The one positive action taken,
Monday by the state highway
commission was to make loca
tion of The Dalles-California
highway through the town of
Maupin where the citizens of
that hamlet want it through
the main street. This action
was taken on the earnest recom
mendation of County Judge Ad
kisson of Wasco county. About
two years ago Mkupin was wiped
aut by fire and the citizens asked
the commission to make a loca
tion so that the town could be
rebuilt along the side of the
highway. The commission acted
promptly, but the property own
good wishes.
Mr. and Mrs. Herrling are en
joying a trip to Crater Lake,
Willamette Valley and ocean
attractions, to return by way of
The Dalles and Maupin.
Too Heavy for Wheat
The International Farm Con
gress of America, in a call for
its unnual convention, says in
part:
"There are too many farms
that bring in little revenue, ex
cept the annual check for the
wheat crop. The very soil is
tired, and its tillers are worn
out by the hopeless effort to
make acres of wheat spell more
dollars.
The time has definitely passed
when wheat can carry all the
overhead of an average Amen
can farm, supply the family of
the owner or renter with the
money to buy the food supply
for the year, and pay the cost
of its own production and na-
keting.
That time may never come
again certainly it will notrnntu
the United States ceases to be a
wheat exporting nation, for the
domestic price is based on the
world price and protective meas
ure are proving at best only
patially effective. The Ameri
can farmer cannot successfully
compete with the cheap land,
cheap labor and water transpor
tation of other countries unless
he can take a large part of the
cost of operating his farm off of
his wheat crop.
Hope of relief through Gov
ernmental price-fixing is based
on a false theory. Nothing can
come of it.
There is no necessity for ex
periments of any sort economic
political, or by way of trying
out new crops or new farming
practices. It has been abund
antly proven that this very
region to which the conditions
under discussion apply, is sus
ceptible to a safe system of crop
diversification and live stock
production.
All that is need is a program,
generally applied, which will
bring in revenue every week in
the year, to supplement the
wheat check. Poultry, dairy
cows and other live stock will do
this. Such a program will pro-
