IOMH INTERESTING FREIGHT BATES FOR HAT GROWERS By L. A. III N'T The present system of freight rates "a.ler which Oregon Growers are compelled to operate has the effect of placing a tariff upon Oregon grown hay sold in either Oregon or Wash ington, .lusi exactly why this con dition happens to exist is hard to explain. The manager of the Oregon Co operative Hay Growers has just re in ned from a trip to Portland where formal application was made for an equal freight tariff on hay ship ments originating in Oregon as com pared with those In the state of Washington. The Chairman of the Agricultural Committee of the Port land Chamber of Commerce, the Oregon Farm Bureau, the Bend Com mercial Club and the Deschutes County Farm Bureau and interested In rmers in Clatsop and Columbia counties are uniting in their efforts to assist the Oregon Co-operative Hay (Dowers in gelling a fair rate. The present rate as it now stands is as follows, given from these key points, and in effect Jan. 1. I H 2 - . From Kennewick to Portland. 222 ml., present rate 23c From Kennewick to Astoria, 322 111 1 in A I de 134 n, 4 13 41 i2c nd N. P. I il From Ken new lc 111 i . present rate ... From Redmond to P mi , present rate . From Redmond to .' mi., present rate .... From Redmond to At ml., present rate ... These are S. P rates. This present rate amounts to a differential of $2. !I0 per ton in favor of Yakima shippers in some cases, while coming around by way of Sea ttle they have even a little better rale than this to Aberdeen. Oregon grow ers nsk nothing but an equal show with other producers. They feel that tho have a right to this, and know no good reason why they should be prevented from selling; their own hay h their own state, at least on 11 equal basis with out-stale ship ,ers. Mr. Plckurd. Assistant General Manager Freight Agent, has promis ed lo give the matter prompt ton--ideratlon. t Mr. Pickard is QUOtad as having said that there was probably enough hay in the Northwest now stacked on the farms ;o take care of all re quirements for the next thiee years, should no more hay be grown. Severn! of the farmers are clean ing up on their hay to sheepmen for feeding purposes at $S per ton in I the stack About 10,000 head of j sheep are being taken care of on the I West End. With a fair demand for No. 1 hay for shipment and the . growth of feeding and dairy interests i another ear should see vastly im proved conditions for the farmers of this section. Bargain till Febnprv Your little paper will soon be a year old. Started at the beginning of the slump, under adverse cir cumstances, the Mirror has enjoyed some prosperi ty, nevertheless, and the solution of the small town paper has been solved. Boardman is not large enough to support a printing plant and publish a pap sr of her own, but under the present arrangement she is getting a bigger and holler paper than many other towns of three times the size. The publisher knows you have your own little set backs and "getting by" is tha chief interest in life just now. But when things go "fluey" with the farmer, the printer has hard sledding too. So, to co-operate with you and share the loss, we are going to offer the Mirror at a reduced price for a few weeks. Most of you are in arrears to some extent, but it is because money is scarce. But money is just as scarce with us as it is with you. To all who will pay their subscriptions in advance Tor one year between now and February 1, 1922, we will make a rat" of $1.50 Per Year Ye have never asked you to pay the second install ment of your subscription, fully appreciating the condition of the rancher these days, but by meeting you half way, may we not expect renewals from all of you and new subscriptions from the few who do not take the paper. ttttttMMmMKMmeHtMI(MMM
