If our men obtain but $1.75 for wheat while Canadian farm ers selling to the same export trade get $2.40 our grievance oecomes even greater and i? i entitled to consideration. It is too early, however, to grow oversad or become too abusive, for perhaps the price fixing authorities have a plan for evening up the score in some manner. For one thing it appeals to the East Oregonian that the exporting of north west wheat by water instead of by rail via Chicago would solve the problem here. If ocean shipping can be revived this fall the freight differenti al would be abolished, in part if not entirely, and our peonle would thereby become entitl ed to the basic price. And why should not the northwest wheat go to' Europe by water this year. Our coast ship yards are turning out ships by the score for use in the European trade. What more natural than that this shipping should be used to car ry the staff of life to our allies in the war? how trampled upon and that if feature in which we have been we did fight Mexico and Japan very backward. could be inauced to invade our oriwn XITT.

The committee will be glad if anyone, farmer or dealer. will send information in regard to the quantities and prices of seed of the above sorts which he can offer for sale f. o. b. his shipping point, bags extra or included as the case may be. The information should give in each case the name of the va riety (especially in the case of grain crops), condition of the seed as to purity, year grown, and the price. The committee will then undertake to get such information into the hands of those who want the seed. The committee hopes that this re quest will receive wide circu lation and an immediate re sponse, as it is now time to get seed in the hands of nlanters Address Commit- Miss Aura Morse returned this week from t'matllla where she had been oti an extended visit.
