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.

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
