The whole rural world Is In a for
ent of unrest, and there is an tin
iralleled volume and intensity of de
Tiulned, if not angry, protest, and an
n i rtoiis swarming at occupational con
fences, Interest groupings, political
ovements and propaganda. Such a
innoil cannot but arrest our atten
on. Indeed, it demands our careful
tudy and examination. It is not like
,' that six million aloof anil ruggedly
dependent men have cohie together
ml banded themselves into active
nions, societies, farm bureaus, and so
I'irtta, for no sufficient cause.
Investigation of the subject conclu
Ively proves that, while there is much
verstntement of grievances and nils
mception of remedies, the farmers
re right in complaining of wrongs
ng endured, and right in bidding that
I is feasible to relieve their ills with
nefit to the rest of the community.
Itls being the case of an Industry

orm alone, about one-third of the na
ional annual wealth production an
s the means of livelihood of about 4,
er cent of the population, it Is oh
ious that the subject is one of gruM
oneern. Not only do the former
lake up one-half of the nation, but
lie well-being of the other half de
ends upon them.
So long as we have nations, a wise
ulltclal economy will aim at a lnrg
legree of national self-sufficiency and
df-containment. Kome fell when tin

inly the lower grades of mentalit;
nd c haracter will remain on, or seek
he farm, unless agriculture Is capabb
1' being pursued w ith contentment and
deipmte compensation. Hence, to em
utter and impoverish the farmer Is ti
try up and contaminate the vita
ourcoa of the nation.
The war showed convincingly how
It-pendent the nation is on the full
iroduetivlty of the farms. Despite
lerculean efforts, agricultural produc
tion kept only a few weeks or months
ibead of consumption, and that only
iy increasing the acreage of certain
taple crops at the cost of reducing
liat of others. We ought not to for
et that lesson when we ponder on
he farmer's problems. They are truly
nmmon problems, and there should
lie no attempt to deal wdth them as
f they were purely selfish demands
if n clear-cut group, antagonistic to
he rest of the community. Kather
hould we consider agriculture In the
ight of broad national policy. Just
is we consider oil, coal, steel, dye
duffs, and so forth, as sinews of na
lonal strength. Our growing popnls
ion and a higher standard of living
lptnand increasing food supplies, and
nore wool, cotton, hides, and the rest.
With the disappearance of free or
heap fertile iHnd, additional acreage
ind increased yields can come only
rom costly effort. This we need not
xpect from an impoverished or un
mppy rural population.
It will not do to take a narrow view
of the rural discontent, or to appraise
it from the standpoint of yesterday.
This Is peculiarly an age of flux and
i-hange and new deals. Because a
blng always has been so no longer
means that It is righteous, or always
shall be so More, perhaps, than ever
before, there' Is n w idespread feeling
that all human relations can be Im
proved by taking thought, and that It
is not becoming for the reasoning ani
mal to leave his dentin) largely to
i-hance and natural Incidence.
Prudent and orderly adjustment of
production and distribution In accord

but that of farming. Yet, I venture
lo say, there Is no other Industry In
which It is so important to the pub

be in proportion to the need. The un
organized farmers naturally act blind

quence, surfeit and dearth, accompa

harass the consumer. One year iota
toes rot in the fields because of excess
production, and there Is a scarcity of
the things that have been displaced
to make way for the expansion of the
potato acreage; next year the punlsh
d farmers muss their fields on some
other crop, and potatoes enter the
,luss of luxuries; and so on.
Agriculture Is the greatest and fun
damentally the most Important of our
American Industries. The cities are
hut the branches of the tree of na
tl.msl life, the roots of which go deep
lv Into the land. We all flourish oi
decline with the farmer. So, when we
of the cities read of the present unl
versai distress of the farmers, of a
slump of six billion dollars in the farm

to pay cum .it bills, anil bow, seeking
relief from their ills, they are plan
ning to form pools, Inaugurate farm
ers' strikes, and demand legislation
abolishing grain exchanges, private
cattle markets, and the like, we ought
not hastily to brand them as economic
heretics and highwaymen, and burl at
them the charge of being seekers ot
special privilege. Rather, we should
ask if their trouble is not ours, and
see what can be done to improve tin
situation. Purely from selfinteres,
If for no higher motive, we should
help them. All of us want to gel back
permanently to "normalcy;" but is li
reasonable to hope for that condition
unless our greatest and most basic in
dustry can be put on a sound and solid
permanent foundation? The farmers
are not entitled to special privileges:
but are they not right in demanding
that they be placed on an equal foot
ing with the buyers of their product
and with other industries?

day. Short one man on account of

but returned loosers but not out of

Mrs. Lou Hayden returned to her
home in Seattle Sunday night, and
Mrs. Gl&sgow entertained a number
of invited guests during the evening
and a lot of the younger folks came
in later as a surprise on Cenevia.
Music, singing and playing games
were the order of the evening, and
everybody had a splendid time Lighl
refreshments were served, and the
younger folks accompanied Mi
Hayden to the depot to bid her good
bye. Oscar Otto and C. L, Freeman of
Heppner, are at Mrs. Walk ins home
this week while putting up some tem
porary buildings on their recentb
purchased ranch from Merrill, E.
Doble near the ferry landing. Mrs.
Freeman and family will move in
later.
Where have all the rabbits gone
to? The drive Sunday failed to lo
cate any considerable number of
them, consequently not the iuccesi
as expected. The weather was not
altogether favorable, but a good
crowd turned out and the fifty
pounds of weiners and other eat
were promptly taken care of after
the drive. II had the effect of givim
as a good appetite anyway, and the
sport itself was worth the efforts
made. A good supply of poison is
now on hand and another campaign
will be launched to poison the few
remaining jacks when the weather
man gives us some assurance that it
will quit snowing and not cover up
the bait.
ItlRDS ARK YOUR
SKILLFUL HIRED MAN
Farmers, more than any other ele
ment of the population, will be in
terested in the establishment and
maintenance of effective bird re
fugees, for the welfare of crops and
the commercial success of the farm
are intimately related to tin- num
bers and kinds of birds present and
to their economic tendencies.
The value of birds lies chiefly in
then destruction of injurious insects.
Leading an active life, they require
much food, and are the most raven
ous enemies of pests of this kind.
The various groups of birds differ
so much in habits that they feed up
on practically all groups of insects;
hardly an agricultural pest escapes
their attacks.
The alfalfa weevil has 45 different
bird enemies; the army worm, 43;
billbugs, 67; cotton boll-weevil, 66;
brown-tall moth, 31; chestnut wee

"YE AULD LANG SYNE"
Here's to the memory of Auld Lang
Syne.
Where on earth is that dog of mine?
The teasing strains of that old time
air
Brings one and all sweet memories
rare.
I'or waltz or two-step It matters not,
Tuxedo or polka or minu-what?
The "Promenade All," with such
dainty grace,
0 where can it be, my little dog's
face?
For Mike and Jim, and Charlie and
Tom,
For Nate and Pete and Harry and
John,
And every old Ned that could swing
'em 'round,
E'en the old time cowboy on the
floor were found.
And caught in the spell were the
babes and their mothers;
The aged, decrept, grandfathers
gra ndmothers,
nd sisters and brothers, the big and
the little,
The short and the long to the ring
of the fiddle.
The fat and the slim, with a groan
or a wail
Each danced to the strains if "The
Little Dog's Tail."
The music was lovely, the music was
rare,
And far out it fell on Ihe wintry
night air.
The dancers were merry, the
dancers were warm
And cigarette fumes could do us do
harm.
No time for the "shimmy" (tho the
space was just right).
All modern frills were dispensed with
just for that night.
For Auld Lang Syne held us ail tu
her thrall,
And each heart was loyal, and bowed
to her call.
So we ate and we drank, and our
feet kept the time,
As we danced to the music of Auld
Lang Syne.

LARGE AMOUNT OF MEAT PRO
DUCED IX NATION AL FORESTS
Through its issuance of paid graz
ing permits to stockmen of Oregon
and Washington the Forest Service
of the l. S. Department of Agricul
ture not only secures for the govern
ment a considerable sum of money,
but it transforms into a marketable
product weeds and grass that would
otherwise be lost. In addition graz
ing reduces the fire hazards in the
lorets by removing the annual
growth which would otherwise ma
ture and become highly inflammable
and might mean the loss of valuable
timber. This statement was made by
E. N. Kavanagb, chief of the office
of grazing for the North Pacific Dis
trlct of the Forest Service, in re
viewing the results of the past graz
ing season.
"Campers and tourists summering
in the high mountain country of the
two states may see hands ol sheep
and scattered bunches of cattle and
often do not realize that the owners
of this livestock are not only paying
Uncle Sam for the privilege ol utilll
ing this government forage but are
thereby helping produce a meat and
wool supply for the people of the
Pacific Northwest," said Mr. Ka
vanagh. "The National Forest resources
