1 i Valley Farmers Hold Four Annual Meetings M , . By LILLIE L. MADSEN ' Farm Editor, The SUtesmaa While the weather is still misty, and ploughing Isnt good, farm ers are tucking away their annual meetings in preparedness for sunny weather and field busyness. ? i Four such meetings were held Thursday: A Willamette Valley turkey meeting at McMinnville; an agricultural meeting for Blue Lake Packers producers in West Salem, a cereal meeting for Mar- ion County F rmers at Keizer and the annual meeting of Polk County Livestock Association at Dallas City HalL (Story page 2, section L) Wit. the exception of the Dallas meeting, all were 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. events. Polk County's livestock men met Thursday night Turkey Growers McMINNVILLE Ninety Wil lamette Valley turkey growers met at the Yamhill Fair Building here Thursday and heard that the market wis running strong for poults, indicating that there might be some increase in turkey growing this coming year. Some expression of hopes that this in crease would not be too great was expressed by Don Smith, who served as chairman for the meeting. Louie Gross, county agent, re-' ported that the number of tur keys in the valley was running about the tame as it had the past two or three years. Price, and not number of tur keys, is the prime factor in tur . key inco.ne these days, Louie Gross said. He reported approxi mately the same number had been grown in the Willamette Valley the past three years. The difference in income was from the lower price. W. T. Guerts, manager of the Oregon Turkey Growers Associa tion, painted a brighter picture as he reported that turkey con sumption had increased 115 per cent in the - ast 15 years, taking it away from a "holiday treat" to an "ever lay meaL" . Cereal Giain Growers KEIZER OnL 25 Marion County cereal grain growers at tended the Thursday meeting hare over which Hollis Ottaway, Marion County agent, presided. Here malting barley formed vthe chief topic of discussion with farmers warned to grow, harvest and 1 prepare - their barley with "extra" care t i year as barley is going to te more plentiful than in some years past. Oren Kellet, head maltser of Great Western Malt plant in Van couver, Wash.7 urgec growers to keep a "pure" product this year eliminating all other grain from the barley. Pahlen Kasef erry and William Enschede urged Willamette Val ley ; wheat growers to attend wheat league meetings, too, in stead of leaving them all to East ern Oregon growers, whose prob lems were somewhat, different Ottaway indicated that he ex pected corn would replace much of the diverted wheat acres. Bine Lake 'Teeting WEST SALEM More than 300 growers attended the Blue Lake meeting where speakers indicat ed that the bean acreage might be increased a little over last . year's. John E. Johnson, field- man, was chairman of the day. 0. E. Snider, manager, who has 4- Hospital Shut, Medicine Men Revival Feared WARM SPRINGS. Ore. 1 In dians might go back to relying on medicine men and midwives as a result of the federal government's economy program, a tribal leader said Wednesday! night. That is perhaps the biggest dan ger in plans to close a 22-bed hos pital here, Frank Supah, member of the Warm Springs tribal coun cil, warned. Charles Jackson, council chair man, will head' a three-man dele gation leaving .Monday for Wash ington, D.C., to make suggestions. The government considers the local reservation hospital too cost ly to operate, and will close it by June 30. Indians needing care will be sent to onej of several Central Oregon hospitals. But Jackson said these hospitals make a financial responsibility study of Indians who appear for non-emergency? care, and turn away those who can't prove ability to pay. J I Jackson said Indians want the government to assure the hospitals that Indians' bills will be paid. If it doesn't, Supah added, Indians in their resentment and embar rassment over the money investi gations will return to their old customs and I the medicine man and midwives; will come back into their own. 1 f I TALLMAN J I PIANO STORES I I 395 S. 12th, Salem I ASSORTED CHOCOLATES All Milk or Dark.
