' The league Is a voluntary, coopera

' Oregon and the extreme southern bor
der of Washington.

Its purposes, briefly stated, are :
' 1. To make thorough and scientific
Study into the conditions and costs of
mlllc production.
" 2. To take steps leading to the bet-
- feed, and manner and method of con
ducting dairies.
3. To seek thorough Information on
legislation, existing and proposed, which

6. To conduct cooperative market

leacue as a whole through which the
individual members dispone of milk
produced by ihem. Copy of contract
form la herewith attached, together wlw
a list of officer h and directors.
The Oregon Dairymen's league was
organized during the latter part of the
world war ppriod when the dairy in
dustry seemed threatened with destruc
tion by (a 1 the abnormally high prices
of all supplies and of labor, and (b) by
the prices for milk and products which
were far below the cout of production.
The first meetihe 'f dairymen to
i-uiiBiaer me emergency was held In
Portland on August JO, 1917. At that
meeting, the late W. w. Cnttnn. w r
-Ayerv then federal food administrator
for Oregon, and William M. Dadd were
. among those who presented facts which
; bad tno effect of crystalising the con
elusion that measures for preservation
Were Imperative.
TheS Oregon Dairymen's league, con
sequently, was organized on September
Zl. 1917,
In the 'meantime the official atten

grave danger threatening the milk sup
ply. Of the city and Mayor George L.
Baker had appointed a special municipal
milk, commission, composed of Henry
K. Reed, William L. Brewster and Mrs.
YV lit Ayer,
" This commission, after extended in
quiry, recommended that the producers
reoelve a price of $3.80 a hundred pounds
of milk testing 3.8 per cent butter fat,
t. O. b. Portland. This recommendation
v.m adopted and became effective by
, common consent on October 1. 1918
On February 1. 1919, the producers
voluntarily reduced the price to $3.1'0 a
hundred pounds and on April 1, sequent,
to - 3.00, the reductions haVing been
renred Poss'o'e by the "grass season"
and the correspondingly increased flow
of milk.
As the -demand for milk in an cltv
, vsrles under the influence of many con
ditions, provisions TOiist be made to
meet maximum requirements. Tliun
ordinarily, there Is a milk surplus which
must be disposed of at butterfat prices
1 he producers met the loss due to sur
plus by pro-rating arnrintr lhnm.i.
Tn'"AnH8 rendered the price actually 20
to 30 cents-a hundred pounds under the
announced price.
On July 1, 1919, the drought of sum
' jner having reduced the pasturage and
increased Uie cost of feed, a price of
f. . 0 undred pounds became effective,
this price having been deemed by the
body of the- league, not only necessary
but materially under the cost of pro
duction, figures having been produced
to show that the actual cost of produc
tion was an average of $4 or more
a, hundred pounds.
At this time so short was the supply

THEY have to be fostered, cared for and
encouraged until they get a good start.
But once they start to bear fruit, they "are the
source of wealth and prosperity for all of us.
Industries are no longer for the autocrats
and the "landed gentry." Fundamentally
they benefit the workers they make jobs
they give us all the opportunity to earn a
good living and to advance and prosper in
proportion to our ability, energy and am
bition. America is a great country because
of lier great industries. Oregon is rapidly
becoming a great state because of her great

consent, the price of milk agreed upon
as 33.90 a hundred pounds to the pro
ducers, this figure being 10 cents a
hundred pounds less than the amount
many dairymen deemed necessary dur
ing the winter months in order to re
main in business.
The league was at first disposed to
recommend that the increase to pro
ducers should not be followed by cor
responding increase in the amount paid
by consumers. But in view of the fact
that the plant for handling surplus, or
ganized under the name of Oregon Milk
Producers, Inc., had shown substantial
losses in all but two months, it was
granted that the representations by the
dealers that their own increased costs
warranted larger revenues, contained
the elements of justice.
The Oregon Dairymen's league ad
heres to the theory that the producer
is entitled to the cost of production
plus a legitimate profit. Average cost
of production has not yet been repre
sented in the prices received by pro
ducers, but without the cooperative
marketing organization of the league
not only such improvements as have
been noted been impossible but the
dairy Industry as a whole would have
been, we believe, too much impaired
to continue its functions of public
service.
We believe that we have acted at all
times In a way only to meet the mani
fest emergency and with full considera
tion of the rights and interests of the
consuming public.
Should you desire further Informa
tion we will gladly furnish it. All our
records and accounts are open to the
inspection of yourself or accredited rep
resentatives. Yours sincerely.

Umatilla Farmers
Waging Campaign ,
Against Rabbits
Umatilla, Oct 25. County Agricultur
ist Fred Benyon reports an interesting
and successful meeting in Umatilla at
the late organization known as the farm
bureau. The farmers are lined up for
constructive work In an effort to remedy
some existing evils.
One of the biggest problems confront
ing the farmer is rabbit extermination.
Many persons signed up for vast quan
tities of poison to be used in a drive
against the dreaded pest. Each Sunday
Is set aside as a day for carrying out
drives in the vicinity of Umatilla, In
this Way several thousand rabbits are
killed each week.
Fruit problems wijl come up for con
sideration in due time. Cheaper dairy
feed, better transportation facilities and
better dairy herds were discussed by
the farmers.
Miss May Harmon, home demonstra
tion agent, also discussed many prob
lems pertaining to rural life.

Oregon Farmer Used 300 Tons
From Gold HilhPlant and
Recognizes Benefit.
Corvallls, Oct. 25. "In using lime
stone we do not expect an increase Of
the wheat or oat crop that year, but
expect to . sweeten the soils so that
clover or other legumes will thrive, and
then we know that the grain crops
following will be better."
So 6ays C. F. Gilbert of Shaw, who
has recently purchased and used 300
tons of ground limestone from the state
owned plant at Gold Hill, in reply to
inquiries made by Dr. A. B. Cordley,
secretary of the state lime board and
director of the agricultural college ex
periment station.
TRIAL CONVINCES GILBERT
Mr. Gilbert has been using what lime
he was able to get for the last six years
and thinks that he has confirmed by
his results the teaching of the best
agricultural authority on the value of
lime.
The ground limestone was applied
with a spreader which handled the dry
product without . any trouble. Some
allowed to get wet caused trouble in
spreading.
"Where lime was used several years
ago clover gnew, and the succeeding
crops were better," says Mr. Gilbert.
"Results are also noticeable this year
with vetch on soils limed several years
ago."
CLAYEY LOAM TREATED
The land limed with benefit was
clayey loam, red hill soil, and acid.
Lirno was used at the rate of 2 to -j
tons per acre. On lands limed in June,
1919, corn or vetch will be grown in
192"0. Asked if lie expects to use more
lime, he says he intends to use much
more in the future if the price is not
too high.
Mr. Gilbert has seen a good deal in
the newspapers about closing the lime
plant, and says that he believes many
farmers are now in doubt as to whether
orders will be filled promptly. He hopes
that the farmers will make such use
of the plant as will keep It in operation,
but says a good many are waiting to
see results.

ject In farm bureau meetings, several
farmers in various parts of the county
have expressed a desire to act as dem
onstrators. The county agent has, ac
cordingly, ordered one ton, to be dis
tributed under his direction "on acre
plots with adjoining acre cheek plots as
a basis for comparison. If good results
are obtained it is expected that the at
tention of all alfalfa growers will be
drawn to the results of such demonstra
tions by luto tours, field meetings and
publicity in the press.
In Central Oregon an increase of one
ton of hay per acre has been obtained
on 3000 acres of alfalfa land as a result
of the application of 300,000 pounds of
sulphur last spring at the rate of 100
pounds per acre. The sulphur cost about
$9000, which gave an increased crop
yield the first year of approximately a
$50,000 value. As the effect of the appli
cation extends over a period of about
three years. Central Oregon farmers are
enthusiastic about the discovery which
Was made by the Oregon branch experi
ment station in Jackson county. In Des
chutes county alone, 225 tons of refined
flowered sulphur will be Used this season.
Of course, soil conditions may be such
lhat the sulphur will have little effect,
but J. E. Troxyl of Pendleton, Oliver
Dickson of Athena. R. E. Bean of Uma
pine, Hampton & Gulliford of Echo, and
D. B. Walford of Echo and W. Ft-Smith
of Hermiston are willing to try it out.
Other demonstrators will be secured at
the farm bureau organization meetings.
Learn What Crops
Particular Soil Is
Good for, Advice
It would pay many farmers to dis
cover what their soil and location is
best advocated for. Many farmers work
year after year with a given line of
crops, when an entirely different line
would do better. There is science in
farming, and the Oregon Agricultural
college authorities will be only too glad
to cooperate with any farmer who
wishes to have expert advica. The
farmer can secure more expert advice
free, or nearly free, than any other
active producer in the country.
Some soils can be greatly improved
by one process and some by another.
The professor of agriculture cap often
give a farmer advice that is worth 10
years' labor. Is the soil heavy, thin,
apparently exhausted, too wet. too dry,
or tipped away from the sun? Ask for
expert advice. It won t cost anything
to ask. and very little to be answered.
At one time it was firmly believed by
farmers in Eastern Oregon that al
falfa wouid not grow anywhere in that
section. The agricultural department
demonstrated that it would. A few
farmers followed directions of experts
and found that alfalfa could easily adapt
itself to the conditions. The rich alfalfa
fields of the Butter creek section in
Morrow county were among the first to
prove that the old "by guess and by
gob"- farmer didn't know anything about
alfalfa raising.
"Corn won't grow in the Willamette
valley," w-as the law and the gospel a
generation ago. The wondeifuHy good
corn and heavy yields of it in many
places in the Willamette valley prove
that what somebody knew 40 and 50
years ago was not so.

SPUD PRODUCTION

State's; Crops Are Smaller Be
cause Character of Seed Is
Not Given Attention.
The average production per acre
of potatoes in the United States is
very much lower than in Canada,
Great Britain . and European coun
tries outside of Italy.
One of the reasons for, the lower pro
duction in the Untied -States Is that less
attention has been given to the character
of the seed. Good seed is one of the de
termining factors in the production of
maximum crops of potatoes.
The use of high grade seed would in
crease the returns from the potato crop
of the country by many millions of dol
lars. The production of high grade seed
should be regarded as a special busi
ness. Good strains of seed may be obtained
by the tuber-unit, hill, or mass-selection
methods through the process of roguing
out the diseased and weak hills.
When tubers from diseased or weak
plants are planted, a similar harvest will
be reaped.
Only seed from productive plants
should be used.
Careful attention shculd be given to
securing seed that is free from varietal
mixture and that is true to type.
Good seed can hot be produced unless
the growing plants are given good cul
tural attention."
As a rule the quantity of seed used is
not sufficient to produce a maximum
crop.
From 15 to IS bushels of seed should
be used per acre instead of nine to 11,
as at the present time.
All seed stock Bhould be disinfected
before planting.
Good storage conditions are essentia'
to insure sound, firm seed at planting
time.
These points are discussed in detail in
the United StatesDepartment of Agri
culture's Farmers' Bulletin 533, "Good
Seed Potatoes, and How to Produce
Them," which was recently revised and
will be sent free on request.

All Wheat Appeals
To Be Handled by
Agriculture Dept.
Effective immediately, the Uhitea
States department of agriculture will
handle all wheat appeals from licensed
inspectors' grades on intrastate as well
as interstate transactions. Formerly,
under the grain standards act, wheat
was required to be shipped or delivered
for shipment across state line before
an appeal, could be taken to the govern
ment. The new arrangement has been made
by the secretary at the-urgent request of
Julius H. Barnes. United States wheat
director, and is effective under authority
and during the continuation of the food
control act, the wheat guaranty act, and
the executive order of May 14, 1919. Mr.
Barnes stated that it was necessary
to have the appeal privilege on all wheat
whether interstate or intrastate in order
to make the guarantee good to the pro
ducer of wheat everywhere in the United
States.
Pursuant to this agreement federal
grain supervisors in all the large mar
kets of the United States have been
instructed to entertain all wheat appeals.

Big Reduction in
Fertilizer Prices
Will Be Made Soon
Announcement has been made at the
office of the secretary of agriculture
that the department, in order to stabil

as well as the prices for mixed fertil
izers, has under consideration not only
the question of fair prices for mixed
fertilizers for the spring of 1920 but also
of such raw materials as sulphate of
ammonia, tankage, dried blood, fish
scrap, rock phosphate, bulk acid phos
phate, and cottonseed meal. The man
ufacturers of cottonseed meal were In
vited to a conference In Washington on
October 7 to consider the cost of man
ufacture and other facts which will en
able the department to arrive at a fair
price for this commodity, and the pro

vited to present such evidence as they
might desire on the cost of production
