fllilk Situation
The Bend Bulletin, which has protested OPA
prices for fluid milk in its. area, j asks The
-Statesman, which early in the year! expressed
doubt as to the necessity .of price increases, to
review the situation anew, now that the OPA
order has been made permanent,
From a check made in the mid-WillametU
area The Statesman would report that condi
tions are a bit easier than they were in Feb
ruary and March. Green pasture?, though lata
this spring, jare coming on, enabling the farm
er to cut down his feeding of high-priced hay.
MUlfeeds ;are still high, in price and proteins
' hard to get. - '
The lack of dairy hands which ! distressed
producers through many months has been large
ly overcome, i The recent manpower order giv
ing draft deferment to dairy workers has
brought real relief, not only in retaining men
otherwise scheduled for the draft, but also in
starting the flow of. men from other, industries .
to the farm. Many have come from the ship
yards. Wages are high, from i $100 to $150
a month, plus house and garden tract.
The supply, of fluid milk is adequate in' all
urban markets and army camps, but the per
centage of market milk to Grade A milk is in
creasing. 'With the coming of good pasturage
the seasonal flush production will insure ade
quate supplies through the spring and early
" summer. The lower costs shot d result in some
profit to producers, off settinr .osses in the lean
winter months. .'-.4. -:f'k,iL:;. -j- '"'(' ' .
The price of dairy cows remain very high,
$150 and up. A recent auction report in the val
ley showed average sale price of $173. These
cows are not going to slaughter; in fact there
is some informed opinion to the effect that
more culling ought to be done. The Bend
Bulletin reports that two dairies- have quit
business in that district, and that six carloads
of dairy Cows have been shipped to Los Angeles.
There has always been a movement of dairy
stock to California from Oregon. It is doubtful
though if the reason for the movement the
Bulletin reports-is the price differential on milk.
The Bend price is 13c a quart delivered; the '
Los; Angeles price delivered is 14c, the same as
Portland, The store price in Los Angeles is 13c
Seattle reports the same prices as Los Angeles,
and Spokane lc lower on home-delivered milk
and c lower on store-delivered. I
Another phase- of the state milk! situation is
the relationship between areas like Bend and
The Dalles, and the Willamette valley. It has
been the general understanding, confirmed by
state college statistics, that this valley is a
higher cost area in milk production than the
Irrigated districts like Redmond and Hermiston.
Yet some of the most acute complaint has come
from Bend and The Dalles, and there local
dairies have suspended operations, f t
Is the trouble in these eastern Oregon com
munities wholly one of price? Or is there on the
part of dairymen an unwillingness to endure
the grief of war-time operation which is caus-
. ing other businessmen to fold up for the dura
tion? J v ' ';" ' ' ' - - i
With respect to price of milk there has just
come to hand the report from. the state college,
, dated April 12 giving the farm price index for
various farm products, using the 1935-1939
average as a base. The price of milk at whole
sale is 194, or nearly double the 1935-39 price.
This figure is higher than the index figure for
eggs, chickens, butterfat, hogs, wheat, corn,
oats, barley, clover seed. It is exceeded only
by, the figures . for beef cattle, hay, hops and
potatoes. ? t -
The public does not want to see dairymen
lose money over the long term; and while some
have been caught by the labor shortage and
high feed costs the majority appear to be mak
ing money. The price of dairy cows is still a
fair index of the profitableness of dairying.
As to the future much will depend on this
season's hay crop. If farmers lose their hay,
as they did in the valley last spring, then mora
of them may go out of business; and the milk
price -. may need to be increased to maintain,
essential supplies, y If they have : a good hay
harvest and conditions remain stable, prices
can remain stable. ' .
The Office of Price Administration is trying
to safeguard the whole, economic front against
inflation. Concessions here and there will soon
mean the submerging of all price-wage dikes.
There will be inequities in application of broad
policies; but the individual injustice must be
weighed in the balance against the larger good.
And it may come about that fluid milk will have
to be rationed as are canned goods, meat, but
ter, shoes. , ;
- This is war; and Sherman's definition still
applies. . V " i .
'One7orld I
If any proof were needed of the' hold Wen
dell Willkie has on the American people it may
be found in the amazing demand for his new
book "One World. The book did not go through
: the customary first, second, etc. editions. In
stead the presses started running,- and so great
was the immediate demand they j. haven't
stopped. They are still running night and day,
with a publication total at last report of 485,000.
"One World became immediately a best sell
er. . .'- :
The book itself is one which ; ought to be
read by every thoughtful American. It is a
report on Willkie's trip to Africa, Turkey, Rus
sia, China, Soviet Asia. It contains a summary
of his impressions and of his views about the
war and the future of the world.
Willkie-Is a most amazing Individual. He is
original; he has an inquiring and penetrating
mind; and he has a most engaging personality.
What other American, except Mr. Hoover, hold
lss no office, 4 wearing no title, I could travel
round the world and gain the respectful at
tention and receive the consideration which
WiUlda did? r And few Americana other than
professional writers could set down his travel
rctcs la to L-terrrtir and readable a form. We
f -f4t
jv"
i i i mim, i'i r ml
Paul Halloa
shall not attempt to review the book. It's avail ,
able at bookstores,- or will be soon; and merits
very general reading. - .
The party regulars accuse Willkie of being'
a non-comformist, of not "playing baU, of be- ;
ing quarterback but ignoring the "team," said
team being party big and little-wigs, congress
men, and organization politicians. The reason
they are ignored, is because they are so anti
quated, so unimaginative and so intellectually ,
constipated that they don't deserve much con
sideration. Here is a world on fire; here is a
civilization In flux; here may be: the dawning
of a really better day and most of the party
politico are deaf, dumb and blind, thinking
only In terms of a party victory, spoils of office,
and burial of the new deal. Willkie has a fresh
ness of approach, an openness of mind and a
willingness to adventure which makes him the
hope not only of his party but of the country
and the whole world. .

WASHINGTON, April 20 The government seems
to be disagreeing with Itself about our food pros
pects. I - I
Figures in the off ice of war information disagree
somewhat - with the agriculture department, and
even among themselves, as to
whether the picture is black or
dark brown, or ; whether 3,1 V
or' 8 per cent represents the.
proper estimate of production
increases or declines. j
Outside the muddled govern
ment, there are farm experts
from whom a less confusing
picture may be obtained. Ob
viously, it is nonsense for any
one at spring planting time!, to
try to reduce crop expectations
to slimly varying percentages.
Too much depends on the
weather. The crops will vary
10 to 20 per cent on that one factor alone.
But clear enough is the fact that the time for
panicky expectations has passed. ; The outlook has
changed completely in the past three weeks.
Developments in victory gardens, farm labor,
spring planting and machinery justify a sound ex
pectation that given normal weather we wfll
harvest about the same amount of food as last
year or i little less. A warm, moist spring, and
we will do even better than that. :
: The country has been frightened Into action.
Arrangements have just been completed to bring
possibly 6000, Bahamara into Florida, and perhaps
60,000 Mexicans into California and the mid-west, -"
to relieve the labor shortage. These are skilled
farm laborers, not the roustabouts and bar-flies
that this government's FSA dug up in Mexico
In small quantities last year.
1 No one seems to want the concentrated Japs .
except Mr. Ickes, and some i of the open space
farmers in the far west. It Is clear now they
should have been left on their small farms in Cali
fornia and along the coast where they were pro
ducing something and r where their machinery
is now piled high and largely unused and made to
work there, under full police protection to the
community. . "j ' . . . :
: But strangely enough, American farmers are
now returning' from high-paid war indusUlea to
spring planting in unexpected numbers. One Iowa
arsenal reported 16 gone back to farming one day
last week, 10 men the next day.
Apparently, these men merely left the farm for
the winter and always intended to go back when
there was work to be done.
; Estimates of livestock on hand Justify expecta
tions of somewhat normal production. Poultry pro
ductionhas been expanded more than 70 per cent.
While many cattle have been slaughtered, they
were for the most part deficient milk producers.
Sold dairy herds are mostly in the hands of other
farmers. . ' f ,
I So many pigs were bred last fall that many
authorities suspected there were too many to be
fed. . '. ' -- -:
No reports of restricted spring planting on a
national scale are suggested in statistics. Feed
and Fertilizers are short, but farmers are cooperat
ing among themselves on machinery and gasoline. "
Above an, the average citizen has been so
thoroughly awakened to the danger that victory
gardens are being planted on an unbelievable scale.
Vacant lots - next door to city apartment houses
are being utilized. Seed stores are sold out Even
golf clubs around here are donating small plots
to neighbors.
Obviously, this production which no govern
ment official has estimated or can estimate will
not only relieve a considerable part of the summer
demand, but will cut down on. transportation bur
dens, and provide much fanning : for winter.
Certainly here Is more proof of the never-ending
truth that the American people, when aroused, can
function on their own initiative without govern
ment help or direction, to accomplish miracles.
; Against this set of favorable circumstances, bow
ever, is the unestimated and inestimable factor of
weather. -f:--. . y:-t !. 5
The late spring cold wave froze some vegetable
plantings and fruits in the south and caused pessf
mlstic rumors: that the apple and fruit crop In
Maryland and upper New York state will be
'severely damaged. Certainly planting j I has been
delayed throughout the east.
A three-Inch snow, fall recently in niinois has
created some doubt about early oats, j The arid
regions of the Dakotas, however, have exceptional
subsoil moisture conditions which make their wheat
prospects hopeful, r " ;,.v: j
But the weather of the next 60 days will de
termine the extent of the yield, and the extent
of the food pinch in percentages which cannot
be guessed now. All in aU, the late spring is not
conducive to expectations of bumper yields, and has
shortened the growing season. . 7
No housewife, however, needs to live in fear
of the day of going, to the market and nx tae
shelves bare. She must continue great care in the
use of foods and In the avoidance of waste. The
victory garden must be hoed to the fullest.
But weather willing, there will be enough food
to go around a fact for which the American peo
ple, who acted largely under their own Initiative
Ja a dairerous emergency, should take a bow. ; "

COST OF IOUXNALS
That was a good story your
paper carried a few days ago
concerning the extra pay drawn ,
by desk attaches of the senate
and bouse in revising the Jour
nal. What a mess the Journals -of
both, houses must have been
in (if they ever kept a journal:
of proceedings) If it cost the tax
payers 15340 or approximately
that much to pay five clerks of '
the senate and a like number in '
the house to work for forty days
correcting the journals after the -session
ended. Of course lnclud--
ed in these salaries were over
time of 40 days for the president
of the senate and speaker of the.
house at $12 per day for return
ing to Salem, if they ever did,
to sign the journals. And like
wise was 40 days at $12 per day,
according to your paper, for Re-
publican Steelhammer, who was
supposed to 'keep track, of the ;
work. The other representative
Jones of Marion, must have felt
compunction of conscience and
only turned in a bill for 19 days.
Here we have four members
' of the assembly, watchdogs of
the state treasury, as it were,
participating in the magnani
mous perquisites awarded
by a genreous-assembly. We are
told that in adjoining states tho .
journals of both branches are
ready for signatures of both of
ficers within a very few days .
after . the legislature i adjourns
and not only that but the jour- :
nals are kept up to date each;
day., i
We are also told that a reso-;
lution passed by the house pro- -vided
that the clerks were lo
receive $t per day for the extra'
work. How come then, the
clerks of the house received $12.
Pray tell us what work Steel
hammer, Jones, Steiwer and.
McAllister had , to do to earn
them such sums. We taxpayers
must get busy, on matters like . '
these. Glad you . ran the- story -Does
not such a system pave ,
the. way - for Juggling of roll
calls, ete. It certainly could be
done and we don't: say - this
