OF NECESSITIES IS URGENT NEED AT THE PRESENT TIME J t FAIR ESS PROFIT ENTIAL IS FOR AGRICULTURISTS President Pryor of American Livestock Association Declares : Farmers Don't Ask Too Much. CLASS DECLARED PATRIOTIC Grangers Will Not Be Found Wanting When Real Test of Loyalty Comes, Is Assertion. New Zealand Clip Coming Into MarketJ The new wool clip la coming; Into the markets and is being- graded and valued by the Mew. Zealand government valuers or appraisers and found to measure Up well with last year's clip. Already some 6009 or 8000 bales of the new clip have been valued and placed In the warehouses for shipment to the British government, which has taken over the entire wool turolui of the country.- There are still large quantities of last year a clip In the warehouses of Mew Zealand that have not gone forward be cause of the shortage of shipping. How ever, It Is expected that the stocks will be cleared in time for the new clip. which will not fully come forward until well into 191S. 1NAGE DRA OREGON TO MAKE BIG STRIDES Increased production will follow if the farmer is Riven a reasonable profit, de clares I. T. Pryor, president of the American Livestock association. "The, urgent need of the time," he - said, "is increased production of the necessities of life. : The impression is gaining ground among the population of our cities, especially the manufactur ing centers, that the farmers and ranch era are making exorbitant profits from the operation of the farms and ranches of this country. I fear that men high up in authority are lending a willing ear to this Idea. "We are criticised as not being patri otic because In such times as these we . want to produce livestock at a reason- ' able profit. In my opinion, the first and .' highest proof of patriotism is to give our . sons to the cause for which we are fighting; the second test is giving one's time without compensation, which many . patriotic men and women are doing ; the . third is subscriptions to the Red Cross, ths army T. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., and the last Is the purchase of Liberty bonds. It would be an unfair test of patriotism to expect farmers and stock -inen to produce at a loss that which our allies and our army must have. Give, us a reasonable profit, and the test of our patriotism will come when we dispose of that profit, and I wager my existence that the farmer and stockman of this country wilb meet the issue in the right spirit. "Farmers and stockmen are not lack IncJn patriotism; they loyally respond ed to the call for Increased production. All that they ask is that the strong arm of our government protect them from the disasters which may flow from ab normal production, or other causes over which they have no control. Such pro tection is Imperative in order to insure that increased production which the government seeks. Consumers seem to be of the opinion that farmers and stockmen should raise all the food prod ucts needed, regardless of the price. The food administration can readily ascer taln the average reasonable cost of producing the different kinds of live stock and Its plain duty Is to exercise . all the powers it possesses to see that such prices are paid as will cover the .cost, with a reasonable profit." DURING IS YEAR Representative Gathering at Cor- vallis Taken to Be Indica tion of Interest. FEDERAL GOVERNMEN XPECTS tO PURCHASE $1,000,000 OF SEED Farmers of Montana, North Da kota and Texas Will Be Al lowed to Purchase for Cash. T ' ' OREGON MINES YIELD UP FORTUNES YEARLY .v..-.v ; That drainage development ltf Oregon Is well under way and la to make great strides the coming year Is evident from the representative gathering and lively Interest shown as well as the construc tive program outlined at the annual meeting of the State Dsalnage associa tion at Corvallls. President W. J. Kerr, in opening the joint 'session of the Oregon Irrigation congress and the State Drainage associa tion, pointed out the growth and Import ance of land reclamation as follows : "The area reclalmable by Irrigation and drainage in this state is over five million acres; an area greater than the total acreage In Improved ra'rm lands at the time of the last census when 4,274, 803 acres were reported In Oregon. "The experiment station has conducted general soil surveys to determine the feasibility of possible irrigation or drain age districts. Nearly half a million acres of wet lands and over one and one half million' acres of arid lands have been examined In this way during the past four years. This has helped to establish credit needed to develop feasible dis tricts. "The extension service has assisted in the organization of numerous drainage districts. About 100,000 acres have been organized Into drainage districts during the past year. During the past seven years 134 farm drainage systems have been designed, embracing $1,039,000 feet or - approximately 200 car loads of tile These are nearly all In operation and serve 11,985 acres. The estimated In creased productiveness .due to drainage of the area Is $10 an acre or a total of 4119,850 annually. Drainage activities have about doubled during the past year." The United States government win purchase, through money appropriated by congress, approximately $1,000,000 worth of seed to be held until spring:, when It will be sold for cash to farmers in Montana, North Dakota and Texas, according: to a' statement made by Pro fessor F. S. Cooley of Montana State college, who has returned from a con ference at Washington of representatives of states affected hy drouth last season. He said : f "The seed win be sold at cost, for cash, to those who require It. It will be seen, that this government, seed sup ply does not contemplate the financing of seed purchased by farmers. It will, however, save the profits charged by dealers, and the freight out and back on seed kept within the state. It should be understood that this seed is to be sold for cash and that purchasers will have to finance their seed buying without fed eral aid. Previous reports, Professor Cooley said, had been to the effect that the gov ernment would advance the money to purchase the seed to the farmers, who would repay it out of the returns from next season's crops.

It was agreed by all speakers that, while a portion of the crop could be bulked, the lack of faculties would make It necessary to have a considerable quantity of sacks to handle the crop In the county. A resolution was adopted In which It was urged that farmers, in so tar as pos sible, bulk their grain. The resolution also pledged the farmers union to co operate with the farmers In this and other northwestern states In an effort to bring the price of sacks down to a more reasonable furore, urging the United States government to put into use vessels which are now said to be available at the Philippine Islands to transport sacks from Calcutta, In the belief that the competition tn bottoms thus afforded would result In lowering; the price of charters, which Is given as the chief reason for the exorbitant price or sacaa HIGH PRICE OF FISH The E. and E. mill at Bourne Courtesy OW.

The Mary's River Logging company, operat ing on the river near Peek, has a force of 75 men working on contracts for rail road construction timber and 2,000,000 feet of fir logs are being put out monthly and the foreman states that 22,000,000 feet will be the output, this year. The company has a nine mile tract of first class fir. The logs are taken down the rivers and delivered to Salem and New berg. m New Zealand Flocks Are on Increase The estimated' percentage of lambing for the 1917 season In New Zealand Is about 88 per cent, as compared with about 88 per cent for 1918. This means a good gain since there is an increase of between 200.000 and 300,000 ewes for the year. Notwithstanding the large number of sheep and lambs slaughtered during the past three years the flocks of New Zealand are; on the Increase, and the outlook seems promising. FOREST SERVICE IS ONE OF BEST FRIENDS WOOL GROWERS HAVE Frank Hagenbarth, Head of Na tional Association, Discusses Changes Sheepmen Desire. FARMERS "The forest service Is one of the best friends the woolgrowers have at the present time," said Frank J. Hagen barth, president of the National Wool growers' association. In referring to the regulations governing the use of the na tional reserves for the grazing of sheep and cattle. "The changes in present regulations desired by the sheepmen, he said, "could be brought about with out material Interference with the privi leges enjoyed by the stockmen. "A limit should be placed on the cut ting down of the number of sheep al lowed In the reserves In order to accom modate the demands of the cattlemen, and a maximum should be established for both. The sheepmen have been somewhat discouraged because of pref erence given to cattle, and at the pres ent rate at which ranchers are going Into the raising of cattle, within 20 years there will be practically no sheep In the forest reserves. "It Is an economic question aa to OF IN BULK, OREGON MUST HANDLE GRAIN ASSERTION WASHINGTON TO BE INQUIRED NTO which industry Is the better for the country at large, and not one which should be considered from an individual or selfish standpoint. - Cattle production In the United States shows an increase, while a decrease is noted in sheep. This condition exists In face of the fact that the sheep Industry brings Into the coun try two crops of outside money that received for wool and that received for mutton. 'The country Is today short on wool production at home, last year showing a production of only 275,000,000 pounds, while we consume twice that amount. The question Is whether It Is wise to further deerease the production of sheep from a wool production standpoint.'

Government Official Says That Sixty Million Sacks Have Been Commandeered for Army. "Oregon farmers must turn to the bulk method of handling grain." said J. C. Hawkins of the United States depart ment of agriculture, cooperating with the Oregon Agricultural college, who in company with a co-worker, W. B. Old ham, Is spending two weeks In and near Heppner. "The - United States government has commandeered 60,000,000 sacks for army purposes," continued Mr. Hawkins, "and last year there were shipped Into this from Calcutta only 19.000,000 with the Weekly Oregonian, and an ad-!' vertlslng agency prepared the copy for both, one a duplicate of the other. Re plies to the advertisements have been Indexed, and in counting those which mentioned The Journal the number was found to be 60, and those which stated they had read the ad. in the Oregonian were 17. The story Is its own inter preter. It demonstrates the strength of The 8emi-Weekly Journal and Its broad circulation In this territory felling for 25 cents a piece and I doubt If they can be had at that price on ac count of the shortage." Mr. Hawkins advises every farmer to hold on to all the sacks he has whether first or second hand, and ship out all his grain In bulk. With government encouragement, ex tensive experiments will be made with a view to reviving the growing of flax in Scotland. . In connection with the high price of fish the Washington state flab commts islon Is trying- to determine just where uuuwiv ivivu ion in a xonnai state ment shows' that the fisherman are now getting as high as 14 cents a pound for their catch. The proposition has been taken up with National Food Director Herbert Hoover and his department Is now busy on the subject. The statement of the commission follows : "Investigations tend to show that the fishermen who take the flab from the water are the ones who receive the lion's share of the profits. Last month (December) the price paid for fall or chum salmon varied from IS cents to 41 each, or about 10 to 12 Vs cents a pound. Steelheads brought around 14 cents per pound. The fishermen were paid 14 cents a pound at Ketchikan for Alaska Chlnooks; adding; transportation and handling charges brings hls up to 17 cents a pound, x. o. D. Seattle. This condition can not be completely rem edied without cooperation with the Ca nadian government. "A fish boat gone from Prince Rupert eight days brought in 17,000 pounds of halibut for which S21S9 was paid. The expenses of the crew of four men were $109, including extra gear and share of vessel $435. Each man received net $141.60. or $41.67 per day." So far the talk of amending the wheat' price act tias taken no definite shape. Senator' McNary has been studying the question, and has been conferring with Food Administrator Hoover. Thero to still much doubt as to the construction to be placed upon the food control act. If it remains unamended. - That act fixes for the coming year a government guarantee of $2 a bushel at the "principal Interior primary mar keta." Is there any "such animal" on the Pacific coast? Portland and Seat tle are -not "Interior" markets. Pendle ton and Spokane are not "principal" raarketa At least, that Is likely to be the verdict. 1 . One idea is that If the word "Interior" were stricken out. Portland 'and Seattle might be designated, it the food admin istration were willing. Another sugces tlon Is that the words "and terminals? might be added after markets. Others believe that nothing congress may provide will be effective in secure ins a primary market tn the. Northwest except by designation of the city . or cities in the act. and there are manifest difficulties in the way of that. The food administration believes in naming only one baste market, as was don last year, and Is likely to ask that the word "markets" be changed to "mar ket." so It will be left with a free han to name differentials at other points, as it did In 1917. varv Inverter in Wir Beitee Ortinektas si srlrtas eaethar sail la fliif1! eolfia.

Hareosrt Portland Is rapidly recoverlne from a period of depression which enveloped iu Dusmess area (or a time subse quent to the declaration of war. In fact. It may be truthfullv said that the disease has been almost en tirely eradicated, and that the natlent ould be now entirely recovered ex cept for the activities of the Ancient and Disreputable Knockers' association wntcn, in its last agonies of dlssolu tion, continues to wag its decadent Jaw in pro-German fashion, doing what little It can to stay the progress of the city. At present one or two of its mm Ders find occasion for aeltatlon of mind over the fact that a new factory 13 about to be established in Portland, and that the enterprise will erect Its own building and be free from the burden of rent. And. coinci- dently, it will manufacture an article already sold In Portland m great quantities, but which comes here from eastern factories, and these RasDlns: members of the Knockers happen to De selling' this product. ' How They Knock It is therefore to their selfish in terests to Btay the hands of the build ers of the contemplated factory. Their first efforts were attempts to persuade the promoters of the new enterprise that "It wouldn't pay to buUd a factory, of that kind here '." This falling they are now wobbling their jaws in disparagement of the article to be manufactured. "It is not up to the standard of the eastern product." they declare, but. peculiarly. this is met with actual orders from New Tork cfty. Detroit, Michigan, Illi nois, and other points where the Port land made, article has been in use. and where its superiority is known, the buyers asserting that "You have the best thing of its kind on earth!" The bill ' for one of tlfese orders. when filled, will amount to more than $160,000! It came from New York, and a smaller one of over 25,000 from the same city, was received only a week ago. Work Is Atsared Notwithstanding- the jawsmiths com mittee of the association, still on the job, the factory will be erected in Portland. Work will be started within 90 days, and the factory will be run ning full blast before midsummer. It will start with probably 100 men, with 600 as likely, prior to the olose of the first year of its existence. So the jawsmlth committee of the Ancient and, Disreputable Knockers' as sociation may as well retire to its basement, mop Its fevered brow and let flow its odiferous and briny tears! Factory Produces Various Articles The Portland Basket A Handle com pany Is now manufacturing everything in the line of wood baskets,- clothes hampers, laundry baskets, bassinets, market baskets, etc The wood baskets are among the exceedingly useful of the company's productions. In handling pithy fir firewood, they protect not only the hands, but the clothes from the sticky substance and prevent the gum and litter from soiling the floor. They are a real convenience, and those who use them once never will go back to the antiquated ' and filthy habit of carrying wood in their arms. ' CEMENT PLANT AND IRON WORKS CLOSE AT HAND FOR WORK Concrete Is Used in Norway and in California as Very Econom-. ical Material for Ships. Clever From the Detroit Tree Press "Is that young man you are going with clever V Surprising ' progress has been made in Norway in the construction of concrete ships for deep sea service. The first one launched was a BOO ton freighter pro pelled by an oil burning Diesel engine at a speed of about 11H miles an hour. The ship made the trip from Christiana, Nor way, to an English port and return with out a mishap. There are now, in the same Norwegian yards, three other con crete steamships in process of construc tion, one of 1000, one of MOO and one of 4000 tons. The interesting factor of this (type of construction Is the economical use of steel. The frame work Is fashioned of two walls of metal lath placed parallel some two Inches apart, supported in po sition by thin metal bars. Into this Is poured the concrete mixture, some of which presses through the perforations of the lath. This soon hardens and con stitutes a solid wall, true to any shape desired. Being poured in between the metal lath walla, the concrete, which Is pressed through the perforations when hardened, forms rough knobs, and these act as anchors or supports for the fin ishing coat, which gives the ships its at tractive and workmanlike appearance. The part of the hull below the water line Is rubbed down to a marble polish finish, and this reduces the "skin" fric tion to a minimum. Bmildisg la San FraseUee likewise waterproof. The length of the raft could be as desired, by placing any number of these cylinders end-to-end. and its width by placing them slde-by-slde. To prevent the raft from pitching or rolling in a rough sea, each cylinder should be provided, a shipbuilder ex plains, with a thin keel or fin extending along the under side, and of sufficient depth to maintain stability. Hudson Maxim, Inventor of the rapid firearm, is now before the senate ship building committee presenting his plans for an unstnkable ship and one which will withstand any torpedo attack. He asserts that the construction of such vessels is not a problem for ship archi tects' solution, but for an explosive ex pert.' The central Idea, he adds, is to minimise and nullify the effect of the torpedo explosion. He says that the con crete framework will readily lend Itself to the absorption of the gases, thus nulli fying and equalising the effect of an ex plosion, rendering the expected destruc tive effect harmless. On this lino he advocates a reinforced concrete covering for all ships below the water line. As to the rafts, the cheapness and rapidity of construction of the reinforced cylinders would allow those sent across the ocean to remain, as it would cost less to pro vide new ones than to tow those used back.
