H . ogden: ' Jewlcr to til Hermlton, ; ', Weat Bud. Oregon j Let us, tlien, consider some of the f ii nner's grievances, and see how far hey are real. In doing so, we should remember that, while there have been, nid still are, Instances of purposeful abuse, the subject should not be ap proached with any general Imputation existing distributive agencies of de liberately intentional oppression, but rather with the conception that the Marketing of farm products has not iron modernized. An ancient evil, and a nerslstent ne, Is the undergrnding of farm pred icts, with the result that what the farmers sell as oi" one quality Is re fold as of a higher. That this sort of hieanery should persist on any Im ortant scale In these days of busi ness integrity would seem almost ln redlble, but there Is much evidence hat It does so persist. Even as I rite, the newspapers announce the suspension of several firms from the 'ew York Produce Exchange for ex torting to German; as No. 2 wheat a vliole shipload of grossly Inferior wheat nixed with oats, chaff and the like. Another evil is that of Inaccurate velghlng of farm products, which, It s charged. Is sometimes a matter of lishonest Intention and sometimes of protective policy on the part of the local buyer, who fears that he may 'weigh out" more than he "weighs in." A greater grievance Is that at pres ent the Held farmer has little or no ontrol over the time and conditions if marketing his products, with the esult that lie Is often underpaid fur lis products and usually overcharged or marketing service. The differ nee between what the farmer 're elves and what the consumer pays ften exceeds all possibility of Just Scatlon. To cite a single Illustration, ast year, according to figures attest ed by the railways and the growers, icorgla watermelon-raisers received n the average 7.f cents for a melon, he railroads got 12.7 cents for carry ng It to Baltimore and the consumer Mild one dollar, leaving "it 8 cents for he service of marketing and Its risks, is against 20.2 cents for growing and ransportlng. The hard annals of arm-life are replete with such com Dentariet on the crudeness of pres nt practices. Nature prescribes that the farmer's goods" must be finished within two r three months of the year, "while Inancial anil storage llmltatloni gen i rally compel him to sell them at the unie time. As a rule, other Industries ure In a continuous process of finish ing goods for the markets; they ills tribute as they produce, and they can curtail production without too great injury to themselves or the conmni nltyT but If the farmer restricts his RABBITS MIST HE EX TERMINATED SO SAVS OR- DER OK COUNTY COURT tlllllllll H Pursuant to authority given in Chapter 127 of the 1919 Session laws of the State of Oregon, the Morrow County Court has instructed the County Agent to serve notice to the parties owning, leasing, occupying, possessing, or having charge of or dominion over land infested with jack rabbits, that, steps mujjt be taken immediately1 to exterminate the same under supervision of the county agent. 1. Poison will be furnished as long as funds voted for that purpose are available. 2. Each individual will be requir ed to provide proper bait, treat, pu same out on lands be owns or con trols, which are infested with rab bits. 3. Poison will be placed in the hands of the committeemen in areas that are infested from whom it can be secured. It is also available at the county agent's office. 4. Prepare poison baits as follows: Dissolve one ounce sulphate strych nine in one gallon of boiling water and sprinkle on 10 to 12 pounds of alfalfa leaves, chopped alfalfa, last cutting of alfalfa hay, wheat or rye heads, or Bhort cuttings. Stir the bait constantly so that all will be come thoroughly dampened 6. Put out in the trails in the canyons where the rabbits are con gregating while sheep are off the range When the sheep are on the ranee the Dens can be used. These must be prebalted however before putting out the poison to get the rabbits accustomed to feeding there, otherwise the pens are absolutely valuoless and the poison put in them practically waited. 6. In the wheat growing Mictions the wheat headings are much more effective than any other bait. Alfalfa (Continued Next Week) 7. Poison put out by parties on is best in alfalfa growing sections, land which they own or control need not endanger stock which will later be pastured on that range, provid ing it is scattered properly. Don't pile it up. Put out a few straws of heads in a place. If put out in piles you can take up what is left before stock are turned out. The strychnine sulphate is soluble in water and is washed off into the ground with the rain that usually comes about the time the snow leaves, providing the bait is not put out in piles. 8. In places where drives can be organized successfully or other means put into effect for immediate control of the pest, they can be sub stituted for poison. 9. The law provides that every man Bhall proceed to act promptly and that this announcement publish ed in the newspapers gives sufficient notice. The law also provides that unless the holdings are rid of the pest, that the court shall hire the work done and the expense will be assessed to the individuals and col lected in the manner taxes are col lected. The law is not dsignated to and will not work hardships on any man who attempts to comply with its provisions. Because of the great damage done by these rodents, the court deem it imperative that con certed action be taken and it is ex pected that every individual owning or occupying land infested with jack rabbits will comply promptly to the end that these rodents may be con trolled and exterminated while con ditions are favorable. Ground squirrels will also come under this provision of this act and action expected in season. Published by order of the County Court of Morrow county on January 5. 1922. C. C. CALKINS, 49-3t County Agricultural Agent uttput. It Is with disastrous eonse luences, both to himself and to the community. The average fnrmer Is busy with production for the major part of the year, and has nothing to sell. The hulk of his output comes on the mar ket at once. Hecause of lack of stor age facilities and of financial support, i he farmer cannot carry his goods through the year and dispose of them as they are currently needed. In the great majority of cases, farmers have to entrust storage In warehouses and elevators and the financial carrying if their products to others. farm products are generally mar keted at a time when there Is a con gestlon of both transportation and finance when cars and money are scarce. The outcome, In many In stances, Is that the farmers not only sell under pressure, and therefore at a disadvantage, but are compelled to take further reductions in net returns, in order to meet the charges for the service of storing, transporting, financ ing, and ultimate marketing which (barges they claim, are often exces sive, bear heavily on both consumer and producer, and are "under the con irol of those performing the services It Is true that they are relieved of i he risks of a changing market by selline at once : hut thev are pultc will Ing to take the unfavorable chance, if the favorable one also Is theirs and they can retain for themselves a part of the service charges that are uni form, In good years and bad, with high prices and low. While, in the main, the farmer must sell, regardless of market conditions, a ; the time of the maturity of crops. lie cannot suspend production in toto. lie must go on producing if he Is to go D living, and if the world Is to exist. The most he enn do is to curtail pro duction a little or alter its form, and that because he Is In the dark as to the probable demand for his goods may be only to jump from the frying pan into the fire, taking tiie consumer ith him. Even the dairy farmers, whose out put Is not seasonal, complain that they find themselves at disadvantage In t lie marketing of their productions, especially raw milk, because of the high costs of distribution, which they must ultimately bear.
