. There are good
reasona for believing thut the end
ot the present decline has now been
reached and that the Upward trend
thut the market Is showing Is to bn
permanent.

The Kriilor Arch
The senior class memorial Is now
being constructed. It will be com
pleted this week. The practice in
this school has been that each grad
uating class should leave a memor
lul. In the preceding year each
class laid a section ot concrete walk,
commencing from the main building,
until now the walk bis been complet
ed up to the gate. Consequently,
the class of '21 has undertaken the
construction of the arch over the
gateway. This Is the most costly
and distinctive memorial left by any
graduating class In the school; and
It will remain unsurpassed for sev
eral years to come. The fund to
pay for these memorials are raised
In various ways, usually in the Jun
ior year, when the class play I al
ways given.
The first of the senior speeches
were given on Friday morning, Pete
Augustine and Veva Bolter making
the first speeches. Before gradua
tion, every senior must appear be
fore the assembly unless some part
is taken In the commencement pro
gram or the Baldwin oratorical con
test. After the two senior addres
ses, Mr. Myers was invited to speak
before the student body. In his
talk he urged the students to take
greater interest in forenslcs. He il
lustrated the value of early train
ing on the platform, by showing how
oratorical ability was used to good
sdvsiilage In the slate legislature,
where he had been during the last
session, and he said that the men
who were meeting with greatest suc
cess were the ones thst gave senior
speeches. So be urged that every
member of the class would welcome
the opportunity to get this practice. '
