Tribute Is Paid
To Farmer
Edward ; T. ifarchettl Says, They
Have Sacrificed . for Nation.
By Edwla T. Marehettt
Field Expert Department of Aerie ul tare
Considerable has been written In refer
enca to the aaerificea of business enter
prises i of the nation during- tbe recent
crisis, but little credit has been given
to our vast grower population, whose
problems, equally tremendous in many
Instances, were left to the caprice of an
uncertain future ; whoee unstinted patri
otism contributed materially to adding
new luster to the shield of democracy,
and who are aow holding- in leash the
forces of anarchs and -chaos by reliev
ing; want, hunger and .dissatisfaction.
Unfavorable weather conditions In this
state, j causing extremely' ': short crops,
contributed to Increased cost of produc
tion and high prices of stock feeds, and
the profits of the farmer, even in the
most favored areas, have in many in
stances been below those of pre-war
years, and where crop damage -was most
severe actual, losses have i been experi
enced. In spite of thesev reverses. In
very farm community Liberty bonds
and ether war contributions have been
greatly oversubscribed. Although agri
culture in Oregon was in dire need
of its sops; to assist in maintaining the
great contribution demanded of it in
the way of increased production, yet no
class of people' was more liberal in offer
ing them for the first line of defense so
that democracy might survive for pos
terity. The t- patriotic response of the
farmers in this state to every demand
imposed uporf them will . continue to
illuminate the page of the state's bril
liant history as a stimulus to future
generations. I .

GROWERS TO PLANT WHEAT
BECAUSE OF THE PRICE
jj
Yakima. Marsh 14. Botlcibors who are can
vassing the reservation to secure acreage for
sugar beets are surprised to find that many
farmers, are planning to sow wheat this year
and reap the benefit of the government guaran
teed price. F. E. IX Sellem. one of the solicit
ors, estimates that 75 to SO per cent of (the
farmers ha ha visited report they are giving up
other crop largely this year to grow wheat. They
figure that the wheat market ia secure and not
subject to fluctuation and that they can grow
tbe wheat with, less trouble with the labor mar
ket and consequently lea suspense. Yakima
county produced the largest crop of wheat in
it history last year but 1 due this: year to es
tablish a new high record.

Spring Lamb Are Available
- Since The Journal's announcement that the
.trade was seeking contracts on spring lambs for
'the eastern market around $25. there has been
quite fair offering by the country to. contract.
Now it develops that when the trade sees the
stock in eight it Is much less anxious te take
hold. The result is that the present belief of the
trade is that spring stock will not open . above
$18 and $20. compared with $20 a tha initial
figure received a yesr ago. As yet there ia no de
mand for arrivals of spring lambs, and none are
wanted until killers are ready for the Easter
trade. ,

considerably out of line with what other market

FIRE MAY BRING
: CHANGE IN CODE
(Continued From Pas One)
especially when steam and smoke
screen the entire building. Some 'build
ings are already so equipped but fur
ther steps along this line will doubtless
be recommended to the council for In
corporation in the' building code.
Mora Exits Are Seeded
The Question of one outlet fort em
ployes from a basement ..is also under
the critical eye of officials. It is
claimed that most Portland buildings
have but a single approach to the street
from the basement, and that it is often
through the main entrance or corridor,
In case this outlet is cut off by fire or
steam, those entrapped In the basement
have but a slight chance of escape. The
matter of more avenues to the street is
under consideration. ; ;-. - f 1 ,
A city boiler ' Inspector Is suggested
as a result of the explosion. It Is sug
gested that the pipes or boiler may have
been in poor condition and that the eity
should protect the lives of it citlsens
by thoroughly inspecting all boiler In
the city. At present the insurance com
panies provide the only boiler inspec
tion, it is' stated. Depreciation of prop
erties Is often the result of a system
said to be In vogue among engineers
whereby they have a stated sum on
which to keep the boilers and other ap
paratus tn condition, the remainder of
which ia kept by the engineer, It is
charged that they frequently allow tbe
machinery to become unsafe by failure
to provide new parts. '
Will Make Thorough Investigation
"We will make a thorough Investiga
tion of the entire matter," Mr. Plummer
said, "and recommendations for amend
ment of the building code will be made
in any Instance In which we believe we
can safeguard the lives of Fortland peo
ple. The sbutoff Is one recommendation
that will in all probability be made, and
others will follow as they are found ex
pedient.' -
